Tariffs hurt when you don't have a local alternative. We don't make the vast majority of the goods that we consume. Virtually all of it is imported. That 15%-20% is absolutely a tax on the consumer.

You know this. Yet, your devotion to Trump won't allow you to admit it.

Exactly!

Anyone saying you just buy it locally is being dishonest. All those Tariffs would be immediately passed on consumers. And it would be a much greater disaster than his first term because he would tariff all imports so you could not source from a different country than China.

In addition tariffs add a huge complexity that is time consuming for business that adds further costs because you must gain broker assistance.

The only thing I wonder about is if this is just Trump campaigning BS or if he would actually follow through and wreck our economy.

You have to lie to get fact checked. He lied from beginning to end and only got fact checked on a few smaller ones that he chose to dig in and expose himself.

The very first fact check was on babies being killed after they were born.

The moderator lied.

In Tim Walz's own state if a baby is born alive after a failed abortion the baby will be left to die. Tim Walz and Minnesota Democrats repealed a bill that would mandate medical care for those babies born alive after abortion.

You're mentally ill.

You must be refering to the issue of the "Born Alive Bill". You know that this is little more than a political smokescreen and is meant to undermine an issue effecting millions with an extremely rare occurrence.

Some background:

ABC News - "'Born-alive' bill passed by House Republicans would require care for infants born alive after failed abortion" wrote:

In a statement, Planned Parenthood criticized the bill saying doctors are already required to provide appropriate medical care by law saying that the bill makes up a problem that doesn't exist.
"This bill is deliberately misleading and offensive to pregnant people and the doctors and nurses who provide their care. It is yet another attempt by anti-abortion politicians to spread misinformation as a means to their warped political end: to ban safe and legal abortion," Jacqueline Ayers, the senior vice president of policy, organizing, and campaigns at Planned Parenthood Federation of America said in a statement about the bill.

And relying on this as a rebuttal simply proves an unwillingness to address the main issue, unfortunately. Do better.

There's people in the town saying their pets were taken.

"My neighbor informed me that her daughters friend had lost her cat. She checked pages, kennels, asked around, etc. One day she came home from work, as soon as she stepped out of her car, looked towards a neighbors house, where Haitians live, & saw her cat hanging from a branch, like you’d do a deer for butchering, & they were carving it up to eat.
I’ve been told they are doing this to dogs, they have been doing it at snyder park with the ducks & geese, as I was told that last bit by Rangers & police. Please keep a close eye on these animals."

Dumping 20,000 Haitians in a town that small is a disgrace. These people should be dumped in blue states and Democrats who vote for these terrible policies should be forced to take these families in.

I grew up in Springfield, so this episode is all a bit surreal.

I worked a few summers for the parks department at Snyder Park, mostly on the golf course which is no longer there. On two occasions the head greens keeper had to go talk with a guy who was bow hunting carp on the low end of the course which had been flooded when the adjacent creek overflowed following a heavy storm.

The park is part of a longish greenway that follows Buck Creek, so it's a magnet for Canadian geese which, like much of the upper northeast, have become a nuisance animal over the past decades given the virtual elimination of their natural predators. Taking geese out of season and without a permit and license is strictly illegal and subject to fines, but the geese population does kind of beg to be culled, albeit in accordance with DNR oversight. I can't speak to the alleged killing of domestic pets beyond that the city officials have stated they don't have credible evidence for this.

My understanding is that the Haitian population in Springfield consists largely of legal immigrants under "Temporary Protection Status". They have migrated there of their own accord not been "dumped". It's typical historically that immigrants tend to migrate to communities where they have family and friends organically leading to population clusters of similar immigrant ethnic origin.

Undoubtedly the large influx of immigrants is a serious burden on the greater community that needs to be dealt with by the local, state, and federal authorities, but the weaponized amplification of questionable narratives doesn't seem helpful in actually addressing the issue.
