Scary when you find yourself agreeing with Rand Paul
“Rand Paul: "The whole [tariffs] debate is so fundamentally backwards & upside down. It's based on a fallacy & the fallacy is this: that somehow in a trade, someone must lose. That somehow when you trade with someone, someone is taking advantage of you... I have a trade deficit with my grocery store"
Where I've been for a long time with national Republicans when they resist at all: "Hey, that's great, really, but you were OK with.................................................................................................................???
Thanks for admitting that Trump’s tariffs are inflationary.
We can add inflation to the extensive list of things you don't understand.
lol...
Your statement: "You'll manage a 3-5% increase in the short term under the orange man."
According to the International monetary fund: Inflation is the rate of increase in prices over a given period of time.
According to the US Department of Labor: Inflation can be defined as the overall general upward price movement of goods and services in an economy.
According to the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland: Inflation is defined as ongoing increases in the overall level of prices.
If prices go up 3-5% (as you say), that is INFLATION. Or do you have some other definition? Or do you expect prices to drop at some later date? Why would they if the tariffs are still in place? Or do you expect the tariffs on China to be short-lived?
Too bad Trump cut funding for all the research that would “brilliantly create the new.” You’re in a cult.
The Cult of America, you should join or learn mandarin and whip your kids into working for nothing. You obviously have no idea what it means to be an American but we don't need funding to think.
The irony of this post coming from somebody who's never had a coherent thought in their life.
Please cite executive orders by Obama and Biden that targeted law firms who sued them or defended political foes. Please cite any instance of those Presidents arresting people without stating a crime, then jailing them or deporting them without a court hearing. Please cite any example of Obama or Biden withholding money from specific colleges to change free speech rules or banning specific books. Please cite any example of those Presidents Justice dept, FBI, etc. announcing specific investigations into individuals without stating a crime. Trump has done all of these.
Still waiting for specific instances of "lawfare" and "weaponizing" by Obama & Biden.
Weaponization of the government by the Obama administration:

We are N.Korea. All of Trumps sycophants sit in a table around dear leader and try to impress him. To make him happy to stay in his favor.
Pam Bondi: Within the next 24 hours you're going to be seeing another huge arrest on a Tesla dealership. That person will be looking at least 20 years in prison with no negotiations.
The source is my memory of what was going on 10 years ago. My memory is great.
And this is why you were downvoted By for “facts”
You just got taken out to the woodshed, 47:
After years of denial, the IRS has admitted it targeted conservative groups during the Obama administration and punished those groups for purely political reasons. In a historic settlement, a judge this week approved a plan for the Internal Revenue Service to pay restitution to hundreds of conservative groups. It is the first time the IRS has been forced to pay a settlement of this kind. The IRS admitted to unconstitutionally targeting groups based on those group’s political philosophy and agreed to pay $3.5 million to the groups. For years the Obama administration denied that its agencies, including the IRS, did any thing wrong but the evidence was overwhelming. Those groups were harassed with intrusive inspections and denial of non-profit status. Faced with a new administration that promised to “drain the swamp” of corruption, the IRS now admits its made changes so that political targeting can’t occur in the future. “It shows that when a government agency desires to target citizens based on their viewpoints, a price will be paid,” said Edward Greim, the lawyer who led the class action case in federal court in Cincinnati. The groups, which included Tea Party organizations, also received a “sincere apology” from the IRS, and the government agreed to a declaratory judgment that “it is wrong” to scrutinize a tax return because of a taxpayer’s name or political philosophy, the report said. The settlement is historic “I’m not frankly aware of any other class-action lawsuit against the IRS for anything where the IRS paid money,” Mark Meckler, who as president of Citizens for Self Governance funded the class-action challenge, previously told The Washington Times when the settlement was submitted for final approval a few weeks ago.
No Criminal Charges For Senior IRS Executive Lois Lerner Lois Lerner, then-senior executive of the IRS, allegedly “put in place new processes that guaranteed even more delay,” Greim told the Times, referring to Tea Party groups’ attempts to secure tax-exempt status. But Lerner denied that she encouraged the targeting. In fact, a U.S. Justice Department review cleared her and called her one of the “heroes of the saga,” saying she attempted to stop it.
