    Trump places tariffs on islands with a human population of zero.

    If I'm understanding this right, they're not actually reciprocal tariffs and are based on some trade deficit formula? If so the direct remedy for those countries would be to export less to America, right? I very much doubt they'll give up on the US market, so then this pretty much becomes a...

    Nintendo Switch 2 Direct - Launches June 5. $449.99 price

    They could've went wild with DD2 and the Switch 2 mic/screen sharing features. Missed opportunity.

    Trump ends freedom of speech just one month after taking office

    That's like the Q/MAGA dudes blaming J6 on leftist infiltrators. Both sides are all ate up with nonsense.

    Trump ends freedom of speech just one month after taking office

    Their actions helped set the stage for J6. As I said, blocking elections observers doesn't promote trust in our sacred democratic process. I'll go further and suggest that the Floyd riots normalized violent protests, which J6 definitely was.

    Trump ends freedom of speech just one month after taking office

    1 stroked out at the office, 8 hrs later (did the pepper spray magically dislodge arterial plaque?). 4 others killed themselves well after the fact. Everyone pretending like they died in battle doesn't make it so. FWIW, I don't believe J6 was "mostly peaceful" either and duct taping pizza boxes...

    That could've been anyone...seems like half of our lawmakers are shuffling around in "Depends".

    Trump & Vance vs Zelensky

    Bald eagle looked disgusting - talons protruding - feasting on garbage before the shoot. Very very disrespectful. (we should've gone with the turkey as our bird)

    Trump & Vance vs Zelensky

    LOL You guys have picked strange bedfellows. David Jeffrey Frum (/frʌm/; born 30 June 1960) is a Canadian-American political commentator and a former speechwriter for President George W. Bush. He is a senior editor at The Atlantic as well as an MSNBC contributor. In 2003, Frum authored the...

    Trump & Vance vs Zelensky

    Europe isn't in a position to do so. I had a hearty chuckle listening to some German muckety muck talk about unleashing Germany's industry in defense of Ukraine... Those dudes can barely keep the lights on. I forget exactly how much their manufacturing has contracted, but it seemed grim. Anyway...

    Trump & Vance vs Zelensky

    I don't believe this is over. The "deal" will be revived. We're not ones to readily walk away from half-baked foreign policy boondoggles :lol:

    Donald Trump is now officially the 47th President of the United States of America

    As with every new administration, my hope is that my household is minimally impacted by whatever nonsense is conjured up on K Street.

    Why did you vote for Trump?

    I don't know if I qualify as one, but it's bad national policy because of the (predictable) downstream effects; low babies>low workers>low revenue which leads to "least bad" quick fix defacto policies like surge immigration.
