Other than a few extremists, I don’t recall anyone who’s pro Hamas or their autocratic tendencies.

Israel on the other hand….

So again…you’ve got nothing other than trying to own the libs. Which you’re not very good at.
Somebody’s not paying attention to what’s going on in New York City
Are there many pro - Hamas rallies?

Analysis-How the United States is eating Trump's tariffs
Cavallo and researchers Paola Llamas and Franco Vasquez have been tracking the price of 359,148 goods, from carpets to coffee, at major online and brick-and-mortar retailers in the United States.

They found that imported goods have become 4% more expensive since Trump started imposing tariffs in early March, while the price of domestic products rose by 2%.

The biggest increases for imports were seen in goods that the United States cannot produce domestically, such as coffee, or that come from highly penalised countries, like Turkey.

These price hikes, while material, have been generally far smaller than the tariff rate on the products in question - implying that sellers were absorbing some of the cost as well.

Yet U.S. import prices, which don't include tariffs, showed foreign exporters have been raising their prices in dollars and passing on to their U.S. buyers part of the greenback's depreciation against their currencies.

"This suggests foreign producers are not absorbing much if any of the U.S. tariffs, consistent with prior economic research," researchers at Yale University's Budget Lab think-tank said in a blog post.

National indices of export prices paint the same picture. The cost of goods exported by China, Germany, Mexico, Turkey and India have all risen, with Japan the only exception.

FULL IMPACT OF TARIFFS YET TO BE FELT

Adapting to Trump's tariffs - a still-incomplete set of levies that pushed import taxes from an average of around 2% to an estimated 17% - is still underway. It is seen taking months longer as exporters, importers and consumers jostle over who pays duties worth round $30 billion per month.

Trump bet China would face ‘tremendous difficulties’ without U.S. consumers—Beijing just focused on the rest of the world instead
President Trump’s tariff offensive against China appears to be backfiring as Beijing sidesteps U.S. consumers and boosts exports elsewhere. Chinese shipments to the U.S. plunged 27% in September, but overall exports rose 8.3%—their highest total this year—driven by strong demand from Europe and other markets. The World Bank now expects China’s economy to grow 4.8% in 2025, while it downgraded U.S. growth to 1.4%. Despite Trump’s renewed threat of 100% tariffs, analysts at UBS and Deutsche Bank say both sides appear open to compromise, with markets betting negotiations will resume soon.
That's the problem with picking a fight with almost every kid on the playground.

If Comey is not found guilty, it'll mostly be that he will be tried in DC. It'll be just like Sussman. Guy charged the Clinton campaign for services rendered, but somehow that didn't prove he was working for the Clinton campaign?

Nobody really expects anyone involved with the fabricated Russia collusion scam to be convicted. The best one can hope for is for people to simply understand what a snake Comey and his ilk are.
Yep, other than the DOJ lawyer who got a slap on the wrist for lying on the FISA warrant. Crossfire Hurricame and Artic Frost- shows a Biden DOJ/FBI that was highly politicized and corrupt to the core. The DOJ political appointees who were involved left with the outgoing Biden admin. Patel has already fired agents who were involved in both. Following orders was no excuse.

As far as Comey, trial will be held in Northern VA. Jury pool won‘t be the 90+% donk that it is in DC, but will be 75-80% (Arlington/Alexandria, 70% Fairfax Co). Between that and a Biden appointed judge, a conviction is unlikely. Most like aquitted or hung.

Speaking of Comey, turns out he‘s an admitted commie, or was. 2003 interview:
I voted for Reagan. I’d moved from communist to whatever I am now.

It’s not a problem at all and it’s about time. We now have a president that sticks up for the United States of America instead of letting us get abused on a global scale.

Thats one of the reasons why Trump is so popular on a global scale because other countries realize and support the United States being the leader of the world

Oh…you mean the guy who’s spent quite a bit of time talking to voters including MAGA and what their needs are? The guy who’s ideas like affordable childcare have worked elsewhere?

Yeah…I agree with some of his views. Anyone who supports a vibrant middle class able to actualize the disappearing American dream should.

Do you have a point here?

He’s filthy rich? What qualifies as “filthy rich” and why woukd that matter anyways? FDR was a traitor to his own class. Trump is a populist “working man’s” advocate, despite his fortune.

And why would age matter? Are there no older democratic socialistic Swedes?

He's worked to spend it.

If trump had taken the money that Fred gave him and put it in the S&P 500 he would probably a had a greater net worth in 2016 then he actually had from his real estate development business and being a 3rd rate reality TV personality.

His wealth has skyrocketed with the grift and corruption he's taken advantage of as POTUS.

Of course you support Mandami

How does raising taxes on all your New Yorkers, that he can’t do by the way, but wants to, help the middle class?

How is a slick talking shuckster Who’s never had a real job in his life gonna help the working middle class :lol:

The only thing Mandummy will do for the middle class will be to motivate them to move out of New York State and right down to Florida
