Supreme Cout Rules on Trump Immunity Case
Pooky replied to Crazy Cat's topic in Current Events and Hot Social Topics
What the left will never admit is their relief that Barack Obama will now never be prosecuted for the extra-judicial killing of a 16 year-old American national. -
Daily Update on Biden Tanking America (Part 2)
Pooky replied to TBoneTX's topic in Current Events and Hot Social Topics
How is Joe Biden tanking America today? Not only is he still President, he is still “running” 🤣 for re-election. The world saw his debate performance on Thursday and the calculus going on in other world leaders’ minds right now doesn’t even countenance another 4 years of the shadow government trying to keep a frail, senile old fraud sufficiently on track to keep up appearances. What they are thinking about is the next six and a half months. Our allies are hoping and praying that nothing of consequence happens, that would require a confident, or even competent, response involving the USA. Meanwhile, our adversaries are looking for every angle to take advantage of the absence of leadership in the U.S., every way they can benefit or profit from the current incumbent’s failing mental and physical acuity. And the people propping up Ol’ Joe, helping him off stage because he is too frail to manage that simple task without help, directing policy decisions in his name to protect their own self-interest and power base, are adamant that he can continue and will not allow him to be set aside, despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Buckle up, folks. It’s going to be a bumpy ride. -

The tariffs were not about who pays for them. China had systematically gamed the currency markets for over 20 years. What the tariffs achieved was a reduction in Chinese economic growth from 8.5% per annum to around 5% per annum, which was a significant blow to the CCP’s economic aspirations. Plus, the major benefit the tariffs achieved was to repatriate manufacturing from China to companies’ native countries and/or other, less economically hostile countries, to avoid the tariffs. This had a global benefit that the U.S. never saw reported. Japan alone had upward of 550 manufacturing centers repatriated from China as a result of those tariffs. It cannot be overstated that China needed to face the consequences of its gaming of the world’s financial markets. The muted response was to save face, because the Chinese understood that anything other than a token response would be met with more severe action that would cripple the CCP’s economic growth aspirations. The tariffs were having the desired effect. -

if memory serves correctly, when DJT imposed tariffs against China during his presidency, the Chinese response was muted, amounting to barely 20% of the U.S. figure, signifying that it was a face-saving measure only. The reason for this is that the knew the tariffs were justified, to rebalance the years of currency and market manipulation they had managed to effect with prior consequences. And the tariffs worked. Mass deportations of illegal aliens, on the other hand, are a logistical and administrative nightmare, due to the intentional and politically-driven overloading of the immigration system. As for tax cuts, what the left will never admit is that the DJT tax cut package increased tax receipts. Long may they continue, as they make sound financial sense. They just don’t punish high earners in the way the far left would like. Preventing the wide-scale domination of Chinese EVs may not fit in with the green agenda, but it makes the unions happy, so it keeps their money flowing to the DNC, even if their members might be realigning with the GOP. It also makes sound business sense. The Chinese have a myriad of EV companies, who could flood the world with their surplus production, sidelining the established manufacturers. It’s another case of China gaming the free market with extensive governmental support and subsidy. -
The best thing about Lavrenti Beria was that when Stalin died, Marshal Zhukov and other senior Soviet personnel interrupted a Presidium meeting, took him outside and shot him. Rumor has it that the trial that followed was only for show, using a double, to cover up his summary execution. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer fellow. 💀

Farage may be a monster raving looney, but he is standing as a Reform Party candidate. -
What would be interesting would be any background information to suggest whether or not his statements, even if lewd, have substance. Alas, apart from the candidate’s denials, which can always be excluded on account of him being a politician whose lips are moving, this information is somewhat lacking from the article.

Well, he has zero credibility anyway, so it’s possible. -

So Joe has promised not to pardon his son and respect the verdict. My take? Joe expects he won’t be the Democrat candidate in November and is relying on his replacement to do the deed. -
Glad to see they adopted the British method of hostage rescue … shoot anyone that isn’t a hostage. No matter their reason for being involved in keeping the hostages captive, they were by default complicit with the act of hostage taking and murder and so forfeited their reason for staying among the living.
