I think this is a really helpful explanation for those americans who maybe thought tariffs were something to eat, or some kind of hat, hopefully it reaches their leadership before it reaches their wallet.Quote:

This is a clear escalation. Gone beyond tariffs for the penguins.

It’s a massive carve up whichever way you look at it. This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone - we know what he is. They voted him in fully aware of what they were getting.Quote:

No point in raising tarrifs anymore, trade between the 2 countries is pointless. Trump will probably still try and get the last word though.Quote:

America’s overall tariff rate actually went up after Wednesday. Shows how dumb stock market investors can be that it went up on the announcement.

A co-worker of mine (who is a judge), traveled by train from Montana to North Dakota for work this week. The train made a stop in Havre, MT, where ICE agents—armed and dressed in full military-style tactical gear—boarded the train.
They walked the full length of the train and questioned every single passenger about their citizenship status. According to the conductor, who has worked nearly 40 years on that route, this was a first. In all his decades of service, federal agents have never boarded his train like this.
The White House formally stating that covid was started by a lab leak in China

Be stunned if it wasn't. This most deadly infection since the Spanish flu happening literally where they study coronaviruses, sound. I don't think that's conspiracy, conspiracy is saying the absolutely wonderful vaccines weren't tremendousQuote:

The White House document (!?!?) linked to is atrocious propaganda, poorer than the sub par stuff the Soviets chucked about for decades.
The white house opinion means f all to me as probably nonsense. Epidemiologists I followed think the odds of being natural rather than at the heart of coronaviros research unlikely. I think it was totally an accident alsoQuote:
