I assume that Neo meant the intent was to not have to implement tariffs. Just as the intent is to never have to use nuclear weapons. In either case, credible willingness is a critical part of the deterrent.

Indeed.
That’s also what made Reagan able to face off with the Soviets and break them down.

Is that actual TDS Mike or an honest appraisal of blatant toadyism?

Yeah, I guess you’re a “cuck” if you’re not a full on Trump sycophant.

The TDS is strong in this one.

Good for you, Liz. I’m a writer and caller to my reps as well. My House member, Susan Del Bene (D), sent me a snail mail letter back in March telling me that I was wrong about a crisis at the border. I just asked her a few days ago if she still believes there is no crisis. She won’t fess up because she, like so many dems, wants open borders. My efforts have no affect on her mind set, but I persist because I want her to know that not everyone in her district agrees with her.

Triggering humans, killing their sacred cows in front of them and cooking it, then eating it, is good though.

People really don’t like it when one equates Andrew Breitbart to Ben Shapiro. They really don’t. It’s an ALpha Game thing.

Shapiro was against Breitbart. So those for Alt Right or Breitbart, hate Shapiro.

It’s a Red vs Blue thing.

Or an Alinsky thing. Personalize! Freeze! Destroy! Get gain from it afterwards.

Oh, and to answer Irv: Yes, its possible Hannity is single-sided with Donald because he agrees with him on every single issue. That wouldnt preclude him from being an ass kisser. In fact I think that it would naturally trend that way.

Ben Shapiro “childlike”. As in ridiculous butt-hurt insult ridden public twitter storm childlike? like that? Cause, thats fairly childlike.
Shapiro praises Trump when Trump deserves praise and slams Trump when he deserves to be slammed. If you are unable to see flaws in how the Donald comports himself in office, you might as well maintain your loyal Hannity viewership. Nothing there will make you feel uncomfortable.

Ben is smart, but Mensa smart, not tempered by biological reality. If he went and served on the Western Front, and survived, he would be an intellect to listen to. At the moment he is so childlike. He so often takes an opposite to Trump position, almost instinctively, to what? Garner clicks?

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings- -nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much:
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And- -which is more- -you’ll be a Man, my son!

Trade is essential to us as people dragging ourselves from the muck of a savage brutish life to modernity. Trade enables America to exist, and all village tribal populations beyond about 100, to exist. Without trade, we would resort to war.
