Filthy MAGAs, not conservatives. There's a difference. The MAGAs are convinced that George Soros is behind every smacking evil conspiracy on Earth, and they're also obsessed with every thing remotely related to the LGBTQ community. Banning books, drag queen story hours, genital checks in public restrooms, shooting cases of Bud Light with their AR-15s and all that horseshit.

These things might not matter to you, but they will matter to the idiots in the monster trucks flying the Trump flags & confederate flags.

Stranger yet is the fact that Cheeto also seems to have appointed a Labor Secretary who is actually PRO Labor? That one will probably piss off the corporate wing of the GOP more than it will the red-hatted lunatics.

Why would your DL overturn his supposedly own trade agreement?

Because he won't, silly Billy.

Companies are already looking to do trade in Europe and elsewhere. Mexico's looking towards China, who's already dealing increasingly with Asia, Africa and the developing world.

The game's already on but that's where destabilizing US trade gets you. Companies have to plan beyond one four year term, and they've got no time to fuck around.

Your DL will get in, talk tough, and do nothing, same as it ever was.

Sure I'll bet. Money down, dear. The loser leaves the board for good.

Karnal,
you're a doubting Thomas.
Trump will get tough with China and you know it.

He will fall apart at the first crisis no matter how minor. He cannot accept responsibility because he is a narcissist.

Already we see he has not ended the Ukraine war despite his boasts he would do it in a day even before being inaugurated. Narcissism!

Hey, Monk,
you don't talk to the Colonel. You listen to him. The man's enlarged my mind. He's a poet-warrior in the classic sense. I mean, sometimes he'll, uh, well, you'll say hello to him, right? And he'll just walk right by you, and he won't even notice you. And suddenly he'll grab you, and he'll throw you in a corner, and he'll say "Do you know that 'if' is the middle word in life? 'If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you, if you can trust yourself when all men doubt you'" I mean, I'm no — I can't — I'm a little man. I'm a little man. He's, he's a great man. I should have been a pair of ragged claws scuttling across floors of silent seas.

Stop the bullshit FFS.

Trump is old, senile.

Trump is a narcissist.

Trump will fall apart at the first crisis to arise.

Furthermore—he will be driven, in the first few months anyway by thoughts of revenge.

His tariffs will increase the cost of living for Americans as will bulk deporting ‘illegals’ so his popularity won’t last long. Increasingly fascist, revengeful.

Not good.

Then how is Biden dealing with the Chinese? :

unfair competition from Govt. subsidies,

price dumping at below cost, which closes down American and Australia businesses -
check out how BHP closed nearly all their steel mills,

trying to compete with employers who pay their workers
only a bowl of rice per day and have no OH&S standards,

and China making tons of Fentanyl and flooding the USA with it from the Mexico border?

Last time Trump was in power the US was the largest oil producer ...

Who was in power in 2013? I'm curious.

17 October 2013

U.S. has overtaken Saudi Arabia to become the world's biggest oil producer

The United States is now the world's biggest supplier of oil overtaking the world number one, Saudi Arabia, according to latest output figures.

A surge in US oil output, which includes natural gas liquids and biofuels, has swelled 3.2 million barrels per day (bpd) since 2009.

The spike in oil production is the fastest expansion over a four-year period since Saudi Arabia's output surge from 1970-1974, energy analysis firm PIRA said in a statement.

Under the rapist?

Karnal,
you're a doubting Thomas.

The share market's already responding, dear. Go talk to Goldman Sachs.

"Getting tough with Chi-na" just leads to US inflation. Chinese business responds accordingly and exports more solar panels and EVs to Africa.

For China and the Darkies, it's a "win-win". For American consumers, it's a big loss.

For American drug-users, it makes no difference at all. The Fentanyl keeps coming in.

Nailed it.
