Trumpism is a religion of peace.
The actions of a few extremists do not represent the vast majority of republicans who are very peaceful.
They don't really believe what Trump says anyway.

Not ALL Muslims are like that... but ALL Trump Voters are!

Let's have a ban on fully automatic weapons that can shoot 600 rounds per minute. Oh, wait, we already do.

Hey WaltertheoFlanders.

Even the left has moved on from the "Trump Russia Collusion" fairy tale. It is now "White Supremacy." Please keep up.

The only proof we need that tRUMP is a Russian puppet, while Obama was a staunch defender of democracy and foe of Putin:

The US has delivered a batch of Javelin anti-tank busters to Ukraine, marking the first provision of lethal weaponry to Kiev despite warnings from Moscow...
Addressing his US counterpart, Mr Poroshenko added: “I am sincerely grateful for the just decision of Donald J. Trump in support of Ukraine, in defence of freedom and democracy.”
The Trump administration late last year formally approved a decision to provide Ukraine with lethal weaponry, including the Javelins.
Though the US provided almost $1bn in non-lethal military assistance to Ukraine since the war erupted in 2014, the Obama administration refrained from providing lethal arms fearing that such action would trigger Russia to escalate the conflict by providing more advanced weaponry to proxy forces.

But FACTS do not matter, what matters is that Fake News support our point of view...

That's kind of crude for a Garrison cartoon. But then again there isn't much to animate in a NPC face.

Perhaps if Mr Koch would be ready to pay more to his workers, then he would not have to employ illegals. But then he would not be able to earn $GAZILLION profit.

Nice fantasy

The economy is doing amazing. Unemployment at half century lows. Dems ignore this, and make up fantasies about Russia and the KKK.

marcus says

This great economy is a nearly linear continuation with what happened the previous 5 years, that were paying over one trillion deficits per year for.

It's not worth it. Sometimes spending less, having a recession, clearing out the excess would be better for the economy.

Deficits are an important part, but not all of it. The other quite important component is that due to ORANGEMANBAD and general paralysis of Federal power structures there are very few new regulations. Businesses feel more comfortable knowing that they will not be hit with new, random laws generated by brain-dead politicians.

marcus says

risk of his tariff policies

Prob depends on which industries we are talking about. Oil/fracking is pretty happy. Have not talked to farmers lately, they may think differently.

marcus says

not knowing what he's going to say next

Better Trump tweeting than Obama introducing new regulations, I'd say.

Somalians protest being unable to fund their terrorists with welfare cash allowance back in Somalia using US Banks.

“We saw that you liked a conspiracy tweet claiming that Mossad killed Epstein. You’ve been redflagged as a result and we’re here for your guns.”

marcus says

Notice the conflagration of "ILLEGAL" with legal immigrant. Not wanting a unmitigated flood of illegals does not make one against all immigration. This straw man meme is pathetic.

marcus says

Dems ignore this

Trump Cucks ignore that we're running deficits over a $trillion for this:







Are they the manufacturing jobs that Trump promised ?

Sadly the multiplier effect is not what it used to be, it's not worth the effect hey get, but it's still substantial. Any idiot is going to look good in that office with deficits that large (as long as the media is pretending it doesn't matter - which they won't do when a democrat is in office).

The economy is doing amazing

This is a lie, to call that amazing with deficit spending over 1 tillion pe...

Anti-Tariff Fucktrards don't understand why they can't get a job making a "Living Wage" while looking at that fucking graph either. Instead they push for the same old bull shit of a "minimum wage" because the dumbasses can't negotiate their own pay correctly or they accept doing work that isn't worth much to do in the first place. Then they feel like they should be able to make enough to live on and fight for that "living wage" to be applied to their woe is me minimum wage job. Fucktards, the lot of them...

What amazes me is that there are people that think tariffs will undo that. IT's been understood for many decades that the best that will do is cause inflation,

Actually, true costs of goods. A nation of free men and responsible environmental laws should not be outsourcing production to nations whose sole competitive advantage is use of slave labor and lax pollution laws.

marcus says

What amazes me is that there are people that think tarrifs will undo that. IT's been understood for many decades that the best that will do is cause inflation, where our pay goes up almost as much as the cost of living. I guess that's good for highly leveraged investors. But everyone else will be hosed royally.

The United States, and not Mexico or Venezuela, became a superpower because of Tariffs. As did Germany, South Korea, and Japan.

Lack of Tariffs ruined Free Trade Britain, which industrialized because of Tariffs as well as a ban of exporting Fuller's Earth and Wool.

marcus says

Please point me to some reading you can find explaining the causal relationship between tariffs and becoming a super power.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_System_(economic_plan)






The Great Thing about Southern Secession was that it finally allowed the American System to fully deploy without resistance for Rich Landlords, causing a huge boom in the US Economy.

Rich Landlords opposing tariffs and wanting cheaper, better goods from Europe rather than protect and develop native industry is why Mexico industrialized very slowly between 1800-1990.
