Good night all.

America is about to be destroyed in 24 hours by Trump's 10% tariff on Pink Lawn Flamingos and Counterfeit #Dilbert Calendars unless XI blinks.

Hoard your XXL polyester panties from Shein.

🤣

This is going to be interesting.

25% on Canada and Mexico, with Trump saying he might be excluding oil

Reporter: “Is there anything China, Canada, and Mexico can do tonight to forestall your implementation of tariffs tomorrow?”

Donald Trump “No. Nothing.”

Trump is the strongest leader the United States has ever had.

Oh, Canada today introduced a "Rural Migrant" Scheme where they're settling Refugees in small farm and logging towns in like Manitoba.

Yes. Because Canada, like Europe, is undergoing a demographic death spiral in which their social welfare systems cannot survive w/o massive immigration. Regardless what their citizens want.

How many ghost towns have come about in America over the last 15 years or so? Still, that's nothing compared to what is happening in Dying Europe and it's counterpoints in South Korea, China, Japan and Canada.

So even when the Conservatives take over Parliament, they too will be forced to continue this in some form or another. Guaranteed.

In industrialized countries, demographic collapse shows up in rural areas first, then suburbs. This has been happening in Japan for over a decade. There is so many empty farms and houses in the Japanese sticks they offer programs for ppl to move into them, kinda like Detroit does.

How many nice houses on Zillow, etc. do you see for sale cheap in rural Italy? It's starting to happen there too.

The answer to the birthrate crisis is no student loans for unmarried women without children.

A decade ago, I'd say the stealthy answer is to limit Fedloans to STEM, but these days the college Admins would just water down CS and Engineering to be 90% Cultural Awareness Classes

If not for the Biden admin to the South being a companion regime to his tyranny. Trudeau would alive been burned at the stake over a huge bonfire long before now.

It's time for Canadians to rise up and strike fear in the Canadian commies. The days of fearing them because of the Stalin regime to the South, might retaliate and whip ass to restore order. Should be behind them now. Get Castro's son, and git him good!

NBC ran a story yesterday headlined, “Trump to impose tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China on Saturday, White House says.” He said he would do it, he is doing it, and yet the media is still freaking out. Clearly, the idea of a president who actually does the things he promised during the campaign is completely disruptive. We didn’t think he’d actually do it!




Yesterday, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that, starting today (Feb. 1), as promised the U.S. will impose a 25% tariff on all goods entering the U.S. from Canada and Mexico and a 10% tariff on goods from China. The President stressed that he wants to encourage the three countries to do more to stop illegal immigrants and fentanyl from entering the United States. ...

The media has no idea how any of this will play out. Nobody does. Trump is making big moves, disrupting the old order, and it is probably impossible to predict exactly how things will go down. Assuming Trump doesn’t pull some kind of surprise rabbit out of his hat, like new trade deals with the three big trading partners, then there will be a period of economic adjustment.

Get ready for daily articles whining about how the tariffs increased the price of this product or that product.

Almost every country depends on the USA in one way or another.
Also, many people talk shit about the USA.
Fuck them all.
Fuck also those shithead traitor Americans who make money replacing American workers with foreigners.
My brother had his roof replaced recently. He told me that all of the guys were foreigners, but he saved a bundle on it.
"Don't worry; you'll pay more than the money you saved on that roof in April. Your taxes will help support the bastard children of those illegals."

Trump signed the Tariff orders. They take effect Tuesday.

Trump started off the tariffs with a 25% tariff on goods from Mexico and Canada (Canadian oil only gets a 10% tariff).

Following that he added 10% onto China's tariffs.

The biggest is that he removed the exemption for tariffs on goods priced less than $800.

Also, the tariffs immediately escalate if there are reprisals put on US goods.

Why not just close the fucking border for illegals and drugs from their side?

They can't. Border is too big. It's like either the #1 or #2 longest unsecured border in the world.

The Canadian and Mexican tariffs are stimulants to the people being wrung out to rebel against their incompetent and abusive governments at last. When businesses start collapsing and they go into more or less immediate recession, the comrades and cartel installations won't be looking so good any more to their people (or, just worse than ever). Combine that also with aggressive military action against the cartels.

I'm not even sure Canada has an icebreaker anymore.

Trudeau announced 25% on US imports.

There's only one problem. 75% of Canadian exports go to the USA. Only 12% of US imports come from Canada.

Canada alone is not even California in population. They need them far, far, far more than we need them. Big difference in leverage.

Yeah, they even rented Leo-2 tanks from Zee Germans when they were deployed in Afghanistan.

Per democrats' propaganda, tariffs are paid by USA and will increase costs of products for every American.

Humm, why than Canada and Mexico wants retaliation tariffs, just to tax themself?

Also, why then aren't they screaming about sales taxes too?

Quite the virtue signals from somebody fake elected on a wave of Cartel political murders. But then, that's their way, isn't it?

And, just like that, the Mexican President tells all her cartel buddies to pony up a fake Potemkin drug interception. Suddenly, they are all competency, morality and alacrity.
Like here, the stuff will be warehoused, inventoried then back on the street in short order through corrupt officials. No harm done to the profits, maybe an extra cut for the politicians and police.

Funny how they knew so fast after the tariff information how and where to make the busts.

I guess nobody told them this isn't the best way to impress your host country that you should be allowed to stay. Maybe some of them will accidentally be included on the planes destined for firing squads in Colombia and Venezuela.

Also:

If Free Trade worked, economists would be pointing to your wallet, to productivity and wage gain relationship improving rather than seperating wildly, to median wages rising faster than inflation.

They wouldn't blabber about theories.

The moment they say "It would have been worse without it." ask them if they applied to the Nobel committee for inventing an alt history multi-dimensional scanning machine.

ALL of the evidence is that the US is better off with tariffs. Most of our greatest GDP growth was when the tariff was north of 30%.

This is fucking rad!

Britain didn't have Free Trade until 1860, after the steam engine, massive ironworks, etc.

The UK was criss crossed with countless railways by 1860. Even the US East Coast had thousands of miles of rail North to South - all built under a tariff regime we'd consider very high today. Those US tariffs would continue for about another century, and Britain would re-impose tariffs after WW1 to save it's industry and not have a Communist revolution, and of course they'd have been dead ducks 20 years later if they had freely traded their industrial base away.

The highest tariff we ever had was after the Panic of 1890, thanks to McKinley and the Republican Party.

Somebody go look at the growth rate of the US back vis-a-vis "Hurr Durr Free Trade strangle growth according to chalkboard theory but not actual reality"

BTW, Norway's Avg Tariff is very different than the specific 200,300,400% tariffs they have on meat, chicken, vegetables... all things we in the States could provide far chaper.

That's why "Hurr Durr avg. tariff only single digit percent" is a dodge.

It's not the total tariffs on all the internationally ordered categories of everything, it's in what's a competitive advantage that counts.

If China had 6% on Construction Machinery and Cereals (it's 20%+) nobody in the States would care their average rate on pink lawn flamingos and pencils was also only 6% or if their tariff on coffee was 50%.

Why is Canada choosing trade war rather than securing their border and stopping illegal drug smuggling and human trafficking?

Only one reason that makes sense.

Looks like they've been profiting off it.
