It’s the ultimate irony that the people who shout America First and Buy American the loudest are the same people loading up shopping carts with the cheapest shit in the world made in China on their regular Wal-Mart shopping trips.

Trump really is trying to hand this to China on a silver plate aren’t they.

the worst part about tariffs is that they are sticky. even when the tariffs are removed the prices don’t go down. 

Or even 2 years ago, when prices were going up and inflation was becoming a serious problem, when you could still go a week or 2 without hearing from the president. I know some will say it’s because he was really old and infirm, but I choose to believe it was because he was a normal fucking human being who didn’t need…

Oh no. You don’t say that ill thought out policies, condemned by every reputable economist, are screwing things up in record time?

This is correct. Donald Trump only wants things that people more successful than him want. You could convince him that wind turbines are the greatest thing since sliced bread if you could convince Elmo to tell him Canada is “winning at wind.”

So the small amount of REMs extracted and refined in the US are obtained as by-products of the coal industry. That’s because they tend to accrue in the same mountainous folds in the planet’s crust. The big exception is a large deposit in the mid-rockies, which were previously a major area for silver and copper mining.

Yeah, Doug Ford was ripping him up on social media last week. And if there’s any leader who should have been a PR slam dunk for Trump, it’s Doug Ford, Canada’s Chris Christy. I hope the utter trainwreck in Washington helps Canadian voters appreciate their more moderate leadership a bit more.

trump is a active threat to the United States.

All of these people already decided they didn’t like the halftime show when they saw what Kendrick looks like, so now they are just looking for any excuse they can to back up that (bad) opinion

I’ve heard “rare earth minerals” bandied about as an explanation for Trump’s creepy lust for both Greenland and Canada. But you know where else has rare earth minerals? The US. We just abandoned the infrastructure to extract them when China started selling them.

After all, repeat a lie often enough and people will start to believe it.

This is correct. Donald Trump only wants things that people more successful than him want. You could convince him that wind turbines are the greatest thing since sliced bread if you could convince Elmo to tell him Canada is “winning at wind.”

Trump doesn’t know anything about South Africa. This is 100% shadow president Musk pulling the strings.

Oh, please do tell us how USAID is propping up Jalopnik, for fuck’s sake.

Well there is a VERY big fucking difference between what happened with Bob Menendez and literally every single Republican, including their current president. See- we had no problem with Menendez getting caught. We have no problem if he gets prosecuted, sentenced and sent to federal prison.

But Republicans? ALL of…

“Democrats punish the corrupt, Republicans just consider themselves exempt from the laws”

Basically yeah. With Biden they cried they can’t afford to live because of inflation... even though inflation returned to normal and wages had started to outpace inflation.

Experts questioned whether the move to rework guidance and rescind funds was legal
