Empirically, the effect of protectionism has been borne out in the United States, which achieved its greatest period of economic growth in the 19th and early 20th century during its most protectionist era. If you contrast it with the UK, when it was losing its position as the pre-eminent industrial power, particularly due to innovations such as Krupp in Germany with steel, it simply continued the course of free trade, and its hold over world industrial capacity dramatically diminished in favor of the US and Germany.
UK lost the position earlier when American Harvey steel was invented and obsoleting the older compound armor. The German improvements to it with Krupp's steel removing all doubt the UK number one position being permanently lost to the U.S. and Germany.

A coalition of what lol

A coalition of wetback countries trying to take on the US is like a coalition of starving 8 year olds trying to take on 1980s Hulkster
A coalition was attempted, it failed spectacularly because it was just a mean girls club to talk shit about America then all the commies started losing their elections and died very quickly
 
Trump needs to talk to Abe's ghost and say "Shinzo, da fuck your people doing here, on my soil? This is not nakama behavior!"

There's actually a fair few Japanese owned companies in that region of SW Ohio. Not sure if the management is purely local or a mix with actual Japs. There were some apartment complexes out in West Chester that had townhouses that were mostly full of Japanese employees and their families, likely management positions, but that's mostly Iwata Bolt. There's a reason the greatest grocery store/international market in America is in Fairfield, Ohio.
 
Hey, that's a great idea! Let's send all the competent and important people back where they came from and improve those countries, and isolate all the useless incapable lazy white people in America! Then there's literally no reason to complain or not go along with mass deportation, right? Only the whites suffer, and everybody else wins!

Something of a sideline, but I like how youtube got creatively censorious with those subtitles. I can tell you for a fact that those subs aren't the original. At least not on my bootlegs.

Sorry Aaron McGruder, you aight, you just ain't nig enough to take shots at Beige Jesus on these here internets.

Personally I liked when Obama had celebrities worshiping his very existence, won a Nobel Peace Prize for reasons no one knows to this day, stoked racial division and authorized ten times more drone strikes then Bush did while no liberals complained about him doing it.
At this point Trump is OWED a Nobel Peace Prize. If he doesn't win it in this term, the Peace Prize has demonstrated itself to be like the Oscar, absolutely useless.
 
So is Ice hunting for Japanese or are they cleaning up all the Haitians there?
Haitians, if I had to guess. The Japanese would be on legit Visas. My guess is those "staffing agencies," have been pushing Haitians on everyone and the local management is a mix of Japanese who don't care and local Americans who would be only too happy to have cheap labor.

The Boondocks is such a national treasure.

UK and Germany both lost with the confluence of three things in the 1870s

1. Tariffs
2. Several early labor disputes resulted in American steel companies going over to Germany and hiring a bunch of German steel mill employees to come to Murica. They brought with them all kinds of knowledge about machines and methods that were quickly adopted in Murican steel mills
3. Industrial espionage wasn't really a thing or considered as such. Steel company executives from the US, UK, and Germany regularly toured each other's mills and no one seemed to care if a visiting executive saw everything and then applied what he saw back home. The Muricans were the most aggressive at doing the applying of what they saw in the superior (at the time) German mills
 
I think this is why the media hasn't been pushing hard against this yet, on top of being hit by Trump gum gum gatling style attacks. They know this is bad optics for the fag countries.

They know better because as soon as some vapid news whore opens her mouth about that shit Tom Homan would rattle off the 87 crimes the immigrant has already committed and ask if she'd like for him to be released outside of her house.
 
Honduras is threatening to kick US troops out over mass deportations.
Interesting how all these South American countries are up in arms for not wanting their garbage back. Probably the first time EVER that somebody had the balls to say "enough is enough." I did not even KNOW that many resources come from third world countries.
 
It really is fascinating watching the Colombian president torpedo his own country because he refuses to allow Colombian citizens into Colombia. In this whole showdown I have yet to see how denying your citizens entry is a reasonable action.

Imagine trying to challenge Trump, while he’s riding high on the most enthusiastic support the American people have expressed for any leader in years. This dude really did volunteer to be Trumps punching bag. Amazing.
The only smart thing to do to preserve illegal immigration is for Latin America apply for US Statehood. Then they'd have the interstate commerce clause working for them.
 
Who the fuck buys flowers anymore? No woman I dated after High School wanted flowers. I always thought most flowers shops were money laundering fronts.
All the women I know love flowers, and some of them (50+) even demand them for events, anniversaries, home decorating, apologies, etc. My grandmother has brought an arrangement to church every week for the last 60 years. Women can get very competitive with each other about flowers--who has the best arranagements, colors, varieties and whose man gives them flowers and whose doesn't. If you ever want to send the birds a twittering, send your lady a bouquet to be delivered to her at work.

I never made a big deal about them, but was surprised with a bouquet of roses for my birthday last year, first time I'd ever been given flowers by a man and it was really special and sweet. I didn't understand the appeal until it happened.

The Germans were quite active in protectionism under Bismarck, particularly after he refused to renew various Most Favored Nation trade agreements which began under Napoleon III and the UK, thus reintroducing trade barriers in Continental Europe.
