Why didn't he write white people instead of "certain class of people"?
He might be "being-cheeky". At this point when you talk about land confiscation and South Africa people generally know you mean White people.
However, I agree, he should've said White people. South Africa getting hit for land confiscations is a massive win.
 
Economists are correct in saying tariffs rarely work in isolation, but combine them as a tool for forcing other countries to do what you want as well as abolishing the income tax, and they suddenly become very powerful. There's a reason the US until 1913 was so insanely wealthy.

They're powerful political tools the world's superpower can use, and Trump can offset price increases by eliminating the income tax, which he is pushing for.
 
We should hold World Expos again. They were a way to showcase the beauty of American architecture and culture.

This is the Temple of Music. It was a concert hall built specifically for the World Expo in Buffalo. It was demolished right after because world expos were meant to have ephemeral buildings. This is also where McKinley was murdered.

Can you imagine something like that being built today? Modern-day libs would act like it's an impossible feat and that it would take decades. They would also say it is somehow not ecological, or that domes are racist or something. But this was built very quickly by the finest minds of America and it cost around 3 mil to build, if you count inflation. I'm pretty sure the average ugly government building costs about the same, if not more.

We have better technology today to build wonders like this. They just don't want you to do it because the Elites don't want you to feel beauty. They want you to live in a bugpod and stare at dull brutalist architecture.
You don’t have to imagine, Trump is hosting one for America’s 250th birthday party.
 
A concern I have is that tariffs will likely cause short term price increases, and if prices don't lower by midterms it will most likely cost Republicans the House and Senate, significantly hampering Trump's ability to enact policy. If this happens it will likely lead to a Republican loss in 2028.
We're all having fun on the Lord's Day and you're doomposting? Canada and Mexico will fold before the midterms.
 
I saw a boomer tds sufferer I used to sorta know posting pics of a line at Costco (ofc) saying its a "pre tariff run on groceries! we're so lucky we got in when we did!" He's already got one replyer saying oh no she didn't go.

This seems like just signalling unless you run a restaurant or something is this a new and gay thing they're doing now? I see one little thread on reddit
 
Trump is calling out the South African land confiscations:

It's interesting. The kill whitey part of the ANC have mostly left to join splinter parties (EFF in 2013 and Zuma's MK in 2024) and Ramaphosa is trying to seize the land of white farmers despite being backed by the white business class and having been part of Mandela's unity government with the National Party back in the 90s

Like wtf is the ANC's ideology? Corruption and nothing else? Lmao
 
Another reason why Vance has a good chance to become the next President: he'll be seen as Trump's second term. Trump's first term was a completely different person and he was a cuck for most of it. People are usually more willing to give a shot to the same policies for eight years unless they're disastrous like in the case of Biden and Carter.

The tough part might be getting Vance to a second term.
Biden was supposed to be third term Obama except he very clearly sucked ass.

Vance would third term trump at least, and if trump 2 keeps it up, he will likely get another 8 years.

He's the youngest person in literally decades. That's more than enough for me to vote for him and he's based too. Sucks to suck Gen X, you had your chance and blew it.

Ecologically disastrous because of the extensive lighting.
Fascist because it's not a commie block.
Racist because it's white (or appears to be in the picture).
Sexist because the dome reminds them of a tit.
White Supremacist because it's not a mud hut.

I'm sure there's more if you're willing to look into the abyss.

Even if Congress was rational, they'd come to the conclusion that maintaining the income tax AND the tariffs at the same time is a good idea. After all, an IRS and ERS will double the revenue for the government /sarcasm.
