I once cooked a bunch of historical English recipes that aren't really eaten any long, and I was shocked at how good they were. I'm convinced that the rationing during the World Wars dealt a deathblow to actual English cuisine, and that it was replaced with slop like beans on toast,. It's good to see that it's not just a schizo theory of mine.

There are a couple cooking channels based on ye olde English recipes. One had an old version of lasagna, another had saffron buns. I agree that the rationing was a big blow to English cuisine, it’s a shame.

Domestic and domestic manufacturing is like comparing apples to apple jelly. Just because Apple keeps their tax haven in Ireland doesn’t mean they build their phones there. They do it in the Foxconn factories chinamen throw themselves out of. Maybe some MAGA voters can work in the Foxconn factories being built here.

SC ruled that the US has to facilitate (as opposed to effectuate, the word used in the original TRO) returning that one guy from El Salvador. That specific word is used in the ruling and means the Feds have to make a good faith effort through whatever means with no deadline (as opposed to the district court that demanded it now now now). Roberts certainly took this case to use that language to basically say that no, the district court cannot control the foreign policy and military of the USA by demanding a specific outcome "at all costs".

Basically it's a super narrow ruling and about what I expected.

You need to stop coping about tarries as a replacement to income tax,

First off From an Austrian school taxation is theft standpoint a tariff is just as much theft as income tax I am sick of MAGA "libertarians" pretending otherwise.
Second The hard truth is that Trump's vision of using tariffs to replace income tax will never happen. Income tax has so many more advantages, it is way easier to collect, doesn't really distort the buying or selling of goods and services. People aren't going to stop working over a 5% income tax but they will stop buying things over a 5% tariff. They actually increase government money in a recession because people work more hours and more overtime. Tariffs are the opposite lowering revenue as people buy less things, they are way less stable and they increase prices for goods massively. If he wants to pay down the national debt he needs income tax he can't afford to have inconsistent revenue. This hurts your ability to refinance debt and take out newer lower interest debt to replace older higher interest debt. Even from a populist what about the working class standpoint income taxes are better. The average America makes 40K a year, if you make 40K a year you get most of your money back from tax returns anyway IIRC you are let paying $2816 a year. Trump's tariffs would likely cost you more then $2816 a year especially for hard to avoid expensive purchases set to become more expensive from the tariffs like car and house prices. IIRC the highest payer of income tax is doctor's, surgeons medical experts. We have these mother fuckers by the balls we can raise their income tax and they might grumble but they won't do shit since even with the income tax rise they can't just leave because no other country will let them charge what we let them charge. This is actually a way to leverage an American weakness into a strength part of why China's strategy has been so successful is the Chinese know how to play to their strengths while America is to wishy washy and doesn't focus enough.

Considering you think a $200 cert is $700, I sincerely doubt your financial literacy.

Also the past two pages of compujanny sperging made me blink twice and wonder if I wandered into the programming thread.

I think he's just been larping because he's bored after winning the election. Man had to have invested 50k+ dollars for him to make the losses he was claiming, someone did the math earlier in this thread

TDS-ridden folk are spreading baseless claims that the assassination attempt on Trump in Butler, PA was faked because there were no interviews with the shooter's family or friends.

It's like these morons forgot the media kept downplaying it and maybe the families never been interviewed cause they don't wanna face harassment and be associated with someone that nearly killed the president. These dumbasses joking and downplaying the attempt are the reason Trump won.

I've been trying to understand the SCOTUS ruling on the faggot illegal "from Maryland" who got sent to El Salvador pretty princess prison. They basically are punting back to the district court and say he needs to be released but he's not coming back to the US as he's illegal. Either Trump just says the paperwork was lost and oh well, or he gets put in Gitmo. He's not coming back to rape and murder no matter how much the liberal judges want it.

Answer the investment question, how could you lose that much without such a hefty investment and furthermore if you do have that kind of money (doubtful) you probably should have an actual broker and not just be a buy the dip->sell sell sell faggot. If your losses are really accurate you are a bit of a moron all and all, despite Trump’s economic gambits.

You’re avoiding the question,
