Because they want it made in china so they can steal American tech.
But if they import it, they can buy exactly 1 and still steal US tech. They can lower US tariffs both ways, still steal from the companies that manufacture in China, and import samples from companies that don't manufacture in China and steal that too.

Afaik all they're required to do is lower trade barriers, they're not required to force their people to buy US products. So why not lower the trade barriers and let the US fail due to price?

At this point, the only thing that makes sense to me is the fear of losing face. After convincing their populace that the US is an enemy, not just a competitor, but an enemy who aims to destroy China and all it stands for, it would be an extreme about-face to change their rules to accommodate an enemy. So they can't back down in any way without shaming themselves.
 
2 kids got a hold of and were playing with a handgun.
They were disarmed safely and successfully.
Blacks on social media outraged they weren't actually shot.
--------
New Mexico police fire non-lethal rounds and successfully disarm two young boys who were holding a loaded handgun. The boys, 7 and 9, were seen pointing the gun toward police. The moment was caught on a drone which helped police carry out the operation. The boys were eventually disarmed and were not injured.
Completely anecdotal from some comments on news sites, but they say the mother has been on facebook denying any responsibility and blaming everyone else involved while making excuses for the two dipshits. Had that been me on video my mother and father would have beat my ass and I would have been grounded for months. If these anecdotes are true then it's no wonder those two have turned out the way they have with their mother claiming they dindu nuffin. This is your daily reminder that even white people can be niggers.
 
If Trump is serious about cutting off Israel... That's a pretty big deal. Trump is very pro Jew and has been for most of his life. I mean when I watch the apprentice, he's letting em back out of tasks to observe holiday's and getting offended at perceived racism.

The disrespect he received would have to be monumental. He's going to have a lot of problems going forward, but id be lying if I said I wasn't a bit glad. America is beholden to no one.

Because if they bought just 1 then they would have to reverse engineer it and figure out the tooling and processed needed to manufacture it. Instead they get American companies to set them up with the machinery and the process needed to manufacture whatever tech and just steal it.

He was raised and lived in the most Jewish part of the country, so it probably influenced what he thought about Jewish people. I think a lot of it has to do with multiple things over the years. Trump was willing to be friendly with Israel on the condition that Israel was willing to help back, whereas Bibi thought they were just getting aid and wouldn’t have to give anything in return. The big thing was Trump despite everything being done to try and get him into it he didn’t go to war with Iran in his first term and I think that’s why in revenge Bibi became the first world leader to recognize Joe’s fucky win in 2020, since he knew Joe would still support him even with the anti-Israel bloc of the democrats. Then there was the fact that Bibi to my knowledge didn’t help out Trump at all during all of the lawfare bullshit and to my knowledge but I could be wrong on this didn’t even give sympathy for him although he wasn’t in office at the time. Add in the fact that Trump decided to sideline Kushner this time, the gold beeper which was likely supposed to be a threat, and then the whole signal bullshit, yeah there was a lot of bullshit.

They were trying to use Walz and a few other cronies in the DoD to get the US pulled into a war with Iran. I'd be pissed too.
 
He's saying that if someone plans on shooting you in the face it's a valid proposition to consider shooting yourself in the face first, so that they can't shoot you in the face.

Because people who believe this shit have brain worms and are not rational actors.
You know that the feds have been cracking down on a specific category of porn on the internet for decades, and this didn't somehow create a nightmare regime, right?
 
If you're going to have firearms in a house with children, you need to teach them about respecting firearms. No ifs, ands, or buts.
It's a shame that those children had to go through all that, but I pin the blame squarely on the parents.
That video was infuriating. The number of times the kid is told to drop the gun and he doesn't made me start punching air.

You can see where the issue lies - the fact that that kid's father wasn't on the scene telling him, "You have 3 seconds to drop that gun or I will be stomping you into next week, son" shows where the problem is.

If that had been me, they would have had to taze my father to get him to stop beating me.

hes not

how are you guys thinking that trump ending the war with the houthi based on their promises means not supporting Israel? the US was very clear that the Houthi were being attacked as part of an anti piracy operation. internet midwit influencers thought US attacking houthi has something to do with defending israel and now these same midwits think that the US completing its anti piracy operation means that israel is being cucked.

the simple answer is that the piracy operation never had anything to do with israel and all these mouthbreather influencers who told you US was bombing yemen for israel were wrong

They were trying to use Walz and a few other cronies in the DoD to get the US pulled into a war with Iran. I'd be pissed too.
i still cannot find anything solid on that and if you want to punish someone for being subverted by another nation, appointing them to be the US ambassador to the UN is not the way to do it.

re: war with iran

think critically for a second. the same mouthbreather influencers that convinced you that US was bombing Israel for yemen also convinced you that Israel was trying for a war with iran. Bombing Iran doesnt equal a war. Maybe the influencers are lying to you again?

You know that system doesn't openly declare it will require a system of verification that by logical necessity must include photo ID to operate, right?
The bill would pave the way for the prosecution of obscene content disseminated across state lines or from foreign countries and open the door to federal restrictions or bans regarding online porn.
which would require pornographic websites to use age verification technologies to prevent children from being exposed to online porn.
Translation: you have to take a picture of your government ID to access a website.

Which much like 'fourteen days to flatten the curve' will very quickly spiral out into every website everywhere regardless of content on said site.

It'll be the death of pseudonymity/anonymity. To retards who think 'well they know who you are anyways!' is a valid counterargument, they at least have to put in the bare minimum effort to pretend you're worthy of a warrant to weaponize back-end information against you. With this, Shaniqua from the Bureau Of Internet Communications can see every website you've ever been to at a moment's notice without even the hint of the figleaf of 'due process'.
It's incredible that illiterates like yourself can, I assume, manage to operate webforums via text-to-speech alone.

Every single one of these bills has had buried within it the requirement for I.D. to access a website.
Which will be the foot in the door to require it for Internet access in general to 'protect the children'.
Which will absolutely include the forum you love to say racial slurs and post your spicy political takes on, you stupid fuck.

It's astounding how you people never want to talk about alternatives that have an equal opportunity to have an effect but don't involve making it easier than ever for the government to directly connect you to your online activities in a manner akin to how the CCP operates. You skip straight to blowing holes in your own feet.

Why not save us all a lot of time and admit you like lolicon?

I have to show photo ID to buy a beer, a car, a house, and to vote. How is this fundamentally different? Plus, "you go to prison if you obtain this" is a lot more draconian than "you need photo ID to obtain this."

Which will absolutely include the forum you love to say racial slurs and post your spicy political takes on, you stupid fuck.

Racial slurs and spicy political takes are covered by the First Amendment and always has been. Obscenity isn't and never has been.
