Pre-Columbian societies like the Aztecs and Incas were terrifyingly evil, prominently featuring human sacrifice. In the Inca empire, the form of sacrifice called “capacocha” primarily involved children and young women selected for their physical perfection and purity. A neoliberal of the sort that infests American schools has no problem with this:

To sum up, human sacrifice is fine because everybody does it. Inca human sacrifices upheld social justice because it killed members of the elite. It was kind, because the victims were left to freeze to death instead of having their beating hearts ripped out of their chests the way the Aztecs did it. If you disapprove of Inca human sacrifice, you have received a Caucasian education; i.e., you are a racist.
 
Which is why it was so dumb when Trump made it an issue all by himself.
Trump never really mentioned it a lot on his own, a lot of the times it was mentioned was when some hacky faggot asked him about it. I'm sure he might have mentioned it on the campaign trail, but it wasn't anywhere close to a central issue for anyone. Pam bondi absolutely stepped in shit, and drew a lot of attention to it, not surprising when you see how fuckign retarded that blonde skank is.


I do agree with you, Trump couldn't have handled this any worse, I don't see how anyone could have made a bigger blunder on this, and even if his hands are completely clean, it's giving his enemies some really easy shots on him. His supporters don't like it, but it's not as big a wedge as e-right grifter sphere is turnign it into.

What incredible benefits did these civilizations have? Sorry, my white education never cultured me on these incredible people and practices.
 
These are unhappy days for the corrupt neoliberals infesting the Swamp. Senator Adam Schiff (D-CA) is under criminal investigation for mortgage fraud:

The investigation comes a month after a story broke about the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) sending a criminal referral to the Department of Justice (DOJ) alleging that Schiff, in multiple instances, falsified bank documents and property records to acquire more favorable loan terms.

In a 2011 affidavit signed by the then California congressman, Schiff certified that a property in Montgomery County, Maryland, is his primary residence.

Schiff allegedly reaffirmed the suburban Swamp home as his primary residence in mortgage refinancing filings in 2009, 2011, 2012, and 2013.

Over the same time frame, Schiff took a homeowner’s tax exemption on a condo that he owns in Burbank, California, also claiming that home as his primary residence for a $7,000 reduction off of the 1% property tax, Pulte wrote, citing media reports.

Cheating to avoid taxes while favoring higher taxes on everyone else is standard Democrat protocol. Just ask Al Sharpton.

[Federal Housing Finance Agency Director William Pulte] believes Schiff’s alleged misconduct could be violations of federal criminal codes banning wire fraud, mail fraud, bank fraud and false statements to financial institutions.

In response to the charges, Schiff pursed his lips and popped his eyes. No wait, he always looks like that.

Schiff should be glad he doesn’t face charges for all the times he lied to the public regarding the Russia hoax.

Umm what? care to elaborate?
Refer to the post below and this article:
 
“SAAR DO NOT REDEEM THE 50% TARIFFS SAAR!”

More like: “THIS IS TIM COOK, GIVE ME THAT ORANGE RETARD ON THE HORN RIGHT NOW!!! THEY TOLD ME TO MOVE PRODUCTION WTF IS THIS SHIT?!?”

Consumers will surely also be delighted to pay more for their phones.

Either way, Trump will probably chicken out like he usually does when it comes to tariffs and India reciprocates.

See also: Brazil. And how they wrote in tariff exceptions for most of the stuff America imports, once one of the sane staffers got a hold of the file and Trump forgot about it.

Trump didn’t campaign on it 24/7 but what does it say that he brings in folks like Bondi and Borgino who did.

The more important point was also that his VOTERS cared about it, and saw Trump like this anti establishment figure who’d light shit up.

It was really surprising because Trump usually have a finger on the pulse to a far bigger extent than any other pol.

Trump from a year ago wouldn’t have done something that stupid, and double down by calling his voters retards whose votes he “didn’t need”.

He could have just said: “Well sleepy Joe had the justice department for four years, who knows what they did! But we’re looking into it!”

Instead he stepped right in the rake and launched something that’s still talked about. Even when Russia collusion is arguably a bigger and more important story.
 
Literally government by tantrum.
Please tell me how government by calm rational committee meetings has worked for the past 20 years.

I do think the handling up to this point has been bad, but if i'm understanding, basically every problem he faces with his handling of it thus far goes away if he releases the files and he isn't raping kids in them. Whether that happens this week or two years from now it turns all of the current claims into yet another lie the dems tried to paint him with, and proves that whatever he's holding off on is just some technical shit.
 
What's there to worry about? People are all fucked up over America looking out for America. The world will adjust and tomorrow will be another day.
That’s not how tariffs are supposed to be used though.

Countries, like India arguably, lose tariffs to give their domestic industries a leg up and help compete.

What Trump is doing, is using them the way a three year old uses a hammer when his toy doesn’t work the way he wants it to.

There are zero domestic manufacturing of cellphones, for example. And it won’t move to America just because of tariffs overnight.

Trump told Tim Apple personally to stop building in India. He wants American company foreign manufacturing back in America.

Will the European shithole that hosts you remove their tariffs on America that protect their domestic industries?

Well that's how he's using them. And who expects change overnight? If it takes a few years to spin up, at least by then it will be done.

For most things: Pretty shitty. For things like entire industries with timescales years long and tens of billions of dollars in investments, a helluva lot better than this.

Trump told him to move production to the US. The decision to move it to India was all Tim Cook's.

Before that champ. Apple started moving to China 2-3 years ago, encouraged by the USG.

Trump telling Cook to move production to America won’t happen overnight if ever. Slapping tariffs on India won’t change that, but will just make production move back to China with their lower tariffs.
 
WE ARE SO FUCKING CLOSE

CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR THE DAY OF THE FLUSH!!!
I never understood this about tariffs, cause like I get tariffs, I studied economics in college, but on a fundamental level it's just saying "if you want to trade with us there's an additional cost"

Why is the default response to this to become an aggressive moron? It's just going to make things worse

Okay so what you're saying is we should tariff them higher. Works for me. :smug:

Follow up, checked out her channel. According to here, the Incas lived in some socialist paradise where they actually cared for one another and made trades that benefitted everyone.



They also had a bunch of farming techniques that those white folk could never:



Her channel for those curious, she is a history teacher who mainly bitches about modern day and provides materials to study for AP History tests. https://www.tiktok.com/@toopoolforschool/video/7533417035678649630

Nope.

And they don’t do it by tariffs but largely through other means. Other means like government mandates and favorable subsidies.

None of which are touched by the trade agreement Trump made with Europe. Which Trump should have realized if he didn’t sperg on Twitter 24-7 and letting Lindsey Graham run foreign policy.

Those industries have moved overseas, supported rioters, embraced DEI, and fucked me in the ass more ways than I care to count. Things going smoothly results in: China growing, america jobs dissappearing, mass immigration happenning, rioters getting bailed out of jail, nonsense being taught in universities, and white people being fired for asking questions.

I don't like unpredictability but if i'm going to choose between predictably taking it up the ass and a wild card, i'll take the wild card.
