I don't see why a loyal CCP enjoyer wouldn't be thrilled. This is when China swoops in, becomes sole reserve currency owner, and leads a worldwide embargo of America. After two weeks without GPUs and Funko Pops, the American people will overthrow Orange Man and agree to be ruled by Socialism with Chinese Characteristics, creating world peace and heaven on earth shortly afterwards.
The amount of lib and lefty takes I’ve read that are more or less what you wrote without irony is incredible.
 
cheer when the leading benchmark for the state of the US economy (the stock market) dumps
Nigga, what? The stock market has been fake and gay since 2008, at least.

Time for me to use my car AUTISM

Trump has been talking about this shit for over a decade. I came across this video trying to track down the first time he started talking about tariffs, but it was absolute potato quality, and the sound was fucked, I upscaled, made it work on modern monitors and fixed it as best I could.
He cusses like a sailor in it, and after his 8 or so minute Obama rant which actually has a purpose, it's a side of trump most people have never seen.
I HIGHLY recommend this one.
Its a 2GB 34 Minute video so I guess we are going with Youtube, sorry. It was in such bad shape that I didn't risk compressing it further.

When Trump started to move into politics, my initial reaction was "Who the fuck is this New York asshole? Some fucking reality show star?" When he first started to espouse his populist positions, I was suspicious. I honestly thought it was nothing more than a cynical power play to further enrich himself.

However, this video and the letter from the mid 1980s that @quaawaa linked earlier, are quite illuminating to me. Trump's positions have been consistent for decades: America is being taken advantage of to her detriment. We have global military might, which we use to protect other countries, but then those other countries take advantage of us economically. Amercia's manufacturing base has been hollowed out, leaving more and more people unable to get jobs, and making it harder to get quality, useful products. "Environmental" protections have been perverted from something that protects the natural environment to something designed to prevent businesses from being profitable.

As I've watched Trump with fascination over the past decade, it has become clear to me: he genuinely believes that. When you consider what he did before he moved into politics, it makes a certain kind of sense. He's a business man. Negotiations and dealings are what he does. And for the past 40 years, he has watched the US continue to get screwed by bad deals.

It'd be better if they were more fun and creative with the baiting but this is reddit were talking about. This is why I prefer bait locally grown here on the farms like HHH.
Locally sourced bait is better for the economy and environment, too. We provide our local autists with jobs, and we don't have to deal with all the toxic emissions generated by transporting foreign bait here.

Anyone who blames anything on boomers, or uses the word boomer in any context, is a fat, ugly, loner with no friends or life or concept of time or basic intelligence to do anything but mash keys and reee.
Kill yourselves, you useless, dumb fucks.

I'm not a 'boomer'. Fucking faggot word used by faggots.

Continuing, OMG, O'Keef confronts James Welch on camera. James Welch denies he was deceitful and maintains the position that changing "race" to "ancestry" without any matter of scientific accuracy is okay.

As a fun aside, I believe this is the same thing the woke did in the newer versions of Dungeons and Dragons, because calling someone a Half-Orc was racist or something. I imagine it was for the same reasoning, too -- "We still need to refer to this concept but we're getting flack for using this word. Lets pick another one."

Remember Post-Modernism should be rooted out of the universities with a Boring brand flamethrower.

Except youtube (normal site, not the youtu.be shortener) links! In a youtube link, you need the "?v=[videoID]" param. For those, remove anything after a "&" instead, otherwise you will just be dropping straight links to https://www.youtube.com

Edit: while I'm giving web tips, remember to use the verb "google" in conjunction with other search engines every chance you get so that the brand gets kleenexed and Neil Mohan's evil overlords eat shit.

on one hand its rich for quartering to say that while running a business on luxuries imported from other countries, but on the other deorio wasnt even in tune enough with the changing tide to realize no one gives a fuck about "misgendering" keffals during dropkf beyond institutions and astroturfed gatekeepers. i dont know how the fat spic spends his whole life online and thinks "ah i know what the average voter wants" he says to about a fifth of the engagement as quarterings tweet

edit: its also insane to me that we see our country become dependent either on foreign slave labor we dont control, or imported slave labor that brings crime and cultural disunity and general misery and decline in quality of life and safety, and people will instead demand trump not take the necessary steps to fix that because we might not be able to buy ipads and shit as easily in the interim.
 
Fat retard who buys pinball machines says that we need to sell the American future to China for happy feel good bing bung whaooo. Clearly this individual is smart and took into account the complex nature of these tariffs and Isn’t just repeating what every stock nigger stooge talking point.

Like what others say- all the burdens of Empire without any of the benefits.
 
Behold the duality of the foreigner: Americans are unbelievably stupid, voraciously consoom, and corpulently fat far above and beyond any other country in the world, yet this uniquely American endless appetite for consumption is easily replaceable. A curious and most queer doublethink.

Edit: typos.
They see Americans as retarded piggy banks and soldiers solely to be used against their enemies.

‘Every econimist says Tariffs don’t work’

Then why does every country use them and why are leaders saying they’ll lower theirs so that Trump pulls back?
It’s because every economist unironically needs America to continue to sell its future to other countries so line go up. These people have built an entire machine based on the idea that America is the final consumer of the world and that our infinite money will cause line to go up forever. These people don’t understand the concept of a finite amount of growth or real gdp vs false gdp.
 
Humanity has superior intellect, opposable thumbs and weaponry.
Big penguin ain’t gonna do shit when I blow its head off with my 6.5 Sneedmoor AR or blast it to smithereens with my pump shot.
I question your superior intellect if you're running 6.5 Creedmoor on the AR platform instead of a bolt action platform.

There is a MASSIVE need, particularity in specialized, domestic light/medium manufacturing, for people who can accurately observe, analyze and execute.
I am starting to notice this too, and its implications are frankly, fucking terrifying.

I just watched a recent clip of Kamala making some stupid speech, claiming how awful Trump is and how scary things are right now.

You know, if things were as truly "serious" as she claims, then she wouldn't be laughing about it like a dingbat.

She also said "courage is contagious." No, Kamala, that's your STD.
Good to have you back, @StarkRavingMad. The thread has been slightly less fun in your absence.

You are right. I should have been more specific. Specifically, with Twitter X links, remove the ? and everything after it. That's also true for most sites, but in some cases, one or more of the parameters after the ? is necessary, like with Youtube, and the "?v=[videoID]" parameter.

And why do idiots always go ‘without the illegals who will do the jobs?’
Tarriffs only harm the country imposing them!!

That's why... uh... all those countries already had higher tarriffs than what Trump plans to impose, and have threatened increased, reciprocal tarriffs in response....

Because they're so damaging!!
