Shortages? Importers going out of business? Domestic manufacturers dependent on foreign-made equipment and supplies curtailing growth?

Do we think any of this will penetrate the bovine consciousness of the "American voter"? We've been assured that all those folks are much too wrapped up in their own lives to notice 'politics'. If and when they ever do see that something is amiss, not only will we be deep into the morass, but the blame on Trump will be well-established. And that's all they care about, really.

I've had it with TACO shooting off his mouth blaming Joe Biden for everything. Joe Biden had a VERY distinguished career in Congress, the Vice Presidency and the Presidency. His age finally caught up with him and he "blew" one single debate - NONE of which deserves the badmouthing our demented current President has given him. During Biden's Presidency he accomplished much much more that TACO could ever dream of. and I, for one, will be eternally grateful for his accomplishments and his grace. He deserves MUCH more praise than our current demented TACO will ever achieve.

The average American gripes about the cost of food, rent, etc., but does not know why this is happening. They are so used to listening to TACO lies, they can't believe (or refuse) that the higher costs are derived from TACO tarrifs and they ain't going away - at least until the mid-term elections.

Technological Nazi Attack on Gerrymandering and Voting

Marc Elias’ interview with Trey Martiinez sheds light on gerrymandering 2.0 21st century style Nobody in the Texas legislature knows where the new maps were concocted and that’s because the new map comes from the RNC computers that are so sophisticated that the old idea of gerrymandering doesn’t hold a candle to the demographic precision that the Nazis are presently using

With that context then Peter Theil’s Palantir platform appears to be a big player in the scheme of “rigging” elections particularly now that the DOJ is demanding state voter rolls There is only one conclusion that can be made after the 2024 election The Nazis are in the process of “rigging” elections so that there will never be an American free and fair election again

This should send a clear message to WE the People We have to organize like WE have never done before to thwart this authoritarian takeover Protest Protest Protest and form coalitions with neighbors friends relatives family Join Indivisible.org and make your voice heard in order to organize the resistance movement Aug13 join One Million Rising put together by Indivisible to help organize the movement Once coalitions are formed then WE the People can begin to boycott companies and governments across the country to demand that oligarchs/authoritarians do not run this country

All because Dull Donnie can't get it through his thick, dementing head that tariffs are TAXES paid by US CONSUMERS. It's not free money other countries give to us. Good f'ing grief!!

I doubt he doesn't comprehend it, it's just that it's irrelevant. To him, reality is to be bent to his will. To him, the actual economic effects of what he does don't matter, but rather the spin he can put on it to claim 'victory' and repeat that claim 300 times until his idiot followers start mouthing along.
