  1. Yep. Especially as there is nothing Congress loves better than ceding its authority to the President. Less responsibility for them to burden their brains with.
  2. The strategy I think is just to do it and worry about Congress later. But I suspect all of this will be rubber stamped later. But we will see, the Republicans do only have tiny majorities.
  3. Well they will probably look around to find other sources of cotton...you know for Canada's giant clothing manufacturing sector. I suspect we export our cotton to some other country which makes clothes and then ships it to Canada. So I think they will be fine. I am glad Abbott has enough sense to show his loyalty to the Great Leader by talking shit to Canada and not the place we actually depend on trading with.
  4. Trump swooping into save us from his own trade agreement is pretty on brand.
  5. I honestly have no idea what a "DEI Contract" is or whether that money was wasted in fact. Or if not wasted what DEI means in that context. I mean those are probably not hiring programs. However with Musk saying things like this: Source: https://www.yahoo.com/news/musk-brands-usaid-criminal-civil-234518173.html I don't know if I fully trust his judgement here. USAID is out there giving money to China to make Covid-19? What are we talking about here. I doubt China got much USAID money anyway. And hundreds of millions of dollars of USAID money are being called "DEI" whatever that means in this context. And he has only been doing this for a few weeks, what he went in and did a full audit of USAID in that short time?
  6. Well one billion down I guess. What do the two columns represent?
  7. Look Mavs I don't care if you self-destruct but can you not send great players to the fucking Lakers? So many other teams to fire sale to.
  8. JT and the Liberal Party should be thanking Trump. This is great for them politically as they were dead in the water. The Conservatives and Poilievre are going to be big political losers if this goes on. But really everyone is going to lose if these remain in place for awhile, especially in the short term. But we'll see. In the past Trump has usually retreated when his more stupid ideas got push back. If his supporters start complaining he might think better of it.
  9. I don't understand your point really. You say that the US and Canada had been involved in a trade war over lumber for decades, and indeed that is true I have had several run ins with Canadians online and we have discussed this. But then say Biden disrupted this in some way. Ok maybe having a trade war over lumber is a bad idea and Biden continuing this decades old trade was a bad policy but it clearly wasn't disruptive as you point out: it had been going on for decades. But having a trade war over one particular product and just generally having a trade war over everything are very different. I guess I don't understand why my fe fes would be hurt by you bringing this up, or what this has to do with the current situation. Do you think because we have this lumber situation it makes sense to have it about every product with our biggest trading partner? People are calling you an idiot because your post is incoherent and makes no sense, not that their fe fes were hurt. Also just because Biden did something doesn't necessarily mean I think it's great.
  10. Elon Musk did say that we would suffer economically temporarily in...building whatever it is they are building. That was during the campaign.
  11. Rather ashamed to say I think they showed it the proper amount of respect under the circumstances.
  12. The dumbest trade war in history...so far.
  13. When you are going to war with Canadians you have to stop a second and reflect on your life choices. Anyway I would rather he call out them than Mexico.
  14. Heh. Yeah because DEI was such a big thing in state agencies. Very performative.
  15. We could also, you know, raise government revenue as well. Typically successful austerity measures involve both spending cuts and tax increases. That is how we were able to achieve what we did in the 1990s for example.
  16. Fucker cannot even give us the weekend off.
  17. Washington won the Super Bowl with Theisman, Doug Williams, and Mark Rypien. None are, or will ever be, in the Hall of Fame. Just saying.
  18. I generally have a "trust but verify" attitude when it comes to these kinds of accusations. But when you start getting this level of volume it is really bad. Goddamnit Justin. You were the chosen one. The slayer if Aggies.
  19. Winter is my favorite season in the suburbs for that reason.
  20. Planning to pay off a couple mortgages this year. Had a couple rough months but I am still on track.
  21. Did you vote for Trump? Than you did. He has been going on and on about tariffs for a decade.
  22. So is Abbott and the Texas government just going to sit by while this dude puts a 25% tariff on Texas' biggest trading partner? If they do nothing we know they don't work for us. The legislature is meeting so at least somebody in Austin might mention it.
  23. Patriot fans still mad at his uncle? Fans of other schools?
