Charging "those that make money off us with trade..."? So, like the people that are PAYING US for the goods we are selling at the rates any given market dictates?

Duties are already collected and paid by the freight brokers that bill importers. Those costs get passed right on down the line to the end user. So, the department of redundancy is already failing again.

But it won’t be a tax, it will be a non-tax upward price adjustment that tax deductions can’t erase.  So much better. 

And Mexico will pay for it!!!

I’m kind of okay with this. If you’re stupid enough to trust medical advice from these two dum-dums, I’d rather we not waste valuable resources trying to save you.

But part of me wants to slap him and remind him what happened to him when he was little tech: big tech gave away its competing product, which it used its deep pockets generated from other business to improve until its product was better than his product, and used its network of clients and suppliers to make its product the default on end-users' computers. Little tech's biggest threat isn't government . It's big tech.

 

Sooo true and bigtech, mostly Google, has weakened our patent system in ways that favor big tech over little tech.

Would love to see the DOJ sue Abbott for not following federal law regarding flag etiquette. And take the case the trumpiest federal judge in Texas who will tell Abbott to follow federal law.

I kind of doubt anything will be done concerning the disrespect to the office of President and to the flag, because dystopian non-fiction is the shittiest of genres.

I just scrolled through the top 10 on Netflix and it makes perfect sense that American’s re-elected Trump. The average American is a fat, fucking potato brain that watches hours of the most mind numbing shit every day. 

Tik tok/instagram/youtube/facebook are even worse. 

I'd love to know the percentage of Americans who haven't read a single book in the last ten years. I'd bet willing to bet it's shockingly high.

Yeah, um, I don’t think that’s the right connotation for that pic. They’re not baited and hooked. They’re eager to swallow a load. They’re whores, not fish. 

I was just humoring my notions of what should become of such persons not trying to go metaphorical, though I see how you took it that way.

Nope. It'd just amuse me to see them thus captured and hanging with the doomed fish. Billionaire marauders bring that out in me. I once lived in a republic that scorned robber barons rather than exalted them.

I guess I’m a little more cynical than you are because I don’t think they’re going to suffer at all. I think they’ll be licking the jizz off each other.

I don't think they're going to suffer, either. I must be particularly opaque today.

Maybe it’s your use of words like “captured” and “doomed” which sound to me like wishful thinking. They’re neither of those things. They’re winning. They’re debasing themselves and it’s shameful. But it’s going to work.

Here’s another take:

She's doing her damnedest to join MTG and Bobo on the Evil Axis of dipshit GQP Representatives isn't she? Before recently, I didn't she was as stupid as those two but maybe this requires re-examination.

She's not nearly as stupid as Bobo or MTG, but she's been out crazying the shit out of both of them for the better part of a year.  At the levels these 3 women (and of course many of the men) are at, crazy vs stupid becomes a distinction without much difference.

If you're referring to Nancy's alleged injury by a "pro trans man", it was very much in the news.  He shook her hand "aggressively", causing great pain and injury.

She wasn’t necessarily calling her a literal child. It’s slang. Like bless your heart. When someone says that, they aren’t literally blessing your heart with the sign of the cross or something

Well thank you for that lesson in Southern Speak.  Of course it was slang, but come the fuck on.  It was meant to belittle and antagonize  and it worked.  Don't directly refer to fellow congresspeople as child, buddy, boy, girl, and pal.  Surely we can acknowledge that without forfeiting the right to ridicule Nancy's gloriously over the top, non-proportional response.

Oh, the horror.  A firm handshake injured her and she's in PT because of it?

I've said this before and I'll say it again.  Nancy Mace is my kryptonite.  (Maybe @Brisketexan's, too.)  Mid 40's, brunette, attractive, big tits, good job, good in the sack, etc.  I'd marry her in six months only to find out she's bat shit crazy.  She'd completely ruin my life.

Saying child (chile) does not connote belittlement or antagonism, in and of itself.  
 

as to Congresscritters speaking to each other, your opinion differs from mine. I think that holding to the anachronistic language of the past when recognizing them is dumb and should be revised to modern vernacular.

Oh bless your heart.  Why are you talking about the general neutrality of a word when we happen to know the the exact context in which It was used here. In this case, it was meant antagonize and diminish.  Just like my use of the otherwise innocuous "bless your heart" was meant to trigger an emotional response from you (it worked, didn't it). I apologize. it was only meant to further my point.

As for the whether formal settings like Congress and Court should accept new vernacular as a substitute for more formal language, we just disagree- that's cool. 

And with that I yield the rest of my time to the dude from D-town.

Oh, I don't know, "Somebody’s campaign coffers are struggling right now so she’s going to keep saying trans trans trans.. Child listen" is pretty fucking direct"

Whatever, Mace is Crazy, and Trump's America will spawn more and more of this.

Carry on.

Where has being nice and following norms/decorum gotten the Democrats and the people they represent? 

I don't want to straight up emulate Republicans obviously, but something has to change, and if part of that is Nancy Mace getting called a child when she acts like one, I'm okay with it

Don't call me a child!!!!!11111

Not clutching pearls, not losing sleep, and I said nothing of the tone, just context.  The tone was brilliant.  The Trans, trans, trans shot was brilliant. She could have called her "the gentlewoman from South Carolina" while dripping just as much contempt in her para-language as she did saying child.

Jared Moskowitz is a master at playing dirty while looking nice.

Jesus, I posted the damn clip to make fun of Nancy, with the tiniest of qualifiers regarding Crockett.

Focus.

I've began to wonder why vaccines have become a focus and why not chemo? 

It's obvious to me that all the nausea and vomiting associated with chemo is just your body trying to expel the Bill Gates microchips they are planting in your body.  Ban all cancer treatment!!!
