Import duties will have grave negative implications. It one step forward, and five steps backwards.

Trump intention is not that you pay higher for goods. Unfortunately, that is what will happen.

There is nothing wrong with deporting illegals, but don't throw caution to the wind when doing so. Have you heard the proverb, "Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater"? It means don't throw the good along with the bad. Trump is throwing out the baby first.

I won't say anything. When the shit starts to go down, you'll know what I am talking about.

Raise tarriffs , consumer prices increases.
How about his policies on reducing government wastage and Dept Of Govt Efficiency?
I see it as a give and a take. Tarriffs are leveraged at shutting down fentanyl plus other drugs, human trafficking, guns, crimes etc. Most importantly moving factories back home.
Another big policy is cutting down red tape and easing regulations that hamper business , policies from executive overreach.
It can be argued that with more duty revenue ,less wastage of govt funds the govt has more money to subsidize farmers and lower prices.... You get the drift?

America is the one place where startups can rise gazillions through venture capital funding. Which is what a business oriented leader would want to promote.

If you knew all this why did you support Trump?
His plan was to proclaim the inflation down.
With no actually policies. Except the disastrous tariffs. Which he didn’t even understand what they meant.

As a matter of fact he seemed like he didn’t even know the definition of word grocery with the way he was asking “groceries who even used that word”. Man had no clue what was talking about and y’all stood staunchly behind him.

Sigh. Don’t even bother

The question was for Raum.
I want to know what he thinks about your sudden acceptance of higher taxes.

I support Trump because I believe Obama is the worst leader of our modern times. Nearly everything he stands for I'm against.
Look at the chaos in Ukraine ( Maidan) and the Middle East mess.
Plus he is a race baiter per excellence.

cococandy:
Raumdueter what do you think of this statement from your guy here?

There are always two sides of a coin Noone has a magic wand to bring prices unless by elimination of taxes.
Import tarriffs raised can be used to strengthen the border for instance , resulting in more local manpower getting higher wages.
Prices don't come down through proclamations but through policies that reduce inflation, increase production, etc. And these are not instant results .

If you go to Britain you can never be British . Go to France you can never be French. Go to Germany you can never be German. Go to Spain,you will never be Spanish.You will just be a citizen in name whether people accept you are British, German ,Spanish or french They still see you as the African.

Be an American citizen and noone will think about your African roots. You are just another American.

..... In other words America is unique.

That reasoning attributable to Reagan

grandstar:
Someone is telling you the truth and you're displeased?

Trump is telling you that tariffs will not be paid by the American importer and you believe him? Haba!

Are you not a Nigerian? Is it not the importer that pays the tariff, the import duty?

We pay taxes hoping it will be for the common good. If paying a lil bit higher price will improve the quality of life, why not.wrt immigration and drug trafficking a lot of families have suffered Federal money is wasted on criminals, handouts to illegals and their jail upkeep.
Its not possible for govt to do everything without a small price to pay.

Where are 500,000 missing immigrants? New York mayor wants to know.

JUST IN: NY Mayor Eric Adams stuns a room full of liberal reporters with a blunt reality check about open borders and their link to sex trafficking.

“We have 500,000 children who had sponsors in this country that we can’t find. We can’t find them. We don’t know if they’re doing child labor. We don’t know if they’re doing sex crimes. We don’t know if they’re being exploited – 500,000 children. There’s a level of hypocrisy…”

Americans don't know that they've thrown themselves under the bus.

Lee Yuan Kew liken the policies of Mao's regime, "as an excess of hubris and theology." Those exact words are what best describes Trump and his policies.

Take his deportation policies.

He want to deport 15-20m "illegals" whether they contribute to the economy or not. About 9m are already working, many doing the jobs Americans snub like picking fruits, or cleaning. Economist have already said the deportations would lead to severe labor shortages.

The logistics of attaining such a humongous number is monstrous. As if that wasn't enough, he wants to de-naturalize many who already have citizens.

Take a look at his trade policies which rests on tariffs. The UK's economy today is in trouble today because it turned its back on free trade with the European Union where there are zero tariffs between member states.

The pain afflicted on Britain's economy due to its exit from the EU is only a fraction of would be inflicted if Donald Trump is enacts his plan to place 65% import duty on Chinese goods, and 25% on Canada, its 51st state, and Mexico.

He said Americans won't pay for the tariffs, that it is the exporter. Not only is this completely and totally idiotic, it shows that majority of Americans are economic illiterate.

These tariffs will boost inflation, and what would the Fed do when inflation increases? It increases interest rates high enough to kill inflation. This will increase the cost of servicing personal, corporate, mortgage and public debt and might tilt the economy into a recession.

Economists have predicted that the US economy might fall by up to 8% if Trump decides to go through fully with the deportations and the tariffs in his first year.

I have lost all confidence in the world economy. Trumps policies will not only take America down, but the world's.

A long keyboard analysis of why Trump is wrong. Speculations from an elitist point of view of why everything he has proposed will not work . No different from what I hear on main stream media.
Trump has some brilliant advisors and family too . The noise is to deter him from taking any action lest it don't produce desired results. In other words , deliberate sabotage
Trump will do this, if he does that this will happen yadayadayada.
If Trump increased r
tarriffs on China to cut off supporting Russia in the Ukraine war , would that be a good thing? America stops wasting money protecting foreign borders?

Fact is, uneducated black and white Americans were more likely not to use birth control (which was scarcely available at the time), and have more children whom they couldn't feed or educate, and which perpetuated poverty, but I guess that's far too complex for you to consider.

....When she expressed this to her then-school counselor, the counselor told her “that she was transgender and called her parents to tell them the same.”

Magnoliaa:
Yes, just like I've mentioned that it is only a fraction of men commiting the larger percentage of crimes. One violent, sexual pervert/suicide bomber/mass shooter can wreck a recoiling disaster.

A few trolls on NL have silenced or sent away many active women on here.

How do you ensure that women in vulnerable spaces like care homes, rape/homeless shelters, prisons, or anywhere that requires them to be naked are protected from any rando just waltzing in and getting catered to, just because he claims he's a woman?

Another point I made was also about the fact of -biology-. TWs would not be trans if they weren't (born) males. And I said all males, especially as strangers, pose a potential danger to most women (even if he's suppressing his T; especially when he has gone through puberty). This is not the same thing as saying that they are violent/dangerous in actuality. So I would not be less worried if a male-bodied person got close to my space in public, and smiled at me, all the while thinking himself a 'sis', just like me, in his head.

You may see it as a few violent transwomen, I see it as continuing male violence against women, but now under the protected status of "trans."


I do not dispute that women don't already face all forms of violence and discrimination from the general public, but 'self-IDing' will make it much more worse, because the regular perpetrators of such can do all claiming a marginalised status. And any crime against women will be treated on an individual basis, and not within the context of a structural issue.


And have you ever heard of the term "social contagion?"

The trans community might be a small percentage of people but the things they clamor for has implications for the larger percentage of people in society. The redefinition of languages and words and laws protecting sex-based rights. Medically transitioning children (treatments whose long-lasting effects have yet to be holistically documented), and even performing irreversible surgeries on some in some cases.

https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/usa-transyouth-data/

This link also shows you the spike in adolescents who identify as transgender. You can say the numbers are going up because there's an increasing level of societal acceptance for it, and a space for more people to explore their gender identities, but you will only be partly right. The numbers are increasing because there are kids who genuinely, erstwhile experienced dysphoria and are now coming out and there are kids being inundated with susceptible, subliminal messages of exploring their gender identities. It's a new 'cool'. Teenagers who should have grown up to be gays or lesbians now identify as the opposite sex... And then if a fully male-bodied person claims to be a woman, or to "feel like a female" on the inside, where does that leave people who are same-sex attracted? That is also the reason why homosexuality has now been redefined by them into "same-gender attraction." So two people with penìses in a relationship can call themselves lesbians, just because they identify as so, effectively reaffirming many misogynistic, straight men's belief that lesbians are just women who haven't "tasted" the right "dick."

Beyond the transwomen who commit extremely violent crimes, there are others who are casually misogynistic and assaulting to women.

See this post below. This is uncannily parallel to what men do to women. In all the time I've been on social media, I have never seen women going into the DMs of a man to harass and threatened him if he has 'jam-talked'. Everyone will drag him on their TLs and that's it. He's forgotten the next day. But whenever a woman goes viral for saying something wrong or posting a sexualized picture, men will take it beyond her comment section to her DMs.

And so so many more.



So this is decidedly a different issue. This is about gender dysphoria, and it's a real one that is consequential to the trans community. The point of women having the right to say no to anyone who isn't woman is another.


My initial point has been on the older trans-identified males who suddenly think they are of a different gender, sex, at 36 or 56 y/o.

You'd outrightly be called a bigot for stating that this man, this goliath right in the picture below is a man. Mind you, it happened in Nigeria o. At a women-only event. So that I'm talking about this is not me engaging in 'Afghanistanism' or whatever.

But to address the very personal story you've shared- and I don't want to trivialize it in any way: that they've done everything they 'could' is not necessarily a failure on their part or on therapy... it is just the nature of mental illnesses. People who have suicidal ideations, and have even attempted suicide, still go on to want to try it again. For a number of reasons, and it is dysphoria in this case. It's a correlation/causation thing. 'Transitioning' might help relieve some, while not so much for others.

But most pro-trans people are treating these procedures as an holy grail, hammering on affirmation as the only way to help.

And mind you, gender dysphoria is a medical condition... but the whole conversation about transgenderism has been phrased as a "it's just who I am" or "how I was born" thing, as people who are just different from others... like is it all trans people who have gender dysphoria? Can someone be trans without having a mental health issue (dysphoria) or have transitioned? If yes, then what is the basis for their trans-ness? Being trans cannot at the same time be a matter of nature or innateness and a medical condition. Like nobody treat cancer or alopecia as some innate identity that should be validated or anything like that.

If we want to talk about it as a medical condition, then maybe the prevailing conversation around it would have been different. There would also be no terms like "assigned male at birth." Pro-trans people would not be arguing about being born in the wrong body or that children as young as two can know they are trans.

And I noticed you mentioned sexuality. If this is about a gay kid who hates being one, I'm sorry but what those parents would be doing to him would be conversion therapy as transitioning. if you meant gender dysphoria...then okay. That's one issue with the movement too. Its proponents obscure language and update term at will that you're never able to keep up with exactly what they are talking about. Why does gender, which they claim is a social construct, needs to be "treated" through biological changes? If you've never lived as the opposite sex before, how do you ascertain that what you're feeling like is what it's like to be the opposite sex?

Wo, I have a lot to say on the matter and I feel like I've spoken too much. Let me just end here.

You can live as how want, but:

- Humans are a sexually dimorphic species
- A man is an adult human male, and a woman vice versa, and it is impossible for one to become the other.

These are black and white enough and it is not a question of subjective or psychology.

The agent estimates that up to half a mile per day of unused border wall is being moved.

“They are taking it from three stations: Nogales, Tucson, and Three Points,” the border patrol agent, who was granted anonymity to speak freely, told The Daily Wire. “The goal is to move all of it off the border before Christmas.”

You seem to be unpurposefully or purposefully conflating multiple things.
If I jump off a 20 story building, the consequence is I will die.
What is the consequence to me or society if I choose to say I am a woman?

And honestly, I feel some of these arguments were used back in the days to justify racism and sexism. Especially the ordered and stabled society argument.



Let me delineate the argument again for you.
I believe there are primarily two sexes.
I do not believe in preferred pronouns and don't believe anyone should be forced into using them.
I don't care what you call yourself or how you live your in your personal life. Dress up as a cow for all I care.
I care only in so far it affects me, forces me into using prefered pronouns, etc.
I think that's part of the liberty the US was founded on.

I feel you are making me defend Trans and I'm not a proponent. I just think we have to be careful in dictating how people choose to live their lives.

One can be anything. Don't force the society to change to accommodate your deficiencies. .Female prisoners sharing showers with a man is OK.

INJUSTICE: Female Inmates at Minnesota Prison Forced to Shower, Live With Violent 'Trans' Woman
A trans-identified male serving a life sentence for murder who was quietly transferred in to a women’s prison is now sharing a shower with female inmates, causing them to feel 'violated.' Bradley Richard Sirvio, 53, was transferred into Minnesota women’s prison MCF-Shakopee at the end of last year after claiming to identify as transgender and adopting the name 'Aurora.'

There will be a reckoning moment
Andrew McCabe a current CNN analyst grift job was spying on Kash Patel and other Congressional staffers.
Kash Patel led Devin Nunes investigation into Russia collusion hoax He co-authored a report that was blocked by FBI. In the last days of his presidency Trump declassified this particular binder but FBI stonewalled it The instructions ere to make it public days after he left office. Presumably it has details of the dirty players in the hoax... Comey, Mueller,Rosenstein, McCabe, Sally Yates, McCord, Bruce Ohr, Clapper, Brennan, Steve Halper, Fusion GPS, Hillary Clinton etc . A copy of this binder went missing , the FBI was desperate to get it back. Because of national security my ass.
Now you can understand why the Mar a Lago raid had to take place.
Also why the RINOs and democrats don't want Kash Patel as head of FBI

Kash Patel as head of FBI which spied on him previously. It's a foregone conclusion now that he will get the post, Chris Wray is set to resign before Jan 29.
