Mocking me by getting laughed at for pretending he lives in the US? Lol. Are you high?
You should google mocking. It's odd, as you should know what it means, as you are widely and routinely mocked on this site as a nut.

Bemeruca is mocking himself and everyone like you who bought and still tries to defend his lie that he lives in the US.
Who was he mocking when he posted the pictures of Canada below and had you thinking he was in the US when you replied "have a Good time there. How envious and jealous he must feel. Throwin some photos too."
Did he even privately give you a heads up before making you look like a gullible fool?
How you live with yourself surprises me. You are a true NPC.. Once your mind is fixed , you cannot change it no matter how ridiculous youll sound off here.
You look really stupid defending some indefensible matters .

[quote author=bemeruca post=131936656]Climate change or global warming was supposed to cause historic hurricane events, as predicted. Now they are asking, where are all the hurricanes? Our cities are supposed to be flooded. Their answer is that the severe events we predicted due to climate change did not happen because of climate change.

Anyone with a scintilla of brain would ask why people like Obama are buying beach houses as they scream about rising oceans

. I've always called the climate change a hoax. It's really a religion , some people really believe in it.
4 days ago there was this NPR article about a new breed of chaplains.
. eco chaplains to help people deal with climate grief. Absurdity taken to the extreme.

Gal Hirsch, the Israeli hostage coordinator, told CNN, “If all 101 abductees are in our hands along with the complete demilitarization of Gaza, I believe we will agree to allow the deportation of Sinwar and whoever he wants to join him to another destination."
I repeat..IDF should not leave until every last millimeter of the Gaza tunnels are destroyed. In the process very few buildings will be left standing above ground once you destroy the foundation under which miles of tunnels run below.
Win win. The globalists get huge monies to rebuild Gaza with IDF supervising to make sure no tunnels are dug out during this process. Another 20 plus years of peace guaranteed from Palestinians aka Hamas in Gaza.

SpaceX doesn't know what a poll is.
It's not a poll. Nate Silver basically saying his model shows Trump has a 61% chance of winning over Harris's 39% chance of winning.
You have to trust his modelling. Which hasn't been always accurate.
You waste money on NYT subscription. Their poll with Emerson shows Trump in a tight race. And that's a poll that oversamples democrats

As the debate looms, a new poll released on Sunday showed Mr. Trump and Ms. Harris entering the campaign’s homestretch in a tight race. Mr. Trump is retaining his support and Ms. Harris faces a sizable share of voters who still say they need to know more about her, according to a national poll of likely voters by The New York Times and Siena College.

LordAdam16:
To be clear, this is not a poll.
This is a model forecast of the candidates' probability of winning.

There is a certain id**t on this board who has refused to share this since Trump reemerged as a favorite over the past week.

Trump just has to have an average, decent performance tomorrow and he's the next POTUS.
Forget about whatever Kamala does. Just tie her to the Biden-Harris administration failures and tie her "my values have not changed" quip to her historical far-left positions.
Trump is a wildcard so he could trip up. If Cruz, Rubio, Vivek, Vance, or Tulsi was on the stage tomorrow, I'd already be popping champagne.

I specifically favored Biden leaving the race for this reason. It was either Harris or a rough emergency nominee selection process. The latter is a non-starter. Harris ALWAYS starts strong and finishes badly; which syncs perfectly for Trump who always has strong closes.
If Biden had stayed in, the negative media coverage will cease and he'll recover in the polls. He may even decide to resign and Harris will be sworn in as the next POTUS in October. Then she'll just ride the wave into a comfortable election win. Think August on steroids.
Biden can still resign and have Harris be sworn in, but the effect will be muted. Compared to what it'd have been had he stayed in and then resigned after early voting had started.

Now we have all of September and possibly October to bury Harris.
It all started with the RFK endorsement.
Trump should drive another nail in tomorrow.

-Lord
Kash Patel raised that option of Biden resigning to give Kamala a boost of confidence. But Biden needs to pardon Hunter who faces 17 years in gaol after his guilty plea . Kamala must promise to pardon him and his whole family of leechers.

Like 2020,Alaye will not accept Election Defeat and might still call for violence.
'baselessly" is a term that will be repeated endlessly.
Does Trump have a basis the democrats wat to steal?
They were suing to get him off the ballots. Remember Colorado supreme court got him off but SCOTUS unanimously overturned those leftie judges? They wanted RFK Jr off the ballots , but now want him back in states where he might chomp on Trump votes. They want no voter ID.
Have illegals been registered to vote?
They want him jailed, they already convicted him.
That's a basis of electoral theft. Why can't they have single day elections, paper ballots, indelible ink, no voting machines, results out on election night?

Kind advice. The term baseless is a talking point the media is using to hoodwink it's low IQ consumers.

There you go
Take a walk to CNN headquarters and let them know they are lying. Heritage foundation is a policy think tank. They churn out policies.
It has hundreds of employees (569) , some of them who used to work in the Trump admin.
They came up with their wish list.

This is Trump's official agenda on his website.
https://www.donaldjtrump.com/agenda47


Of course both heritage and Trump are conservatives ( Read that to mean they want to maintain values that have largely worked for eons ) as opposed to radical progressives who want to completely uppend the current order into something else . They are bound to have common ground points.

For the umpteenth time, project2025 has nothing to do with Trump.

A community of 60,000 suddenly got an influx of 20,000 Haitians. Their pets are now in jeopardy because the Haitians are eating their cats, sheep, dogs, ducks and geese.

A new report claims that Haitian immigrants are eating residents’ pets and wildlife in Springfield, Ohio, leading residents to warn each other to protect their pets.

“Springfield Ohio residents are warning their pets and wildlife like ducks and geese are being eaten by Haitians,” The Calvin Coolidge Project wrote in a post on X, formerly Twitter. “One neighbor said she saw her cat being carved up by the Haitians. Another neighbor said a police officer told her this is happening to dogs, ducks and geese.”

Lies. They have moved far left Kamala is the most liberal senator ever. Her policies are a stepping stone to communism.

As for debate Kamala is the one who wants to change the rules as agreed to in the first debate . She is prepping for debate, Joe has been on vacation. Who is running the country? You guess is as good as mine She is a front, the real welders of power are behind the scenes pushing the media narrative. They have recreated her , from one of the most unpopular candidate to the best there ever was. All without her answering a single question. Joe wasn't to step down because he knew Kamala Harris will not hack it. The deep state knew Joe would lose Obama wanted the DNC convention to pick the candidate. They made Joe humiliate himself and got rid of him. But Joe endorsed her forcing all of the players to go along with her.

Hamas is not a reaction. Before hamas the PLO existed. They caused a lot of havoc in the Middle East including multiple assassination attempts on the king of Jordan, They colluded and supported Sadam in his invasion of Kuwait. we all knew the US kicked the Iraqis out of Kuwait. at the end of that war, Kuwait expelled thousands of Palestinian refugees in the country. They went to Lebanon when they were expelled from Jordan with the help of Pakistan (killing more than 25k Palestinians) it's called black September. Guess what happened in Lebanon when they took them in; Civil war. again, just as they did in Jordan, they formed a state within a state. Lebanon is shit today and Palestinians are one of the reasons.

Hamas is not a reaction, Hamas is a continuation of their desire to exterminate Israel right from the day the nation was created. Others gave up that ambition and embraced peace except for the Palestinians and their devil Iran
Very correct. Fatah Abbas has not held elections at the West Bank because Hamas will win hands down. Palestinians prefer Hamas to Fatah.
Hamas won Gaza elections in 2006 and then forcefully routed out Abbas faction.
The smug West thinks Abbas is a partner in peace, he is not. His aim is to bleed concessions from Israel until they eradicate the Jews either by genocide or right of return where Arabs who are descendants of those who fled 1948 war are allowed to return to Israel and become the majority.

Basilico on Economic Policy. Dumb Fucking Hilarious.
An import tariff on the ~3.5 trillion of imports replacing 2 trillion in yearly Income Taxes?
That would mean the import tariff would be around ~60-70% to generate the same revenue as Income taxes.
That ~60-70% tariff would substantially increase the price of all goods as tariffs generally get passed on to the consumer.
That increase would therefore reduce demand and so less imported goods would be purchased. Thereby decreasing the revenue generated.
It would also be terribly regressive. Affecting poorer people (aka Trump's base) more than richer people.
And that is just the beginning of the problems.

You seem to know less than Trump about Economic policy, who doesn't know much about Economic policy.

Note: (the imports and income tax numbers are rough estimates)
That was a loud thought from him.
Not from me

Transcript of JD Vance CNN interview hosted by Dana Bash earlier last month. She was pretty hostile but he held his ground.
JD Vance had visited the war zone, a venue where democrats are swooned over and asked softball questions . The propagandists won't ask Kamala any question that will put her in bad light but when it comes to republican, they pass them through the wringer.
Shame on them. These media people are partly to blame for some of the crappy arguments brought here by the leftists.



VANCE: But the point is, Dana, you've got me for 15 minutes or however long you have me. We should be talking about public policies that matter. How are we going to lower inflation? How are we going to reduce the cost of food and housing? How are we going to close down that southern border?

We've talked so little about that. We've talked a lot more about a sarcastic remark I made three years ago. I think we should talk about the issues that most Americans care about..............

.........
We believe in talking to the media. We believe in answering questions. We believe in debating. I think it's really important. I mean, look, I'm asking the American people to make me their vice president. It's really important to stand before the American people to make that case.

ObaIgwe1:
You are not getting the full picture. Let me break it down for you as simple as I can.

Raising import tariffs is a 2 edged sword and not something you just do with a temperament of someone like Trump, else you will only hurt the people, because the extra tariff will be added to the price of the product and Americans instead of China will be paying more.

Raising tariffs is only effective when you are trying to discourage imports of certain products AFTER you have empowered your local manufacturers to meet ALL available demands of those products. And where this is successful, imports will drop and consequently Government will make nothing or less from those tariffs.

The problem with Trump proposal is that he is talking about raising tariffs and not saying anything about improving local manufacturers. Also he is budgeting on the high income that will come from the high tariffs, those were the figures he was talking about when talking about meeting child care costs (even though he missed the core of the question on child care).

Bottom line is that you cannot expect your local productions to grow and still expect great income from high tariffs. It's one or the other. If he gets the income he is expecting from those tariffs, American will be paying it and not China. And this will also increase inflation he wishes to bring down.

Hope you get it now, else forget about it.
As usual those are theories peddled by your sources.
Revenues went up after he cut taxes against nayseyers advice, like what you are now peddling .
On this one I am sure he won't do it haphazardly like Joe Biden hastily despite warnings deliberately gifting Taliban $80 billions of war equipment, millions of $$$ in cash.

Kamala. No press interview,no media questions unless they are from trusted propagandists. She was shuffling papers during a radio interview. Zero policy position yet on her website. She was holding a phone very close to her ears while she had headphones on to avoid questions from the press,she don't know headphones disconnect the speakerphone automatically?
She has a 50% chance of being incharge of a $6 trillion budget and thousands of nuclear bombs. Leader of the free world who can't take questions. Who shifts position but her values have not changed.

Well he is going to prison by the way not the oval office so why argue shit.

My God! You people are dumb dumb dumb.
Let me educate you a little. In the past America was fairly self sufficient in matters domestic production. In came the MBA smart asses and the global movement towards free trade. Corporations shipped jobs overseas, they made super normal profits, wages went up . Bill Clinton was largely successful as a president because he enabled China join WTO as a developing nation, today China enjoys lower tariffs as a result of it's developing nation status yet it's the world's largest manufacturing factory with fully developed supply chain .

If you apply import taxes Depending on the level, investors will invest at home.
Too bad for developing economies , For instance I go to Ethiopia where they used to have Export Processing Zones doing mostly textiles that you buy at Walmart and other stores. There is not much technology transfer here, only rows md rows of sewing machines churning out jeans and other apparels. After the US govt terminated the AGOA preferences act , some of those factories lie idle.

Trump is looking inwards, which every selfish person would do.

The democrats problem is heavy unneeded spending while not growing manufacturing and consequently increasing national debt.

It's pointless trying to reason with you. If you can't see what Trump is going to do in that post up there, then you sure are a lost cause. I cannot help you point that out. Sorry!
Trump said he will impose tariffs on imports. I believe he is also toying with the idea of doing away with income tax and replace that with an import tax.
The earnings from import taxes and tariffs will be more than enough to reduce the deficits and cover the budget. At the founding for very many years the federal revenue was from import tariffs , excuse duties , poll taxes etc . Income tax was fully established . In 1913 long after the aeroplane had been invented.
That's not rocket science, but the media's job is not to interpret with an open mind what he means. Their job is to pour cold water on his every initiative and never acknowledge any good he has ever done.
That's where Ijebos comes in , joining the choir.
If and when the debate happens you can be sure the moderators will let Trump spell out his economic policies, then they will add a negative spin like what Goldman Sachs said about the economy, close the topic and move on to the next question totally unrelated to the economy.

So Obama was behind Joe Biden threat to withhold 1Billion of aid to Ukraine if the prosecutor was not fired.
Trump got impeached by Pelosi for requesting Zelensky to investigate the corruption behind Burisma. Charges: Election interference.

With Regards to Indictments Yesterday.

A media company hired some conservatives to have their podcasts on their YouTube or whatever channel.
Unbeknown to Tim Pool the media company paid them with money from the Kremlin.

This is where it gets interesting. Two Russians have been indicted because of not registering as Foreign Agents.
Implication. They were on the radar for so e while. What happens in such a case? FBI obtains a FISA warrant to intercept their comms. The warrant can have them snooping on phone calls, emails , Whatsapp, FB , literally every movement you make. This spying goes up two levels. Everyone you meet is then spied up. Those who interact with the first level are also spied on.

Let's see. The FISA warrant would be on the Russians . Next up one level Tim Pool and the other three mentioned.
Second level would be everyone interacting with Tim Pool plus the other three . Their phone calls, emails, literally everything.

We know Trump had an interview with Tim Pool . He was a also a participant at the RNC convention.

In short all RNC delegates and also Trump who communicated with Tim Pool might be caught up in the FBI dragnet under title III FISA warrant. FBI might or rather most likely spying on the whole of the RNC ( campaign matters and strategy esp) plus Trump.
They would be acting legally as allowed by Title III FISA warrant on the Russians to rope everyone in.
