Tariffs against Canada Mexico and China.

You obviously don’t realize that all oil isn’t the same.

If you don’t know what that oil is used for, there is no way to determine the price of gasoline.
We know what that oil is used for. It’s refined into gasoline for the Midwest and West Coast markets. Because all oil isn’t the same the refineries that produce that gasoline can’t just replace that supply.

Trump’s new Sec of Treasury 3-3-3 plan

Oh the tax cut is the same cuts we have now and will be approved through the reconciliation process. I do wonder if anything gets added or tinkered with though.

The way he uses Tarriffs in public is just a starting point with negotiations if he knows he has leverage. Now how those get enacted throughout the year will tell us a lot on how they will yield it in the administration. Will it be more than the first 4 years? Are they for show to get an inch on something that looks good on the headlines to his voters?
No. He’s specifically called for even larger tax cuts this time around.
Oh I know, that’s why I added “I hope his administration learned”

From Bessent the tax cuts will be offset by cut in government spending 🤷🏽‍♂️
That requires him admitting his administration wasn’t perfect. He never makes mistakes remember?

Trump’s new Sec of Treasury 3-3-3 plan

Give it time Huey, they aren’t even in control yet. You can go the route of just hating everything they do or be like Lizzy Warren and Bernie on reaching out to work with the populist ideas that win back the middle class.
LOL's. The Democrats need to get much better at practicing the type of branding politics that the Republicans have perfected, which includes an acute need to brand the Republican party for what they really are. The problem for the Democrats is that they are bad at politics as it's practiced in the 2020's.

"Populist ideas that win back the middle class". LOL's, just stupid stupid stupid, more of what they've been trying to do forever. The Democrats and the consultants who run them are clueless about why people vote the way they vote. The Dems need to effectively brand the Republicans for what they actually really are to the low-information voters who decide Presidential elections and specifically decided the 2024 election. And that has little to nothing to do with "populist" or "policy ideas". The Republican policy agenda is extremely unpopular, but it doesn't matter.

And of course despite everything and themselves, the Dems lost a very close Presidential election and actually picked up a seat or two in the House. They'll almost certainly come roaring back in 26 and 28 in spite of themselves because the Trump administration even before taking control is pretty obviously going to be a disaster.

How many of the D’s on this board

I know a few.

I also know many people who have come to our country legally and followed the process. The people that have followed the process feel the illegals should do the same.
You know that a very large chunk of “illegals” DID follow the process, came here legally and got green cards, work visas etc and applied for renewals…but are now technically illegal through no fault of their own because OUR system failed them and couldn’t process renewals, asylum hearings, etc in a timely manner, right?

They’re literally here legally, put down roots, get jobs, start families, etc and become “illegals” because the clock runs out while they were following the process.

When they are deported, do you still plan to send them money?

Maybe go to where they come from, and help build their community?

Or are you just a voter who votes from crappy policies?
As it happens I think the right long-term path to solving illegal immigration is to create thriving communities in central and South America. As an example I actively donate to Heifer International which is a fantastic organizations helping build more sustainable lives in underdeveloped nations.

New Anthony Jeselnik special trailer

Chappelle is one of the most honest comics alive. He doesn't give a shit about pleasing anybody.
How about being funny. Anthony’s point is you can still be honest/true to yourself and be funny. Dave’s trans bits just weren’t as good as his other material. I go to a stand up show to laugh. Not a lecture or sermon. Others can disagree though. That’s cool.
