WOW.....Vance on Meet the Press with Welker

[Hawkman34]

In a sense you're correct - you expose yourself. I simply point it out and provide corrections.

Do you always welch on bets that you lose?

You are really triggered. I LOVE IT!

I would assume you are 12, but it is clear that you HAVE to be a 70+ something ex-hippy with the drivel you spout. LOL!

Look, you can keep parroting the same drivel, but it will never make you right. Just deal with it...and for pete sakes...take a brake from here and live life!!! There really is so much out there....even for someone like you who clearly never logs off and gets out of their basement. 5 more post to 44000!!! Your mother must be so proud!! 😂

 

[Tom Paris]

he knows everything and can explain in detail on JRE how he had things under control in foreign policy and the border.

your, fully confident she has the brains for the job, but please answer how?

900,000 border encounters in 2019. You sure about that?

 

[Hawkman34]

Yeah 2020 was great.

Why are you avoiding the question about welching on bets?

Oh, the pandemic was horrible. But, he left Biden a 1.4 inflation rate, but then your hero took over and screwed it up.

Dude, I have already told you that I am going to pop on here from time to time. You need this. Maybe my encouragement will get you to move outside your basement. LOL!!

LOL - I'm the one triggered. It is so easy to make you dance and flail.

You're a dumbass and a liar.

 

[Hawkman34]

Please elaborate how the economy is on the wrong track. I want to read your expertise on the topic. Explain how we don’t have the strongest economy in the world, and what Trump will do specifically to improve it.

Read back in the thread and you will see this has already been addressed. LOL!

So his 4 years weren't all great. Got it. So easy.

Please do. The entertainment value is great.

Which post specifically did you explain this? Thanks.

 

[Hawkman34]

Yep...you are so triggered. I absolutly could care less about this. It is just fun for me. But you? This is your life....your existence. You would think I kicked your dog over a bridge the way you react. 3 more post!!!! And, then since I bother you so much, just put me on ignore. 😂

 

[95Hawk]

Which post specifically did you explain this? Thanks.

It’s the part where his own defects in life didn’t allow to take advantage of a strong economy the last 3 years.

 

[Doodads and Hoohah]

Inflation has outpaced any wage increase seen. You do know this....right?

No I don't know this because, as the article(and as I said) say it's complicated but mostly wrong.

Oh, I think he did GREAT during the pandemic. It wasn't his fault the Chinese let it out of a lab. And again, he left your hero with a 1.4% inflation rate. You denying this? LOL!!

What post? I want to go back and read it.

 

[Hawky42]

It really is funny how they try everything they can to pick and chose to make it seem like everything is so great under this administration. Then they refuse to admit the American population think the economy is crap. It is just hihilarious.

They are *******

 

[Hawkman34]

What are your specific objections? Inflation is low, employment is high, wages are growing and outpacing inflation, markets are at all time highs, the consensus of economists is that the economy is very strong.

Or are you just following the right wing hymn book again?

All the same could be said for Trumps years. Why don't you look at the polls for what the American citizens say? Oh, that's right, that would blow up your narritive.

 

[Hawkman34]

What post? I want to go back and read it.

Yesterday at 10:24am. That is your one "help"

 

[Hawkman34]

Oh wow!!! This is CLASSIC idiocy. You are another part of the 30%.

 

[Hawkman34]

Yes they are...simply unreal. Alright buddy, wife and kids have short kids movie ready to go.

Have a GREAT night and GO HAWKS!!!!

 

[95Hawk]

Oh wow!!! This is CLASSIC idiocy. You are another part of the 30%.

K. Thanks.

Sorry life hasn’t worked out for ya. The grievances are pretty evident.

 

[RileyHawk]

How much less could you care? JFC

I am entertained.

 

[Hawky42]

Would you like to play a game?

 

[RileyHawk]

Oh, I think he did GREAT during the pandemic. It wasn't his fault the Chinese let it out of a lab. And again, he left your hero with a 1.4% inflation rate. You denying this? LOL!!

Do you think zero inflation would be good for the economy? How about negative inflation?

There's a reason the target is around 2%, dumbass.

 

[Hawky42]

Oh wow that's a cute response. No consciousness angling for your ego. You're still on the wrong side of it.

 

[RileyHawk]

So you are admitting the economy is at least as good as it was during the Trump administration, in your eyes at least. Yet you then claim that the economy is teriible.

It's hilarious how you trip over your own words.

Are you talking 2020 or 2018??

 

[Hans81]

They will have to create a new word to describe what will happen if Trump wins and he institutes his tarrifs plan. Hyper inflation won't cover it.

The key word you left out “if” Trump institutes his tariff plans. Such plans would need to be approved by Congress, etc.

 

[RileyHawk]

Oh wow that's a cute response. No consciousness angling for your ego. You're still on the wrong side of it.

My what? You're* a dumbass as well?

Do you advocate for zero inflation?

 

[RileyHawk]

Unsuprised you are lost.

 

[95Hawk]

The key word you left out “if” Trump institutes his tariff plans. Such plans would need to be approved by Congress, etc.

Incorrect.

Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 allows a president to raise tariffs without the approval of Congress (after having their Dept of Commerce review the plan).

Trump used the power in 2018. No congressional approval.

 

[Hans81]

We, in the USA are living in a strong economy right now…. Despite what MAGAt Amerika is saying. People who say the economy is “bad” are just playing bad politics, in my opinion. Things are more expensive than they were 5 years ago…. Yep. But 10 years ago, that was the case, too…
In 1973 the price of a dozen premium golf balls moved from $15/ dozen to $18/ dozen. We in the golf business thought we would never hear the end of it! Today these golf balls are $50+/ dozen… and folks are still buying them and still playing golf! Whoever thought we would see cars with a MSRP of $40k and higher? People are still buying cars, too. A “middle class” new construction single family house retails out at $350k… when I moved to DSM in ‘63 you could buy a 3bdrm ranch w/ attached garage in WDSM for $25k….interest rates were 7-9% and you had to make an additional pointing at the bank to arrange a mortgage interview…Pick your poison…

Wages were also lower in the 1960’s, 70’s which kind of muddies the water on your comparative “analysis”.

 

[RileyHawk]

The key word you left out “if” Trump institutes his tariff plans. Such plans would need to be approved by Congress, etc.

You continue to display your ignorance.

The U.S. President has certain unilateral powers to impose tariffs, largely granted by specific laws that allow executive action without needing immediate Congressional approval. Some key legal frameworks empowering the President to impose tariffs unilaterally include:

1. Trade Expansion Act of 1962 (Section 232): This provision enables the President to impose tariffs on imports that are deemed a threat to national security. Section 232 tariffs were used extensively by the Trump administration to impose tariffs on steel and aluminum imports, citing national security concerns. This allows the President considerable leeway to define what constitutes a national security risk.
2. International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) of 1977: The President can use this act to impose tariffs or other trade restrictions during a declared national emergency. Although the IEEPA is generally aimed at controlling foreign assets or blocking financial transactions, it has also been interpreted to cover a broad range of trade actions.
3. Trade Act of 1974 (Section 301): Section 301 grants the President authority to impose tariffs in response to unfair trade practices by other countries, such as violations of trade agreements or discriminatory practices against U.S. companies. The U.S. Trade Representative can recommend action under Section 301, allowing the President to implement tariffs, as was done during the U.S.-China trade disputes from 2018 onward.
4. Tariff Act of 1930 (Section 201): Section 201 allows for "safeguard" tariffs on products that are imported in large quantities and cause harm to domestic industries. Though typically requiring an investigation and recommendation from the U.S. International Trade Commission, the President can unilaterally decide to impose tariffs based on those findings.

I’m 100% confident she passed the California bar exam. There’s no “apparently” about it.

Kind of a douche statement. But you do you.

How many attempts did it take her?

 

[95Hawk]

How many attempts did it take her?

Twice. The California bar exam is considered the most challenging in the U.S.

Do we want to get into a pissing match about grades and academic credentials? I’d like to see Trump’s transcripts if that were the case.

Your guy is a mental midget.

That’s why I included “etc” as he would have a cabinet administration to vet his tariff plan(s). You do realize…he’s not a king. 😉

My point still stands…her common sense and “street smarts” are questionable. I’ve known many nerds that can pass a test, but can’t handle a basic Q and A session.

What was the guy's name that took Bonespur's college entrance exam? You know, the guy daddy paid? 🤣🤣

Ummm. Do you know Trump? You think he’s going to have a cabinet full of individuals who have a spine or a conscience?

And SCOTUS basically made the presidency - at least a Trump presidency - a kingdom.

You’re getting a bit owned tonight. Maybe collect yourself and come back when refreshed?

 

[Hans81]

Hans has been 'double burned' on his ignorance.

No, I haven’t. Any president will seek council from his/her staff, hence my “etc” add-on in my initial post.

 

[Hans81]

What was the guy's name that took Bonespur's college entrance? 🤣🤣

So, the president needs to be an “expert” on various fields of study? Or have common sense, communication skills, leadership skills, etc.

That’s your opinion.
