I didn’t realise Rubio was such a turn coat .

Having called the Potus a conman (2016 ) to become the Secretary of State !

There’s a social climber who will throw anyone under the bus ; he’s not alone from what I can see .

There’s a whole bunch of Republicans feathering their own nest to climb the ladder and become Potus .

Buyer beware !

I’m just going to put it out there for general observation , that I envisage the same scenario ( plural ) for many of the Epstein clan ( of which he is not an isolated case within the hierarchical social circle ) being brought to justice and eventually having to answer to the rule of law as we ( commoners ) all do .

I hope their anxiety is at the highest level , irrespective of the their circumstances ; law is applicable to each and everyone of us .

Use the UK as an example and the US should do the same

It's not a lie. It's just that you know more about me than I do. My first post in 9 or 15 years is a distinction without a difference. My point stands: Twocans has the emotional development of a young girl to ignore someone based on one post since 2017.

I don't know anything about VC, but you generally presenting yourself as an antagonistic troll I could give him the benefit of the doubt. Your sole purpose of being here is to make people mad, so when they ignore you I can't fault them too much.

He threw a tantrum, he knows he is done with tariffs as the congress won't support them past the 150day threshold. He is a one trick pony, he had his five with tariffs and now he is done.

Funny how all the deals with EU & Co. are postponed, next thing - no billions in manufacturing coming either and on top of that he will have to return all the tariffs US already collected. This TACO will be very costly for the ordinary Joe once the bill comes due

I wonder what was in those many boxes that he had hidden in his closet at Mar-a-Lago?
The judge that was appointed by Trump, Cannon, recently ordered them sealed and put away.
With the evidence inaccessible, maybe that is why he is claiming that he is exonerated regarding Epstein files.
The timing for the files sealed and his claim of being exonerated is very suspect.

Doesn't know "their" from "there". Thinks CNBC is left wing or that it would mean anything. Doesn't remember all the times TACO chickened out.

A simple one-question test to demonstrate knowledge of the difference in there/their/they're would exclude one nescient from voting to start a trade war, raise our taxes, and embarrass the US on the world stage.

Why do you think all adults should be required to vote?

Voting is mandatory in Singapore and the punishment for not voting is losing the ability to vote, but the average IQ is high in Singapore, so maybe it makes more sense.

What we desperately need is education on critical thinking from a young age. I mean, nearly everyone believes correlation is causation. I didn't even learn correlation isn't causation until the internet because it's not taught in school. I took logic and philosophy in college and still no one told me. One of the most fundamental mechanics of thinking is kept more secret than the Epstein files, and the only way to learn is get into an online argument about climate change.

What won the election for Trump was inflation, which had almost nothing to do with Biden. It was an unrelated correlation, but voters have no concept of that. Maybe they do in Singapore.

I read that Trump did not pass SAT, he bribed one nerd to take the test for him...so, here we the see consequences...
Of course, it is not him pushing tariffs, the has the elites behind him, but...

from like actual economics 101 tariffs are textbook bad. like David Ricardo wrote this whole thing about comparative advantage back in 1817 showing that when countries trade freely everyone ends up richer . Milton Friedman called tariffs a tax on domestic consumers, not on foreign countries . when u slap a tax on imports, the importer just passes that cost to u. ur paying more, not china or whoever.

The Smoot-Hawley tariff in 1930 tried this same vibe and it literally made the great depression worse. global trade collapsed like 67% . we literally have a historical example of why this is stupid and we're just... doing it again? aa, ohh,, Orange TACO

classical free market theory says let people buy stuff from wherever its cheapest. tariffs just distort the market, protect inefficient industries, and make everything cost more for regular people . the fact that investors are shrugging it off just means they either think its temporary or they're numb to the chaos at this point.

anyway 15% on everything is wild, but markets been through worse i guess
