Tariffs and Potential Inflation

[SAJ-99]

28th amendment announcement, FEMA NC/FL disaster, preemptive pardons, Hunter’s pardon (after specifically saying he wouldn’t), cocaine (from ???) in the White House, $1B in campaign funds gone with a few months, President often hidden from public, etc.

It’s not the same but it’s not different either. This pendulum is getting pushed from both sides man.

Edited to add: I largely agree about EO’s. If we could back to passing reasonable bills without a bunch of nonsense tagged on we could get rid of EO’s.

Again, those are not serious comparisons. Trump pardoned his father in law in first term and just pardoned every convicted of seditious conspiracy to overthrow the government. And none of those Biden actions are close to orders that directly contradict the Constitution and federal law. Maybe the next person says "Gun crime is a national emergency, the second amendment is done. Guns are illegal." Seems extreme and people, particularly here, would be up in arms. It feels like this is where Project 2025 takes us in terms of Presidential power. Each new person pushes the limits a little further just so their followers can cheer.

A lot of this is focused on the budgeting process. Making tax cuts permanent requires revenue neutrality. The IGs have input into that process for their respective divisions. There is no way to meet the Byrd rule without fudging numbers. People need to be hired in those positions that will be "less good" at basic math.

It’s like trying to discuss philosophy with a recording my 3 year old made on her recorder.

You can’t be serious. Biden was an old-school rule follower almost to a fault. You need to point out specifics and exclude anything that reversed Trump 1 actions. This is why a hate EOs. One person puts them on and the next one takes them off. We get nowhere. However, this week we got EOs that were directly anti Constitutional and laws confirmed by SCOTUS that he said he wasn’t going to enforce. All I can say is be careful because the pendulum will swing in the future and the next person who decides not to follow the law might do the same thing on stuff you don’t like.

You can't be serious. Here is biden on tape, bragging about his corruption. Why do think Putin thought of Biden as a paper tiger?

You’re entirely missing the point. There are a whole pile of Americas that feel very slighted by those things I mentioned. They will overlook the things you’re saying, even if you think they are weightier, because of that. As I said, they aren’t the same but they aren’t different (to those people).

The bulk of 49% of the country, on either side, are not extremists. If you look at the bell curve of voters in America, more voted for Trump. And it’s not because they are extremists, or loyalists, or (fill in the pejorative). Most of them genuinely think it will be better for the country than the alternative. If someone thinks otherwise, they’d be wise to start trying to figure out why the other half disagrees enough to vote the way they did. Maybe they aren’t entirely off base. And yes, this goes both ways. Everybody needs to start talking to their neighbors and those outside their regular social groups to realize how much we agree rather than disagree.

Holy Shit! You mean the years long Congressional inquiry into this didn’t search YouTube? OMG! Call Boebert! You have broken the case wide open.

I’m not missing the point at all. They overlook it because they say “it doesn’t apply to me” or they don’t even know what inspectors general do. They just pick sides and justify crappy ideas. Completely unengaged on anything but social media. Think if every 5 years every citizen had to pass the same test as those immigrant seeking citizenship. The results would be comical, and sad.

But the price of eggs!!!!

Ok, so you’re entirely ignoring my point. Especially my last paragraph about not othering or demonizing people that voted differently than you.

At this pace, you're not going to last 4 months, let alone 4 years.

Fact:
48% of the people who took the time to vote supported Harris.
50% of the people who took tie time to vote supported Trump.

Typically, this correlates to those who will oppose/support Trump as the President elect - again.

Nature of that pendulum. There is a reason Trump exposed himself for the President he was, Biden won the next only to have the American people revert back to the President we've experienced before.

Only 207 weeks to go, unless Jill somehow gets the soft drink mall cop back as SS head.

The funny part is, I’m not as upset as you want to make me out. I just want him to get on with it. Where are those tariffs? Pitter patter….
In 4 years the average American will be blaming him for their struggles. If they aren’t, I’m sure they will all donate to his presidential library that we were told the inauguration funds will be going to.

The basket of deplorables speech didn't work out so well, did it?

 

[SAJ-99]

Or all groceries, insurance, housing, transportation etc, you know all the things you need to survive everyday. In not saying it's gonna get any better but to brush all that under the rug is a sure way to not get re-elected..

it wasn’t brushed anywhere. Voters just needed to blame someone and whoever is in charge is the easy target. It happened across the globe.

Thank goodness reversing the DEI stuff is tops on the agenda. That will really bring down prices. This is all stupid. We seem to be matching dumb ideas with more dumb ideas and getting nowhere toward solutions on the real problems. Is it wrong to root for a huge asteroid to head this way?

I mean if your that miserable, there's ways without taking everyone else with. I kid.

That's what happens when the one in charge says they're going to fix it and people elect them to do so. And yes it is all so stupid. But the stupid is nothing new its just different flavor of stupid. Just depends on which flavor you like, apparently. Imagine if all this energy could be spent in compromising between all of us. None of us really want things that are all that far apart anyway. Pipe dream.

I will hold off rooting for the asteroid, but if the Chiefs win the SB again I’m all in on the idea.

As was pointed out, you would never care anyway. This was part of that Project 2025 he didn't know anything about. Firing the people in charge of monitoring and reporting corruption in the government is not a great way to start an administration. Particularly when you hired them last time. But neither was shilling a $shitcoin with his name and another with Melania's, announcing various Trump-branded projects in the middle east, or collecting $250m for an inauguration that was moved inside (and it will be interesting to see if he stiffs the tax payer on the bill). Dude is practically advertising he is for sale.

You need more of a life. You talk more politics than actual politician on a damn hunting forum to boot! To get wound enough to write the posts you do says a lot.
I also think if 50% or more of someone's posts on HT are non wildlife politically driven they should be banned on the spot.

Don't forget the free kool-aid

Probably true. I suck at hunting, but enjoy it. Anyway you were the one who responded and asked a ?. BHR just tries to troll me and i was responding. Get over it. There is an ignore button.
