    Your take on this reminds me of the Maryland Father thread....I can't believe that thread is still going after the way I was treated on the first day of it after pointing out Garcia was a human trafficker, wife beating MS-13 member. The silly thing about that thread is it took a few days for the truth to hit the mainstream media and by that time people were calling me out asking where I went to....all that time I was patiently waiting for you guys to find out he really was an MS-13 thug.

    Since then the thread has been about Trump ignoring the judge that ruled the thug should be brought back. Anybody ever think if I had the info on Garcia just maybe his honor the judge might have seen he was a wife beating MS-13 human trafficking thug? It was right there in the record.

    When will you lot understand that it does not matter what you say or read from Breitbart or Alex Jones? It has to be proven in court. Abrego Garcia is not the only person who had their rights violated either. There are plenty more that are coming to the surface. It's a huge L for the administration, so you need to prepare your fragile ego for it. They will be bringing them back for due process. The administration already softening their stance on it.

    Who needs due process? The President should be able to be try anyone in the court of public opinion and be able to be judge, jury, and executioner too! And maybe NBC can create a new tv show too. Call it "Law and More Law!" Who needs the courtroom order. Just let the President decide.

    I see you have quickly changed your tune from long term consequences to impacts. Impacts is a plenty fair way to assess the situation.

    Completely agree the companies will adjust accordingly.

    "Consequences" are the direct results or effects of an action, while "impacts" refer to the broader, longer-term, or more significant influences of those consequences. In essence, consequences are the initial effects, and impacts are the ripple effects

    Yes, companies are adjusting because costs are about to increase for them and us. Hence, long term consequences of price increases.

    Also companies are having to shift their supply chains in extremely short time frames with no certain information. There will be winners and losers and it will impact American job markets.

    Tarrifs = taxes. Taxes reduce consumption. Reduced consumption = less jobs.

    What taxes were enacted with Covid that changed the long-term planning of supply chains? (with no analysis on outcomes to Americans; just napkin math that is enacted and reversed every other day)

    Don't even understand your point. Do you not recall empty shelves being a problem during Covid?

    Is this supposed to be some kind of appeal to authority? LOL. Just admit the market isn't tanking. Then imagine a trade deal is struck with China. A new Fed chair lowers rates further. Russia and Ukraine stop fighting. All 3 very real possibilities that would send the markets sky high. You should get in now. Hell, a new Fed chair alone would inevitably mean a more accommodative monetary policy, which has been the main driver for the stock market rallies of the past 15 years.

    Deflection. He said criticism of the current policy was rooting against America and used a vile word to describe critics… Then I showed lots of posting of his that rooted against America. You might check in your hip pocket for a bunch of hypocrisy.

    Based on your posting history your forecasts could be a good contrarian indicator. Back in August 2024 you predicted that the market would tank when it continued to rise for several more months until after Trump actually became president and proposed his on again off again disastrous tariffs. Now you're suggesting that it's a good time to buy. The reality is that thanks to the economic policies of your Dear Leader and his propensity for frequently changing positions this past week was most likely a bear market rally also referred to as a "sucker's rally".
    Some of your posts from a thread that you started last August:

    And that's after a really good week simply because Trump backed off some of the idiotic things he's been saying and doing. But the real damage is still coming. I'm not getting back into stocks anytime soon.

    We shit down the world for literally o reason. Some places for extended periods of time. We caused far more consequences to the supply chain with covid than we are with tariffs. It will be figured out. Like it was with Covid.

    Trust me the world will not come to an end. And far less damage will be caused by tariffs compared to the idiotic policies inflicted by Covid. As we have seen we have recovered from Covid on the economic side (granted some of that was pumped by free money).

    I personally do not know how this will play out and whether it is the right call. Maybe China is playing us. We will see. I doubt it though. As imo that is the main point of all of this.

    But the supply chain was affected far more by Covid than it is by the current tariffs.

    No. Just curious if there is a curriculum hole that I needed to call Mitra about.
