Some voters may have weirdly assumed Congress wouldn’t just give away their powers to Trump to do it and voted on the assumption common sense would win out.

We’ve already enacted tariffs far beyond what we’ve been charged by other countries and did so under the false guise of a national emergency. Who all voted for that?

While I think MAGA is far too confident in the support for its lawlessness and cruelty, Dems have also misread the room. The fight should be to afford this person due process and get his ass out of El Salvador as basically the entire judicial branch at this point has unanimously and increasingly...

Much of the Democratic Party doesn’t actually understand all of why their position on tariffs is their position, or else they would not hold many of the other economic positions they do. I’m not really attacking most of this from the left. I’ve said from the beginning this is just a more...

I agree. Denmark should absolutely provide Greenland its freedom. It admittedly gets a little trickier on the “what if the citizens want to bail?” part but this one feels pretty clear to me.

My position is rather simple: I believe decisions regarding the sovereignty of a population should only be made by that population. We should not be purchasing the people of Greenland. If Greenland were to vote to join the United States and we agreed to a purchase with Denmark then I would have...

I don’t think we should be in the expansion business, but rights to certain resources in exchange for like saving Denmark from Russia or something, sure whatever.

I’m going to be perfectly honest, while I think countries should always work together to find ways to reduce trade barriers in mutually beneficial ways, I don’t care all that much if we can’t get into certain markets. If another country wants to make things marginally worse for their citizens...

Sorry, I thought you were agreeing with thethe’s proposal. Yes, I agree Europe needs to step up their own defense. But at the end of the day, we either give away money and supplies or we don’t. I’m not nearly qualified to determine when or where we should deploy that option, but I don’t think we...

This right here is why Congress is supposed to have these powers and shouldn’t be raising their hands and refusing to vote on the continued national emergency driving this ridiculous shit. It should not be possible for two idiots to ambush the President when the grown ups leave him alone to...

I think it should just be the case that we refuse to meaningfully fund their wars. I don’t mind expecting Europe to figure its own shit out, but I think it’s also fair to question whether or not every country in the world specifically owes the United States a duty for our global defense.

Would Trump would tariff California if he could, so spare me the “he doesn’t want to do it” nonsense.

Paying for US defense as part of a trade deal is bullshit. We provide defense because it gives us a strategic advantage and we can work within their sovereign borders to advance our own interests. I think we should not be in the war funding business nearly as much as we are and would welcome a...

Yes, that’s why we don’t want to do the tariffs. Because we will pay the tariffs through higher prices, and we will use the revenue from tariffs to subsidize the farming industry. This is why we don’t want to do it.

Apparently not if he got illegally deported to El Salvador in violation of an existing court order.

Maybe you should have just deported him somewhere you were legally allowed to do so.

I’ve never once had a conversation with a Palestinian person to my recollection and certainly not about Palestine. Yet I believe on my own that Palestinian citizens are having war crimes committed against them. I’m not a crazy or bad person who would murder others based on that belief, but I got...

Honestly in awe of the mental gymnastics you’re employing here. Blaming American-born citizens shooting others on immigrants.

Get over yourself. I don’t like deporting people over free speech because I think it’s morally wrong, not because I don’t want the country to be at rest.

All I’m saying is if we’re going to just do Central Planning, stop providing aid to the world and ignore the constitution, all we basically have left to offer to the world is using drones on Middle Eastern people. Wouldn’t blame the world for giving another country a shot.
