It’s just that you seemed to hold different positions in the recent past. If I were so inclined, it would be very easy to quote some of those positions here. Don’t worry about it. consistency is overrated.

I have no idea what you’re talking about so I’ll let you twist in the wind and potentially ruminate on Trump’s disastrous policies.

Do you remember that time you were a little scoldy because you thought Karen Bass had only been in office a few weeks prior to the horrible fires? That was awesome. 1

Doc Posted Monday at 09:08 PM Posted Monday at 09:08 PM 3 hours ago, sherpa said: I really regret the way the administration has not informed our country on how obvious this situation was, and that something absolutely needed to be done. We were getting abused by China, India and the EU. A response to this is absolutely justified. China is the worst, but our other trade partners are nearly as guilty, and the situation needs to change. The Treasury Secretary was on CNBC for an extended interview this morning and his most informative comment was that when they started looking at this stuff, he couldn't believe how bad it has gotten. This gets worked out, but it wasn't moving in that direction. What few also seem to realize is that an almost $40T national debt, with $8T added under Biden, is untenable.

Why do you support Americans paying higher prices for everything? 1 minute ago, Doc said: What few also seem to realize is that an almost $40T national debt, with $8T added under Biden, is untenable. 1) Trade deficits are NOT the same thing as a budget deficit 2) Trump's plan will add $7.75 trillion to the deficit.

I’ve mentioned it before - there are times when someone posts something so ridiculous that it’s easy to remember. Do you expect that I will have to peruse any prior posts to recall you giving us a picture of CC Sabathia claiming it was George Scott? Of course not. You, Redhawk, and Roundy are not necessarily an exclusive club, but you do make things easy.

Andy1 Posted Tuesday at 03:58 AM Posted Tuesday at 03:58 AM (edited) So Trump claimed he got 200 trade deals done. Poor Bessent has to go on tv explaining they are actually “sub deals”. 🤨 I’m pretty sure I have a sub deal done to buy a new car at my below invoice asking price. I’m not going to get ripped off by those dealers. Edited Tuesday at 03:59 AM by Andy1 1 1

By which I mean: she really likes it, and the realtor says that as soon as we come up with $10 million it's ours. 1
