Trump Administration Predictions (1 Viewer)

[The_Doc_Man]

@Thales750 - I've looked at your know-it-all posts for months now and I'm sick and tired of you how post, which includes innumerable attacks of the argumentum ad hominem and argumentum ad autoritatum variety. Here's your challenge. Run for political office and convince people how well off they will be when you are running things. Establish a performance track record based on all that you claim to understand in a way that we don't understand. Put up or shut up.

Years in prison for dumb small stuff was horribly unjust. Pardons were in order for most of these people anyway.

And so Trump didn't pardon the people who committed violence. The issue is that the lefties have brainwashed themselves into believing that any one in the vicinity of the Capitol on that day was there to over throw the government. Logic be damned. The fact that most of the people who attended probably had guns but left them home because they were not even remotely thinking about overthrowing the government. What type of person who owns guns would go to an insurrection and leave the guns home? The answer is ----- a Democrat So the whole thing is a case of transference OR the Dems are dumber than treestumps.

Keep in mind, they are STILL arresting people, FOUR YEARS after the event who were "parading" and sentencing them to four months in prison. The punishment simply does not fit the "crime". All the pardoned J6 people have a good case for judicial abuse. There was nothing fair in how they were treated. That is not how justice works in the US.

Tariffs: My prediction is that whatever tariffs Trump puts in place will have a mixed effect. In some industries and with some companies (the ones who choose not to absorb the $ change to the supply chain), prices will go up for a while. Also, some industries will move their operations to the USA, which ultimately will benefit the USA a lot. Temporary pain.

Kind of like cutting the too-many government services - obviously there's going to be pain from someone who maybe is used to getting grant money for stupid stuff, or has lived on welfare for 10 years, or have avoided getting married to game the Dole system in general, or whatever else the government finds some way to spend an unbelievable amount of money on people who generally ought to be providing for themselves. Temporary pain, but good for the deficit and debt.

Liberals don't seem to mind temporary pain at all when it comes to climate change - EV mandates, product bans, more expensive energy. They don't because they realize it's for the right purpose. Tariffs may prove to be a little like that, but I have no idea if I'll end up being right or not

Whole heartedly agree. The majority of the people didn't do anything wrong, basically, and the majority of the prosecutions were seriously overcharged and oversentenced in rabidly liberal courthouses. Pardons are good in this case, although a more precise delivery of "the message" might have been achieved by calling them "commutations of sentences" (i.e., you might have done some tiny thing wrong but your sentence is long since served by justice) - but I'm not going to nitpick semantics

I understand the chart, it's your explanation that has me scratching my head

So, @Thales750, what do you think of Jamie Dimond's opinion on tariffs? He's a bridge player you know.
