Canadian Tariff situation gets its own thread

Pablo, you're far too good looking to be taking shots at nice, polite neighbor countries like that.

[Renauda]

That’s, “only occasionally polite” to you, Horace

I like winning.

Conservatives have already won a lot, since Trump took office. It seems like the pace is not slowing down. I'm sure there will be missteps, maybe even a big error or two, but it's nice to see the country heading in the right direction.

Congress needs to do its part. EO 's are often just temporary fixes to permanent problems. I want to see a budget. One that's leaner and harkens back to pre-COVID spending. I want to see Hegseth produce a satisfactory audit out of the DOD and better use of our defense dollars. I want to see reform in Medicare and Medicaid. I want to see some ethics reform in Congress. I want to see banking reform.

Oh, there's lots of things I'm hoping for, but right now I'll be content with some more winning.

Why aren’t all the people who defended Trump’s tariffs as the beginning of a new American manufacturing renaissance lamenting that he backed down after small symbolic concessions?

Shouldn’t they be angry America was denied the prosperity of the McKinley era?

I think you like bullshit more than you like winning.

What did I tell you?

He's getting 100,000 Mexican troops sent to the border and we now have spy planes in Mexican airspace. We have more assets from Canada to help seal that border (although this was always about Mexico).

There are going to be tariffs. I think they're going to be more selective and I think they'll be used like a cattle prod to goose construction of American factories.

But you can continue to wallow in your pool of angst if you must, although that may not be good for your mental health.

Me, I'm just going to have a cup of and contemplate whether Collins tipped the scales in Gabbard 's favor...Tulsi has a hard-on for some of the shadow banning and no-fly stuff in the Deep State. Would be more winning if she can tear it to pieces...

Not as much as cosplay as a pigeon chested rooster and self appointed barnyard barrister. If it ain’t bullshit, it’s chicken shit. You’ve got it all covered, Foghorn.
