        An optimistic take. I don’t yet believe it but we could get there.

        Only non-witches get due process.

                It's just interesting that Shapiro is sharing it. I think most reasonable Trump supporters were hoping the tariff stuff was on the less serious side of his campaign rhetoric. Ben said as much in his debate with Sam Harris.

                    @Renauda The tariff stuff is in the con column, and by far the most important thing in that column. Lots of stuff in the pro column, which I won't litigate in this thread.

                      I’m sure of that as well and upon much of it I
                      have no comment because it is internal to
                      the US. I too agree though that doing away with the current DOE is a good thing for the US. Am sure there are others as well.

                      But I get it and respect that you are much more at home with Rand Paul than Trump and his ilk. There s a fair amount of Edmund Burke and Thomas Paine in my thinking as well, albeit tempered to meet the modern era.

                      But on foreign policy and trade, the SOB makes it my business to comment, sneer and dunk as required and deserved. Capice?

                        I know it’s becoming a new political axiom that we have no morals anymore, only interests.

                        But does anyone still hold on to quaint notions that character matters?

                        Even if it’s not a sincere internal character, but at least trying to live up to what we as a nation think a laudable leader looks like?

                        I think we’ll lose something every important in the long run if we let that go. But maybe I’m too much a goody two-shoes on this.

                        I just find Trump’s amorality… disturbing.

                            Think of the money we’ll save.

                            For the past five weeks, employees at National Institutes of Health technology transfer offices have been barred from filing new patent applications and been restricted from licensing existing ones, STAT reports. It’s a result of clampdowns on external communications and new contracts at the agency that are blocking it from sharing research materials with collaborators and taking crucial steps to ensure the discoveries its own scientists are making can later be used in the development of drugs and vaccines. “Being such a huge place of research, there was so much going on and a lot was already falling through the cracks,” one NIH patent specialist who was recently laid off said.

                            Only non-witches get due process.

                                      I think it's a pretty big deal to take the free market hostage, with a tariff gun to its head. If he doesn't realize what a big deal that is, because he thinks tariffs are actually good for America, then that would be a problem. But obviously, with all the delays and other exits from the threats of tariffs, he doesn't actually think they're a good thing for America. If they were, he'd just implement them regardless.

                                      Education is extremely important.

                                        I can’t profess to know what’s in his head. But it seems like he’s getting hit in the face with reality when the market tanks. He might be confused as to why that’s happening.

                                        So far he’s blaming the globalists.

                                        Either it’s 4D chess, or he’s an idiot. Not much middle ground.
