      The sack of bricks idea is gaining traction. I would love a sack of bricks to be in the room making decisions at this point.

          Is the resemblance to a bunch of intimidating thugs something he's trying to do deliberately in that video?

          I was only joking

                Apple was exempted from his first term tariffs on China, in the first administration. Biden maintained those tariffs and exemptions.

                Education is extremely important.

                  One of the big reasons for moving from tariffs to income tax early last century was because it’s such an obvious corruption surface. I’ve always seen it as the conservatives’ job to push for lessons from history. Now we just have two progressive parties.

                        Wasn't it fun on Capitol Hill today?😅😂🤣

                        Somebody, maybe Schmucky Schumer, lit up the Dingbat Signal 🦇 , and everyone of those NPC goofballs from Spartacus to Pocahantas and even Senator Shit, were spouting the same market manipulation BS. 😄

                        Aye, lads, 'twas absolutely hilarious watching those idiots try to astroturf up an issue. Oh. My. Giddy. Aunt

                        Only things missing were Nancy Pelosi, a brass band and a lizard fucking contest. 😂

                          Your post has inspired me to look-up "how do lizards mate," which led me to this:
                          https://a-z-animals.com/blog/how-do-lizards-mate/

                          From which I learnt, among other things, "Mating lizards have been observed remaining in an awkward mating position for ten hours, ..."

                          Ten f'ing hours!

                                He already took up selling meme coins. Far less work at the margins.
