Democrats 2011: “Occupy Wall Street!”
Democrats 2025: “Protect Wall Street!”


It's funny how the libs have done a complete 180 and have become corporate bootlickers, don't you think?

I mean i know why they do it, because they're confused, spineless, racist, backstabbing snakes but i don't know if you knew that.

I don't think he's going to genocide anyone but he used a similar rhetoric
"Everyone who disagrees with us is bad, these people are destroying the country, media is bad, I'm the only person who can fix it etc"
This is usually the left rhetoric.
"Everyone is a nazi"
"Muh nazis"

I don't think all conservatives are Nazis but some of them are. Elon literally did a Nazi salute on Nationwide TV
However, conservatives tend toward authoritarianism
"I don't like the thing, so you shouldn't be allowed to do the thing"

Well that was a whole thing about Elon doing a Nazi salute on Nationwide TV

"Nazi" salutes are done by many members of the Democratic party.
Do a Google search and then tell me "oh but those pics are taken out of context".
Go ahead, do a search and then say that.

Let's see a video of it though because there's a difference between a hand waving gesture and what Elon did

Oh yeah?
So you're pretty good at discerning these fine-details on the right but pretty bad a discerning other details on the left such as when a Dem party member says it's cheaper to die than to live?

Japan's market opens down 9%

China's Hang Seng market opens down 11%

The Hang Seng Technology sector dropped over 14%

South Korea's market dropped over 5% triggering a pause in trading

Taiwan's Taiex index plummeted 9.6%

Australia down 3.7% (11% drop since Feb)

Singapore's stock market plunged 8%

India down 4%

Oil prices fell -- good news for the US, bad news for the Middle East. Bitcoin down 5.6%.

As for those who feel Trump did not go far enough the good news is that this Wednesday more draconian reciprocal tariffs are set to be implemented. Also, more good news for those concerned with how Trump might be responding to this worldwide condemnation of his trade policy, Trump said "our country has gotten a lot stronger" and appeared in good spirits. But not everything is down, estimates are that inflation will be up 2% a year due to the tariffs. However, those who claim this is unprecedented have no idea what they are saying, we had tariffs this high back in 1933. This of course answers that thorny question "when was America ever great?" Well it wasn't called "the great depression" for nothing!

That's a demonstrable fact. America has the most expensive health Care in the world.

Go to Canada or Europe. They have cheaper healthcare for their citizens because they don't spent a trillion dollars a year on their militaries.
Because i came from Europe and the healthcare here in US is the best in terms of research and options.
I only lament that it could be better because USA has too much money and it's an empire so why not give its citizens healthcare?
But the hospitals in the Boston area are filled with rich people who come from other areas of the world to get the latest cures here in USA.

We've already had this conversation too but the reason healthcare is so expensive in America is because they spend billions lobbying for laws that allow them to basically legally extort americans. Neither Republicans or democrats will address this

There is a global media hysteria campaign against the trade policies of trump because it threatens the globalists plans of the worlds future.. And i have a sneaking suspicion that the effects of this media hysteria along with large global investment funds are working together to cause the big drops in share prices as a way to inject hysteria into the general population.. Maybe their efforts will only bring about the collapse of the global financial system, maybe they will get caught in their own cunning.. Maybe they will bring in the mark of the beast financial system to Fix the financial disaster they might very well bring upon the earth..

Prior to the rapture the Lord will flip the money changers table. The US dollar will collapse and be replaced by BRICS as a bridge to the mark of the Beast.

Globalism is just a right-wing buzz word. We are a global economy and that's not going to change

Nope. Trump is teaching these elitists a lesson.
It is not okay to steal and we are not fools! Or as he'd like to say "Find another sucker to deal with".
Try to keep up.

Saw an article where the U.S. picked up 6 trillion in new trade deals with the tariff recipients in one day
