Donald Trump is jacking up the price of coffee.

[PersonalFavors]

What you are describing is the North American Union, which for some reason terrifies the kind of people who most consistently vote for Trump, to the point where they have NWO-grade conspiracy theories about it.

I'm absolutely sure that Colombia is on the phone with them currently....all that agriculture.

You guys live in an imaginary world.
North American Union does not terrify anyone. Canada is a great producer but supply line for production is never completely Canadian. Ever. Plus Trump will keep the finances fair. And after Trump there will be no reason not to. Properly applied tariffs can eliminate income tax. Allowing us to attack our own individual states that unfairly tax property values.
"all that agriculture"??? China's? What is agriculture export from China. I can't imagine it meeting health standards. Maybe antibiotics. But the big pharma got the message from this last regime. We will not be dependent on them forever. Already the science is ours. Production can be moved. It is American, Irish and European countries doing the production in foreign territory now.
China could hurt us on TV's. Our "green" values prevent the production of TV's in the US. We cannot afford to pay off Lurch and Gore.
Does Colombia have cell phones? I know one of their largest imports is broadcasting equipment.

Do you not understand that.your personal shopping habits are not demonstrative on how this will impact the US?

All of the ingredients for products also involve those things.

Not from Columbia.
And I doubt it would have an impact on the US. Not having caffeine or chocolate will hurt the economy or kill anyone.

Seriously. I have no idea but Trump has some sort of end game in sight. What the heck it is I have no idea,

Neither does trump, really. He wings things.

but Greenland is a geopolitical concern. Last thing we want is China in there doig what they have done across half the south pacific. Better if we work out something with Denmark and Greenland and shut China out. There's some long term geopolitical strategizing going on here, and ditto with the Panama Canal. We have to lock that one down too.

Fair on Greenland, see below. Panama Canal, eh, probably noise and distraction, like the gulf.

As for Canada, I'm sure the 51st state thing started as a joke, but an economic union, and visa-free working relationship with Canada makes a tremendous amount of sense. Currency union, freedom to move and work both ways, free trade - just treat canada as another state - all makes so much sense. Even a common passport if it comes to that.

Things with Canada are fine. trump made the bestest NAFTA minor tweak last go round. He’s just getting attention again. Have you got your Gulf of America t-shirt yet?

Denmark is in NATO and an ally.
Just asking them to allow us to put more bases there is all it would take.

Problem is, trump is so transactional he’d want Greenland to pay the US for “protecting” them from China and the Rooskies. He doesn’t get strategic alliances and subtleties. Note he had to be talked off the ledge on South Korea.

How so? Because trade with a small corrupt latin country is insignificant? How does that make me an idiot.
I still think it is funny they claim that their criminals were wronged and are going to have to find out for sure how it feels to not trade on a global scale. I haven't been able to find it, but it will be interesting how far they are willing to go. Their shipping companies are basically contractor companies. We buy a good bit of petroleum products from them because we ship and refine most of them.
Wait for this to play out ding dong. Their coffee and chocolate is expendable. Every thing else is under control, corrupt or already failing.

Tariffs can eliminate income taxes?

Hi, I’m a lawyer from the South Africa whose client, and your cousin, gifted you $10,000,000 in his will. All we need is some information and a wire transfer of $5,000 in order for you to receive this money.

Look into history. 1867 I think McKinley's tariffs were eliminated and federal income tax began.
We can do it.

Interestingly, Columbia and the US executed a free trade agreement (meaning "no tariffs", bobo) in 2012 and Murican exports to Columbia skyrocketed.

When the free trade agreement was signed, the US siphoned off a significant percentage of goods imported to Columbia from other South American and Central American countries (Columbia's historic trading partners).

Since Mango Mussolini got pissy and unilaterally dumped one of his economy-killing tariffs on Columbia, Columbia will likely just shrug and trade with their traditional partners. Since Columbia has a large percentage of the superpremium coffee market, I sincerely doubt there will be any long term effect on Columbia, because they can charge a premium on essentially a commodity product.

The only anticipated shortage import-wise to Columbia in the short term will be pork, which was essentially unknown in Columbia prior to the 2012 trade agreement, so Columbia must source pork from some other country.

The US represents more than a quarter of Columbia’s exports. They’ve been accepting deportations from the US for years. Their president apparently got his panties in a bunch because the recent batches were sent in military planes. If wants to be baited into a trade war with his country’s biggest market, he’ll regret it. He can’t win. I’m betting this tiff blows over quickly.

You post Tariffs can eliminate taxes, then post McKinley's tariffs were eliminated and federal income tax began.

Please provide an explanation with footnotes and whatever powerpoint presentation replacement of your choice.

I post? I said tariffs can eliminate the income tax. And I said income tax began when McKinley's Tariffs were eliminated.
Roosevelt eliminated the tariffs of his predecessor McKinley and spent the surplus cash with no income. To recover the Federal Income Tax was created.
Eliminating the out of control spending of the democrats and these fair tariffs proposed, the federal income tax could be eliminated. Or reduced along with small business tax and corporate tax. Tariffs are an amazing tool. The gov still has money to function and we get to keep more of what we earn.
There is no reason we as a nation, all of us, should not be prospering.

Yah, and American farmers weren't fucked and coffee shops weren't on the verge of their business closing.

Good day

Can't wait for the next country to trade war with.

What coffee shops are you obsessed with? And whose farmers are fucked? You were cracking me up a little while ago but you keep repeating yourself.
If anyone is fucked it is Colombian oil. If we don't refine it for them who will buy it?

Approves accepting returning citizens, but not on military flights

> Trump is golfing at Trump National Doral Golf Club in Miami.

It’s what he does

> Trump - “Hold my cart I’ll be right back”.

> Trump makes a couple of calls, sends out a post on Truth, imposing 25% tariffs on Colombia.

Because he’s a thin skinned guy who can’t think things through

> Trump goes back to golfing

Because it’s what he does

> Colombia quickly responds and offers up the presidential plane to help repatriate deportees.

To provide dignity to the returnees after trump did a grandstanding gesture by attempting to return them in US military planes

> Trump posts an AI photo of himself with the text 'FAFO'

As always, very presidential

A very eventful Sunday.

Yes, excellent football!

US businesses fuckhead.

And whose farmers are fucked?

US farmers who export their.gods, specifically soybeans.

You were cracking me up a little while ago but you keep repeating yourself.

You have ignored most of what I have said.

If anyone is fucked it is Colombian oil. If we don't refine it for them who will buy it?

China.

What is major crank territory?

"Allowing us to attack our own individual states that unfairly tax property values." Attack our own states?! For their tax policies?!

 

[Politruk]

What is major crank territory?

Tariffs substituting for income tax.

Any proposal to eliminate income tax is crank territory, especially "FairTax."
