I read this title and in my head I pronounced Democrates similar to how you'd say Socrates. And I couldn't help but open it.
Good. This is part of the reason the court system is so backed up.

Personally, I'm all for stopping ALL immigration for a short reset period. And a part of that is the lefts reaction to the administration trying to fulfill its biggest campaign promise.

I think some of these people really believe that millions of gallons of water will be taken into these data centers every day, never to be seen again.

What make you so certain the water is not being recycled?

How do you define "water usage" in this case?

Yes, Trump is quite the “Uniter”.
I’ve never seen the country so unified…


We are no more or less divided than when Obama left office. In fact, without Obama, there can be no President Trump. He is a direct result of the division Obama caused.
I feel like this needs to be a daily thread. New thread every day specifically detailing whatever Trump did to cause "outrage" on the left. The date should be in the thread title.
His question served no purpose other than being provocative. He gave no opinions, and likely doesn't have one.

If/when the events he's asking about happens, he will whine and complain that Trump is a war criminal. If it doesn't happen, he will say Trump is indecisive/lacks credibility/a TACO.

When do want it to be? Do you think it should have happened already? Do you want it to happen at all or not?

I support the effort, but I do not think this blockade will work.

Or at least I only think it'll work until someone puts us in a position to enforce it. How do we stop them? Fire on the ship? Sink it? I don't think that'll play well.

Or do you rain hellfire down on Iran if that happens?

Why must people be so simple


Because their world view is simple.

The world, and this country, would be better without Trump. Therefore, anything and everything that can possibly reflect poorly on Trump becomes their default viewpoint on any subject matter being discussed.
They'll tell you they meant welfare from federal programs, and of course they knew these people were receiving state funds (which is funded from the federal government).

Because there's a huge difference and that difference matters... to them, it does. For some reason.
It's not that demand goes up... it's the normal supply chains went down and can no longer meet the world's demand.

I'd take the Cajun navy any day over those people.
Would love to see that R Tlaib vs H Johnson quiz bowl matchup lol

Sure. I've said that from the outset. If the point of the tariffs was to force other countries to drop them, sure, fine. But number one, that hasn't happened.


That doesn't mean it won't happen. Tariffs aren't a catastrophic economic event that moves things in a week or a month. Plus, countries have ways they can try and offset or fight them or lessen their effects. It takes a while to sink in.

You may turn out right in the end. But I'm not ready to say they're a failure yet.

And number two, that goal is diametrically opposed to at least two other stated goals for the tariffs in the first place.


No, it isn't. If there's one thing Trump has been consistent on... and by consistent, I mean since the 80s, it's tariffs.

A competent administration would have provided companies incentives over time to make moves abroad before being hit with tarrifs.


There may be some truth here. I mean, Clinton definitely provided incentive the other way for manufacturing to leave, and it only took a couple decades for us to become a service and tick-tock economy. We make nothing anymore.

Well, they can pay increased labor costs, or pay the tariffs, or sell less product. Those are the options, currently and the near future at least.

Or....and hear me out for a second...

Maybe all parties involved can just stop the silliness and drop all tariffs.
The refining industry all along the gulf coast came into being largely because of Venezuelan oil. It's why those refineries exist. They're built for that type of crude oil.

Trump has endorsed Salazar via Truth Social. You were saying?


What does that have to do with my question? I'm no fan or the bill. And I'm no fan of anyone who supports it.
