Trump promised lower prices and you are going to get the opposite if tariffs are applied.

"Tariffs will raise US fuel prices by 10%. Many refineries are configured to run heavy Canadian grades. Midwest refineries are most reliant on Canadian crude imports. If implemented, the tariffs would force those refiners, including Marathon Petroleum to either pay a higher price to import oil from these countries or to find alternative suppliers that would be further away and thus also more expensive."

"An iconic 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off' clip is going viral as Trump rolls out more tariff plans In the 1986 coming-of-age movie, Bueller's teacher, played by a famously monotone Ben Stein, recounts the impact of high tariffs on the US economy after the Great Depression to a classroom of zoned-out students. In the scene, Bueller's economics teacher explains the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act, a Republican-backed law enacted in 1930 that raised tariffs on imported goods. It was intended to help the US recover from the Great Depression. Instead, it caused countries to implement retaliatory tariffs and sunk the US economy deeper as both exports and imports decreased. The clip has struck a chord among people on social media worried about the economy under the tariffs Trump has proposed. Economists have said that they would increase prices and inflation and that many companies would pass the costs on to consumers." Business Insider

Obviously what you are currently doing is not working. If deaths from mass shootings was an Olympic sport, the United States would win the gold medal. Why not make it a reasonable challenge for the next mass shooter?

@LovehardFightharder_ In your analogy, what is the disease?

Canada imposed retaliatory tariffs on aluminum and steel imports from the United States in response to the United States' tariffs on these products. The tariffs were imposed on July 1, 2018, and were intended to remain in place until the United States eliminated its trade-restrictive measures. Canada and the United States agreed to lift the tariffs on May 19, 2019.

"It was just madness inside. Gunman kills 4 people at Tulsa hospital complex. June 2, 2022." You have literally had every possible permutation and combination of mass shootings. All ages, various races of both victims and perpetrators, and assorted venues. You are going to have to stop grocery shopping, going to school, going to church, attending concerts, going out to nightclubs, and watching parades or the madness will never end.

"Other Countries Had Mass Shootings. Then They Changed Their Gun Laws. Britain, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Norway: All had a culture of gun ownership, and all tightened restrictions anyway. Their violence statistics now diverge sharply from those of the U.S. Only the United States, whose rate and severity of mass shootings is without parallel outside of conflict zones, has so consistently refused to answer those events with tightened gun laws. The record is clear, confirmed by reams of studies that have analyzed the effects of policies like Britain’s and Australia’s: When countries tighten gun control laws, it leads to fewer guns in private citizens’ hands, which leads to less gun violence — and to fewer mass shootings."

The Mango Mussolini made a campaign promise to lower prices day one. As any American who has gone shopping for eggs lately knows: Prices aren’t any lower than they were on Inauguration Day.

Stop getting high from your own supply.

Despite DOGE budget cut crusade, Trump has already spent $10.7 million of taxpayer money on golf trips. Since January 20, the president has reportedly spent all four weekends on the green, and played golf at his own properties on nine of his first 30 days in office.

An ad hominem argument is weak. "It was just madness inside. Gunman kills 4 people at Tulsa hospital complex. June 2, 2022."

@ohmisterbelpit2457 Mental illness is a problem in every country. The mass shooting problem is unique to the United States.

Does that argument apply to driving laws as well?

Fox News’ Jessica Tarlov brought receipts and read them out loud during a lively discussion on the impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden during Tuesday’s episode of The Five. After sitting through what she called Jesse Watters’ “diatribe” on all the reasons Biden should be impeached, Tarlov commented, “It’s strange that members of the Republican Party who serve in Congress don’t agree with [Watters.]” So much so that they’re on record saying things like this: David Joyce (R-OH), congressman, “I’m not seeing the facts or evidence.” Dusty Johnson (R-SD), “There’s a constitutional legal test that you have to meet with evidence. I haven’t seen it.” Don Bacon (R-(R-NE), “There should be a direct link to the president in some of the evidence. I think we need to have more concrete evidence to go down that path.” And then Ken Buck (R-CO), “The time for impeachment is the time when there’s evidence linking President Biden, and I don’t think that evidence has been presented.” Tarlov continued, “These are not people who are Democrats, these are not members of the ‘lame stream media,’ or whatever you want to call it — those are Republican congresspeople.”

What exactly is the propaganda and how do you know that?

Congratulations. You have solved the case. Every politician has speech writers.

@WJAlexander-o6t That's definitely true. "President Donald Trump has again made confusing remarks about the stealth nature of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, lending credence to the idea he believes the radar-evading fighter is actually invisible to the human eye. Trump made the comments during an August 19 press conference at the White House, where he discussed a possible sale of the F-35 to the United Arab Emirates."

@WJAlexander-o6t Here's more Trump gibberish. While noting the research should be treated with caution, Mr Trump suggested further research in that area. "So, supposing we hit the body with a tremendous - whether it's ultraviolet or just very powerful light," the president said, turning to Dr Deborah Birx, the White House coronavirus response co-ordinator, "and I think you said that hasn't been checked but you're going to test it."

@WJAlexander-o6t Obviously no speech writer would take credit for this. "At least you got a nice boat out of the deal,” said President Trump to hurricane victims. “Have a good time!” he told them.

@WJAlexander-o6t Donald Trump speaks what's on his mind, often as soon as it appears there. And after winning his third-straight contest in Nevada Tuesday, Trump credited his "poorly educated" supporters, in part, for the win. "We won the evangelicals. We won with young. We won with old. We won with highly educated. We won with poorly educated. I love the poorly educated," he said during his victory speech.

@WJAlexander-o6t "Anyone who starts listing Joe Biden’s verbal slips had better be ready to listen to a LONG list of Donald Trump’s gaffes. For example: Yo-sem-ite National Park and Thighland. Trump also said, “You know, we have to protect Thomas Edison, and we have to protect all of these people that came up with originally the light bulb, and the wheel and all of these things. And he’s one of our very smart people, and we want to cherish those people.” How do we make sense of that? Does he think Edison is still alive? Does he know who invented the wheel? Who has the patent on it? A number of psychologists have expressed concern about the deterioration of Trump’s mental faculties. His own niece, a psychologist, has said he is “unfit” to be president, as Lindsey Graham did in 2016. Some psychologists have examined his interviews from a decade or more ago and have noted how he now struggles for words and often leaves sentences unfinished. You could put together a video of his gaffes, misstatements, and outright lies and binge-watch for hours." The Independent

@moaski Why not deal with the mass shooting epidemic? So far this year, the United States has had over 200 mass shooting events. Just because you can't solve all the problems doesn't mean that you shouldn't solve any.

The only poll that matters is the one that happens on election day. According to Collins: 1. Woke is the past tense of wake. 2. adjective. Someone who is woke is very aware of social and political unfairness.

Ted Cruz is an embarrassment to Canada (he was born in Calgary) and wrong about everything else except this. He just didn't explain it very well. While guns are definitely the problem, allowing unfettered access to schools is also a problem. All the schools in the district in Canada I work in have a locked door policy. There is a camera and doorbell at the front door. When someone wants to enter a school, they ring the doorbell. The office staff assess the visitor and grant entrance as appropriate. Students and staff are able to exit the building through multiple exit doors. The exit only doors are built with panic bars. While we don't have the same issue with school shootings, it is a common sense security measure.
