If his accusations had validity, donât you think the dem AG would have prosecuted him? Or is that off limits as it would open a can of worms as there are sexual predators on both sides of politics and they fear retribution? Who knows.
What I do know is that she helped Trump directly during his trials and is as authoritarian and right wing as they come. Listen to her speak.
Regarding if I think before I post. I have unfortunately been more right in this thread than anybody and I never wanted trump to win as he is a disgusting human.
I think the Gaetz outcome was a positive sign, in that Republicans in Congress wonât be the lap dogs of Trump and just do his bidding. He wasnât popular among Republicans in Congress, did the numbers and considered that if he didnât reject the offer, the House Ethics Committee would release an uncensored report.
The Republicans canât expect another Trump to capture the disaffected and would be working towards other ways to harvest votes for the mid terms and an acceptable Presidential candidate, to temper Trumpâs excesses and offer an alternative
Oh, I think thereâs way more Right posters in this thread than you.
But the âwinâ mindset is pretty childish.
People just want obviously unsuitable people not getting roles. Itâs really not too much to ask for, and nobodyâs suggesting the Republicans donât have suitable candidates.
Biden should have said way earlier that he would be a one term presidentâŚthus allowing the full primary process to occurâŚstaying on (until he was no doubt pushed) meant that the Dems realistically had little to go with anyone but Harris.
Why did Trump win?
A variety of reasonsâŚ
The Dems failed dismally by not attacking Trump personally on his many issues
The Dems failed to get out from the Repuiblicans attacks on their âwokenessâ
The media, at large, failed to report Trumpâs mental aberrations with anywhere near the level that they did on BidenâŚall media, not just Right Wing media.
The stupidity of Black, Latina and Female voters who somehow decided that Trump stood for them.
Harris couldnât land significant blows on Trump to show that she would be a better option
Racist, Nazi, sexist, anti-democratic after Jan 6 and much more was all we heard from the dems and their supporting media about trump. They rolled out so many ex republicans, his past administration members & generals and even Cheney.
Kamala failed because people didnât believe her, thought she was fake after flipping on so many issues and not being able to clearly set and set a vision for a better future.
Enough people that voted for Trump, especially independents, held their nose and voted for trump because of this. He wouldnât have won if it was otherwise.
Trump wants to increase import tariffs as an alternative source of revenue to domestic taxes ( when import tariffs are effectively a tax on the domestic consumer).
He also wants to raise tariffs on some goods ( mostly from China) to a prohibitive level to replace imports with domestic goods.
The International Trade Commission , an independent statutory body in the Washington swamp ( in Commerce portfolio) might explain to him how it works in practice in different sectors.
No, tariffs are a tax on the country of origin. Donald said so and told all those economists that they were not very smart and got it wrong when they contradicted him. (Sarcastica font).
How many people believed this as it wasnât widely debunked in the media?
I suspect that there are a fair few low information voters in the US and only go with the vibe, so donât really know that 30k plus lies from the orange buffoon included ones that were the reasons that they voted for him.
While Commerce has the general authority on tariffs, Section 301 and super 301 of the Trade Act accord the President executive powers to impose special tariffs against trading partners, through the Office of the Special Trade Representative, which is formally attached to the White House and one of the smallest US bureaucracies.
Trump may seek to use those powers as his plaything, to get around a more conservative approach by Commerce.
As it is, US Section 301 actions would be about the most litigated in international trade disputes and arenât often resolved (without developing into full scale trade wars).
