If tariffs stay in place long term it will be very detrimental to the economy. In my opinion, though there are some good deals now, the overall market is not cheap right now. Even if you look at trailing results, it is not cheap on a historical basis. This is just my opinion. Not advice. ๐Ÿ‘‡

Weird how he uses the term "pillars of democracy" like it's actually something he cares about.

"We can't ignore the president's desires". What a batshit statement to make. This is so perverse on so many levels.

How is the United States actually talking about taking over another nation? I can't believe this actually real. We are now the evil empire.

Isn't it our job to protect our own base and troops? Also, why would they be concerned about protecting the people of Greenland from Russia? They don't give a crap about the people of Ukraine.

Good point. I am always dumbfounded when someone tries to make the argument that the Confederates were just fighting for states rights. Sure. The right to own slaves. It was literally in their constitution. They seem to miss that part. Flying the Confederate flag is akin to flying a swastika.
