Liberation Day. Yes.

We will remember it forever.

That's when Americans were liberated from their jobs and their paychecks and then their Democracy.

(including General U.S. Grant's four slaves)

U.S. Grant had freed his ONLY slave, William Jones, BEFORE the Civil War in 1859.

Never tell me that this man isn't insane ever again.

Or he is the victim of his own extreme ignorance.

Though extremely purposeful ignorance (thinking you are always right when you are obviously always wrong) to try and constantly reform and twist reality to fit your false beliefs is a form of insanity.

There are a few posters here that fit that description.

What did I miss?

A lot. True liberation would be liberating the poor and the middle class from the crushing debts and burdens being placed upon them.

A true "liberation" day would be a Jubilee and cancel all debts public and private and give us all a fresh start.

Re 7

Again. Is this sarcasm or what you actually believe to be true? So hard to tell when the world is upside down.

Defeated confederate soldiers were NOT allowed to keep their slaves. No one was given "exemptions" to the 13th amendment when all forms of indentured servitude (except in prisons) were outlawed in America. Maybe it did take some time to fully enforce ( like until the 1960s) being as how the south made sure that Reconciliation would fail.

There's, I'd proffer, a three to four year delay between the time the decision to build for a new factory is made and the time that the factory comes online.

Absolutely.

They are claiming the returning manufacturing work will be taken up by the existing excess factory capacity.

But I have yet to see anyone do the math and show how it will lower prices by bringing manufacturing back to a country where the wages are much higher and healthcare costs have only gotten worse and the cost of living is skyrocketing.

I still can't see where the PROFITS will come from to support this.

By Friday, or do they have to endure the pain until next week?

Not by Friday and not by next week. And especially not for Canadians. Your pain hasn't even started yet. But Trumpy is coming for ya. You get to be our 51st state you lucky devils! No more gubmint healthcare for you you lazy bastages.

Anyway ... Our recovery will be at the time and place of Trumpy's choosing.

Which is currently estimated to be on the 1st of never.

Because prices rarely if ever go down once they go up. They only go keep going up. (Or stay the same and the quantity and the quality go down)

Places everyone. Stock up on popcorn while it's still affordable. The greatest -------- on earth is just beginning.

"Perhaps he was trying to be funny and we missed the sarcasm."

It is getting hard to tell if they are serious or not when every other headline and sound bite today sounds as if they come straight from the Onion.

"...because their jobs are going to come back home"

If you believe hard enough.

Because if you don't believe in Magic then all the Tinkerbells will die!

Snitching on the neighbors you never liked.

A Sign of the times.

"The mentally ill are the mentally ill."

And your messiah's evil plans helps them how?

Makes them more mentally ill.

Great Plan.

The bill would require the president to provide Congress with "an assessment of the potential impact of imposing or increasing the duty on United States businesses and consumers."

Duty = Tax

Wow. So Congress wants an assessment BEFORE actions are taken? What a concept! You mean they want some kind of analysis before just diving into the chaos?

What is happening? How on earth was Congress able to come up with legislation that actually makes sense?

This is just too hard to believe. I'll believe it when I actually see it.

They wouldn't necessarily have to be virgins. ;)

Heck. There does not even have to be 72 of them either as far as I'm concerned. Just a nice variety will do.

But I don't make the rules. So 72 is fine by me.

Re 68

"Basic policies" should have been hateful policies. Thx Siri.

Nope....they're still happy with the GOP.

#60 | POSTED BY EBERLY

Sure. Like Jeffry Dalmer was "happy" with his life. Who really cares if hateful morons hellbent on evil are frigging "happy" with the results of their hateful actions?

They support the GOP only while the GOP is able promote basics policies and, of course, to "own the libs". And when they are unable to own the libs anymore (due to the crushing weight of reality) "they" will drop the GOP like a hot potato.

Owning the libs is a terrible economic policy and is already back firing in a hundred different ways. And it's only been two months. And the -------- has barely even begun.

It is well known that a society's stability depends on its ability to meet the basic needs of its people, and that when those needs are not met, people are more likely to become disaffected and potentially resort to violence or chaos.

Hang in there folks! Mr Toads Wild Ride (ver 2.0) has barely even begun.

Joe 6-pack with the Trump sign in his yard is living the American dream. He's got a job, maybe a wife/girlfriend, AC/furnace, and cold beer.

Joe the plumber died at the age of 49 of cancer. He had married twice and left behind 4 children.

Joe the plumber wanted to own a plumbing business but did not even have a contractors license for plumbing and owed 1200 in back taxes at the time and he later made most of his money grifting off of pre-maga fools. Joe the plumber voted for Trumpy before he died poor and left his family in debt because of the cost of his medical care.

Joe the plumber once said after a mass shooting ... "your dead kids don't trump my constitutional rights".

Joe the one plumber was nothing like me that's for sure.

Greatest -------- on earth.

Are you not yet entertained?

We all wish you were significantly older.

Lol.

So exactly how many voices in your head are there?

go to church and invest in crypto, in a couple hundred years you'll double your money easy peasy!

And if all that fails then there is always Heaven. Heaven is waiting patiently for you after you die as long as you believe in the one true god. Unfortunately for you there are a bunch of them who claim to be the one true god. So. Hope you've pick the right god to back. Good luck with that crap shoot, too. Don't know about you but I am thinking tho that 72 virgins offer is a better offer than streets paved with gold and angels playing harps in the clouds.

See post 18 in this thread for an excellent and timely example.

"Just a little bit of leafy green sarcasm."

Well apologies then!

But you know it's really hard to tell sarcasm from Trump and his supporters brazen blustering anymore when every headline today sounds like it came straight from the Onion.

"Manufacturing will be coming back."

I want what you're smoking! That's gotta be some good stuff.

Why did manufacturing go overseas?

Profits.

Why is it not coming back?

Profits.

There is no profit in bringing manufacturing back to America.

Therefore manufacturing is NOT coming back to America anytime soon.

I will in future refer to this model as 'my friend Tiffany'.

You better call it your friend. It's best not to anger your future overlord.

Guy was such a cowardly wuss ...

Coming from a trumper (who's hero claims he can Shoot someone on Pennsylvania Ave and not lose a vote )that just doesn't have the impact you think it does.

He is facing his accusers and being held accountable for his actions by a jury of his peers in a court of law.

Something Trumpy is too much of a coward to do.

it's almost like he planned it that way.

#2 | POSTED BY CORKY

It seems like China and Russia did the actual planning.
