"by offering tax incentives to companies to move their factories here."

Who took advantage of them? Surely we can agree that it's only smart if it actually worked.

So ... ..who took advantage of it?

Congrats, you can make that distinction.

farmers have been doing this to each other forever.

The EPA, immigration, etc.....farmers are competitive and petty just like everyone else.

-we have one of these clowns in my neighborhood.

Yep, he's just like the clown that was chirping about civil rights 60 years ago.

-His "American Dream" is blaming immigrants for everyone's problems, and hating that trans people exist.

That's what he does.

Before that, it was gays and blacks.

Before that it was something else.

They'll always be blaming someone for something......"happiness" isn't a construct that's easy to understand.

All people are happy or unhappy about something or someone.

But the happiness that matters in this context......is are they unhappy with the GOP? Nope....they're still happy with the GOP.

"I drove thru the Deep South year before last, and the poor people there already appeared to be like zombies; shuffling thru a joy-free life in a stupor of despair."

-Corky

now you're deflecting to Southern states vs the deep south (I'm not sure you can actually make that distinction, but you can impress me by trying)

-I know you are having trouble these days as your Party is led by a traitor, but facts are facts.

again, assigning your frustration and ignorance to others because you're lonely.

I have zero trouble understanding exactly what Trump is.

My party isn't some club I belong to. You see it that way because you have no friends. You imagine you have friends in the democratic party because........you're a democrat. It means something to you to feel as though you belong to something.

You belong to nothing.

I vote in the primary that matters where I live. I don't belong to a club or group that defines me in any way. I know you struggle with that.....but facts are facts.

thanks for making my point for me. The deep south has been a -------- for longer than you've been alive.

it didn't get worse suddenly when you drove through in last week.

"they aren't any different from Joe 6-pack other than the Trump sign in the yard."

demonstrably true and you're living proof.

You and a host of others here who aren't any different in any way from Joe 6-pack except for what you do on election day.

I'm not talking about the entire left....just the ------- like you who post that demonstrably false statement over and over.

"One of these days your avg rwinger is going to realize that they are not now and are never going to be one of the very wealthy that this could actually help in the future."

so many things wrong with this statement.

It's been spewed forever by the likes of Corky who pretend they don't understand Joe 6-pack and that he doesn't think he's wealthy nor that he's going to be wealthy.

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.

He's fine with the fact that he's not wealthy nor going to be. What in the hell is he doing to change that? nothing.

You know why that falsehood keeps getting trotted out by furious people like corky?

Because the corky's of the world can't accept the reality that they aren't any different from Joe 6-pack other than the Trump sign in the yard.

In every other sense of it, they are precisely like Joe 6-pack.

not born on 3rd base
not wealthy
not going to be wealthy
doesn't possess the skills, worth ethic, talents, etc to get further than where they are

corky's statement above is pure rage talking

-The Deep South could have changed... other parts of the South have done much better.

LOL

-Did JeffyB refuse to service you this morning?

I can always count on you to service me when needed. And even scream Jeff's name at the same time.

-I drove thru the Deep South year before last, and the poor people there already appeared to be like zombies; shuffling thru a joy-free life in a stupor of despair.

Oh please...you just described the status of the Deep South for your entire life.

And I know you're old......

"Red areas" and "government-supported" are pretty broad terms.

It's a fair point but it's not very qualified. Are the specific govt programs being impacted by cuts the same ones that disproportionately serve red areas?

I would assume they do but I don't really know. Trump is such a spiteful bastard I would assume he's carved out cuts to hurt blue areas more. He signed a tax plan that was intended on doing exactly that. Hurt blue state tax payers more than red state tax payers. I would think these cuts have that stench attached to them as well.

-But I take solace in the fact it will hurt you as much, and likely much worse, than the rest of us.

I think in a just world, the people who voted for and supported this should bear the pain.

But I don't see how that's going to happen. That the MAGAs will be hurt "much worse" than the rest of us.

It's a wish, an aspiration, a desire.....but I don't see it as a "fact".

Thanks!

"more than 11,000 additional TB patients are estimated to have died in the two months since almost all USAID funding froze on January 24"

Isn't USAID what the US sends to other countries?

what does it have to do with Kansas City or even our borders? At least since January of this year?

-Trans issues sunk the Democrats party.

that's on issue that didn't help...but I think it was specifically the sports participation portion. Many democrats were (deep down) against biological men competing in women's sports. It was cringing.

-The dems lost due to 1 reason.

people need things simplified to the point they believe such tripe.

There is no way on earth it's due to 1 reason. 15 reasons minimum.

never never never never never never..........borrow money to buy a car.

If you're asking me, I don't know what republicans are calling it.

I'm just focusing on what Spain wants and why.

what's the definition of "the campaign"? It doesn't start until the convention? I don't know but I suspect the campaign is defined broader than that...meaning it starts long before the convention.

and nobody really cares about that claim anyway. He WAS critical and NOW he supports him specifically because of these tariffs.

Is that accurate?

-Before, or after Fain spoke at the Republican National Convention?

before, when he spoke at the Democratic national convention

-Meanwhile, Honda, Nissan, Toyota, Subaru, and Mitsubishi all have plants in the US.

does this tariff apply to cars those companies make here? And by make I mean assemble.

-A tariff is a tax on Americans.

on cars made here?
