No matter which side it is, it always makes me sad when one party demonized anything good that comes from the other party. America was never founded on this predication and anyone who celebrates it is just hurting everyone.

But my serious issue I have is with liberals and wanting to cheap prices in trade for worker oppression. This is exactly what liberals are mad with the China situation. Liberals are crying that prices are going to go up, which is true. But, the reason for it is solely because to produce things ourselves, it costs more. And it costs more due to labor. Labor isn't the only reason but it is such a significant portion of ANY costs of production that it will always be a factor. So, liberals are turning a blind eye to worker oppression in the name of cheap products. They don't seem to care about the lack of child labor laws, fair pay, worker conditions, etc. as long as it isn't happening in America. And that's just sad.

What makes it even harder to understand is that liberals have been on the "America is a rich nation" for quite a while now. Liberals say there is no reason we can't provide a living wage. There is no reason we can't provide a basic income. There is no reason we can't take care of illegals. Etc. Etc. So, if America is so rich that we can do all of this, why can't we absorb higher prices in the name of workers' rights? I don't like that costs have to go up but I'm willing to trade it to ensure the people making the products are treated humanely. And, while the situation may not be as exaggerated as some outlets make it out to be, China DOES oppress a very large portion of their manufacturing jobs. They work in conditions and for wages in which liberal heads would explode if America were doing it.

This is my only gripe with the tariff opposition that liberals have. You can make up all the excuses you want but, in the end, supporting China and the trade relations we have with them today means you are supporting kids working 12 hours a day, people sleeping in bunk-bed cots in tiny rooms between shifts, etc. This isn't made up. This is all real. Continue to ignore it all you want but if you feel we are rich enough to give everyone money for nothing, then you inherently agree that we are rich enough to spend a few more dollars on products (unless you actually realize that Biden already increased inflation so much that our rich wiggle room has run out).

It's hilarious to watch Trump say he's so sick of waste but then turns around and does something so meaningless that requires a lot of costs. It's not weaponized liberal hypocrisy bad, but it's almost just as stupid.

"Thank God there's nothing else for house republicans to focus their attention on.
How much are they getting paid to sit back while Trump runs this nation through executive orders?"

Almost EXACTLY word-for-word what Reps were saying about Biden his first week in office. I knew it wouldn't take but a few seconds to find a prime example of that weaponized liberal hypocrisy.

Again, if you don't like a POTUS abusing EO privileges, stop your own side from doing it and THEN worry about other people. Or, will you put money on the table right now that when a Dem is voted in the POTUS seat again that he/she will not use EOs? You can't have it both ways.

"I'll bet you already say "Gulf of America"."

I think it's a ridiculous waste of time and money. But, yeah, proving my point above, you make up arguments and assumptions just to have something to whine about.

"You gonna volunteer for the invasion of Greenland?"

Calling out things that aren't debatable because of the ample evidence that is out there doesn't, in any way even tangetially, provide any evidence that that statement applies to me. Again, more proof you just make up things to argue instead of answering to reality.

I really would love to say it's not your fault because the Dem party has groomed you so well, but it is. My turn to make an assumption...you are probably someone who has an IQ over 50 and can make reasonable conclusions when partisan narratives aren't involved. You should do that more instead of immediately name calling and demonizing someone who brings up a point that doesn't fit well with yours but has plenty of evidence that proves it is a fair statement. It may not be 100% perfect or apply to every perspective, but it's demonstrably a fair statement.

"Immigrants have a higher rate of violent criminal activity than Citizens is an ideological purity test for Republicans."

Unfortunately, it's your own myopic, incorrect logic that is making that point. For Republicans, the idea is that if those illegals (remember, Reps are against illegals, not immigrants like you keep trying to incorrectly elude to) weren't here in the first place, the violent crimes wouldn't be committed. So, let's say Americans commit a random number of violent crime, like 10%. Then, you add in just 1% from illegals, that makes it 11%.

So, in a Rep's mind, whether you agree or not, the thinking is that the 1% wouldn't even exist if the illegals weren't here. There is no purity test or random, made-up litmus you try to put into the conversation just because of partisan hate and no real logic or anything. It's the simple fact that if illegal A, who committed rape and then killed a girl, weren't here...that crime never would have happened.

In essence, all liberals are doing is trivializing these violent crimes done by illegals. In fact, liberals fight waaaaaaaay more for the innocent person who may be arrested incorrectly than they do for getting rid of the illegal who committed rape, murder, etc. And this isn't even debatable, it's ALL OVER the media in every outlet, not just partisan outlets.

So, as usual with people who are blinded by partisan hate that they can't understand bad logic, you are making up an argument and then debating it yourself instead of actually listening to the other side, understanding where they are coming from, and then forming logical conclusions. In the 1990s, this was a huge problem with Reps. The pendulum has shifted very far to the left now.

What is the most hilarious part about all of the tariff stuff is that liberals are inherently now agreeing that credit card companies should be able to charge whatever interest they want. Because, hey, you depend on them so you can buy stuff and you are OK that they then charge whatever they want in an unfair relationship because you want stuff.

Democrat logic is so hypocritically myopic that it's a wonder they can make it out the front door every day. I mean, it's easy for people like Sanders who are wealthy to have Democrats love him but hate wealthy people so it's not wonder their hypocrisy is the Democrat party's guiding light now.

It's incredibly sad that Reps are now proving they are the sane people of this country. That's how far the liberal party has devolved. I know the pendulum will swing the other way at some point but this is the longest in my lifetime I've ever seen it swing to one extreme side for so long that I'm starting to get worried.

So, what number are we at now? I think it's definitely above 1000 in a row at this point, which is the number of things that California and liberals blame on everything and everyone else but themselves. I haven't seen a liberal take any true credit for why something went bad, especially in CA.

And, as a person in the middle, all I can say is that even if liberals are right about many of them not being their fault, once you desensitize the country to believing that you will not take blame for anything then everything is suspect. There are good and bad to anything either side does. Liberals, because vanity owns their souls, just can't accept that everything they do isn't perfect. Again, another reason why Trump was able to voted in twice.

Omg, we get it liberals. Everything protestors do that meet the liberal narrative is absolutely OK. This includes the looting and rioting done by BLM (and violence against others for just being there with a sign, btw). This includes the blocking of students trying to get to classes. And everything else.

As long as a group is protesting what liberals agree with, there are no laws. It is all fair game. The First Amendment doesn't matter.

And since there is ample evidence to prove all of that, it's not even debatable. If you don't like it, do something about it instead of supporting and encouraging it.

It's funny to watch liberals celebrate discrimination because it's a type of discrimination they agree with.

You mean like the Dem party backing prominent leaders who have spewed hate against several different races for many years now?

Just because you are OK with racism that fits your narrative doesn't mean that being hypocritical against racism that doesn't meet your narrative is OK.

Kind of a stupid argument. Using this logic, EVERY country in the world that doesn't spend money they don't have on this topic is then also killing the world's poorest children.

But yeah, America bad. Dems have gone so far off the deep end that it's no wonder they are fighting their own now. The fact that moderate liberals haven't broken away from them is amazing. It happened to Reps and the Tea Party came along and disrupted things that caused the Rep party to swing back moderate. Unfortunately, it was right after that the Dems became extreme but, so far, there hasn't been a correction back to moderate. And, because of that, a guy like Trump is able to be elected not once but freaking twice.

"Fun fact...executive orders are not laws."

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh man. I've been waiting to see this from liberals. Especially from the same liberals who demonized Reps for not wanting to follow Biden's EOs. Man oh man is it satisfying to see the squirming. Although it's terrible for the country, so there's that. But from a personal level, seeing either side eat their own crap is just satisfying.

If you don't like EOs. If you don't think EOs should be followed. If you hate on someone for putting EOs out. THEN STOP YOUR OWN FREAKING SIDE FROM USING THEM! On day one, Biden signed several EOs that went against the law and Reps whined like babies. Clinton signed over 300 EOs. Obama did over 200. And for every one of them, liberals were happy. Then all of a sudden someone else does it and boooooo hoooooo whine whine whine cry cry cry.

It's just like the filibuster issue. Dems did it extensively when W was in office. Then Reps started doing it just as much and Dems cried like wittle fwuffcakes.

Do any of you ever get tired of being wrong in terms of your hypocrisy? Do you even care? If you are one who actually thinks that you aren't being hypocritical to a degree that is hurting our country, you don't count. You are just as bad as any politician you dislike in America.

Some of you are so myopic that you can't even understand basic logic. Trump said Ukraine has no cards. Trump just gave them a card. Ukraine is much better off for it. It helps both countries.

This strategy is what makes true allies. Liberals have no idea what that means based on how terribly they want to treat our closest allies so I'm not really surprised by the comments here. But it's still sad to see.

This is going to happen more and more and liberals have only themselves to blame. When you fact check others but ABSOLUTELY REFUSE to accept fact checks on yourself, it's going to ruffle feathers. Hypocrisy does that. Since liberals are weaponizing hypocrisy now, and then coming up with stupid articles like this, it's so easy to see their strategy. A 5th grader could see this tactic for what it is.

Regardless of partisan politics, what I find mostly hilarious about all of this is that Biden had huge stock market dips in his term and liberals went nuts on cons for even trying to make it an issue. It used to be fun to watch the parties do this. Now it's just sad considering we are so deep in debt and liberals want us to keep accumulating debt...or at least that's what their actions are saying.

"Everything else is and will be Biden's fault per Trump and his sycophants."

Kind of like Biden and Harris blaming Trump for everything wrong with the economy THREE YEARS AFTER HE WAS NOT IN OFFICE ANYMORE. And Obama blaming W EVEN DURING HIS SECOND TERM (but even more hilariously he kept and even extended most of W's legislation regarding the economy during his terms)!

These statements are not hypothetical; they are easily researched and proven. So many of you are so hypocritical beyond any debate and still do it which just provides more evidence you are doing it on purpose and weaponizing hypocrisy. And you will just cry but, but, but orange man bad...Reps don't agree with us so they bad...wah wah wah...this is different because waaaaaah. Just remember, no matter how much you cry about it, it doesn't change reality.

""By placing Krebs and SentinelOne in the crosshairs, the President is signaling that cybersecurity professionals whose findings do not align with his narrative risk having their businesses and livelihoods subjected to spurious and retaliatory targeting, the same bullying tactic he has recently used against law firms," the letter reads.

And the SAME bullying done by liberals who destroy businesses, loot and riot (and cause violence against people), and go to judge's houses and cause any number of violations and disruption. I mean, let's not just stop at what fits your narrative. Let's be real and honest here and call out everyone that matches your exact intent.

"America's efforts to remove immigrants at all costs is putting us under the control of a surveillance state run by tech companies who have heavily donated to the Trump administration for the privilege."

No, not it's not. More fearmongering by the party in power to try to convince everyone that the country is bad when it's no better or worse than the last time Dems were in power. In fact, the only thing that is really devolving our nation are the partisan fearmongerers that think everything that happens they don't agree with is the devil's work.

We are becoming a nation that Clinton envisioned. One that recognizes we are a nation of immigrants but we are also a nation of laws. Please tell me where in the law it states that someone who crosses the border illegally and has a child with cancer is covered by law to be given a free pass for everything.

The fact remains the same. Dems ignore laws they don't like when they have power. Reps ignore laws they don't like when they have power. Both sides whine like babies about it. The only real different between the two is that liberals have, for the last 10ish years, turned hypocrisy into a weapon. Which is a big reason why they lost so bad last election. Come back closer to center and own your faults and Dems will be in power for a very long time.

"You notice immediately all the darker blue color states are low-education, low quality of life states.
He's even "underwater' in Florida!"

Um, apparently you haven't read EVEN LIBERAL outlet rankings of education in each state. Florida is near the top in all of them.

It's a shame partisan hate controls so many minds. Letting a party turn you into a sheep should be discouraged, not encouraged.

[insert all of the same excuses for low scores that liberals use when a Dem is POTUS]

That's one of the easiest questions to answer. Crypto is a gold mine for shady rich people. Has been for some time. Even Mayweather got into it because of how lucrative it is...and he openly touts everything he does is for money which says everything you need to know.

Anyone who hasn't gotten on the crypt train is leaving a lot of money behind. I've gained quite a lot from it. You just have to know the cycles of each type and know when to buy and sell. It's actually incredibly simple and it is more certain than any other type of investment other than real estate. Everything is always a gamble but crypto has shown more trend stability than even real estate has in some perspectives. I only do about 10% of my portfolio in it and the rest in traditional stocks/ETFs, but that 20% outgains my much larger stock premiums/dividends significantly.

When you get rid of all the bias and spin in the explanations given by this article (I mean, they don't even bring up compound interest as a VERY relevant piece of the puzzle in savings over time...something even an Econ freshman knows), you come down to the same fact that is impossible to get around. No matter what you do, prices will skyrocket for American consumers. You want more corporate tax? Guess who pays for that...it isn't the corporations. It's the consumer. Try coming up with a valid solution instead of spewing trash that has already been proven IN REALITY BY OTHER COUNTRIES that does not work and only causes more problems.

In the end, no matter what we do, to stop our debt from making us insolvent, it's going to take DRASTIC changes that WILL impact Americans negatively. While liberals are content with pushing the problem down the road, Reps at least have crossed the line and committed political suicide to try to fix the problem. Liberals just want to live in their fantasy land of solutions that don't work but sound good because they meet our ideology.

Of course, DR lib kids will just immediately resort to name calling. Which just proves my point anyways, so carry on.

"We'll be required to wear powdered wigs soon. Unless you fall crosswise on Trump's Color Chart, which would dictate chains as a substitute."

Please provide evidence of your claims. I have yet to see Trump put anyone in chains, much less anyone of color. Please provide real-world evidence and not some rhetorical, highly-contextual partisan hate that only serves to spread more hate.

This is almost word-for-word what my reply was on DR years ago when Obama was being accused of catering just to black people, so you can't claim hypocrisy on my part. I prefer balance and not spreading hate. Looks like you DR lib kids want no balance and for hate to rule this country.

Everyone wants convenience until their data is breached, then they want to blame others for offering conveniences that can't be 100% protected (no system is 100%).

In other words, people are stupid.

"Chatfield was on a list of senior military officers targeted as "woke" by the conservative American Accountability Foundation, which sent a letter to Hegseth saying that "purging the woke from the military is imperative."

Now, disagreeing with fighting against wokeness is not in question here. The question that has to be asked here, if you are trying to spread propaganda that Trump is sexist or discriminatory, is whether or not he is only targeting those who are of non-white, non-male persuasions. Yet, the quote above says "list", which infers there are more people involved. If that list is only comprised of Trump's disliked demographic, as you are insinuating, then you may have a point. Yet, all I can find is that he fired 10 people so far and one was a woman and one was black. I didn't try too hard to go through the list and figure out the demographic of each; however, based on what I have seen, it's VERY apparent that Trump is firing based on wokeness mentality and NOT because of discrimination.

So, the real question then is why are liberals spreading demonstrably false/fabricated insinuations about someone when they themselves claim to want to stop the spread of false/fabricated news? Again, whether or not you believe wokeness is a fireable offense is not in question so you have to take out your obvious partisan bias in order to be objective.
