The College of Cardinals must have wanted an American counterweight to Trumpf and hence this historic appointment. The new Pope survived some previous controversies.

He is progressive like the old Pope on social issues but Conservative on Church Doctrine. So he is kind of the perfect fit to replace the old Pope.

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.

Such incredible logic!

And it's the simple fact that if citizen A, who committed rape and then killed a girl, weren't here...that crime never would have happened.

So why not get rid of citizens too!

And since citizens commit crimes at a higher rates, based on your logic, we should get rid of them first!

All 50 of them?

Can you name 5 without google? Can you name 3 without google?

Without google can you name any competitions any of them won? Or what schools any of them go to?

How stupid is the Trump administration?

Every day its more sheer incompetence.

And every day they outdo themselves and surprise us with how stupid and incompetent they are.

Tax cuts, tax cuts, tax cuts. The usual rally cry from Dems who want more of our money to waste on themselves and their donors.
They just can't admit that when the tax cuts were put in place our tax revenues actually increased.
And secondly, the left keeps telling us Biden's economy was tremendous, but fail to mention that the tax cuts were in place during his administration.
There is a reason that the Democratic party took such a whooping in November.

Well golly, let's just get rid of them taxes completely and put it all on the Federal Credit Card!

Hell, let's DOUBLE military spending instead of this pathetic 20% increase!

This is how dumb your argument is.

You do remember Trump threw his hate into the Pope ring, right?

Trump in a mankini dancing around stage. Think about that for a second.

If this is considered a "Major" trade deal, I'm guessing Trump buying a pack of gum is considered a Minor Trade Deal.

We only import about $250 million in Steel from the UK and $7 million in aluminum.

"Employers are hoarding workers after difficulties finding labor during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. But that could become tougher to maintain as other data from the Labor Department on Thursday showed worker productivity declining for the first time in nearly three years in the first quarter, boosting labor costs.

The weakness in productivity, if sustained, could pressure margins for businesses at a time when they are facing higher costs from President Donald Trump's sweeping import duties.

"Companies in the face of trade war uncertainty are holding onto their workers for now," said Christopher Rupkey, chief economist at FWDBONDS. "The million-dollar question is, how long can companies tough it out as first-quarter productivity statistics show unit labor costs soared?""

From the article

There will be no appeal.

The Republican has conceded.

Apparently his lawyers think ChiliGordo is an idiot too.

BREAKING NEWS:

Donald Trump is missing from the White House.

Fox News reports the President boarded a plan for Moscow saying, "I'm just...uhhh...going out for cigarettes. Yes, cigarettes! I'll be right back! This has nothing to do with my Epstein trips or the FBI arrests... Just cigarettes and milk!" Matt Gaetz was also seen boarding the plan to allegedly help the President buy cigarettes and milk.

Pete Hegseth was heard commenting, "It only counts if they are underage, right? Right?!"

Odd.

That's 300 miles from the border.

Why aren't these being caught at the border?

Why are the borders open, Donald?

Vote Harvesting isn't Vote Fraud.

What an idiot.

You apparently didn't read the article and it shows.

#36 | Posted by chiligordo

You don't make a single argument as to why the votes shouldn't be counted.

All you did was point out which ballots were disputed.

Should we keep waiting?

The problem registrations resulted from a decade of dem control of the election board, because dems set rules to stack the deck in their favor and they "doesn't give a ---- about the constitution other than their poorly understood interpretation of the 2nd amendment."

Dems huh?

"Relevant to those voters, North Carolina's General Assembly enacted a voter identification ("ID") law in 2018, and after years oflitigation, that law took effect in 2023. But the law has never been applied to overseas military and civilian voters who cast absentee ballots. The North Carolina Board of Elections (the "State Board"), on a bipartisan and unanimous basis, exempted those voters from the voter ID law; on April 1, 2024, the State Board, pursuant to its rulemaking authority under state law, promulgated a final rule which provided that overseas military and civilian voters were not required to submit a copy of their photo ID with their absentee ballot. An identical temporary administrative rule had already been in effect for eight months before promulgation of the final rule. "

Bipartisan, Unanimous decision by the Elections Board over a year ago
Never challenged in Court or by the Legislature or Governor

But hey, maybe the war on drugs was fought in the Middle East somehow? Republican history is always a little off.

Yes yes, California so bad.

Ignore the huge successful economy and massive tourism.

Ever been to Missouri or Mississippi or Alabama or even parts of Florida and Texas? Everything you CLAIM about California is literally true for those areas.

Tariffs don't cause inflation
Bidens trillions in new spending every year caused inflation.

#153 | Posted by THEBULL

Trump spent more and is spending more.

Tariffs literally cause direct inflation.

Get a refund on that Trump U degree.

Bernie proposed that bill in 2005. He re-iterated the need to adjust rates in 2020 but never put out those numbers.
The numbers you are using are from 2022. And they are using floating tariff numbers based on import amounts from countries we don't label as "normal" trade partners and are not part of any proposal.
He never proposed tariff rates that high. Ever.
NTU isn't being honest.

#73 | Posted by Sycophant

"NTU isn't being honest."
You just said Bernie proposed that bill in 2005. You seem to be admitting that they are being honest.
But to keep with the spirit of Snoofy's request, would you-personally support the tariff rates Bernie proposed? Regardless of who proposed them? Or with regards to who proposed them?

#74 | Posted by madbomber

Reading is apparently hard for you.

Bernie didn't propose those tariffs rates. Those are floating tariff rates associated with 2022 laws and regulations based on 2022 import levels.

Bernie's 2005 bill did not contain ANY tariff rate proposals.

Quit lying.
