It's all transactional.

Seventy percent of the illegal weapons seized from criminals in Mexico come from your country. We do not produce these weapons, nor do we consume synthetic drugs. Tragically, it is in our country that lives are lost to the violence resulting from meeting the drug demand in yours.

Better to sue the shipping company into oblivion

So, this is what you do to your #1trade partner

• Level 100% tarrifs on their goods

• dump millions of deportees on them

• invade them with military

IDK about you, but to me it sounds a little counter productive

Do you actually spend Thanksgiving going through your outrage journals looking for something to be upset about?

Actually, it is even illegal then but not prosecuted it seems.

I am promoting the idea of calling Musk President. The sooner ingrained, the sooner the orange narcissist will become even more unhinged leading to the inevitable fallout that will happen in any case.

There is no enforcement mechanism in this law. The crafters of the bill are conveniently leaving it up to the local institutions. So, it’s basically going to be a “rat on your friends” situation, just like Nazi Germany.

Soon Vindman will be a Congressman and President Musk's threats will be illegal

Bibi getting ready to cash Trump's blank check in Gaza.

"But Trump has declined to sign a separate agreement with the General Services Administration that would have given his team access to secure government offices and email accounts, in part because it would require that the president-elect limit contributions to $5,000 and reveal who is donating to his transition effort....

.....Trump’s team on Friday formally told the GSA that they would not utilize the government office space blocks from the White House reserved for their use, or government email accounts, phones and computers during the transition.

The White House said it does not agree with Trump’s decision to forgo support from the GSA, but is working on alternate ways to get Trump appointees the information they need without jeopardizing national security. Federal agencies are receiving guidance on Tuesday on how to share sensitive information with the Trump team without jeopardizing national security or non-public information....For instance, agencies may require in-person meetings and document reviews since the Trump team has declined to shift to using secure phones and computers."

Other reporting indicates that they will still not be using the FBI to conduct background checks on potential nominees.

No more guacamole for TexMex

AND.. let's deport those in the US doing the back breaking work of picking the domestic supply... double victory for MAGA

I believe it was Winston Churchill who said that John Foster Dulles was a bull who traveled with his own China shop.

He also quipped: "Dull, Duller, Dulles"

The SCOTUS immunity decision will echo even more

Hmmm. My idea of the process is a little different. Embedded CIA reports to the DOD on daily to and fro of the war. What the Ukrainians needed yesterday isn't necessarily what they will need tomorrow. Wars evolve. The DOD takes this information and projects future needs leading to a budget recommendation to Congress. Congress creates a budget bill and passes it. Johnson sitting on that bill, BTW, put Ukraine behind the 8 ball. Biden uses that allocation to buy weapons per the DOD recommendations. Rules placed on weapons use, such as not using US missiles on Russian ground, are meant to stop escalation into NATO entering into the conflict. In fact when that rule ochanged there was an escalation, but not involving NATO, yet.

Basically called out F1 on their BS. At the same time, he had his own demons trying to win big money on an AI bet.

You know, they had so many children's deaths in Samoa they ran out of small coffins. They had to ask the world for assistance.

It will suck, but this is what America voted for. Choke down the shit sandwich my fellow countrymen and women; this is what you wanted. Eat the shit, and eat it hard.
