Liberation Day - what were you liberated from?
dgrochester55 replied to SectionC3's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
I'm 2 for 3, having also blocked C-section and the quack. Haven't done 4th and long yet because sometimes reading their posts is entertaining in a way that is similar to watching a bad American Idol or AGT audition. -
Liberation Day - what were you liberated from?

It's funny because they would have you believe that as soon as Trump was done with the tariff announcements at 4:30, that the executives made a snap decision at 4:35 to lay thousands off and announce it within an hour. The reality is that it takes at least months to plan this and the the layoffs plans were already in place, most likely before Trump even started. Was it due to Biden's policies, anticipation of Trump's incoing policies, or a combination of both? I couldn't know without looking into it more, but this is the equivalent of them trying to say that Trump didn't add a tariff to Russia because he loves Putin instead of the real reason of them already having sanctions. TDS people have a real issue to latch on to now to use as a chance to try convince others to come back to them and can't stay out of their own way by coming up with these skewed and fear mongering propaganda pieces. -

I was liberated from pointless troll spam two weeks ago when I blocked Csection3. -
If this rule applied, I would have had to call you stupid about 20 times today. In order to be more accurate, what your sentence should have said to better reflect your stance, "if you say anything that I do not agree with, I will continue to insult you like a child because I am not capable of participating in society like a civilized person"

But you don't understand, Roundy looks at the data(i.e. Googled "dow crashing because of Trump" and found the tweetable tidbit that best matched his agenda.) We would have never known that the market went down if not for him. And since we are not macroeconomics experts like him,(honorary degree in dunning-kruger studies at Google U) we are all idiots. Otherwise, we would have known that this was the last day of the market ever and that there is a 100% guarantee of failure because he doesn't like it. Now, I've expressed my own concern and stated that I do not like what happened yesterday, because it is too much too fast, but that isn't good enough for the TBD TDS TMI troll gang because you are either all in on orange man bad 100% of the time or you are a MAGA. Perfect example of TDS mentality. I did express critcism of yesterday, but since it didn't not include panic, hate and fearmongering, it wasn't good enough. That is why you are a TDS person. Edit: Looks like the fraudulent, opioid prescribing quack is still taking pot shots at me even though I blocked it three months ago.

Nope, I stated that the dems have yet to come up with something, not that "only Trump could" stop twisting my words to fit your agenda. I also explicitly said that I did not like what happened yesterday, but you conveniently must have skimmed over that part. You call me stupid, but your reading comprehension indicates a pot and kettle scenario. If you can't have a conversation without an insult then shut the hell up, sit down and let the adults talk.

MO of the online posting left. If you look at any given online discussion, on the surface it looks like 90% agree with them, but in reality, it is the same three to ten people with duplicate accounts posting over and over and over again like it is a full time job. It's even worse on places like reddit or news site forums. At least here, you know that everyone is a real person since the primary purpose of the site is for supporting a sports team.

This comment might carry some weight if the Democrat party didn't just finish a two year campaign solely focused on how bad the other guy was and still blame the past administration for things going wrong three years into Biden's term. Don't set expectations and rules for your opposition that you aren't willing to follow yourself.

These tariffs are way too much too fast. I know that Trump is banking on this resulting in negotation and better rates, but a trade war seems to be the more likely result, I do not listen to fox or CNN when deciding how a President is doing in the economy, I look at monthly expenses, retirement savings, and how my family and friends at various income levels are doing . I do not like what I have seen in the last three months, so I am not pleased about the direction with tariffs so far. What that being said, I will give it more time because it takes more than one decision to fix the mess that was created.. In case Trump's ideas fail, what does your party have to offer to address the debt if they get power back? At some point, the US is going to have to pay the piper. I would rather have that on our terms instead of on China's. What would be the left's plan to fix it? I've heard nothing from the left but "tax the rich more.", but this doesn't work as the only option because there are still trillions in debt after you've drained them and the rich know how to work around heavy taxes. What I have seen from Democrat candidates over the past 20 years are promises to the people that sound great on paper, but add trillions to the debt. The Republicans have done this to an extent too, but dems treat the US budget like a Beverly Hills teen girl on a shopping spree with daddy's credit card. Your last post added nothing to the table. If TDS people do not like what happened yesterday, great, I agree. How about offering an alternative instead of whining and saying the same exact one liners and cheap tweetable propaganda that we have seen every day since 2016? We know that you all hate Trump. My question to you or the others is what is your proposed method for turning around the economy, helping the US bring in more than they spend and stopping the cycle of increased debt?

Nothing like nice neutral poll questions from c-section 3. No slant in those at all.

I see the value of tariffs in small doses, but personally think that this is way too much too fast. We didn't get to this level of debt overnight, and it will take more than one decision or even one year of decisions to get us out. The level of success or failure for this will depend on other countries and whether they are willing to negotiate or whether they call his bluff and retaliate (I wouldn't put it past far left celebrities and extremist activists to beg other country leaders to do the latter.) If it is the first scenario, he looks brilliant, if it is not, it could create a mess and essentially guarantee democrat wins in two and four years. Since we were all told to "give it more time", three years into Biden's term, I can give it at least a couple of months before i pass full judgment.

In 2020, they said that Trump was cruel and heartless for not giving every person $6000 multiple times in a stimulus package instead of $1400. Then 3 years later, it was his fault for spending recklessly, deliberately being oblivious to the fact that it would have been worse if they got what they wanted. There is no reasoning with them.
