@Stupid Fitz

Outline for us in detail why this is a bad deal.

Also, please explain why all of sudden you're so concerned about Tariffs . . . when Tariffs have been around since forever.

How dumb do you have to be to make this argument and think it's persuasive?

I wasn’t talking to you and how is what I said an argument? I am asking perpetually raged up StupidFitz to walk me through why it’s a bad deal and why he’s all pissed off about things that have been in place for a very long time in one form or another.

Of course we all know why on the latter.

You don't see how you're implicitly and inductively arguing that (a) Trump is implementing an economic policy that involves the increased use of tariffs, (b) tariffs have been around for over a century, THEREFORE (c) not loudly objecting to the use of tariffs until now makes one a hypocrite. ?

sonofdaxjones · « **Reply #1904 on:** July 28, 2025, 02:55:49 PM »

. . . yes, that's #blueanon SOP. You literally didn't give a single crap when your boy Barrack was deporting millions, you didn't give a single crap about tariffs in the past. There's a billion receipts of the leadership of your movement railing on illegal immigrants and being pissed off about trade deals.

Now all of sudden you're all out of your mind about deporting illegals and tariffs (among many things you infants are melting down about)

It's 1000% driven by hyper-partisanship.

United Health really struggling and dropping medicaid plans. Current rates aren't covering costs in certain areas. Could be a big deal. Healthcare costs already out of control and this will likely spike them even higher.

German Chancellor nearly starts crying when talking about how badly the EU trade deal is going hurt Germany

Then again, these are the same people who when Don Trump told them to stop buying energy from Vlad Putin (as any Putin puppet would do), they laughed.

They ain't laughing now.

As an aside, it's

to see @Stupid Fitz (who just rages out like a child and is mentally incapable of actually explaining what anything actually means) now all of sudden all up in arms about United Healthcare when United Healthcare has been assholes since forever.

Autopen is just over in the corner going nuts, under it's Dr. Jill and Hunter provided AI prompts, and still hasn't been able to be brought under control yet.

Inflation still high, jobs growth non existent, GDP flatlined. Things are going quite well.

Stabilization is the term you are looking for. We have stabilized at this shitty place.

LOL. I disagree with this person though. I don't think any of them are smart enough to think of doing this on purpose.
