So, I don't know that much about tariffs and trade wars, but I know that even the Republicans are getting upset with Neelix on this one.

I'd be a lying if I didn't say I enjoyed a bit of schadenfruede seeing their right-wing interests be harmed by the monster-baby they empowered.

There's a horse loose in the hospital, and just because you let him in their doesn't mean that your sister going in for an ultrasound is safe from a kick to the stomach.

Afaik your car-industry is 100% reliant on mexican imports. Almost every single part is made down there. Good luck with substituting that with local non-existant production and a workforce lacking the skills. It takes years to build that capacity and skill.

Yeah that's the impression I got when I was too lazy to change the radio station in time to avoid news updates.

Maybe if House Speaker Janeway and the Democrat Treason Weasels would actually try to pass reforms* to deal with the border crisis, Trump wouldn't have to do this.

Instead, the Treason Weasels unanimously voted to reward previous waves of illegal aliens, which would do nothing but make the border crisis worse.

*No, Fuzzy, Yuka, Draco, and Worffan, mass amnesty and open borders is not immigration reform.

I really hate hearing Pelosi being patronized so badly. First by regressive left-wingers call her too old, and now right-wingers like you. Does she endorse the genocide through inaction? No? Then she's obviously not Janeway.

No, she just endorses human trafficking and people dyeing out in the desert through inaction.

You do realize, don't you, that I am only responding to Fuzzy constantly referring to Trump as Neelix?

Oh. I see. If it helps, I don't call him Neelix. Sadly, I was not immune to this. I gave Sanders all sorts of bad names in 2016.

The tariffs are a stupid idea that is either the result of a complete misunderstanding of reality or is yet another smokescreen diversion.

And continue to repeat misinformation and make baseless accusations in 2019.
