My last distraction for BigP…
The inept fucking incompetence of the convicted felon criminal traitor maga cunts is off the charts stupid....
With his announcement of widespread new tariffs on Wednesday, President Trump spared very few places in the world from his effort to upend global trade — not even the remote Heard Island and McDonald Islands, a sub-Antarctic Australian territory inhabited by penguins, but no people.
Make it make sense stupid filthy maga traitor cunts. We know in the ass backwards stupid fucking filthy maga traitor cunt minds it makes sense - but make it make sense to logical rational intelligent people.
We are headed for the market close with the NASDAQ off nearly 1,000 points and the Dow off more than 1,500. The S&P is off more than 250.
Meanwhile, our calamitously inept President just did what the utterly demented Laura Loomer told him to do and fired several recently employed members of his own National Security staff. Maybe Waltz is next?
The OP has taken a lot of shit for his over-the-top language here but given what Trump has been doing he's sounding pretty reasonable. This is the shortest Presidential honeymoon in history.
Now cue up the usual dimwits to scream about the Libs.
It's in the books now. Trump tanked all the major indexes by YOOGE amounts. The NAS finished off nearly 6%, down more than 1,000 points; the Dow was down almost 4%, or 1679 points; and the S&P plunged around 5%, off almost 275 points.
Basically, a vote of No-Confidence for Trump's tariffs.
Those were HIS PEOPLE Trump fired. If he had any balls he would have told Trump: “If they go, I go.” But he just sat there like a little bitch while Loony Laura Loomer ordered her little bitch Trump to fire members of Waltz’s staff.
Who should be surprised at this from someone with such a winning track record.
Are we sick of all the winning yet?
Soon they'll be adding the U.S. and possibly the world economy to his list of failures. His biggest failure yet. LOSER!

4. Trump Plaza Hotel - Trump ADMITTED in interviews that he overpaid for the old Plaza Hotel. Then he drove it deeper into debt by overspending on renovations ... even after real estate experts warned him!
.
3. Trump Shuttle - Trump was warned by experts that he could start a new airline for less than he was paying Eastern to take over their shuttle. Trump ADMITTED in interviews that he overpaid for the property. There was never a profitable month during his ownership.
.
10. NJ Generals - It wasn't just the Generals. Trump convinced the other USFL owners to help him sue the NFL for anti-trust violations. They WON the lawsuit but the jury awarded them $1 ($3 after triple damages) pointing out that the USFL's financial losses were of their making and mismanagement! E.g., Trump overpaid for talent and never produced revenue to pay them. The USFL died after that. (Trump was never charged with murdering the USFL.)
14. Trump Foundation (Charity) - forced to shut down by NYS for fraud (among other things, the Charity donated $25,000 to FL DA Pam Bondi's election campaign in exchange for which she "chose" to keep FL from participating in the law suit against Trump University, denying cheated FL residents from receiving compensation from the settlement).

The Weird Worth of 40 Wall Street Donald Trump’s most troubled real estate could soon become a slick machine to curry favor with the president. [Oct 21, 2024]
"... Its current operating income, as reflected in disclosures to its mortgage servicer, appears not to even cover its loan payments, and the building’s market value today is almost certainly less than the $114 million balance Trump will owe when the mortgage comes due next year.

… for LOSER Trump’s USFL team. It brings to mind the Washington Generals, the team that perennially lost to the Harlem Globetrotters. The Generals won 3 games against the Globetrotters and lost over 18,000 games.
Trump has about the same winning percentage in business and politics.
“Shut the fuck up penguin. Did you even say thank you? We’re tired of you taking advantage of hard working American patriots”

Response: A joke about Trump tariffs on penguin inhabited islands.

egg prices have gone down since Biden perpetrated the chicken genocide and prices went through the roof. If only a moron could accomplish this in two and a half months, then yes, Trump is a moron. A rose by any other name is still a rose. So is a genius negotiator. Sticks and stones, BigPoop.

Lefties opposed free trade for 20 years, but when Trump actually ends it, suddenly it’s a crisis.
And that’s why Democrats lost. They abandoned their principles for wokeness. They abandoned workers for trannys. They abandoned the American People for their lust for power. And put midgets in airplanes that crashed them.
The reason they put tariffs on these way outta the way places is to prevent someone setting up there as a legal entity to get around the tariffs. They wouldn't actually manufacture or even go there but simply incorporate there. It's a simple step to stop foreign entities from gaming the system.
Your argument makes no sense to me. Years ago, I had to search US Dept of Commerce import-export records of the biz competition. The records addressed Country of Origin (or shipped from), and the important matter was which borders were crossed, NOT the Corporate Address of the company itself.
.
BMW is a German company. Their US subsidiary BMW Manufacturing Co., LLC, also known as BMW Spartanburg makes cars in the US that, I think, are not subject to Trump's import tariffs (although some imported parts or components might be subject to the tariffs). The BMW Man Co, LLC can't import BMWs made in Germany and claim that are actually made by a US company (BMW Man Co, LLC) and shouldn't be tariffed. They cross Border A (out) and Border B (in) and they get tarriffed!
.
US companies (Ford, GM, etc.) making cars in Mexico or Canada or Japan have to pay tariffs on those cars if imported into the US.
.
There are probably ways to game the system but setting up an office on an island full of penguins wouldn't work. The penguins could form a corporation and export their penguin droppings (rich in phosphate) to the US for use as fertilizer. When the penguins start importing US made steel or Cadillacs or tuxedos to balance out the poop shipments and establish a dollar-for-dollar trade balance, the Trump tariffs will be removed.

This is primarily tube audio equipment like guitar amps and some studio recording gear. Tubes haven’t been used outside of niche markets since the 70’s. Gone are the days when RCA and Mullard (UK) made the finest tubes in the world. Today the only tube manufacturers that remain is the JJ factory in Slovakia, the Psvane factory in China and the Reflektor factory in Russia. I’d wager the Reflektor factory makes 60% or more of all new production tubes. The owner of the Reflektor factory is an American who also run Electro-Harmonix, based out of NYC. I mention this because the Russian sanctions caused tube prices to skyrocket. They were cut off for a time, until they figured how to get them to the United States somehow, I’m guessing through an intermediate country.
So my guess is there’s ways to game the system. And quite easily.
Why are there no tariffs on Russia and n korea?

SANCTIONS...
We don't trade with them.

No. It's because convicted felon criminal traitor loves war criminal putin. You country betraying filthy little maga traitor cunt
The United States has imposed a wide range of sanctions on Russia, primarily in response to actions such as the annexation of Crimea in 2014 and the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. These sanctions target individuals, entities, and key sectors of the Russian economy with the aim of exerting economic and political pressure. Here's an overview based on the latest available information:
- **Economic Sanctions**: The U.S. has implemented measures like asset freezes and trade restrictions. Notably, around $350 billion in Russian foreign currency reserves—roughly half of its total reserves—have been frozen. Major Russian banks, holding nearly 80% of the country's banking sector assets, have faced full blocking sanctions, cutting them off from the U.S. financial system and restricting their ability to raise capital in U.S. markets.
- **Financial Sector Restrictions**: Several Russian financial institutions, including the Central Bank of Russia and large banks like Sberbank, have been targeted. Some have been excluded from the SWIFT international payment system, though limited access remains for energy-related transactions. The U.S. has also imposed sanctions on financial elites and oligarchs, freezing their assets in the U.S. and imposing travel bans.
- **Energy Sector Measures**: The U.S. has banned imports of Russian oil, gas, and energy products into the country. Additionally, alongside G7 partners, it has set a $60-per-barrel price cap on Russian crude oil exports to reduce Moscow's revenue while maintaining global energy supply stability. Recent actions include sanctions on major oil producers like Gazprom Neft and Surgutneftegas, as well as over 180 vessels in Russia’s “shadow fleet” used to evade oil sanctions.
- **Export Controls**: The U.S. has imposed stringent export restrictions on high-tech goods, cutting off more than half of Russia’s high-tech imports. This includes semiconductors, encryption software, and other components critical to Russia’s military and industrial base, particularly targeting the defense, aerospace, and shipbuilding sectors.
- **Individual and Entity Sanctions**: Over 16,500 sanctions have been imposed since 2022, targeting more than 2,300 individuals and entities, including Russian officials like Vladimir Putin and Sergei Lavrov, oligarchs, and companies supporting Russia’s war efforts. Recent measures have also hit third-country enablers, such as firms in China, Türkiye, and the UAE, that supply dual-use goods like microelectronics to Russia.
- **Defense and Military-Industrial Base**: Sanctions have been expanded to degrade Russia’s military capabilities, targeting drone production, missile manufacturers, and entities like Rosatom subsidiaries that support the military-industrial complex.
- **Sanctions Evasion Crackdown**: The U.S. has taken steps to counter Russia’s evasion tactics, such as sanctioning networks facilitating illicit trade through countries like China and imposing secondary sanctions risks on foreign financial institutions dealing with designated Russian entities.
These measures have evolved over time, with significant escalations in 2022 and further refinements in 2025 under both the Biden and Trump administrations. The sanctions aim to limit Russia’s ability to fund its war in Ukraine, weaken its economy, and deter further aggression, though their effectiveness remains debated as Russia has adapted by redirecting trade to countries like India and China.
