I expected the Trump tariffs to be a disaster. I'm puzzled by what I'm not seeing.
They don't seem to have harmed the US economy in any way I can notice with my eyeballs or in the statistics. Business activity is booming, unemployment seems to be low, household consumption is up, stock market seems to be doing fine.
Is my whole model of trade and economics broken? How is he getting away with this?

What is even the point of BAP if you've read his book and followed him somewhat for 10 years and it's still not clear what his political goals are / would be?

My dad never had a drug talk with me but he did tell me a story about guy who was an insane athlete and locally famous who took some sort of psychedelics and cut his own balls off outside of a bar one night. And I've learned since that this kind of thing isn't all that uncommon.

His eyes were a striking blue, like blue Gatorade, and his cheeks were flushed, like red Gatorade. His demeanor was mysterious, yet refreshing, like yellow Gatorade. And his shirt was the hue of orange Gatorade

Our message to corporate America is simple: We’re not going to let you lay off American workers so you can replace them with cheap foreign labor.

If you voted for Trump in 2024 expecting him to fix everything in two years then you’re an idiot.
If you voted for Trump in 2024 expecting him to fight like hell for four years then you owe him your vote again.

I've been in there four times and honestly I just didn't look all that much. By the fourth baby, the hospital staff barely bothered us.

5 years ago, I thought Tucker Carlson was the poster child of the Anglo-American hard right.
He turned out to be the poster child of the kooky and conspiratorial right. He's allergic to positional continuity, he sees demons and believes theories without evidence.

It's funny because amidst all this Indian talk, this season's Big Brother show's best player is a second gen Indian dude who is more charismatic and athletic than most. He's been locked way in the house for months but he recently just said how grateful he is to be in America.

I boned enough girls like this at a previous job that HR had a talk with me about dating coworkers.
Women this age always say “oh I’ve dated X number of men”. It’s a lie. They haven’t had a string of solid relationships they’ve been progressively used and abused worse and worse until they finally clam up.

The political compass is literally crazy people who destroy and non-crazy people who build.
Here’s a political compass showing where happy and unhappy people sit. GSS 1990-2024.
In both sexes, very happy people sit right on economics and lean socially conservative. Unhappy people sit left.
ALT Political compass of US adults by happiness and sex, GSS 1990-2024. Men are blue, women pink. Very happy people sit upper right, economically right and socially conservative. Not too happy people sit left. Men sit right of women at every level. Unhappy women are furthest left. Source: GSS 1990-2024, NORC

Cry all you want but the American right would have nothing without Trump. We would still be led by guys like Jeb Bush and Mitt Romney.
I've gotten mad at Trump before, especially after the pullout from Minneapolis. But the guy is still the greatest president in decades, and I shiver to think how bad things would be if Harris/Walz had won instead.
