Trump tariffs create budget surplus

[Into the Night]

If you are talking about yardwork...I know exactly what you mean.

I still do all of ours...and we've gotten hammered with storms and near tornado winds twice during the last two weeks. I've got lots of mowing to do...the property is not very wide, but it is deep. And there are several rather large branches that broke off, but are still stuck in the trees.

I've got to walk under those trees to do the mowing and edging.

Try not to hope one drops on my head.

Knock 'em down.

 

[Into the Night]

THANK GOD $$$$ can be made from thin air! Where does all this tariff money come from? Why from HEAV'N ABOVE! It just APPEARS by fiat!

Reductions in spending, combined with taxes on imports. That's where.

 

[Tobytone]

Even worse than before, Dummy. C'mon. Up your game...not spiral it down.

Lmao, even after I graciously suggested you take your time because I'd be busy for a bit, your two-time letter to the editor “genius” delivers... nada. Just another senile stab at shade, cobbled together from some fever dream inspired by the landscapers outside your window? This ain’t cutting it, Rossy. How do I coax out the dazzling editorial prowess of a two-time letter to the editor writer?

On a side note, let’s talk your new moniker. I dubbed you Rossy the Biden for that befuddled Biden-esque drivel, but your latest tall tales scream Corn Pop, same Biden vibe, now with that extra delusional storyteller flair. Corn Pop suits you better, it’s got that unhinged, rolls-off-the-tongue charm, perfect for a fabulist like you.

So Corn Pop, here's to hoping you still have 'good days' and will finally show us all those two-time letter to the editor chops. I thought I might finally see it after exposing your ignorance on tariffs, but you just whimpered and did your usual act. Is there a topic you actually know anything about?

So...you've gone completely nuts and want to show everyone that you have.

Are you expecting a reaction that will help you...or are you expecting a form of pity that will make your descent more tolerable?

There are moments where I regret my fun at your frustrations. But not many of those moments.

Still nothing, Corn Pop? LOL. Your vaunted two-time letter to the-editor brilliance is as AWOL as your grasp on tariffs, or anything, really. I’m now starting to pity you, picking on a doddering libtard whose dementia’s clearly calling the shots. Stop chasing faded fantasies of when you thought you had a clue. It’s okay, happens to the best of has-beens. Rest, Corn Pop, rest, your brain’s begging for it.

Thanks for the interesting illustration of cognitive bias, gullibility, and poor source material. The reality, courtesy of a two-second Google search:

it says there was a surplus in June.

thanks for the proof.

 

[Freddy Figbottom]

You are exactly right. There's a reason why Walmart and other retailers are mighty unhappy. That pair of jeans you could buy at Walmart last year for $25 is going to go up because of the tariffs. Walmart isn't going to eat that new tax. YOU will pay that new tax. Reichwingers appear to be extremely uninformed about what tariffs are, as you pointed out. @Grokmaster -- copied from Google AI.

paying higher prices is worth everyone having a job, then they will be able to pay for the stuff.

cheap goods mean nothing when all the jobs are gone.

I now own you so thoroughly that you are unable to extricate yourself from my ownership.

Too bad that. But that is what you get for trying to battle outside your weight class.

Continue to claim victory...especially early in the day. It helps set the tone for a wonderful day for me.

Another needed schooling coming up....but I prefer to save it for my next post.

See why Corn Pop works so well, lol. You're shuffling around the room, 'I own him now, damn it!' said Corn Pop. 'I'll show him and tell him I own him, that malarkey won't stand!' Hilarious. You're such a dumbass old senile libtard. Get out there and mow that lawn, LOL

Good Morning...it does look to be quite the wonderful day...

As expected...and a perfect set up for the schooling I promised.

You continue to proclaim me stupid and senile. Examples:

clearly not mentally capable of understanding what I'm writing.

a doddering libtard whose dementia’s clearly calling the shots.

Boy, you should not be doing that...it is poor strategy. You are setting yourself up for a guaranteed loss...no matter what points you may eventually make.

If you finally make a point that matters...it will be said that you bested a stupid, senile, dementia-addled person. How can anyone feel victory in that.

AND...if you should continue to take losses in these exchanges...it will be noted that even a stupid, senile, dementia-addled person can put you in your place.

Boy, you set yourself up for defeat with this folly.

I love the ignore feature here. Haven't seen one of Toby's word salad spewings in months. Try it, you'll like it! lol

 

[ThatOwlWoman]

Did you write that down on a post it note so you will remember it in 5 minutes?

This is why no one believes your claim to have been a "doctor." You show the same compassion for other humans as the fake "special ed teacher" does for those with mental/cognitive struggles.

Lol, Corn Pop, I’m still waiting for those vaunted two-time letter to the editor skills, but I guess that’s a pipe dream. I’ve tried coaching you before, yet your dementia’s screaming louder than ever.

Schooling someone isn’t just crowing about it, genius. Repeating “I won” doesn’t make it true. You’re too senile to see you haven’t even defended your utterly moronic, clueless tariff take. You can’t win if you don’t fight back, you dumbass old coot.

I kept this dead simple with easy words, hoping for a rare spark of clarity, but if that’s a bust, get help and catch a nap.

Keep at it, Sonny. You eventually will win the battle with yourself.

Get some rest Corn Pop, I got things to do, you know, out in the real world where you used to roam.

I still am able to walk (and even run) in this world, Boy.

At some point, if you grow old, you will realize what an ass you were at this point.

For now though, just keep on entertaining me. You are precious.

Very good Corn Pop, congrats on clearing that bar, you can walk. (supposedly)

I’m feeling downright charitable today, so going forward, I’ll grant you ample time between replies for your naps and the special “maintenance” a libtard like you needs daily, kindly sparing the grim details. Now when your wits flicker like a dying lightbulb, you can bide your time until the fog lifts and unearth those mythical two-time letter to the editor skills.

If you take full advantage of the extra time, you might scrounge up a scrap of dignity, a sliver of credibility, and weave together something that could be considered plausible. I know it’s a stretch, but who knows? With some effort you could finally cobble together a coherent argument, flaunting that fabled editorial prowess for once.

Each day I'm around, I’ll judge if your replies suggest you’ve swallowed your meds or if you’re trapped in a senile Groundhog Day loop. In short, I won’t digitally smack you around multiple times daily, and on your worst days, I might just let you slide. So, Corn Pop, rest up, pop your pills, and maybe tomorrow you’ll catch a fleeting glimpse of clarity or you can do as you have been and fire multiple shots that continue to miss the plot, I'm guessing the latter. LOL

I can walk, Boy. I can run. What kind of personal discontent makes you want to think I cannot?

What kind of insecurities are at work on you, Boy, that forces you to suppose those kinds of things about me? Can you not conquer them? Can you not at least hold them at bay?

Are you so lacking in confidence and self-esteem that you must constantly derogate and belittle others? Work on it , Boy. Get your act together. Stop embarrassing yourself.

Poor you. So little talent for this kind of give and take.

SCHOOLING FOR TODAY: The more you do this kind of relentless belittling...the sillier you look. It is mostly judged as silliness and childishness...not witty or intellectual....just silly and childish. You can do much better. C'mon. Make me proud of you. Lift your screeds to a higher level...at least up to grammar school graduate.
