BRICS was formed in 2009 when Barack Obama was President. It was formed as a coalition to compete with US "hegemony." You need to do some basic research before posting. Or blame Obama - up to you. What does Brics mean and who are the new members? In 2006, Brazil, Russia, India and China created the "Bric" group. South Africa joined in 2010, making it "Brics". The group was designed to bring together the world's most important developing countries, to challenge the political and economic power of the wealthier nations of North America and Western Europe. Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) were invited to become members with effect from 1 January 2024.

And he should make himself a hero by naming them all. But he's hiding behind "a court ordrred."

Listen to this D4 accented Irish woman claiming she is Palestinian. Utterly deranged.

Seamus - let's go to Berlin and pretend we're Palestinian. I can show off my skills from the acting classes Mom funded - and annoy the famously lax German police. Anyway - how it started -

Reports floating that Dan Bongino is on the edge of resigning due to.yhe Epstein farce. He blames Pamela Bondi for overpromising and under delivering. This is a genuine MAGA crisis. Trump will need to be on his toes to navigate this one.

By the way - no serious economist has ever predicted that the full tariffs would be paid by US consumers. Manufacturers and importers are taking a haircut. Democrats are enraged that inflation is dropping and the idea of a budget surplus? Dear me, landslide territory for Trump at the midterms

If he goes and the new chairman drops the interest rate it could save half a trillion dollars in debt financing - and catnip the economy.

Jerome Powell's resignation looks imminent. Politico has reported tariff inflation has not arrived - calling into question his judgment. Tariff inflation hasn't shown up. Here's why it matters for Trump and the Fed. The debate over how and when the tariffs will affect prices has divided central bank policymakers over the trajectory for interest rates.

You mean - the drop in inflation rate now heading to 1.66% annualized? Anyway, I knew someone would moan about this. Some people are not happy until they are unhappy.

The first surplus in 20 years. No doubt our resident brigade of poison dwarves will be along to tell us how this is a bad thing. $26 billion surplus - congratulations to those who put their trust in Trump to rebalance the economy.

Treasury posts unexpected surplus in June as tariff receipts surge

He didn't prevent the Cuban Misdile Crisis. This is the difference between 80 IQ and 130 IQ. No one is this stupid - oh, wait

So inflation is lower but it's not lower? Is that really your argument because no one can be that stupid? Now - if you said "I expect inflation to increase later this year as the tariffs take effect" - that wouldn't be stupid. That would be a fair call and we'd need to wait and see.

You don't know what ad hominem means. You can defeat me by answering the question. Post the name of a single country that Trump has returned to Biden era trade agreements after imposing his tariffs. Just one.

Since when does arresting two overstayers = a "crackdown."

Uhuhu - so what you're saying is that inflation is lower? Is that not the opposite of what people said would happen when the tariffs were introduced?

Aha - unable to answer the simple question. Then spitting the dummy out like a frustrated toddler. The basic premise of the thread - TACO - is childish. When challenged to name one counrty that has had it's tariff status restored to Biden era trade arrangements - you can't. Utterly pathetic, woeful and childish.

Lets make this easy for you. Name the country which Trump tariffed, and as of today, is tariff free. Just one. Then tell me about "TACO"

Inflation is around 2.4% You're just making up things in your head. Next?

Trump has been nominated by several entities including Pakistan who say he prevented an all-out war with India. The Nobel committee knows they made a mistake giving the prize to Obama. As far as I'm concerned he only got the prize because the committee members wanted to meet him. On the other hand, left to the committee, Trump will never receive the Nobel Peace prize. However, again - there's talk of Lebanon and Syria recognising Israels right to exist under Trump's Abraham Accords. Any fair minded person knows that would be a monumental achievement in Middle East politics. There's also rumours of Saudi Arabia joining the Accord. If that happens and the Nobel committee doesn't give the prize to Trump, the prize will forever be deemed worthless.

He promised tariffs, he imposed tariffs. As you were saying?

This TACO drivel. I'll tell you when it applies. It will apply when Trump puts his hands up and says "I can't do a deal with XYZ country. I apologise for introducing tariffs against said country, and we will return to Biden era trade arrangements with said country." aka - never, ever going to happen. These drivelous lunatics can't get over the fact that just about every country on earth is tariffed at 10% or more. They forget to mention that Trump hammered certain countries this week, including Thailand. The notion that he "taco'd" because he extended a deadline by three weeks is weak comfort to the brain dead. And remember this - As long as he has the new tariffs in place against any country the idea of TACO is toddler logic.

Only one moron in this conversation.. Read the thread again and maybe the penny will drop with you.

This is what happens when people try to get smart on the Internet. They fire out witless comments dressed as "insightful commentary." Let me help you with your nonsensical scenario. So Russia could drop 500 soldiers at Tijuana, and after they cross into the USA, they could refuse to accept their deportation back to Russia. The end result would be 500 Eussian military men wandering around the USA that can't be deported - correct?

Yes, I confess I take great joy in rapists and murderers being deported. It's also interesting that you allowed that thought to escape your mind. Do you not want rapists and murderers deported?
