It takes a measure of discernment—perhaps even the mark of a classical education—to recognize that silence is not always cowardice, but often the purest form of wisdom. 'Never argue with a fool—they’ll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience' — Often attributed to Mark Twain 'Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet and turn again and rend you.' — Matthew 7:6, King James Version P.S. I am a little less discerning, and like wrestling.

The source interview with Lutnick.......

Your reply seems to miss the point of my query. The issue isn’t whether the A350 is a better aircraft overall—it’s the contradiction in claiming that seat comfort depends entirely on airline fit-outs, while simultaneously asserting the A350 is superior because of its seating —this would seem to suggest a non sequitur logic fail. If seats are airline-configured, then the aircraft model itself shouldn’t determine comfort. Your additional comments are irrelevant to the specific discussion about seat comfort, which was the focus. Broader comparisons between the A350 and 787 are a separate discussion.

So, the seats depend on the fit-out, not the manufacturer— yet somehow the A350 wins?

Series two......starts today!

So, given your penchant—admitted by your own logic—should we assume the reason you delete chats with your Thai bud before U.S. entry is because said bud is a gender-nonconforming person?

Yet BlackRock paid for my new car last year… and now, thanks to Trump, I can’t even afford an omelette.

MAGA countryman, lend me your ears; You came to praise Trump—I came to bury him. Yet the evil that men do will live on after them— And sadly, with Vance. (With apologies to Shakespeare—and to the Roman Empire, brought low by a cult of personality and the hollow men it left behind.)

You're wrong! The forum’s informed critical thinkers are laughing at you! Why are MAGA types suddenly pretending to care about 'meritocracy'? Didn't Donald Trump stuff the White House with the unqualified idiocracy—convicted criminals, billionaires, grifters, accused rapists, and a brain worm? Do any of them have profit or our best interests at heart? Spare me the outrage over market-mover Larry Fink when your guy turned the West Wing into an open audition for a mafia lineup.

Folded like a wet napkin.

Trump just blinked..... Trump exempts phones, computers and other electronics from his tariffs on Chinese goods! So what happens now? If China wanted to retaliate cleverly—without appearing too aggressive—it could spitefully impose export taxes or tighten export controls on key components or finished goods like smartphones, lithium batteries, or rare earths. Not as a tariff per se (that’s more an import-side move), but as a strategic throttle on U.S. access to essential tech. https://www.msn.com/en-au/news/other/trump-exempts-phones-computers-and-other-electronics-from-his-tariffs-on-chinese-goods/ar-AA1CNuGb

A dead cat will bounce more than the US ‘market’ has—if you drop it from high enough. Doesn’t mean it ain’t already dead.

Not sure what “team” you think I’m on, but I don’t know BLMFEM, and I don’t answer for him. If you don't like what he says maybe take it up with him. My team is honesty, truth, and reason. If my post hit too close to home, maybe take that up with your own reflection.

I appreciate your analysis on the potential for Trump to offer a 90-day pause on tariffs with China. However, I wanted to add a perspective that Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, recently shared. He suggested that such a pause might actually create more uncertainty rather than resolving the economic challenges posed by the trade war. While a temporary halt in tariffs could provide some immediate relief to financial markets, it doesn't necessarily address the underlying issues driving economic instability. The uncertainty could lead to a general slowdown in economic activity as businesses and investors wait for more clarity on the future of trade relations between the U.S. and China. Furthermore, Fink's concerns about the U.S. being close to or already in a recession highlight the need for more substantial actions to stabilize markets. A pause in tariffs might be seen as a political move to stabilize public perception, but it doesn't offer a long-term solution to the trade tensions. I agree that Trump might use this pause as a way to kick the can down the road, but it's crucial to consider how this strategy affects global economic stability and investor confidence. https://nypost.com/2025/04/11/business/larry-fink-says-trump-tariffs-beyond-anything-i-could-have-imagined/

When someone says, “I cannot connect the dots,” especially while invoking Trump, it sounds less like a personal shortcoming and more like a mission statement of the movement. Reasoning and critical thinking are the anathema of MAGA—connecting dots requires nuance, logic, and the courage to confront inconvenient truths. None of that flies in a cult that runs on grievance, gut instinct, and blind loyalty. The less you think, the deeper you’re in.

Actually, you underestimated the level of his corruption, it was six bankruptcies — Trump Taj Mahal, Trump Plaza Hotel, Trump Castle (later Trump Marina), Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts, and Trump Entertainment Resorts (which filed twice). All included, a magical disappearing act of investor money.

While Trump sells hats, Xi plays the strategic game — tightening control over rare earths, pushing for a BRICS trade currency, flexing near Taiwan, investing heavily in AI and chips, and rerouting trade through ASEAN and new markets to sidestep the U.S. Every move’s calculated, coordinated — not loud, but lethal, without firing a shot — it’s not chaos, it’s quiet checkmate.

“4D Chess” is just a way to reframe chaos as strategy — unless a recession was part of the plan all along. Meanwhile, Larry Fink — CEO of BlackRock and someone who actually moves markets — says we’re either already in a recession or teetering right on the edge. And quoting Mark Moss — smart, sure — but a staunch anti-government libertarian whose UnCommunist Manifesto pushes a world of pure markets, no safety nets, and maximum personal risk — isn’t exactly a beacon of objective analysis.

I agree. Given his junk food obsession and sedentary lifestyle, Trump almost certainly has diabetes—one common complication being autonomic nerve damage and BPH, which can cause frequent urination, urgency, nocturia, and a weak urinary stream. That might help explain his recurring fixation with “weak showers.” After gutting the NIH, perhaps the only mechanism left to address such personal concerns is an Executive Order. Conveniently, it also paves the way for a return to his recreational preference, as revealed in his legendary Kompromat video. Trump declares war on weak showers with new executive order

Let’s follow your logic: You 'beleive' (sic) homosexuality is linked to crime and mental illness. Trump’s a convicted criminal and a textbook sociopathic narcissist. So… by your standard, that makes him gay. And since you love Trump, guess what that makes you?

Yesterday’s falling capital markets alongside rising bond yields could be the canary in the coal mine—a recession warning, possibly triggered by China quietly offloading U.S. Treasuries. The WH has been playing the “madman theory” card, but Trump showed his hand the moment he hit the panic button with a 90-day pause on select tariffs (China notably excluded). Now China has his measure. They watched Wall Street spook him into retreat, and they’ve rallied their own public with a state media clip of J.D. Vance calling Chinese citizens “peasants.” — textbook national bonding. They’re laying the groundwork—not for surrender, but for defiance. China won’t cave—not now. They’ve lost face. The video also suggests Trump may have to thank Xi, just like Vance suggested Zelensky should thank Trump during that WH photo op........

"No collusion" is a myth. Mueller never evaluated "collusion"—it's not a legal term. He investigated criminal conspiracy and found insufficient evidence to charge, not proof of innocence. Mueller Under oath: "We did not address 'collusion'... The President was not exculpated." What he did find: A meeting to get dirt "as part of Russia’s support for Trump" Internal polling shared with a Russian intel asset Repeated lies and cover-ups Over ten acts of possible obstruction of justice Mueller again: "If we had confidence the president clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said so." He didn’t—because he couldn’t. So no, Trump wasn’t "cleared." He just skated on technicalities and DOJ policy. Time to retire the fairy tale. PS: Just like the E. Jean Carroll 'rape' case, both hinge on legal technicalities that differ from plain-language truth, and in both cases Trump claims “total exoneration” where none exists. https://time.com/5610317/mueller-report-myths-breakdown/ https://www.politico.eu/article/mueller-refutes-trumps-no-collusion-no-obstruction-line/
