54% tariffs on China, 10% tariffs on Iran, 0% tariffs on Russia = MAGA Clownshow.

The President's claim about "Foreign Tariffs" is indeed misleading, as the percentages listed actually represent trade balances, not tariffs. This distinction is crucial, as trade balances refer to the difference between a country's imports and exports, whereas tariffs are taxes imposed on imported goods. Presenting false information can be considered a serious offense, especially when done by the President. However, whether this specific incident constitutes an impeachable offense is a matter of interpretation. Impeachable offenses are typically considered "high crimes and misdemeanors," a phrase outlined in the US Constitution. While there's no clear consensus on what this entails, it generally refers to serious abuses of power, corruption, or dereliction of duty. In this case, the President's action could be seen as a misrepresentation of facts, which might be considered a breach of public trust. However, it's uncertain whether this would rise to the level of an impeachable offense. It's worth noting that the President's trade policies, including tariffs and trade balances, have been a subject of controversy and debate.

The Dow is less reliable as a broad market indicator than the S&P 500, Nasdaq, or Russell 2000 because of its price-weighted methodology and limited scope (only 30 stocks). In your example, the Dow being flat while the Russell 2000 is down 20% since November 2024 shows that the Dow misses significant movements in smaller companies, which are more sensitive to economic shifts. For a more comprehensive view of market conditions, the S&P 500 (broad large-cap exposure) (down over 10% since November) and Russell 2000 (small-cap health) (down over 20%) are often better indicators.

Laughing at your own jokes is poor form. Since 1-Nov the Russell 2000 is down 11%, since 25-Nov the Russell is down 20%. You must have the chart upside down or looking at it thro MAGA colored glasses.

Englishman here, the op seems like racism baiting and against forum rules I would think?

Excuse me, the Brits I kno still call it Burma and so do I. The Mafia in Myanmmar are thugs and should never get my tax money for "Aid"....they are going to use it for bombs on the rebels....ok! LET China help them. This is a global relief effort sans MAGA clowns. Besides the junta whom you rightly call the mafia that is bombing its own peoples, the National Unity Government (NUG) of Myanmar is in dire need of distributing aid to all its peoples from any kind donors around the world whilst avoiding the cruel junta. The name Burma is a colonial relic to be forgotten as the country has a much deeper history than that or that of the USA for that matter.

If they made an 'unwoke' version of Snow White, you'd be first in the queue, bristling with thoughts of supreme righteousness whilst sitting thro a kids movie ?

What is all the hypocrisy suddenly about? It's not as if no one has taken ED drugs before? As I recall at the time of Warne's passing people were celebrating him, with three sex workers seen leaving his room, as 'way to go and living the life'.

The only minds blown here are the vaccine deniers.

A war criminal suggesting the overthrow of another countries elected government. How original.

As clueless as the op I see. It’s definitely not appropriate to use “impressive” to describe an event that causes widespread loss of life and suffering. In that context, a more accurate descriptor might be something like “devastating”, “catastrophic”, or even “unfathomable”. It’s important to be sensitive and respectful when discussing events that cause human suffering, and the loss of life from an earthquake is certainly not something to be impressed by.

Trying to understand the thought processes going on here. What exactly "impresses" you about earthquakes where thousands of lives are lost?

The concept of an intellectual is a difficult thing for the average Joe Trumper to get their head around, as your comment concurs. Chanting MAGA, wearing a red cap and hoping tariffs will make you rich again requires little thought processes and is a easy vote buying technique.

It's platform driven by the management and makes them money presumably. As for the site that started out as TV with good intentions, that's dead. Sad.

It's easy to deflect to a foreigner not being able to vote, but what about an American in America without ID, you want to take away the Americans voting rights, right?

Why not send him to El Salvador?

Too difficult for a MAGAnut to understand the concept.

Trump's lie at the press briefing about not knowing about a national security failing and deflecting to the standards of the Atlantic news source, when he did know his team messed up is more serious than a typical lie that he's known for. This behavior implies that he prioritizes maintaining a facade of infallibility over transparency and accountability. By denying knowledge of a national security issue, Trump undermines the trust and credibility necessary for effective leadership. Lying by a president can considered an impeachable offense, especially if it involves national security matters. The Constitution states that the president can be removed from office for "high crimes and misdemeanors"

It only needs more than 100,000 to trigger a debate in parliament.

As a beach-lover, you've been out in the sun too long if you think a wanted war crim is trustworthy.

Where do you sit on the Pope vs Hitler?

Why not tell the whole story? #rhetorical Walz has offered to host town halls in districts where Republicans are refusing to hold them, after the National Republican Congressional Committee told its members to avoid in-person meetings as constituents expressed frustration about the Trump administration and DOGE’s cuts to the federal workforce by the Telsa CEO.

BS The kind of eloquent and explanative response one can expect from your kind. Why not expand on exactly what part of what I said is BS otherwise one could infer the BS is mostly what you are steaming in?

Right wing useful idiots - the lot of you.
