These are the first polls that measure opinion after Trump's speech. Only Rasmussen's poll includes some days before the speech. And even it was negative: https://www.natesilver.net/p/trump-approval-ratings-nate-silver-bulletin Here's Rasmussen's polling from inauguration up to the present: https://www.realclearpolling.com/polls/approval/donald-trump/approval-rating

A case of self-inflicted ignorance. A consequence of addiction to the ignore button.

This is your idea of a liberal?

Don't lie. Here is what you claimed: "You known damn well this is total nonsense. The UK government found BSE was caused by genetic mutation, not any kind of cattle feed."

Answering a question with a question. Deflecting much?

But recent findings by his research team suggest that mad cow disease is also caused by a genetic mutation within a gene called Prion Protein Gene. The bold face and italics are mine. And from the study: The research shows, for the first time, that a 10-year-old cow from Alabama with an atypical form of bovine spongiform encephalopathy had the same type of prion protein gene mutation as found in human patients with the genetic form of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, also called genetic CJD for short. Besides having a genetic origin, other human forms of prion diseases can be sporadic, as in sporadic CJD, as well as foodborne. That is, they are contracted when people eat products contaminated with mad cow disease. https://www.cabidigitallibrary.org/do/10.5555/collection-news-18649/full/ So not a case of "instead". Rather, "in addition". And relatively uncommon as well.

Time to dust off the 25th Amendment? EDIT: I thought you meant a 104% increase. The 104% tariff is old news by now.

OK. My mistake.

Well, the Chinese people who endured that aren't the same today. That said, they are still willing to put up with a lot of hardship especially given that they have a very high rate of savings.

So now you don't support the Trump's tariff hikes just about virtually every country?

You know that saying, "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." I guess that doesn't apply to everyone. How many times does Musk have to mislead you before you betray some sign of embarrassment: Musk floats falsehoods about Social Security, immigrants as DOGE seeks changes ...Musk and Gracias presented the fact that some noncitizens have Social Security numbers as shocking, characterizing it as something they had stumbled upon and were exposing, with Gracias claiming federal employees who had shared the data had taken a “risk” to do so. The numbers on Musk’s screen appeared to come from a government program that was set up to streamline the process through which immigrants get their Social Security numbers. A September 2023 government audit found that the Social Security Administration correctly processed noncitizens’ cases 99.8 percent of the time in that program and a related one. “There’s no fraud here,” said David Bier, director of immigration studies at the conservative Cato Institute. https://archive.ph/7PmCO#selection-519.0-526.1

So on the one hand you now claim that the best possible time (unless you have a time machine) is to do it today. So that preparation should begin with tax cuts?

Not unless there are 2 pouatchees here. He pretty much denounces liberals every chance he gets.

Here's what you did say: "It's a matter of national security should we ever have to go to war with China." So on the one hand "The other thing is we can't leave it how it is." but on the other there's no rush?

And the best way to recruit other nation to cooperate in decoupling from China is to alienate them by imposing tariffs on them. Genius!!!

And when a country is about to go to war, the best way to prepare for it is to lower government revenue?

But it faces tariffs on it's entire value no matter where the parts come from.

Trying to put words in my mouth? I'm not denying that the Chinese have engaged in and are engaged in intellectual theft. But given that they are the leaders in many high tech areas of the economy, are you suggesting that they have some kind of time machine and are stealing from the future?

It's clear that it's the Steele report you're referring to. Former intel official: Trump-Russia dossier 'played no role' in our analysis of Russian meddling Conservative commentators and allies of President Donald Trump have sought to cast the Russia investigations as a partisan witch hunt in light of revelations that the Trump-Russia dossier was funded by a lawyer for Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee. But the former general counsel for the Director of National Intelligence says the dossier "played absolutely no role" in the intelligence community's assessment that Russia interfered in the 2016 election. "The salacious allegations in the 'dossier' are a mere sideshow that should not distract from a comprehensive investigation" of Russian interference, the lawyer, Robert Litt, said. https://www.businessinsider.com/robert-litt-says-dossier-played-no-role-in-intel-community-russia-assessment-2017-10 The Inspector General of the Justice dept concluded that the investigation of Trump was not predicated on the Steele Dossier.

Economically speaking what you're wishing for is at best a bad recession but more likely a depression. And whether that's what you wish for or not, you're not going to find a lot of Luddites out there to join with you. And you've really got to join the 21st century. China is now a leader in all sorts of highly advanced tech.

You got some evidence to support that claim?

Or reckless. Or clueless. Or both.

Whatever gains Trump made among the young via his reversal on Tik-Tok, mostly likely he'll lose and then some as the cost of these devices soars.

Have you forgotten that it was the Germans who shut them down?

What you call evidence is what rational people would call nonsense. All you did was offer empty assertions.
