Did it take you 5 days to come up with that pitiful come-back? I guess you've been busy cleaning egg off your face, huh?

Igor, what are you doing here (except stalking me)? Putin won't be criticized in this thread so no need for you to lurk around waiting to jump to his defense.

I didn't mention Canada. Are you hearing voices?

More winning! US Economy to Lose Billions as Foreign Tourists Stay Away https://archive.ph/9rQTy "The US economy is expected to lose billions of dollars in revenue in 2025 due to a decline in foreign tourism and boycotts of American products. Arrivals of non-citizens to the US by plane dropped almost 10% in March from a year earlier, with international travelers spending a record $254 billion in the US last year."

That's true. Airbus is a victim of their own success.

My deepest apologies. Looking forward to your post where you let Trump have it with both barrels!

Whereas, OTOH................

When a MAGA poster suddenly turns into an environmentalist you know they have run out of excuses for the clown.

And the winning just continues! Global investors dump US stocks at record pace, BofA survey says "Global investors have slashed their holdings of U.S. stocks by a record amount in the past two months, a trend that is likely to continue given a record number of managers say they plan to keep cutting their exposure, BofA Global Research said on Tuesday. Respondents to BofA's monthly survey of fund managers were a net 36% underweight U.S. equities, the most in nearly two years, a number that has plunged by 53 percentage points since February, the biggest such fall on their records."

Yes, because what happens in one region of the world can have absolutely no impact on other parts of the world. Gotcha, thanks for clearing that up!

And the winning continues!

Not to worry. I'm pretty sure the feeling is mutual.

Could we please have just one topic where you don't drag Trump into it?

Trump calls Xi’s tour of Southeast Asia a chance to ‘screw’ the US "Chinese President Xi Jinping is on a tour of Southeast Asia, positioning China as a stable partner in contrast to the US. President Donald Trump reacted saying the tour was a chance to “screw” the US." So China has already started cashing in after the biggest political self-own in history. Well done Donald, so much winning. Tired of winning yet? This is just the start!

If, by burning down the house, you mean thrashing the US economy and it's standing in the world, making enemies out of allies etc. then, yes. Seems to be a thing among the violent right. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/know-arson-suspect-fire-pa-gov-josh-shapiros-residence-rcna201096

Yes, why not? It's not like you haven't done it before.

When someone plays the "Soros bogeyman" card you know you're dealing with a person of "modest" intellectual means.

The Trump Slump is real, and it's only gonna get worse as he furiously transforms the US from leader of the free world to the world's biggest banana republic. Attacks on the free press, on the courts, weaponizing DOJ and other departments against political opponents all point to a once proud nation heading to the abyss. To have voted for this criminal one was excusable. Twice? No way.

If Trump farted I'd fully expect you (and several other posters) to come flying out of his derriere.

Yep, definitively a Santa Claus over Satan person myself!

Oh for frank's sake, could somebody please go and help Yagoda with his knickers knot?! He's hopelessly stuck in repeat mode and it's getting so, so boring.

Winning.........so much winning! Goldman Sachs are wary of 500K of US job losses due to tariffs https://www.forexlive.com/news/goldman-sachs-are-wary-of-500k-of-us-job-losses-due-to-tariffs-20250415/ "The broader statistical evidence points to negative net employment effects. While the range of estimates is wide, academic studies generally find that a 1Opp increase in tariff rates raises employment in protected industries by 0.2-0.4% but that each 1pp increase in tariff-driven costs lowers employment by 0.3-0.6%. Scaling these estimates to the US economy imply a boost of just under 100k to manufacturing employment from tariff protection but a roughly 500k drag on downstream employment from input cost pressures."

Visited Sachsenhausen concentration camp in my teens in what was then East Germany. I'll never forget it. It was less than 40 years since the end of WW 2 and West Berlin was such an awesome place to experience, an island of democracy in a sea of communism/totalitarianism. Now the drums of war have started beating again, this time in the east, with a murderous dictator in the Kremlin longing for the reestablishment of the USSR. And in Washington a moronic clown and fascist wannabe is in the WH. Really glad I'm not starting a family in these times.

Yes, obviously he's spot on. The West is fully committed to embracing the tariffs imposed on them and can't wait to support the "trade revolution". Watching the news coverage from the traditional allies of the US one gets the feeling of deep admiration and respect for the Don, even when their stock markets crash and their economies tank! Seriously, I wasted 4 minutes of my life watching that video and it's just jibber-jabber. Trade revolution, reset, new system. Terms being thrown around but absolutely NOTHING concrete. Blah, blah, blah. Useless.

Well, I'm anti-stupid so would be amiss if I didn't point out to you that it is unclear both who and what point you're referring to.
