That comment wasn’t an entirely earnest defense ^^

Hey hey, the Barnacle never tortured a woman. He just gaslighted them severely and caused irreparable harm to their mental state, but never physically tortured them.

They had. Couple of months ago.

One more case of “etymology is definition”. A lipophobic substance doesn’t fear fat, it is repulsed.

“Phobia” describing bigotry is not the “phobia” in things like arachnophobia.

A 60% compromise!

Exhibit A of “bigotry is totally funny if we don’t like the victim”

Yeah, I am sure the guy posting against the Israeli Genocide in Gaza is a Zionist.

Please touch grass.

Please be joking

The country is, but the individual members of, say, the IRGC aren’t.

How did Ukraine land on that list?

In that case, the prosecutor was approached by the victims families. They did not want to the death penalty, because it would have meant having a trial until at least 2028.

A trade deficit is never exploitation. Lets pretend it is!

All of the stats Trump put up weren’t tariffs, they were a percentage of much less they would have to import in Goods from a certain country to make for the trade deficit with said country in Goods.

Not a single stat on that sheet looked at the trade in services. America always had a service trade surplus.

If we combine the two, a lot of countries that seem to “”““exploit””" the US are suddenly exploited by the US.

But lets go even further: The countries receiving the highest tariffs are Vietnam and Lesotho, becuase the US has the highest deficit in Goods with these countries. Because both countries are too fucking poor to buy american products. A worker in Lesotho, providing diamonds for the US market, would have to invest about 20 years of wagest to buy the cheapest american import car. How the fuck should these countries reduce their deficit?

Okay, but still, we assume that a deficit is somehow exploitation. Trump has said that the tariffs are going to do two things, namely bringing back American Industry and forcing trade partner to drop “barriers and tariffs” (i.e. safety regulations).

For a tariff to do the former, it has to stay until the relevant factories have been built in America and have also paid themselves off. For a tariff to the latter, the possibility of it being removed once the partner comploes has to be on the table. A tariff can’t do both.

But hey, don’t believe me. Read the paper the White House cited in their Announcement of the Tariffs.

Atleast you’re somewhat funny :)

Easy, we take all those stupid science grants and shove them up the farmers’ asses

God i read that as a german trying to spell “free the wing”

I forgot humans and cats have the same level of agency to you.

Nah, ai slop should stay in the facebook boomer corner and die.

Or a Fußpils :)

No, every person American employs outside of the US is a bad, counterrevolutionary, child eating spy. Now face the wall comrade, we found out you spoke english that one.
