The Biden Doctrine

[Long Time Spider Fan]

Trump should hit Mexico with tariffs for the flood of fentynal and the 10 million illegals they pushed across our border. The wall is the least of the expenses they owe us.

While he's at it, he should slap a covid tariff on China to pay for the trillions they caused us.

Then he can slap another tax on China to shore up social security and Medicare.

For a guy who claims to know everything, surely you realize that tariffs are paid by the American consumers and not by the countries importing goods. If you want prices to skyrocket, tariffs as you suggest are a great idea. Tariffs should be used when foreign goods are unfairly competing with US products and not as a punishment for that country, the only ones actually being punished are the American people. And unfortunately, there are some products that we have to import because they are not being made here or are not being made here inexpensively.

Directly under the headline, it reads:

Opinion by Jay Michaelson

He writes for Rolling Stone and The Daily Beast, both reasonable middle of the road outlets.

Yeah, just like the stuff from Fox you guys post. I don't recall Rolling Stone or The Daily Beast paying nearly a billion dollars in damages to Dominion for their consistent lies about the 2020 election, do you? Or have you forgotten about that, just like most of you have forgotten about Jan. 6.

Unfun facts:

According to SSI Trustees, the fund will become insolvent in 2035.

According to Medicare Board of Trustees, Part A will be depleted in 2033.

https://www.ssa.gov/oact/trsum/ (others extend it to 2036)

These ain't Fox talking points, they are our government's official predictions.

BTW Stephanopoulos and ABC ponying up for defamation. More to come.

George was wrong, he was sloppy and will likely pay. But nowhere close to an intentional lie repeated for weeks.

There was no way this suit would've won a nickel under existing law, not to mention Trump would've been deposed. This is a flat out bribe from Disney Corp, to Trump, like the big gift recently from by Bezos.

Perhaps I am dense, but didn't the suit win under existing law?

I am not going to call you dense. But the lawsuit was settled. It did not even come close to going to trial. No depositions, no courtroom testimony, no witnesses, no jury awarded damages, no judge upheld the damages. Legally no one won or lost, both parties reached an agreement and the case disappeared. No admission of guilt, just cash and a rather tepid "apology."

George S. got lazy and used "rape" instead of "sexually assaulted." Essentially the same act but legally words matter.

In an earlier case involving this subject a judge did rule that Trump had "essentially raped" Carroll. Had this gone to trial, no way would Trump win.

But ABC paid the money, just like Bezos and Zuckerman did with their huge donations to Trump, to curry favor with the next president.

This might be the only time Trump's lawyers actually got paid. Not by him, of course.
