You know it's not close to the same thing and are deliberately obfuscating to defend him. It would be cute if it wasn't so infuriating. The consumption tax was introduced by the Howard government which was almost conservative by American standards - certainly Reaganomic at the very least.

They are found in low concentrations in Canada, higher in South Africa and Australia,  but mostly in China. China isn't hitting the US with tariffs - they're stopping export altogether. These rare elements are VITAL to the US defense industry, as well as electric motors, aircraft engines etc. Unless the US can source them elsewhere (they can't, nobody else has got any), there will be no more semiconductors so there goes your electronics industry. Airbus already produces better airplanes than Boeing, but without yttrium Boeing will be forced to cease production altogether. Elon can't build his Teslas without neodymium and dysprosium. And no more stealth bombers or ammunition without tungsten. Supply chains. His Royal Orangeness has shattered them. Defend THAT, MAGAts.  less

The Canadians set fire to the White House and gave the US a proper a$$-whupping.Now Trump is talking about forcing Canada to join the US, and we all know that the only way that can happen is invasion. We also know it won't happen, the military is actually required to refuse illegal orders even if they come from the Cheeto in chief. But if, for argument's sake, the US military DID attempt to take Canada, would the Canadians be angry enough to do it again?  less

If this egregious assault on civil liberties stands, what's to stop His Royal Orangeness from arresting American citizens who support any cause his regime doesn't like? That's what Putin does.

We thought the veil had irreversibly slipped when he bragged about sexual assault on camera.We assumed he had no more chances when he attempted a coup.We believed that 34 criminal convictions (and another 17 pending) would matter.It never mattered. It just shifted the goal posts.Even on this specific issue; it didn't make a difference to his supporters when we learned that Kremlin representatives had met his campaign officials in Trump Tower and offered to help get him elected. It couldn't turn the party against him when he was found to have extorted Zelenskyy, withholding aid unless he opened a phony investigation into Hunter Biden.And when Trump stood next to Putin and declared that he believed him over his own intelligence agencies,...    less

Hegsdeth is a drunk with minimal military service and no combat experience, the brass is NOT taking orders from that. The military is also required to refuse illegal orders, even if they come from the Cheeto in chief - so with all the bluster about annexing Canada, Panama and Greenland, how long will it be before the military decides that enough is enough and takes over?

A tariff war means that ALL US industries that rely on these materials will pay more for them. The US cannot possibly resource them locally in sufficient quantities to meet demand, the infrastructure doesn't exist to produce them.Secondly, declaring a trade war on your greatest ally is a clear message to the rest of the world to NOT trust the USA. Who wants to do business with a country that does not keep its word and tears up trade agreements like the USMCA (which His Royal Orangeness HIMSELF signed in his first term) for no good reason?  less

He was drafted by Philadelphia a few years ago despite having no American high school or college experience and has just become the first Australian to start, play and win a Super Bowl (the "Monstar" Jesse Williams was on injured reserve with Seattle in 2013, he didn't start. Neither was he a rugby player, and Williams did play American football in college, with the University of Alabama).Quite a few Australian rules footballers have had success as punters, but Mailata is the first rugby player to play as an offensive lineman and be successful at it. Will it be more common now?  less

It's probably too soon to blame His Royal Orangeness for this, but deleting those people whose primary responsibility is air safety is NOT going to improve the situation.

Greenlanders don't want to be American either, so if Trump wants to annex Greenland it will have to be invasion.

This means that if the United States invades Greenland, the US military is under oath to fight against ... itself.
