President Trump’s Tariff Formula Makes No Economic Sense. It’s Also Based on an Error.

My comment was influenced by repeatedly being mocked and shouted down on this forum, something that is done overwhelmingly against non far left views here. It’s about repeated comments glorifying the rights of one side in a terrible war, accusations of supporting genocide for wanting a lasting peace, and fear my party will continue on its path to obscurity with continued far left views. If that attack on non leftist views is not common practice on amt, please identify all the maga posters and what happened to them.

Can we stick with the topics of the AMT threads instead of spending so much time arguing with people with a martyr complex. Jimminny Cricket, we're ALL victims of the current move toward tyranny and oligarchy. Instead, we should all be talking about how to defend freedom and Democracy. There is no "village". There's us, and there's the mega rich."It's a sad and beautiful world"-Roberto Benigni0

Yes Tim S, since you asked, if I see comments I believe are false, misleadingly attacking, I will supply facts to balance the debate.
Just look at Fox News website today. Nothing about the crashing markets.
And social media is a cesspool of lies and misinformation. Republicans are the best at exploiting that. The Democrats just can't compete.
And Bill Maher has changed. He's always been an asshole, but now he is a total out of touch rich old prick. A number one book and succesful tv show is not evidence that he's right or the same guy. Audiences and demographics change.Geez, the man has been attacking the far left for almost his entire career.The thesis is Bill Maher gets shouted down when he doesn’t agree with the far left view. I posted a video of Maher here yesterday, where he politely discussed mid east problems with the ladies on the view. A very polite discussion, and according to the video, they had no objections to what he had to say. Someone else posted a video meant criticize Bill Maher because the video was a rank out contest with comedian Bill Barr. It was two comedians ranking on each other. I raised the point that they agreed on a solution to the mid east problem.The result of both videos - zero engagement on this forum, other than personal attacks for supporting negotiation.
Just like far left opinions on here. Try to prevent someone from raising objections for who the Democratic Party chooses to defend. It’s happening right in front of our eyes on the forum you like to post on. Whether you choose to see it, that’s entirely up to you. That is your freedom, but please don’t interpret that an accuracy.Only is a strong word. Are you prepared to support the accuracy of your comment?Did you make any attempt to demonstrate that or is it yet another low effort attack? Did anyone else post supporting Maher? If so, I missed it in the sea of criticism of him. Someone else originally brought up my comments were like Maher yesterday. Was that you? I agreed and believe it’s a discussion worth having.
times with no response.Maher on his show essentially is just reactionary and pulls content from political “trends” on social media. This has turned him into more of a right wing mouth piece. That Maher is different on the view tells me I’m accurate on this take.Offended when I was told “it was not meant as a compliment?” No, I actually enjoyed the comparison because it was true. I have said I stopped watching Maher for five years and only started again after Harris lost
do you watch him? He is what he always was politically. Very much a democrat but against the far left of the party. I strongly contend that it’s the party that has changed in a much more significant manner.there are two significant topics the he has discussed that I agree with. DEI policies used in a harmful manner, and elevating a terrorist nation who is sending their residents and sympathizers here to disrupt education and to protest violently on American soil. That’s a huge move in an extreme left manner that he talks about and i agree with.And the fact you’re saying broad statements about “the left” elevating a terrorist nation, which actually is just the left raising concerns about due process and the Trump admin over-reaching with their demands about university policy, tells me your gauge about determining left vs right is too biased.When I say my political party has gone too far on the Hamas issue my general concern is the support for Hamas, what that group represents, and the culture within their population that they enhance, including how they treat women and other people.Regarding the detainments, I have significant concerns with some of these detainments. I really want to know what these people did. And if they’re on a student visa my understanding is They don’t get much leeway. Maybe I’m wrong, but I’m willing to watch the due process to find outThere’s less leeway on a student visa, but yeah, the focus has been on due process this whole time.0 -

The recent visit by Vice President JD Vance, his wife, Usha, and the national security adviser Michael Waltz to the U.S. military base in Greenland may have been met with a cold shoulder, but it did produce at least one hot item.
The week before the Vances' arrival, Aannguaq Reimer-Johansen, a consultant at KNI, a trading conglomerate in Greenland, posted a photo on his Facebook page of what looked like a bright red MAGA hat. Only, instead of the usual "Make America Great Again" in white letters, Mr. Reimer-Johansen's cap read "Make America Go Away."
It touched a nerve — and not just locally. The hats ended up on "The Daily Show" and "The View." Across social media, the general reaction was "I want one." Tina Brown compared it to "the French Resistance on ice," thus connecting the red cap to the "bonnets rouges" of the French Revolution.
Why doesnt it say ”make the american government go away”

Perhaps it coincides with “factions” like the squad taking shape in the House, a group of reps often one sided and dishonest with the public. IMO.
I’ve done a lot of reading and watching of non dem sources since the election, which is difficult. Because on that side of politics it’s 90% dishonest. But on these two topics, when it pertains to middle America, their POV is overwhelmingly on point.0 -

The idea that the left has moved further left is absurd. Based on the posting of a handful of people on a rock band's fan site? Based on the fact that they support the rights of trans people (the only relatively newer issue today)? Based on the fact that they are outraged that instead of a Democracy, we live in an oligarchy ruled by tyranny?WTF?"It's a sad and beautiful world"-Roberto Benigni0
