USA News and Poland - part 14

OK. Let's have a linear, fact-based conversation.

I just made you the president of the United States. The starting and non-negotiable point is that we are running 800B of trade deficit. Unsustainable. Period.

What is your plan?

That is my worry...People expect too much too soon as if 50 years of idiocy can be fixed in 5 month.

My prediction: The House will go Dem in 2026 and Trump's plan into a shredder.

Hmm....so pessimistic?

I dunno....that's over a year time....Trumps plan really really really has to come out worse than the current Dem's for that to happen, me thinks. And if that happens then, frankly spoken, he deserves nothing less. But at the same time the Dems have to present alot better than right now and also come up with a better plan...

My bet is on Trump!....and just because the leftist alternative is currently just not votable, neither in the US nor in Europe! Trump has to REALLY **** up everything for the Left to gain back what they lost during the last years!

PS: Of course spoken from my european party-perspective....I have no idea what happens in Washington, truly! :)

Yeah, I got it. We have no right to make profits; we should give them to Europeans for free. Your VAT is not enough.

Is he the voting member, besides you, in the club of clairvoyants with the gift of recognition or simply the big gut owner? Can you write something that
is your idea?

So far it worked for me very well.

I was very pessimistic about Poland in 196x and left for the US. Man, was I right...

I would be a lot less pessimistic about the US if I didn't live in the sea of overweight morons with short attention span and stupid enough to vote 51 to 49 for Trums against the biggest fraud in the US history. That was like that bullet that missed him in Pennsylvania...existential...


And I appreciate it. I do, too...

This is why when I dump on "Euros" I never include you, BB.

You are right.my opinion is same, but what you expect knowing he is 92% Slavic:::)))

This is HIUGE...

But the president's efforts were halted on March 15 when Obama-appointed US District Court Judge James Boasberg issued an injunction blocking the deportations.

That injunction has now been lifted under the Supreme Court's ruling - allowing the president to once again send suspected gang members to their home countries.

"Suspected", not convicted...We have no time or resources to give these mother fvckers lawyers, hearings, trials, and endless appeals...

Out, azzholes...and feel lucky I am not the president. You would be buried, not deported...

In court documents urging the Supreme Court to overturn Boasberg's order, the Trump administration also argued that Boasberg's temporary ban encroached on presidential authority to make national security decisions.

No shlt!

Our current Supreme Court has four females on the court. All four decided a lower court judge can override the president of the United States.

Only women can be that stupid.

Because their brains are defective, women should be forever barred from all federal positions.

In a democracy, the courts are independent.

Is this why PiS was so busy investigating judges and firing prosecutors - to strengthen their independence?

No, to weaken the independence of the courts.

But Poland is the shining light of democracy?

Just like Ukraine? In Ukraine you can grab a prosecutor by his tie and speak to him like a "real man". You can also show up to a court with a Kalashnikov, and give a long lecture on your unique interpretations of jurisprudence.

In a democracy, foreign affairs, including deporting illegal migrants, belong to the president, not judges.

Sure, and assume the role of the president,that much democratic and independent?Take some chill-pill.

US leftists hate "mass deportations". Too simple and too efficient...

They push for one deportation at a time. This of, course, clogs up the courts and takes forever. That was the plan and it worked - until now.

Another win for Trump and sanity...

you are clueless; why bother to write or make nonsensical comments? Are you a masochist?

What is clueless in my post?

The beginning, the middle and the end

The US, a Chinese colony:

In 2023, the United States exported approximately $154 billion in goods to China, with the top exports including soybeans, crude petroleum, and petroleum gas.

Low-IQ products from a country that has 50% of all lawyers and MBAs living on Earth today and unable to wage a war without imports. A casino with a barber shop pretending to be a superpower...for a month...

Then it needs the enemy's electronics to make F-35s. Trump saw it and said: No fvcking way am I going to allow this shlt to continue. Pure evil or just Hitler...Take your pick...

If Russia is a gas station with nukes, the US is a soybean farm with nukes - plus homeless bums everywhere...

Don, I am so relieved you won...Fvck Euros...


When you need to fart, at least have the decency to do it alone.

Now look at that:

After US tariff announcement

DAX starts above 20,000 points

Has the excitement from the beginning of the week subsided? After losing all of its year-to-date gains on Monday, the leading German stock index is now trending slightly higher....

....and that after all that apocalyptic german talk because of Trumps new tariffs!

Also the US Dow Jones:

US stocks off to major bounce back from their tariff doom spiral[/i]

....hmmm....doesn't look like as if the world markets complain or "die", as foretold by some "experts".

[i]Stock markets in Asia: Up 6 percent

Prices in Asia had already risen. In Japan, the Nikkei index jumped 6.02 percent at the close of trading, while the Kospi index in Seoul rose 0.26 percent. The Hong Kong stock market, where prices fell on Monday by more than 13 percent, the lowest since the 1997 Asian financial crisis, stabilized: The Hang Seng Index was up 0.11 percent at the close. In Taiwan, however, the stock market continued its downward slide - after a loss of 9.7 percent on Monday, trading closed down 4.02 percent on Tuesday....

Crazy....and abit unexpected! The question is, is this because of Trump? Or despite.....

Stock markets around the world are experiencing a boom today: The DAX, MDAX, and Dow Jones are recording impressive gains. Positive economic outlooks and corporate news are boosting prices.....

It's because Japan is preparing to do a deal with the Administration.

Japan's PM and Trump had a 25 minute call.

Japan is America's biggest creditor AND its biggest investor. So this is a big deal.

Yeah...that's a real success....China next!

Rich, the clueless one, is Alien, and the post was addressed to him. There is probably one other instance of quote removal to create confusion.
Sorry, Rich. To earn the title of clueless, you have to work at it as brutally or harder than Alien.:::)))Nothing is free in America unless you are illegal, of course.
Citizens with impeccable] credentials, like you are entitled to paying the taxes, being obedient, Biden, Pelosi , Schumer and the rest of the democratic establishment
will take care of the rest:::)))

Nothing to add...

I already did, but PolAm stated that I "don't understand Americans", so... I quoted an American.


Not under PiS. And I wouldn't go as far as saying "the shining light of democracy", but definitely much more democratic than RuSSia.


The president can't be above the law or the Constitution (in a democracy, that is).


First of all, explain it to me why trade deficit is "unsustainable" in the case of the US?:

theconversation.com/the-trade-deficit-isnt-an-emergency-its-a-sign-of-americas-strength-252466

"That is, a trade deficit can only arise if foreigners invest more in the U.S. than Americans invest abroad. In other words, a country can only have a trade deficit if it also has an equally sized investment surplus. The U.S. is able to sustain a large trade deficit because so many foreigners are eager to invest here.

(...)

Why? One major reason is the safety of the U.S. dollar.

(...)

In return for our financial assets, we buy more German machines, Scotch whiskey, Chinese smartphones, Mexican steel and so on.

Blaming foreigners for the trade deficit, therefore, is like blaming the bank for charging a low interest rate. We have a trade deficit because foreigners willingly charge us low interest rates - and we choose to spend that credit.

(...)

This strong demand for U.S. assets also explains why Trump's last trade war in 2018 did little to close the trade deficit: Tariffs, by themselves, do nothing to reduce foreigners' demand for U.S. dollars, stocks and bonds.

(...)

It's worth noting that no other country in the world enjoys a similarly sized investment surplus.

(...)

Rather than reviving U.S. manufacturing, Trump's extreme tariffs and erratic foreign policy are likely to instead scare off foreign investors altogether and undercut the dollar's global role. That would indeed shrink the trade deficit - but only by eroding the very pillars of the country's economic dominance, at a steep cost to American firms and families."

A very good assessment.

Who is the president you are talking about?

I hope you are done with silly questions, but for now, I will answer: when you run out of taxpayer money and are unable to pay interest on your debt, you are basically screwed.

Because no deficits are unsustainable.

Name one kind that is sustainable.
