I just hope that we can wait enough time to see the positive impact of the tariffs. I personally, can not foresee a future in which large private equity firms moving into areas hit hardest by tariffs to buy up those businesses for extreme discounts. I wouldn't happen to know of any large PE firms that are targeting these types of businesses.

This is so incompetent. The facility is supposed to be full of random illegals waiting to be released into the general public.

Cut waste, but have a 13% spending increase for the military? How much of a cut will be had when $122 million will increase in military spending, where we know there is a shit ton of waste, yet we never touch that...
Like I said, time will tell.

Is there any justifying this pick?

Doesn’t look like Ben Franklin. ✅
Doesn’t bang horse cosplay people and steal luggage✅
Prob knows what a woman is.✅
Apparently is hated by big pharma. 🤷‍♂️
Apparently has a thousand hours of podcast interviews that Dem oppo folks are prob scouring for weird comments right now.
Some think she’s brilliant. Others a moron. Prob not the most dishonest or questionable pick for the role in the last decade.

Tbh I think it's weird that every justification is just "well Biden picked someone bad too"

No, just pointing out that only now do qualifications matter, to some. She’s certainly a common talker on the topic.

So weird how people want to “destroy the federal government” until shit like this starts happening.

To your post, Trump and the GOP did absolute jack shit about this during his first term when they also controlled the house and the senate because they were too busy focusing on tax cuts for the rich and freaking out about having to possibly wear a mask at work or whatever. Now we’ve got the Dogey boys running around doing who knows what in terms of funding and procurement.

Yet another marker of the complete incompetence of this administration.
THE HILL: 02/17/19 11:13 AM ET

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) said Sunday that Republicans didn’t control Congress during the first two years of President Trump’s presidency despite having majorities in both chambers.

Johnson said that while the GOP had a majority in the Senate during Trump’s first two years in office, they didn’t control the chamber since Democrats had a large minority.

{mosads}“You said we controlled both chambers. We didn’t,” Johnson told NBC’s “Meet the Press” host Chuck Todd, who questioned why Republicans didn’t approve funding for Trump’s proposed border wall while they had those majorities.

“We had a majority in the Senate. So you don’t control it. We needed Democrats to support us and they’ve been unified in trying to thwart this president’s No. 1 issue in the campaign, which was to secure the borders,” Johnson said.

“So no, we didn’t have control,” he continued. “We needed Democrats, we never had any cooperation from Democrats, which is regrettable.”

Republicans were in the majority in both the House and the Senate during the first two years of the Trump presidency, but they only held a slight advantage in the Senate.

They began Trump’s presidency with a 52-48 margin, but that shrunk to 51-49 at the end of 2017 with Democrat Doug Jones’s shocking win in a special Senate election in Alabama.

And because the late Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) was absent for much of 2018, the party’s majority was effectively 50-49 for a large part of that year.

Republicans expanded their edge in the Senate to 53-47 in November but lost control of the House to Democrats.

Johnson on Sunday blamed Democrats for not supporting Trump’s proposal for a wall along the southern border, saying they have voted for similar legislation before Trump was president.

“They just won’t support it now because it’s President Trump,” he said. “It’s very regrettable. The easy solution is just have them stop being hypocrites.”

Trump on Friday declared a national emergency to circumvent Congress and spend about $8 billion on barriers along the border, a move that is already being met with legal challenges.


You my friend are wrong, and absolutely misinformed or just flat out mistaken. Politly speaking.
Trump was fighting all governmental opposition after he was elected.
The Democrats caused every single problem we have had since 2008.
They have held majorities, or had Rino's In every year since.

It's cheaper to get them out this way. It's a cost savings from the Democrat induced border crisis.

Commercial bans are good. I struggle to not see this as price controls. Bluto and Toronto should love it.
Lmao, yeah I support price controls on things like health care? This should be something that a populist leader would try to enact for his poor and uneducated base, which is the modern Republican base. Oh golly gee some poor family in WV is going to get cheaper meds! This is really bad! LOL
