    So you'd rather they buy more expensive US steel and not pass those savings on to customers?

    Of course, now, the customers are shafted either way.

    Apparently Hegseth got someone to dig up at least one Army enlisted man who at some point in the past won a medal and intends to rename the Fort back to Fort Bragg in the name of Private Bragg (WINK WINK FUCKING WINK!) in evasion of Congressional mandate.

    Ya know, Warrior Priorities and all that jazz

    Fuckstick banned the Associated Press from the Oval Office for not going along with his "Gulf of America" silliness.

    On the whole, this is probably good. If they aren't terrified of losing access (because they've already lost it), maybe they'll be willing to stop sanewashing him and call a lie a lie.

    Seriously, just look at them folding without any resistance whatsoever. The NEA just decides art's not as important as nationalist rhetoric.

    To the contrary, he's got the "fuck you, i've got mine" covered.

    And I think it's an arguably reasonable libertarian position (to the extent that is not oxymoronic) to say that the car companies made their choice to buy steel from who they bought from, they made the government grow into the monster it is, so it's fitting that they are getting screwed by the government's intervening to slap these tariffs on foreign steel and cost them money. In my perfect libertarian world, the government wouldn't be slapping tariffs on anybody, but big business is reaping what they sow.

    For me and other non-americans it says Gulf of Mexico(Gulf of America)...
    Although this might've been changed after other people complained
    It's like how the French have their own name for the English Channel...

    Say, remember when some loon took the "freebird" scene from "Kingsman" and made all the bullet recipients MSNBC and CNN people, and had them talk with monster voices, and one of them was like "I'll come after your kids!"?
    Well, here's Elon doing that shit, and safe to assume the MAGAs are either silent, or cheering.
    Every accusation...

    The media hasn’t had time to catch up, but Orange Man is now claiming we have less debt than previously reported. If you really want to roil the markets just start claiming fraud and refuse to pay your bond holders. I’m sure that will go over well with China, Japan, and the European Union.

    I would prefer they voluntarily choose domestic materials and find those savings in executive salaries, but it must be a choice.

    Correct.

    For the record, I am opposed to protectionism, but I'm not going to shed a single tear for the US auto industry.

    uh oh the count went above 2 and the simpleton got lost. statements like this illustrate a complete lack of understanding of well anything. i have to say though when you try to boil everything down to yes/no, good/bad as the only options it does 'simplify' stuff but it also makes you look monumentally stupid.
