You (the hard left) I'm so sick of that characterization. I'm objectively more conservative than you are. have gone all-in with the "bully" key word. It is stupid You know I like words. I stick up for them when they are misrepresented. You misrepresent "negotiate" in a way that compromises clarity and understanding so I corrected you. There was nothing political about my post. As for the hard left, I seriously doubt that anyone in that category ever gave the dictionary a moment's thought. They're just politically outraged by the behavior and they call it out. It is great that it has moved to "all-in" so quickly. And there you go, changing the subject again to one of your rants without a turn signal. You're slipping up. You missed in your rant the ubiquitous mention of Biden. There's a lot going on in this paradigm shift. I'm not particularly interested in the tariff thing and I'm following it only loosely. You apparently haven't noticed my lack of commentary on the subject. Instead, you have imagined and assumed it. The only thing I have pointed out about tariffs is definitional, that they are a tax on purchasers and not a country's source of income. What interests me most about what's going on, since we're on the subject, are 1) the autocracy thing, 2) the coarsening and dumbing down of our culture, 3) the US standing in the world, and 4) the phenomenon of paradigm shift. You politicals can argue the rest of it to your heart's delight--without me.
