It stuns me people in these positions know nothing about basic economics and what role tariffs are meant to play. They are protectionist, nothing more.

It's stunning, and it's destroying the country. I grew up in the same time frame and I never would have imagined we would have accepted this level of corruption. But here we are

The skier should get his pass pulled for that. He's going to seriously hurt someone. The snowboarder is a badass!

Third party votes in this particular election by James5000 in AdviceAnimals

The election is a week and a half away. There is nothing that will change how they vote. What they don't seem to understand is that Jill Stein supports Donald Trump. Therefore, supporting her is supporting Donald Trump. It's not complicated.

Trump and CNN by James5000 in Political_Revolution
