CNBC and others are now reporting the China tariffs are actually 145% because the original 125% reported did not include the existing 20% fentanyl penalty...

The big thing that he did the past few days has been complete and utter market manipulation. I don’t think he intends to do anything except punish China and everything else is just to make him money.

The thing with this is that so much comes from China, even components for things like "American" cars. Wall Street is celebrating, but on Main Street, things have only gotten worse. Pretty much everything is still going to skyrocket in price. Nothing good will ever come from this for anyone but...

My voting mistake keeps on curb-stomping me as I try to atone for my sins. My wife and I both woke up out of our MAGA brainwashing, though our son and much of her family are still firmly indoctrinated. I've written email and left voicemail for our Senators, Angus King and Susan "Concerned"...

I’m going to say this once and then return to my indefinite hiatus: This is what I deserve for being a single issue voter. We are expecting things to get very bad here in Maine. I asked for it and therefore can’t blame anyone but myself. My kind and I did this to you all. I’m sorry about what’s...

I would never use a slur against another person. I was raised better than that. I also would never wish anyone dead for anything, let alone something as trivial as an opposing viewpoint. I said this over DM to Magnus when they reached out to me to apologize for what’s gone on in this thread...

I’m going to bow out of the Politics forum. I probably shouldn’t ever have come in here at all. This really isn’t a place for opposing viewpoints.

I voted based on what was best for my family. I can’t afford to take into account issues that don’t directly impact us. I did way too much of that in the past. If you want to send threatening messages to me (as several have done this afternoon) or wish death upon me based on my choices, so be...

Wow, I hadn't realized it was that short a time.

A wild Xiomara appeared!

While I did have an EzSpark account, I really didn't move fully over from ATT until just after the split. Not sure when that was. Regardless, it feels like forever ago. Happy Anniversary to all!

To whomever changed the title: thank you. Also good vocab word of the day! Redivivus: come back to life; reborn. I can't argue with you on the technicality. Legally, those are true based on the case awaiting sentencing. I'd prefer thread titles in this forum remain neutral though. I think it...

All I’m asking for is a bit of fairness in thread titles. It makes this place less welcoming for someone who doesn’t share a certain point of view. I try to treat all sides with respect. All opinions are welcome in my book and healthy debate is a good thing. I don’t think this name calling and...

There’s a certain irony in the fact that the liberals are now the nazis.

Can we please change the name of this thread to something more respectful, regardless of the content inside? Otherwise, in the interest of fairness, the Democratic Party thread should also be renamed something snarky and critical.

There was no widespread fraud in 2020 or 2024. People need to stop with this nonsense. All it does is destabilize peoples’ faith in the electoral process. We are better than this.

Most of us; not all.

I definitely think these are positive changes (though I did enjoy browsing the home page). Anything that simplifies processes while also lowering resource use is definitely a net positive. Has it really been 25 years? Crazy...

Before I moved from PA to ME in June, we removed our mezuzah (Hebrew prayers on a tiny parchment scroll in a decorative case affixed to doorways of Jewish homes) from our doorway as it was attracting some anti-Semitic attention. I haven't bothered to put it back up here in Maine, since it's far...

For those of you worried about RFK Jr. It was pretty obvious that Trump was going to toss him aside as soon as he past the finish line. I expect the same for Musk.
