Haven't had a drink in 2 days. I don't need to prove it. You know you are lying, everyone does. (except the really stupid ones).

I know that we rarely agree on anything but we clearly agree on Dave's intellect, maturity and character. Or should I say lack thereof, in terms of all three of those parameters.

How long until he gets banned (jimi)again?

Who owns the company in Vietnam?

Good point. It's not visible.

If you get granular, who knows if it's really made in Vietnam.

WATCH: As she left RFK JR’s
@RobertKennedyJr
hearing today, Elizabeth Warren
@SenWarren
lied to
@LoomerUnleashed

@TheCharlesDowns
, saying, “I don’t take contributions from big Pharma executives, I don’t take any corporate PAC money, and you and your allies already know that.” Warren was responding to our question asking, “Is your acceptance of $5.2 million from the Big Pharma industry since 2020 the reason why you don’t want RFK JR suing big Pharma?” Records show that Senator Warren has taken over $5.2 million from Big Pharma and the medical industrial complex since 2020.

No, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren aren’t top recipients of pharmaceutical industry donations
Behind misleading claim by RFK Jr. is a quirk in the OpenSecrets site

No, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren aren’t top recipients of pharmaceutical industry donations

A quirk in the website OpenSecrets has given RFK Jr. a chance to misleadingly portray Sen. Bernie Sanders as receiving big money from big Pharma.

The USA restricts ownership too. In a big way.

Tic Toc is just the latest.

I don't think Tik Tok is a good example.

Completely unconvincing argument on a number of levels. If Canada is a smokescreen, then why the "51st state" rhetoric??

I still think something like the "51st state" is the animosity Trump has for Trudeau. The method to the aggressive madness towards an allied leader is that Trump sends a message to the rest of the allies........don't diss me, don't push me.

If America's long term goal is to level its balance of trade with the rest of the world, shouldn't that be a carefully thought through plan that is put into effect by Congress?

It would never happen. You might understand that lobbyists with industry money would flood the halls of Congress with money to get the results they wanted.

And you know why your something is now made in VN and not China??...... Because the importer switched source countries to avoid tariffs. Trump tariffs VN and suddenly the same item will come from Indonesia, or Malawi, or Ecuador.

No disagreement.

Same shit with the Colombian guy?

And we all find other certain people annoying. But - important difference - we don't fuck with ours and their economies in a juvenile dick swinging duel because of it.

Earp, try and make a case that your guy is fit to be PotUS!

That would never happen with Trump, would it?
