The Official Politics Thread (enter at your own risk)

[Come On You Irons]

There. Resident WHO political commentators and gurus can knock yourselves out in here and conduct your endless bickering. All other threads will be locked.

Goose, it’s Sunday, take a day off! 

All this constant arguing can’t be good for your blood pressure mate. 
For someone as succesful as you proclaim to be you sure don’t act like it. Why are you so constantly constipated?

 

It does amuse me that you’re throwing around insults and replying in equal measure, but accuse me of constantly arguing.

my blood pressure is just fine thanks, having a good laugh is definitely good for my health. Please don’t ever change.

And I’ll be laughing all the way to the bank.

Have a good day pal! Cha Ching!

Yeh if only I’d had the genius idea to buy Nvidia & Apple shares like you did. Where did you get such a tip off?

The only thing more embarrassing than your Warren Buffet act, is Trump’s tariff backtracking

Where did I get the tip off to buy Apple and Nvidia? That would be when you came on here bragging that everyone was selling tech stocks.

Hope that helps! 

must suck to sell the bottom Goose! Explains why you are so desperate for a win.

Keep digging I’m sure you’ll find a win eventually, somewhere.

I haven’t bought or sold anything recently. You’re the one who keeps giving it Warren buffet on here with your ground breaking tips. I’m still not sure who’s validation you’re seeking.

People were selling tech stocks because of those idiotic tariffs you were lauding, they’ve rebounded because Trump had to backtrack.

The only win is watching Trump have to backtrack on his ill thought our tariffs.

[BillyJenningsBoots]

Nobody does tariffs like the Donald.

 

 

Yeah no one flip flops like the Trumpster!

I hear he's now back tracking on China's tarriffs because someones realised most of the iPhones are made there along with a load of the chips and semiconductors which are in every tech product inc US made cars! Who knew!

Fucking idiots!

And all this back tracking and supposed deals they are all going to do after kissing his ass will result in what.... low tarrifs so no $2bn a day in revenues (paid by the US businesses and tax payers) and no manufacturing needs to move to the US as tarrifs will be low... continued trade deficits cos no ones gonna buy US goods now. So whats it all for except a pump and dump to benefit his and his cronies bank balances. 

Best US President ever

How much longer before everyone just becomes completely bored with fucking tariffs in the news, if not already? There's only so long that fucking tariffs can be newsworthy surely, the average Joe doesn't give a fuck. 

Why the fuck would anyone put there money in the States now, absolute fucking shit show. You have to wonder where Trump's advisors are (people that actually have a clue and at least half a fucking brain) or does he just ignore them? if so, why have any. Shame he wasn't killed.

Imagine if Donald was JOE.

Sydney, the Duck’s power is because the Senate and Congress are both majority Republican. More often than not this is not the case and the mid term elections might change the balance such that one house changes its majority and if the incumbent is felt to be making a horlicks of things both houses change to democrats. Quite often Presidents have faced terms where Senate and Congress have been of the opposition and they just get on with it.

When considering power look at the position Starmer is in whereby he has a massive HoC majority and yet only about a third of the electorate voted for him. A situation that is not at all representative of how the UK voted.

That is because FPTP is predicated on there being a two party system.
Any more than two parties makes parliament inherently unrepresentative of the electorate's views.
Theoretically MPs are meant to represent all their constituents but party politics always wns out in the end.

90 days pause on Tariffs from the Orange man! what's the odds we get nowhere near 90 days before he changes his mind again? blokes flip flopping all over the place! Still can't believe the Septic's tell us how free they are compared to the rest of the world, yet once a President (1 person with more power than any other democratically elected PM or similar) is elected that's it for 4 years, at least if the British,Canadian or Australian PM behaved like this, he/she would be replaced quick smart by their own party.

And fucks knows what to believe in the media, both sides are biased to fuck, Trump has either got the Chinese on the ropes with this tariff nonsense or he capitulated because of them. WTF

Tariff situation maybe does need addressing, just not sure the Trump version of a pissed off Bull in a China shop is the best way forward? He also seems to have put a good portion of friendly countries offside as well including Australia who so far have given him a bit of a "meh" won't respond with tariffs of our own and a bit pissed at how we are being treated, given the USA exports more to us that we send to them, Trump has also gone quiet on his claims that Australia bans beef from the USA, turns out that's BS, whist we will accept imports from the USA, due to bio security restriction we don't accept meat from ANY country if its sourced from a 3rd party. 

Agriculture department confirms US beef not banned in Australia - ABC NewsThe Australian Department of Agriculture has confirmed there is no ban on importing United States beef."Import conditions into Australia are currently available for beef products sourced from cattle born, raised and slaughtered in the United States (US)," a department statement read."However, the US has not commenced trade under these terms and has requested to expand its access to include beef products sourced from cattle from Mexico and Canada and legally imported into the US for export to Australia.

Trump's Liz Truss impression.
As Margaret Thatcher said you can't buck the markets.Muach as I disgreed with her a lot she was right here.
A protracted USA/China would hurt both countries of course and tech expecially with their long and complicated supply chains. Just take an iPhone - processors and glass made in the USA, screens in South Korea, other chips, accelerometers and the rest from wherever made using rare earths from China, DRC etc and all assembled mostly in China.
I am not that Trump does complication given the dumb formula used to calculate the tariffs (which are unilateral btw) in the first place.
