Yep just what I thought, the thread broke down into schitzoposting about puppet string pullers/Russia and cheap gotchas. All clothing is from China, it’s actually one of the justifications for these Tariffs being implemented, agree with them or not it doesn’t change the reasoning, because manufacturing has largely gone overseas from all Western countries. Also why would she be rich or able to afford these things? The Tariffs aren’t implemented yet and she obviously bought them beforehand, I despise this cheap gotcha trash, it’s the reason political discourse is in the gutter, not Trump, not everything has to be a fight to the death no holds bared.

I miss the simple days where Obama mocked people openly for being afraid of Russia and got caught on that hot mic telling Medvedev to give him ‘space’ and that he’d have more ‘flexibility’ after the election. It was just a story, it didn’t become a fanatical obsession for an entire wing of politics for a decade.

We’ve got an ongoing Federal election here in Australia and you can hardly tell. Our political parties solved a lot of these issues decades ago and even though both sides have been in power neither messes with them. To see Americans, Canadians and Europeans bicker endlessly about them is like watching children fight. Illegals? If you come here illegally we will deport you to a foreign nation and there is zero chance you will be allowed to stay, we did this to stop people dying in boats and funding criminal smugglers. Tariffs? We don’t do those because we’re a raw materials exporter primarily. Our current party is Left Wing and has been very cordial and decent when dealing with Trump, not using insults or trying to score points, just making deals which have paid off because the Tariffs on Australia are the lowest. They’ve done a good job and will most likely stay in power, they’re currently overseeing the dissolution of the biggest Union in the country for pretty intense criminal corruption despite them being their biggest supporters. Stop the gotchas, stop the petty,endless sniping at one another.
