    I wonder how much the bump in stock prices were in part due to markets expecting some people to make a lot of purchases before the trump taxes hit…

    Wood prices are going to go through the fucking roof.

    We were planning on redoing our back deck in the Spring, but not now thanks to Fuck Face and his idiotic tariffs.

      …and all his very fucking stupid supporters. Don’t forget to thank them and to remind them that they voted for this shit.

      Also, food prices, too.

      Remember, the tariffs will only come into effect after he deports all the farmers.

    Well those grocery and housing prices are sure to fall now. What are these dumbasses going to do about their circus when electronics will get astronomically expensive. Bunch of stupid Americans.

      The delta between Kamala and donvict is about 1.5%? I wish it was only his fuckface supporters that had to bear the brunt of their stupidity, instead of the majority that did not vote for donvict.

      The only positive in this is that idiot fucking boomers just voted to tax the fuck out of themselves. Retirees may not usually pay income tax… but they’ll sure fucking pay the tariff tax.

      I guess positive thing #2 is that we might bankrupt enough boomers to flood the housing market with foreclosures.

        Got a fucking great deal on my current house following the sub prime fiasco and I was planning on upgrading soon. Guess I’ll have plenty of choices to pick from soon.

    Oh what a shock. Not like he didn’t practice last time being an idiot bully.

    Now they’ve elected their emperor.

    I hope we have Chinese EV factories on the border soon. I look forward to more comments about how much worse China is like last time I said something like that. But fuck you, America, you did this.
