We had to witness months of "peaceful" riots. I think a healthy F U Biden is ok since it at least isn't destroying property. Times are different now. It was cool for Katy Griffin to hold a bloody head of trump with little condemnation from the left.

Ah yes, the calls for Trumps murder were just satire as I recall.

The only reason nobody is calling for the murder of Biden is because we all know he'll die of natural causes in the next few months anyway, so just wait the thing out.

Little condemnation??!? WTF? What planet do you live on?

Comedian Kathy Griffin's career TANKED after that incident. She lost all her sponsorships and countless jobs. She's tried apologizing for it a zillion times in hopes of making a comeback, but her career is in the scrap pile.

And don't forget how Trump said that the United States is collecting billions from China in tariffs. Anyone with half a brain knows that's not true. Tariffs are paid by the consumer. Trump took the lid off the crazies. Now they are empowered to spew their fascist and anti-American agenda by playing on peoples fear, ignorance and biases. Trump and his supporters have divided this country like nothing I could have ever imagined. It's almost like Putin has an asset in the highest level of our government.

While all costs that go into bringing a good to market are ultimately borne by the consumer, tariffs are paid by the consumer only if the price of goods actually goes up after the tariffs are applied. In an internationally competitive marketplace, that’s not always a certainty (the substitution effect).

Only if the price goes up???!? Thanks for the clarification, sk8!

I want this guy to give us an example when prices went down after tariffs were added. The whole point of tariffs is to drive up the price so another country's goods are not sold as much in another country.
