Summary
President Joe Biden criticized President-elect Donald Trump’s plan to impose 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico as “counterproductive,” warning it could harm relationships with key trade partners.
Trump announced the tariffs would remain until illegal immigration and fentanyl trafficking are stopped, drawing criticism from economists who argue the costs would fall on consumers.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum disputed Trump’s claim that she agreed to “close borders.” Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stressed the importance of maintaining strong U.S.-Canada trade ties in response to the proposal.
Understandable, but don’t you think that’s exactly how people thought when Trump was transitioning to Biden? What do you propose that would be different from that, other than being on the other side?
Not like I’m happy that Trump is gonna be in office but the people get what they vote for. It’s problematic when that doesn’t become the case. Well, might still be before then but it’s hard to protect people from themselves.
yeah, if we do that both sides are indistinguishable
cant tell the difference, no sir
just a couple-a old dudes that are entirely the same in every way
I’m not saying the sides aren’t different. I’m arguing that the actions being suggested are not. Acting against what people voted for seems pretty bad to me, no matter what.
Yeah, you’re right.
Is the moral value of an action defined by the action, or by its effect?
Thats what they want you to think. The truth is there is but one tried and true path. They want you to think it would be no difference than Jan 6ers. But fucken Biden didnt quid pro quo cabinet positions, or try to sic a mob on the VP, or have them smear shit on the walls in the capital. Actions may look the same on the surface but intent is not. Never let them tell you hanging Mussolini was a wrong and terrible act that made them no different than him.
