Mexican president reveals U.S. concession Trump failed to mention as tariffs paused

[shasta@lemm.ee]

Yeah I mean that's what has been happening for decades and it's worked out very well for the US. Profits from arms sales and a steady supply of cheap labor from immigrants. Don't know why the Republicans suddenly want to kill their cash cow.

Don't know why the Republicans suddenly want to kill their cash cow.

The average conservative isn't informed or intelligent enough to understand how drastically they benefit from the horrible working conditions that migrant workers deal with, and they hate brown people.

The entire movement has been backing themselves into this corner for decades.

Well if it isn't my old nemesis, unintended consequences.

I would be so tickled if this was the catalyst for stricter gun laws and enforcement.

Don’t know why the Republicans suddenly want to kill their cash cow.

They're not.

Well, except maybe arms exports, but for cheap labor? If you create a class of people without rights, they become very exploitable.

Or you know America could ban the production of new guns and ammunition; and begin destroying guns already in circulation.

So, how quickly do you capitulate to fascists?

[ubergeek@lemmy.today]

The US gets fentanyl enforcement

Nothing was stopping the US from producing fentanyl.

[chiliedogg@lemmy.world]

When fascists start trying to get stricter on guns, it's time to buy more of them.

[mat@jlai.lu]

Well, they already did when they elected the orange turd, didn't they ?

[natakunox@lemmy.world]

Yes cuz clearly all these guns stopped a coup. Also if you think there's going to be battles in the street over fascism, the fighting should have happened a long time ago. Turning back the clock will happen over our blood but not how you are thinking.

[mellowyellow13@lemmy.world]

or maybe your brain is broken

[mellowyellow13@lemmy.world]

How in the hell has it worked out well for the US? Your population and country is a fucking disaster fire

[ubergeek@lemmy.today]

Takes a bit to get bad enough.

[ubergeek@lemmy.today]

Not yet. The impacts haven't hit the ground yet, by and large.

[snapz@lemmy.world]

He has two tricks:

1. Accepting deal wins that aren't wins - So a child had two cookies, you took them both, he starts crying, you give him one of the cookies to soothe him and you eat the other in front of him while he laughs and thinks he's winning. In this examples, trump is the baby.

2. Or, unseen solutions to imaginary problems or problems he created himself - Covers your house in gasoline, sits in a chair and throws lit matches towards it. Then says loudly, NOBODY IS GONNA BURN THIS HOUSE DOWN, YOU GOT IT! And then waits for you to thank him.

[aidskitty@lemmy.world]

Just like Mexico cant stop the flow of drugs America wont be able to stop the flow of guns. Where there is demand people will find a way.

[mat@jlai.lu]

Well, if fascists are in power, USAnians have already capitulated I'd say.

[ubergeek@lemmy.today]

That's true

[farmtaco@lemmy.world]

Robots. we have Robots now, we dont need them.

[belgdore@lemm.ee]

She has to know he’s lying and that this won’t last. I guess we’ll get a series of similar “agreements” until he’s gone.

[nomy@lemmy.zip]

A whole bunch of these people don't get it. They're still stuck in the my side/their side dichotomy. I'd be willing to bet money 90% of lemmy bends the knee and kisses the ring when it's their turn.
