I don't know why anyone bothers responding to "Dondilion", once he spouts off with his nonsense, and gets called on it, he instantly changes the subject to different nonsense, like he did regarding these two posts.

Gonna answer these two questions Dondilion, or will it be yet another nonsense subject change

Input 473:
Visa denials: a common tool used by the US to bring countries in line.
Tariff/the threat of tariff:: another tool.

Rajoo left out an important segment of California's population. I queried.

Trump sounds the same. His White House-so far-couldn't be more different


quote
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But in 10 days, Donald Trump has also frozen federal spending and hiring, offered buyouts to more than two million government workers, and ended federal diversity and transgender-rights efforts. He’s fired nearly two dozen independent inspectors general, rewritten American maps, pardoned Jan. 6 protesters who assaulted police, announced plans to detain migrants at Guantánamo Bay, and undone years of his predecessors’ actions with the stroke of his Sharpie pen.

Trump 2.0 looks and sounds a lot like he did during his first go-around. But this time, the president is far more experienced and surrounded by a team that’s spent years planning for its White House return, unleashing a fusillade of action that is testing the bounds of presidential power, sowing confusion and drawing fury from Democrats unsure how to stop him.

His spending freeze and birthright citizenship EO's were enjoined by the courts within a day of being issued. And yesterday, he blamed the DC plane crash on DEI before the investigation even got started. The second Trump administration is more ideological than it was in his first term, but just as malicious and incompetent.

Trump to tariff Canada and Mexico.


quote
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
President Donald Trump said his 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico are coming on Saturday, but he’s still considering whether to include oil from those countries as part of his import taxes.

“We may or may not,” Trump told reporters Thursday in the Oval Office about tariffing oil from Canada and Mexico. “We’re going to make that determination probably tonight.”
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


quote:

But Trump showed no concerns that import taxes on the United States’ trading partners would have a negative impact on the U.S. economy, despite the risk shown in many economic analyses of higher prices.

“We don’t need the products that they have,” Trump said. “We have all the oil you need. We have all the trees you need, meaning the lumber.”

Some of those peps

Do you realize that Trump is desperate to finance his expiring tax cuts, let alone new tax cuts and so far there is no money to be found. Shutting off the federal spigot did not work nor will chopping the federal workforce yield meaningful returns soon.

So now come the tariffs on Mexican and Canadian imports and we will see how well this flies. Or perhaps this is the economic that he promised and what better way than to be the middle man?

Thank You. For real. If you want to appear fair & balanced when making your points ya gotta answer the questions your posts give rise to. Otherwise it just looks like "hit & run" posting. "Throw anything at the wall & see what sticks", in other words. You have said things I may agree with, and certainly disagree with, but to see you present both sides tends to make you seem, at least, real.......

I just figured the missing 7 percent in Rajoo's post was the African Americans you asked him about. Perhaps that figure may be low......

[Rajoo]

To clarify, I was quoting the population distribution of San Jose and not California.
Since the 'all others' only constitute 7%, why is this significant?

Re US African Americans are significant. They are the salt of the nation.
