Consequences of Feb 1 Tariffs?

You guys need to come over and join me in California where it’s all about team blue. All of you would be so happy here.


It puzzles me why you enjoy vacationing in Mexico when your “team” is so gung-ho to deport them back home and ruin their families. Human decency is not about politics but somehow your “team” has found a way to make it all about politics. Try some kindness towards others from other countries, you might even enjoy it, dare I say.

I don't fault Craig for his conservative leanings. They aren't Trumpian, as far as I can tell, and he genuinely seems like a good guy. And I understand where the "blue team" has strayed far and wide from their path, especially with the 2019 DNC Primary where, when it looked like Bernie had it locked up, the DNC stepped in and ostensibly imposed Hillary, who simply had too much hubris and lost to one of the most despicable humans in the USA. So I'll stick my hand in the fire for Craig and declare him kind "towards others from other countries". People like him aren't the problem, and a conservative party is necessary for balance as long as both sides are willing to reach out to the other and make compromises, the way things used to work.

I have to say I was shocked reading nasty comments in social media to Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde of the Episcopal Church made by the Insurrectionist and his cult followers, but I was encouraged by the responses to their hatred and their threats, especially by atheists like me defending her. I was baptized Episcopalian, and I'm grateful for such an open and welcoming Christian church, especially with a female bishop who speaks truth to power by preaching compassion, though the church loses me at all the god worship stuff. But when atheists defend an Episcopalian Bishop, she must be doing something right to reach out to others and to cross divides. That's what we need more of right now. I see no MAGAts reaching out to anyone.
