@CBears74 @Sporaticus_ @LindseyBoylan @elonmusk It was merely an absurd joke.

@fourtbus @Sporaticus_ @LindseyBoylan @elonmusk The Taliban famously loves Ben Stein.

@fourtbus @Sporaticus_ @LindseyBoylan @elonmusk We're just going to use the threat of tariffs against the Taliban to get lower heroin prices.

@TheStalwart Trick question. She isn't registered to vote because she doesn't want to get called for jury duty.

Remember when "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" tried to teach us about tariffs and no one was paying attention

[Brian Donlen @briandonlen]

@hansjohnsonlive No. I gave you an example of a promise Trump made constantly that never had a chance of coming to fruition, and you claimed that a different set of circumstances made that promise unnecessary. He was still trying to get the wall built (with U.S. $) his entire first term.

@hansjohnsonlive Keep moving the goalposts and everything is a winning tactic.

[Brian Donlen @briandonlen]

@LearnxDr That's a pimento loaf on the right.

[Brian Donlen @briandonlen]

@hansjohnsonlive Yes, the same way Mexico paid for the border wall. We'll see.

[Brian Donlen @briandonlen]

@hansjohnsonlive That's a lovely 17th Century fantasy. Manufacturing will go to other lesser developed countries without tariffs long before it is ever onshored. The cheaper alternatives are seldom going to be U.S. made.

[Brian Donlen @briandonlen]

@hansjohnsonlive Tariffs on imported goods are paid by the American importers and their customers. They are a tax on American businesses and consumers. Pretty simple analogy.

[Brian Donlen @briandonlen]

@MikeJATP @Sporaticus_ @LindseyBoylan @elonmusk If their supply is cut off (which it won't ever be by these tariffs) and the overwhelming demand still exists, they will certainly find a way to manufacture fentanyl or something to take its place. Do you really not understand how pure black market capitalism works?

[Brian Donlen @briandonlen]

@MikeJATP @Sporaticus_ @LindseyBoylan @elonmusk Are you saying American workers and drug entrepreneurs don't have the intelligence and wherewithal to compete with the Mexicans and Chinese? Do you not believe in American exceptionalism?

[Brian Donlen @briandonlen]

@MikeJATP @Sporaticus_ @LindseyBoylan @elonmusk I'm saying I hope that it results in exactly what the goal of protectionist tariffs always is: making American consumers switch to American manufactured alternatives like Fentanyl produced by hard working U.S. citizens in U.S. facilities. Do you not understand Mercantalism?

[Brian Donlen @briandonlen]

@MikeJATP @Sporaticus_ @LindseyBoylan @elonmusk Attacking the supply side of illegal drugs has worked incredibly well to end drug use in this country over the last 50+ years. I'm sure this time will work, though.

@KarmaTharase @frickeville @Angry_Staffer What he thinks holding cash means.

[Brian Donlen @briandonlen]

@frickeville @KarmaTharase @Angry_Staffer If you believe moving a 401k to cash means withdrawing funds and incurring a penalty, there's a high probability you are not as educated as you seem to think.

[Brian Donlen @briandonlen]

@LeadingReport Which regulations, exactly?
