Ironically enough, back in the latter 19th and early 20th century, the Republicans tended to be the more protectionist of the two parties. The infamous Messrs. Hawley and Smoot were both Republicans.
Republicans broadly agree that illegal immigration is undermining American labor. That scapegoat is papering over some real schisms in the party wrt to trade policy.
I have a lot of agreement with this. But I’m even wary of using the threat of tariffs as leverage. That said, I also realize that the world runs on leverage and we do have to use what leverage we do have.
You saved the 200 calories and went with the healthy choice, eh?If you are paying $10 for a Big Mac Meal then I'd guess you are either in an airport or in Manhattan.
$9.19 today, in one of the most expensive areas in Florida (Jupiter). I haven't bought a Big Mac in a decade (I'm no roly poly McMurt type) but I had to verify the claim and I picked up a Filet O Fish for my trouble. Kind of meh.

No fries with my FoF, so I saved more than that. But the bun is still too sweet. Like Wonder bread. And the amount of tartar sauce is a bit much.
The 200 calories is just the difference between the sandwiches. 210 actually, according to their website.
I guarantee it’s on his regular stops….you know the “doc” ain’t cooking for some “man”
@outside shooter is a conservative except for when he’s hanging around mens’ bathrooms. That’s when his progressive side kicks in.
You went out of your way to drive to McDonalds and take a picture and post it here to disprove Marv’s point about a BigMac Meal costing $10?If you are paying $10 for a Big Mac Meal then I'd guess you are either in an airport or in Manhattan.

McDonald’s Exec Says Average Menu Item Costs 40% More Than In 2019
The company will also soon offer a $5 value meal for roughly a month, beginning June 25.www.today.com
Add in sales tax, and yeah, $10 is the closest whole number. Good job, Marv.
Marvin, we are producing more because Trump began the process to energy independence and we achieved it. We are still living off that process. You don't turn it on and off with a switch.I keep hearing this war on fossil fuels yet we are producing more today than ever. Saudi Arabia decided that oil should cost $100 and based their production on that price point. They just abandoned it and will increase production in December.
This is good because it completely screws Russia which needs high oil to fund the war.
Blow to Putin's War Machine As Saudi Arabia Ramps Up Oil Production
Saudi Arabia is prepared to abandon its $100-a-barrel crude oil price target as it moves to increase output, signaling its acceptance of lower prices.www.newsweek.com
So when we look at the cost of oil, even if we produced more oil, OPEC+ would have reduced production even more to keep it at $100.
We care because we remember what happened when we allowed a dictator in the 1930s to annex land without a fight.
He's not in demand because he's just not that good at it.
I do not know if you noticed, much of the world fell into recession
Parlayed it into the main role of CNN's failed streaming service that left a stink on him. He's the older, less attractive, male version of Megan Kelly.
This is 100% false.
You need to educate your fellow MAGAs. A significant portion are isolationist, pro-Russia, anti-Ukraine, and anti-NATO. I can’t pretend to be on the same team with them. That’s libtard crap, not conservative.
A significant portion aren’t isolationist. But they are tired wars like we started against Iraq. They want no more of Cheney’s war mongering.
We have isolationist MAGAs on the WC. We have other MAGAs that pretend that’s a small and isolated, rather than growing group. It’s growing and there is no defense for those that are anti-Ukraine, pro-Russia and anti-NATO. They might as well wear pony tails and tie died t-shirts.
I just want other countries to foot more of the bills. We can’t keep printing money at the rate we’re printing.
They are not. This is a LIE.
You really do not know jack squat about this subject. I’m serious. You can STFU about it. You’re not worth reading.
You did not address the readily available data I shared that shows you are WRONG.
You don’t know anything at all, zip, about the history of security cooperation, the benefits of security cooperation, and why we do security cooperation. It’s like you’re a first grader. I don’t have the patience for your ignorance. You’re an ignorant guy who has a massively inflated regard for your own opinion. So stop. Move on to something you might not be ignorant about.
It would be more accurate to start looking at the rest of the countries in NATO as our protectorates rather than our military allies we cooperate with.
Don't worry about him.
She must be slow then -- it only takes Trump 1/2 seconds to come across that way.
He doesn’t support bail projects and defund and open borders and the rest. He’s a genius policy wise compared to her. Nothing is worse than progressives. Nothing
They now have these things called missiles, jets and satellites.
That's crap.
