Drill Baby Drill...the US Politics Thread (Part 2)

That will be ignored.like everything else, they are just doing what they like!
The only possibility is that if SCOTUS gets pissed off with being sidelined they could maybe make life difficult for the Orange rodent.

Between this and the measles outbreak, being MAGA should be grounds for losing custody of your children.

I’m seeing a lot of crap from RFK lately. It swings wildly from misunderstanding to deliberately misappropriating the results in studies. He is dangerous!

I’m just trying to work out what this will affect.

I found the following as list of major export items:
Soybeans: $15 billion.
Civilian aircraft: $8.4 billion.
Cotton: $3.4 billion.
Copper materials: $3 billion.
Passenger vehicles (small engines): $3 billion.
Aluminium materials: $2.4 billion.
Passenger vehicles (large engines): $2.2 billion.
Electronic integrated circuits: $1.7 billion.

The aircraft could potentially switch to Airbus and the like, but these will be long standing orders. The cotton will probably affect clothing prices. The Soybean is the surpring one. That could mess up some food staples.

I think I saw that the soy bean import was mainly to feed pigs. I dont know if there’s another option but it wouldnt surprise me if they have one in mind already.

Still, I’m struggling to see how the US “wins” this stupid ego driven exchange.

They won’t, but Trump will claim whatever happens as a win, so to his supporters it will be a win.

Isn’t there a wild theory that lead poisoning might have been a factor in bringing down the Roman Empire?
