Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Japan's Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba has said he will not make "big concessions" to Donald Trump in order to get a trade deal wrapped up ahead of talks due to start on April 17 in Washington, but also said on Monday that he would not be imposing retaliatory tariffs on U.S. imports.

Ishiba told parliament that Japan needs to understand Trump's views on tariffs and trade "in terms of the logic and the emotional elements" behind them, Reuters reported.

Has anyone made it clear to him that that's an option? Like - we'd all be okay with it... Please.

I personally do not want that worthless lazy freeloading piece of trash to vacation on my dime anymore.

Looking at the stock markets, I feel like the cost of him vacationing (and taking Vance with him) cost would be cheaper on the avg American tax payer’s retirement account than another round of tariffs.
