There May Be 450 Million EU citizens to America's 350, Karsenty Tells BFMTV Round Table, "But Their Purchasing Power Is Far Lower than That of the Americans"

 
After announcing on BFMTV over two months ago that tariffs is "a key negotiating strategy of Donald Trump's," Philippe Karsenty adds at a BFMTV News Box round table (1:21:11-1:32:11) that also "Geopolitics is a very important subject for Donald Trump," pointing out that the greater number of EU citizens over America's is irrelevant, given that their purchasing power is far lower than that of the Americans. 

Droits de douane: Philippe Karsenty, porte-parole de "Comité Trump France", explique que "la géopolitique est très importante pour Donald Trump"

Le président américain Donald Trump a annoncé vendredi avoir recommandé l'instauration de droits de douane de 50% sur les biens en provenance de l'Union européenne à compter du 1er juin.
Dans un message sur son réseau Truth Social, le chef de la Maison blanche déplore que les négociations commerciales soient "très difficiles" avec les Européens.

The politicians and 'journos' and 'analysts' who now say they were duped by the Biden 'administration' are neither contrite nor forthcoming about their complicity; They have been caught and are up to their same tricks lying about their being caught lying.

Thanks, says Damian Bennett, but no thanks:

THX to those sending me links from the interview avalanche of politicians and 'journos' and 'expert' panelists and 'analysts' and 'big brain' celebrities who now say they were duped, gaslit, played, or lied to by Biden and the Biden 'administration', BUT -- but no THX. The people interviewed have not 'come to Jesus', they are neither contrite nor forthcoming about their complicity, they are not suddenly amazingly informed or invested in the truth. They have been caught. They have been caught and are up to their same tricks lying about their being caught lying.

In the long years from 2015 through 2024 I watched hundreds and hundreds of hours of interviews of these same liars lying. I watched them then because I felt obliged so I might stay current, so the lies did not outrun me, so I might have an edge. But in 2025, what does it profit me -- or you -- watching Jake Tapper -- f*cking Jake f*cking Tapper of f*cking C-f*cking-N-N -- continue to lie, but differently?
Jake Tapper tears the 'coupable mais non responsable' page from the French liars playbook (the Plan B defense when the 'innocent par affirmation personnelle' defense fails), but has added his own special corollary, 'Hey! BUY MY BOOK and let's move on.'

What about Chuck Todd or Joe Scarborough or lesser lights like Chris Cillizza or Ana Kasparian or James Carville (OH! Pa-pa-PUH-leeze!) or George Clooney? These people are not sincere. They have not been red-pilled. They are prima facie dishonest. They are liars peddling new lies. These people will continue robbing your time with now-I-can-tell-it bogusity* interviews and soundbites. You will never learn a single truth from liars playing at truth-telling
* bo·gus·it·y, (bō'gŏs'ĭ-tē), n. = 1. Contemptuous discordance with the truth or facts; 2. A lie or lies supporting another lie or lies; 3. Utter bogusness;4. Political discourse and discursus 

The number of yesteryear liberals who, while remaining liberal, freely entered the light before November 5 are few: Elon Musk, RFKJ, Tulsi Gabbard, Joe Rogan, Bret Weinstein, Mark Halperin (?) -- add your own.

THINK BACK. [Pause to back-think.] When did you -- without benefit of WH access, anonymous sources, research departments, analysts, pundits, experts, medical professionals, and celebrities -- when did you first know Joe Biden wasn't right? 

Was it this? Because that surely ain't right.

...or this?
“We hold these truths to be self-evident,” the former vice president said during a campaign event in Texas on Monday. “All men and women created by — you know, you know, the thing.”


...or this?

...or this?

...or this?
[Dammit facts! So tricky. Zero times. Three times. Hard to get that right on the first go.]
...or was it this?
Biden Wanders Lost On Stage At White House Event April 5, 2022
Literally no one wants to talk to Joe Biden.

Odds are by the end of 2022 you weren't waiting on Jake Tapper to clue you about Biden. 

If you truly want some truth, here is some truth:

What then is the correct response to this truth, the truth of liars who lied to your face, lie now, and will continue lying?

The correct response to the inveterate liar, the remorseless liar is to hate the liar -- NOT hate the lie, NOT hate the sin, but HATE THE LIAR. Liessin, evil of themselves have no power, no sway, no actuality without the agency of the sinner. Pew-warmers recoil! — "HATE! Oh no, we mustn't hate! No, no, hate the sin, not the sinner(s)! We mustn't hate the sinner(s)!" This is phony Christian piety pled by, usually, 'Christian' progressives but also non-Christians or the anti-religious. It is not found in the Bible, so to give it the heft of authority, pleaders try to hijack St. Augustine, whose "cum dilectione hominum et odio vitiorum" is a very fanciful stretch to 'hate the sin, not the sinner'. Specifically Christ loved the penitent sinner and generally makes plain His contempt for and final judgment on the conceited, the stubborn, the impenitent sinner (for examplesMatthew 22:11-14 and Matthew 13:27-30). It is why Christ suffering on the cross takes a moment to comfort Dismas and ignores the taunts of Gestas. What progressives want you to do is lump all sinners (scil., everyone, the contrite and the unregenerate) in one big forgiving Christian love pot. Not so. Apokatastasis in the primitive Church was perhaps the first seeding of modern Christian progressivism. Christ's judgment is not compatible with 'hate the sin, not the sinner'. Sinners are to be punished, cast into outer darkness, there shall be weeping and gnashing of teethDignum et justum.

If you do not hate the thing that is deadset on deceiving you, controlling you, imprisoning you, destroying you, that, dear friends, is why you will always be lied to.

"OH!" exclaim friends, "Well, thank God for that stalwart yeoman athwart the truth -- the conservative press!" [Long hard pause.] Except, except the conservative press is pretty much for shit as well. Here are three tests of a truthful newsroom:
  1. 2020 election, was it stolen? A: YES.
  2. Was COVID a natural-occuring zoonotic virus? Is experimental gene therapy a vaccine? As a practical matter, should a rushed insufficiently safety-tested therapy whose manufacturers are wholly indemnified be aggressively promoted? Mandated by government?  A: No. No. No. NO.
  3. Was January 6 an insurrection? Were policemen killed? Did DJT incite the crowd to violence?  A: No. No. NO.
Please let me know where the 'conservative' press investigated and correctly reported these answers, then steadfastly defended them. Here and there, here and there, count them on one hand: ZeroHedge, Breitbart, Instapundit, ¡No Pasarán! (THX, ES); independent voices: Joe Rogan, Neil Oliver, Paul Joseph Watson, X (post-Twitter), Glenn Greenwald (!?) -- add your own. It wasn't until Trump revenant that the 'conservative' press at large found dentures to bite and a stiff whale-bone corset for a spine. 

SO. Again, THX for the links, but no THX. Please, send no more. I'm not in the market for more lies from liars lying about their lying. I hate those people. For your own protection, I would encourage you to do so as well.
