He is back before it is official!

Yeah, this has been going on for a couple of years now. US based steel company Cleveland Cliffs has 3 steel mills along here on Lake Michigan near Gary, IN US Steel. US Steel rejected Cliffs’ offer to buy. US Steel accepted Nippon’s offer. It was agreed that US Steel would keep its iconic name.

The USW union has been fighting this since day one. Nippon has promised the union that they will continue to invest billions of dollars in upgrades to ensure that these US Steel facilities continue to operate for decades to come. The mayor of Gary, IN is excited by the potential purchase. US Steel has facilities in Mon Valley and Clairton near Pittsburgh. Those mayors are supporting the purchase also.

Meanwhile, both Chump and Biden have been outspoken about the proposed Nippon US Steel purchase. They both are against this. Right now, the ball is in Biden’s court. Supposedly he has the power to reject this purchase. A decision is reportedly to be made soon by Biden.

Personnally I wished that US Steel would have accepted the bid to buy from Cleveland Cliffs. Nippon offered a lot more. If Nippon’s promises billions in upgrades and 10 years of jobs security come true then it may turn out to be a good deal. Because currently there is a reason that US Steel wants to sell. I’m not sure in its current state of affairs that they will or will not close any plants.
Joe's waiting on Hunter to complete his shakedown, er due diligence, of Nippon before rendering a decision.

New YorkCNN —
US Steel shareholders overwhelmingly approved a deal for the iconic American manufacturer to be purchased by Japan’s Nippon Steel. But the outlook for the controversial merger has never looked so bad.

The deal is significant, not just for the future of what is still a key US industry central to building everything from cars to appliances to roads and bridges, it is also at the center of election year politics and relations between the United States and Japan, a major ally.

There was no resistance from Biden to this takeover.

Where's your concern about this move?
Looks like Biden blocked the Nippon Steel deal to buy U.S. Steel.
 
He did and it surprised the hell out of me. I honestly don't think it was his idea, but that someone told him to do it. Right now, Joe doesn't know much of anything.
Well, Nippon Steel and U.S. Steel are suing the government over this. So, it ain't over yet.
 
By all means you should simply accept what trump tells you as fact. Good minion.

Bob, your article was written Nov 28th. The article that @Quix0te linked was from Dec 12, so his is more recent. I know your TDS makes it impossible to give Trump credit for anything, but the Mexican President appears to be moving because of Trump.

Here's more from the article that you probably didn't read:

The timing is no coincidence,” said Eduardo Guerrero, a security analyst in Mexico City. “President Sheinbaum’s agenda has changed radically with the triumph of Trump and with the threats he directed at Mexico.”

There is deep anxiety here about the potentially devastating impacts of tariffs on an already sluggish economy that is heavily dependent on trade. The United States accounts for more than 80% of Mexico’s exports.

They were clearly not prepared for Trump winning the way he won, and Trump saying the things he has said since the election,” said Jorge Castañeda, a former foreign secretary. “So they are doing what they can to catch up, a little on the fly. To make Trump and the Americans in general feel like she is trying to do things to make Trump happy.”

For all of these countries that are so dependent on the US for trade, Trump is going to win every one of those negotiations. They have almost zero leverage.
Biden/Harris on the other hand, would have been hoodwinked into agreeing to some economic catastrophe.
 
Not everything happens because of trump's threats.
Hey Bob, I didn't want you to miss this:

"Calls for Trudeau's resignation gained momentum after U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's announcement of a potential blanket 25% tariff on Canada and Mexico if they don't take stronger action against illegal immigration and drug trafficking concerns. Trump has targeted Trudeau and Canada in recent days, with the president-elect appearing to joke about Canada becoming the 51st state with Trudeau as governor. Some of Trudeau's critics have suggested he is unable to stand against Trump's economic pressure and bullying."

She was just elected in October! She also campaigned on taking a tougher approach to the cartels and drug trafficking than her predecessor. Not everything happens because of trump's threats.

I had such a great conversation back in October with John Thune as our Guest Speaker of our local 'Bean Dinner'. He provided such great intel of the national approach on what the party wanted to do moving forward and how we would strengthen the mindset of people/voters.

I completely understand people will differ from my thinking, but never understood the mindset of targeting the minority of people. This approach killed the hopes of the DNC.....:)

If you divide the country and many are driven a lot by one item and those divided are victims then then you play to all those divided on singular items to try to win. Power and control are the dems goal because they know better than us

As long as the people get some free stuff they don’t care or fail to recognize what’s happening to them under the democratic regime. They continue to vote for the Democrats no matter how bad it gets.

There is a whole fundamental difference between what you state and what is. Also, this wasn't a Biden versus TRump scenario, but the dems were referenced. It is a fundamental difference that would be explained if you read a meaningful book in showing how two sides operate...as I've stated many times before. This book written in 2007 explains that...after many years of research. It shows the constrained versus the unconstrained vision and although everyone has a bit of both sides, the conservatives take on a constrained vision mostly and the liberals take on an unconstrained vision. Unaware of the ideology of both might seem confusing, but once you understand, it is clearer. Or read some reviews to get a feel...

The only thing Biden used his power for was to make sure his family made a ton of $.
Not really. Biden welcomed and kissy-huggied millions of illegals, he prevent Israel from taking out Iran's nuclear enrichment facilities, he got America's grade school children groomed to become transgenders, he got gasoline up to $5/gal and he cancelled student debt for thousands of deadbeats.

and he is not done with pardons, hostages, trying to prevent drilling and anything he can do to prevent Trump from doing what America wants
 
Isn't that what he should be doing?

or keep the border open, horrible US economy, spending for foreign wars that have created more US debt, trending higher gas prices, less US household spending due to inflation, increasing the US debt, etc.

Wait.....the promise to payoff student loans with the hopes of getting the younger voter when they don't know you didn't have the power to do so and/or or the pledge that you wouldn't pardon Hunter.

Which was never proven. Not even close. I noticed none of you MAGA goose steppers posted this anywhere on the forum.

Why would you care about trump's lies when you push them yourself? Truth doesn't matter to you. You proudly prove it every time you make excuses for trump.


Congressman Comer has learned well from trump. Wrote a damn book about accusations that Biden made money.........that he couldn't prove........so HE can make money.......by lying.

Nobody is stuck...now, or ever by you. It is a figment of your imagination. I offered a book that would help you understand. Naturally it requires more thought than much of the media, but it is there. I went farther to touch on the constrained and unconstrained definitions inside the book and referenced the reviews if interested is short explanation. Had you understood them you would see that for 200 years they have held pretty much true, but instead in your ignorance, you lash out with a red herring truly not trying to understand what several hundred pages state or even get a glimpse from the reviews when I point out the two differences in thought. The only thing missing in your replay was not labeling someone.
 
Don’t forget the current economy, inflation rate, unemployment rates are all awesome! And it’s all because of Trump claiming it was because of him. And his sheep believing everything he says! After his talks with Putin and xzelinki trump admitted he wasn’t going to be able to end the war in one day and it is likely to go on a long time. I’m sure the Palestinians are as scared of Trump almost as much as the Taliban were scared of trump when he made that deal with them. Let me just ask, how many of you were invited to Mara Pago or any of Trump’s initial balls? I doubt anybody with a net worth under 10 million received an invite and the cost to attend is probably $1 million. Yet, Trump cares for you! Trump has no idea what gas or grocery prices are, nor does he even care as long as someone else buys it for him and serves him. The posts on this board are as intelligent as your posts on other boards! You know as much about Trump as you do sports!

This disjointed, incoherent gibberish is typical of Low Intellect TDS acronym LITDS. It is a variant of TDS that manifests itself among those incapable of putting two sentences together that focus on a single topic. The obsession with sheep is another indication. This indicates he’s not getting any human snickersnack. When one paragraph goes from sheep to Putin to Taliban to grocery prices, that’s gotta be a LITDS lemming.

Remind me again....how much did Harris pay for Oprah for the interview? I believe it was north of $2 million?

And, remember, Joe was a nice guy. Therefore, that makes him a great world leader....you know...because he's a nice guy.

You want me to read a book to help me understand that gibberish? How about you save me some time and just answer the question?

Trump is ultimate example of someone using power and control to get what he wants. He's done it his whole life. Are you seriously going to argue with that?

Having power and control is how both parties view governing. To act like it's solely a dem thing is clueless and completely partisan.
 
I do remember that. He either lied when he said it or changed his mind. What does that have to do with my point? You're becoming just another MAGA deflector.
Bob, both Biden and Trump lie virtually nonstop. They are both chronic liars. I see both sides of the issue. You do not. You receive highly filtered news from the far-left mass media and that is why you are convinced that Trump is another Hitler while Biden is the Second Coming. All of the negative news about Biden - his lies, the border crisis he has created, his cognitive decline - is not reported.

“The greatest power of the mass media is the power to ignore.”

Just so I'm clear, you're upset that Trump is using power and control to get what he wants?

Now explain why this is a problem? Isn't this what the most powerful man on earth is supposed to do?

at your command Bob! I'm unaware of the question you are asking when you say just answer the question, but I'll try again as I have typed the following several times before to try to lay a concept without spending more needless time trying to explain what has already been explained, but perhaps you missed those? The first couple of lines deal with Intersectionality. It is the major platform of the democrat party. Even though it is illogical at the core, there are a lot of people that don't get that deep and stay in the emotional state and absorbing what they are told. What they are told is to divide people where one side are victims and the other side oppressors that cause the victim hood. The result is to judge on equality of outcome, rather than opportunity. You even have people talking about "women's rights " for one example even though there is no such thing as women or men rights, but people rights. You had the pay gap. All these thing play into the weaker minds absent relevant knowledge in the appropriate domain.

The rest above is about governing which the book breaks down into the constrained view and the unconstrained view of which you have no interest to dig into or read enough reviews to get a feel for the conceptual understanding of the accumulation of many years study. Many that have read and even reviewed consider the book fair to both sides of the aisle and that is why the title is a "CONFLICT OF VISIONS" mentions "visions" being a conflict. In the past I've typed that everyone has an island of knowledge and some islands are larger than others, but all are dwarfed by the sea (of ignorance). This should be applicable to those understanding that evolutionary process of change by the people, by the market with gradual winning and losing ideas eventually producing the right result.

Although today both sides of the aisle have grown the blob or government, we know the scales were not balanced in that the dems lean much more to a larger government holding that "larger island in their belief) is not dwarfed by the sea of ignorance even though a reasonable person would conclude it is. Fauci might be a recent example.
Rarely do the dems see their policies a failure, but instead see a lack of money or the wrong person leading the charge. Naturally the RINO's lie in-between the conservatives and the liberals and why the lines of demarcation are blurred for some. No way can I begin to do justice to the book you won't read, but it is what it is....and I typed and spent way too much time on this
