Is Trump really the childish one here
-
So somehow I ended up reading about the 'trade war' between Canada and the US after Trump's tariffs earlier this year, and I found what's allegedly a full list of products affected by Canada's retaliatory tariffs. The 'Other Products' section is good for a laugh.

My guess is a lot of those other products target tRump 'country' and/or are easily replaced by non-US suppliers.

Yep, that's about what I gathered from what I've read. They're targeting the products that are exports of conservative states that are not also the exports of left leaning states while also not imposing any tax on products that they depend on the US for.

The difference here is that in the case of Russia the CIA pinky swears they have evidence, where as Canada only legislated it.

Yes of course, what kind of stoopid question is this. Retaliatory as in muricans try to punish us under ridiculous false pretense that we threaten their national security with our steel and aluminium. We can't let that idiocy slide.

All of the other countries that posted retaliatory tariffs also did the same thing. Why do you view it as childish? It's politics. Should we have targeted products from democratic states and voters? The point of the tariffs was to pressure the Trump administration - which is the only pressure point that can have any effect. Most of the tariffed products can be purchased elsewhere so what Canada has done is basically terminated a bunch of US companies Canadian market overnight (and not significantly increased the cost of goods to Canadians since there are alternatives). If those companies have enough interest in Canada it will hurt them - and they will take it up with their congressman and the president they voted for. Oh look - internal pressure to stop the tariff war that Trump started. Neither childish nor stupid. What would you have done differently?

Slinging of long guns is a matter of providing a stable platform from which to shoot, as well as a handy method for transports said guns while enabling the conveyance of other objects. All of my long guns have slings. As far as hand guns are concerned, gun "slinging" is restricted to revolvers in various cowboy shooting competition and while generally not recommended for novices, can be entertaining to watch. The guys that are truly proficient can empty a six-shot revolver in under three seconds - and hit the target with all six shots. The value of this technique can be called into question in a battlefield environment. Since I don't have a revolver, I can't really be a "gun slinger" in the truest (and most likely intended) sense of the term.
