Then I think we have different ideas of what "Fight Back" means, and are talking past each other.

Another "Trump said" that should be ignored.

How would this even work? Tariffs function by holding the physical items in customs, until the tax is paid. But a licensing deal on a digital good, that can be transfered undetected over the internet, is impossible to teriff. You could tax it other ways, but 100% of what. The distribution license? The copyright?

I guarantee he hasn't thought about any of this, and as such this mindless utterance a can be safely ignored.

But using those words you'd have to, to establish that it isn't actually the father who was shot, but the 18 year old.

The terrible use commas comes from the terrible word choice. Rewriting the entire sentence would be the best option.

But 95% of the time he doesn't take any action on what he says.
Then he actually does take action on things he never said anything about.

If you fight back against everything he says, you'll exhaust yourself on so many things that don't matter; You'll completely miss many things that do. Which is in fact the strategy.

For example his personal crypto tokens. He never said anything about making his own tokens to launder bribes through. Then suddenly surprised everyone announcing a new company and tokens. If anyone in the world buys $25M worth, they'll get a private sit down dinner to discuss whatever they want. That blatant clear corruption is important. And bullshit this is just a distraction.

Everyone needs to stop reporting on anything he just says. Instead, the media should exclusively focus on what he actually does. Did he issue any executive order about it? Did he instruct congress to do anything anything about it? No? Then I don't give a shit, and neither should anyone else.

While your certainly sounds better with the word choice in the headline, it doesn't reflect the actual facts of events.

"Father of an 18 year old," establishes the father as the subject, and the 18 year old as a specifying factor. So the the rest of the sentence states, it was the father who was "fatally shot by Ohio police" and "charged with hitting and killing deputy". It's still unclear if it was the father or the deputy who was "with car".

Where as my commas separate the facts accurately. Their strangeness comes from the extremely poor word choice and order of facts in the headline.

"Father of," establishes the father as the subject. "18 year old fatally shot by Ohio police," is together a single specifier. "charged with hitting and killing deputy," states what happened to the father. And finally ", with car" is what the father used, to hit and kill the deputy.

Headlines aren't usually written by journalists.
Especially at big shops like this.

And I hate golf.

Yah. Just used it 3 times.

I am familiar, and I'm still wondering that.
Seemed kind of obviously inevitable to me

You should spend time with better people.

I go to the theater a few times a month. I encountered two rude people in the last 5 years. Better theaters have better people. Or at least encourage better behaviors.

You should go to better theaters

Edit: After your blocking me, and seeing everyone else's comments to you; I think it's clear the problem isn't everyone else.
