this is about Trump, Farmers, and the white working class.

I would think if companies are going to knowingly violate anti-trust laws, they would attempt to do it in secret vs holding a press conference with a state.

This shit show demonstrates just how out of touch Trump’s administration is with reality. On one hand whining about other countries not buying US products.

The trade war (and every other hateful action we see) is a natural outgrowth of the scorched-earth policy implemented by “republicans” after the complete takeover by evangelicals. When your base premise is “if we don’t get taken up in the rapture, we better make sure we’re the only ones left standing on earth,” then…

Nowhere in that quote is there any implication that China is an innocent party. But let us not forget who started this, only because he is a petulant child who wants to prove a non-existent point. All while fucking over the “forgotten class” of people that he was promising to protect when he was running for office.

3rd Gear: Not only blatantly full of shit, but career-endingly stupid for the lawyers involved, bare minimum. I’m no lawyer, but it’s pretty obvious corporations voluntarily signing an agreement with a state over product standards isn’t an anti-trust matter. Federal regulations can supersede state regulations, of…

You posted this same stupid comment on the last Trump article, and I’ll say the same thing I said to you then.

No, but the outcome was predictable. The US has *zero* leverage here; the US isn’t a growth market, and it’s cheaper for US based companies to eat any US based tariffs in order to protect sales in China. Trying to get China to change its practices based sorely on tariffs was doomed for failure.

GOP? Aren’t they the party of free trade and strict constitutionalism?

GOP is backing the idiot-in-chief and as long as the GOP controls the Senate, there is nothing that Democrats can do.

The ACA saved my friend from dying of cancer. He was a diehard republican. Emphasis on “was”. 

My premiums have gone up every year except one (employer changed carriers, had to find new doctors) since I went full-time in 2006. They’ve gone up less dramatically since the ACA though, so THANKS OBAMA! 

Whataboutism: a favorite play of Trump’s oh-so-clever base.

“It’s not Trump, it’s those Chinese!!”

Hey middle america trump voter farmers. He’s fucking you over again as that big tariff on soybeans hits.

1st Gear: Buick is screwed. Either they get cars shipped to China, or the cars are partially built in China under partnership with SAIC. If one or both of those slow or shut down GM’s losing like eleven percent of it’s global sales. Which is a lot.

2nd Gear: Can we just relegate the backup cameras to a spot on the…

Reminder: Tariffs are supposed to be set by Congress, not the President. Dipshit Two Scoops is using emergency powers, which is not unexpected from a pigfucker of his pedigree, but why doesn't Congress stop him? Is it because except for the Squad and a few others, they're a bunch of sniveling cucks afraid to speak…

Bah! Full steam ahead!

Yeah, that is kinda weird considering there’s supposed to be a massive dairy surplus.

I’m really getting tired of all this winning.
