Yes, the US moved toward a service economy long ago, and we are *good* at it. We aren’t going to compete on the world stage by “bringing back” textile, coal, steel and horse and buggy jobs while deregulating all environmental protections. Trump is not a businessman. He’s rich because he could convince other rich…

I don’t know...the only reason he said no is next year is an election year. So it’s out of self-preservation they said no, not because it was the right thing to do.

Reminds me of when Trump and the GOP shut down the government and cost the economy 12 billion dollars.

The only campaign promise he’s kept is a tax cut for his rich buddies. He said he would lower healthcare costs, but his actions have raised them. He doesn’t understand international trade, so he thought a trade deficit is bad, so he started a trade war. Now the trade deficit has gotten worse, and the cost of goods and…

Republicans are only 25% of this country. Immigration has nothing to do with that. Immigrants aren’t automatically Democrat or Republican when they get here. In fact, many immigrants from below the southern border actually vote Republican! No, the reason Republicans are a shrinking minority is their politicians can’t…

As they say: “Video or it didn’t happen”. And are they honestly stating that every peaceful protest ends up as a riot unless police are allowed to abuse the protesters?

Yes, it’s almost like eating out is becoming like everything else in the USA. “Your cell phone bill is $50 a month.” Then when it arrives, there’s fee, fee, tax, tax, fee, charge, and it’s $64.99 per month. Your cable bill is $90 per month, but after tax tax fee surcharge, tax fee fee, it’s $111.45. Dining out is $30,…

Every day is some new terrible thing with this administration. It’s like they are rolling back about 60 years of progress.

Tattoos and piercings are “extreme”, yet like 90% of people seem to have one or the other or both. It’s an amusement park, not a French art museum.

The only reason our system works is because people abide by precedence and decency. You can’t legislate every facet of governance. Republicans are destroying our system. They refused to do their jobs and hold hearings on Obama’s appointees, instead opting to play partisan politics, despite the fact Obama nominated…

Trump instigated a trade war, because he thought a trade deficit is bad. We now have a much higher trade deficit. He has no idea what he is doing, and the only people still supporting him are racists and trolls.

I believe Trump is on record saying Americans pay $12 per year for health insurance.

Yeah, I just wonder about their push to be “high end”. They don’t want to sell vehicles at 20K, they want to sell them at 25, 30, 40K with a lot of bells and whistles and heated leather seats. Not sure how strong consumer buying power is right now...

I dunno...maybe if we hadn’t just given the rich an absolutely unnecessary 1.5 trillion tax cut?

Nevermind Trump has spent like 90 million golfing and vacationing...

But he saved that bus! So if there’s one guy you want on a bus, just in case that bus might have a bomb on it if it goes below 50 MPH, it’s Neo...I mean Keanu.

Oh is that where they get their 1 billion memes they slather all over Facebook and other sites? “The left can’t make memes.” “Yeah, well that’s because were are busy posting damn facts and figures and science while you guys are posting poorly-Photoshopped images that are barely coherent and definitely not as funny as…

There’s a good article on Slate about this. Fox and Trump supporters don’t know what the report says, but have declared complete and 100% victory without facts. Democrats are hamstrung by the fact they need...well, the actual facts and report. Republicans know there is a lot of bad stuff in the actual report, so they…

So Trump’s lapdog, Barr, is not only shielding him from the Mueller report, but also going to try and get Obamacare repealed? Trump’s gone into panic mode because he has no wall, so he wants to get rid of Obamacare so he can say he kept a campaign promise. The problem is he promised us a better system, and has jack…

I have to drive up to DC a few times a year for work. I loathe DC. I loathe the drive to DC. it’s about 4 hours, and once you start getting close, the asshole drivers are everywhere. This time I took an Amtrak up. It was still 4 hours, but instead of driving, I napped, listened to music, played on my phone. It was…
