Trump was right about one thing: I’m already sick of of so much “winning”

That’s what TPP was for, so that there would be an economic alliance to stem the economic influence of China in the region. Instead of well thought out economic policy we get ham fisted garbage like tariffs that we know for a fact won’t work. There is no way to spin this as being tough on China, it’s piss poor…

That sounds an awful lot like book-learnin’, son. You best watch yourself.

Hey now, inheriting money, real estate, and connections takes hard work. If that’s not the definition of bootstraps, I don’t know what is.

A guy runs a siding sales business. He drives around selling siding to folks.

I believe that Trump’s greatest deception is convincing anybody that he knows about business.

A recession would be blamed on the “Libtard Dummycrats” even though Conservative Republicans control all branches of government when it happens.

The only jobs it creates are ones in old shuttered factories - because no company is going to build a billion dollar facility on the premise that these tariffs are going to last any length of time.

So you get a few hundred union jobs here, but increased costs for everyone which causes sales to drop and costs a few…

But the price for those (now domestic) goods goes up, because they’re still more expensive to produce here. Since the manufacturing capacity doesn’t already exist here, demand outstrips supply, and the prices climb even more. Money doesn’t grow on trees, so people can afford less goods and the standard of living…

...and yet I’m sure trump supporters are totally unphased that their leader is more or less on his way to engineering a recession based on nothing other than ignorance and stupidity. Ironic given that for decades the Republican Party was supposedly the party that stays out of the way of business and whines constantly…

Exactly, and quite possibly more skilled than your average LEO.

He was doing 150 in a Mustang on a perfectly straight road, and managed to escape instead of suddenly veering to the right and mowing down a crowd of people. He’s got to at least be in the top 10-15% of Mustang drivers in terms of skill.

Agreed. There’s no way I would risk going somewhere without my physical credit card. But, given the option, I use ApplePay whenever I can. The more and more I see vending machines support ApplePay the more I think it’s starting to finally go mainstream!

A Ph. D is a doctorate. It’s literally describing a doctor. No. The problem here is that medical practitioners have co-opted the word “doctor”. I know we live in a world where aaaaaanyyhing can mean anything. AND NOBODY EVEN CARES ABOUT ETYMOLO...

Actually, yes, let’s. There’s a certain point where “just doing my job/following orders” isn’t an excuse.

I sleep well at night knowing I won’t have to explain to my grandkids someday that I was one of the good Germans.

I like the reminders.

Since everyone wants their cars (read trucks)for adventure these days, I have another idea. A Torchlopnik good idea.

I don’t think we need to be reminded that the administration doesn’t give a shit about black people, it’s obvious on a day to day basis. No one who cares forgot about this fact.
