âDer Spiegel and the SĂŒddeutsche Zeitung (links in German), each citing sources who were at the meeting, reported Trump calling the Germans âbad, very badâ for their running a trade surplus with the US. âLook at the millions of cars theyâre selling in the US. Terrible. We will stop this,â he told European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker and European Council president Donald Tusk, according to Der Spiegel. In an interview in January, Trump had told German newspaper Bild that he would slap a 35% import tax on BMWs assembled in Mexico, with an eye to getting manufacturers to set up shop in the US.â -QuartzMedia
Most BMW drivers in my neck of the woods are complete assholes. My apologies if you are a BMW driver with a better outlook on life than most.
What an ignoramus. For all of his talk of âjobs, jobs, jobsâ and âAmerica firstâ does he not realize that BMW has a factory in South Carolina that brings in billions of dollars and hires some 8000+ workers?
Maybe he should consult with real economists about trade deficits and whether or not they are actually a bad thing before complaining about them.
Has someone made a new version of any Aphex Twin videos with Trump faces on all the people? Because that would make those videos like 1000 times more terrifyingâŠ
This is like the eighth time this month that Iâve felt like the other shoe is about to drop. At this point I wouldnât be surprised if an entire closet-full of them landed all at once.
Mitch McConnell stated once on a TV interview during the election something to the effect of âTrump will be the most powerful president ever.â Itâs stuck with me ever since. Itâs the way he said it. Like he knew something the rest of us did not. Perhaps his closet is one that should be looked intoâŠ
Perhaps the Annapolis, MD GOP consultant firm wasnât searched by the FBI for internal state politics after allâŠ
The other day I realized I had never seen the quote below in reference to this shit show. Then I thought, yeah, that douchebag only has the bullshit part going for him.
Fuck every single person who voted for the Republican party. Fuck them. No. There is no excusing their continued support for a party whose rhetoric and policies are giving âpeopleâ like this the courage of their fucked up convictions. Fuck Trump, fuck Sessions, fuck Paul Ryan, fuck Mitch McConnell, fuck Steve King, and fuck every. single. one. of the people who didnât think that every last word that came out of those racist bigotsâ mouths was a disqualification for holding high office. If you are a Republican, you are supporting a party whose highest positions of power are giving voice to the darkest underbelly of white nationalist violence in this country. This is not a âfringeâ movement, these people live in the White House and sit in Congress. I have had it with them, and I have had it with you. Get fucked.
Oh, and of course the murderer was taken alive. Heâs white.
The big fossil-energy companies NEED the U.S. to take climate change seriously because all of their innovations and biggest profits are now in renewable energy fields. Itâs the smaller companies who canât (or wonât) diversify in that direction that are going down the drain. Oil & gas are not far behind coal in terms of being unprofitable. We just have to hope that the rest of the recalcitrant companies go bankrupt before the damage to the environment gets much worse. The large companies have already swung their rudder around.
When Merkel decides to take a stand, then usually things get interesting. That was no less than the chairwoman of the traditional pro-American party putting an end to seventy years of Christian Democrat policy.
