Get ready for post-NAFTA North America.


From the plateful of poison pills, either Trump wants this stone dead or he has no clue how to negotiate a mutually beneficial trade treaty verses a screw-you deal. (Yeah yeah, or both.)

It does have to go to Congress to kill it, but as with the ACA, I’m sure that he can find ways to trash it without them.

That should be a wake-up call to some parts of America, but f–k, the last dozen calls didn’t work. Looks like Wisconsin will have to find some other place to dump their hormone-fueled milk glut. Maybe Trump can restart the Federal Cheese program?

There are no words.

ā€œLOL I tanked those insurers stocks! Now they will need to raise premiums to make up for their shortfalls! I’m so smart!ā€

Especially ironic given how he was gloating about record stick market performance just a few days ago.

So, to summarize, market is up, he’s awesome because of it. Market goes down, he’s awesome because it.

He’s bragging about damaging the economy AND the healthcare system AND people’s premiums?

Why is the president hurting the American people out of spite?

This maybe the harbinger of a Trumpian event… my uni sent out an email this past week about a ā€œcontroversialā€ speaker coming to campus soon (they didn’t say who, though) and reminding everyone of our free speech policy. The guy who has been booking Spencer’s recent tour is a student here, so I’m guessing that it’s indeed Spencer who is coming.

He was just in Gainesville, so it makes sense logistically.

And Milo’s coming to Oz. :confused:

How vigorously do you think your students will protest?

At UF, right? What’s the demographics of the campus, any idea? GSU is incredibly diverse.

I hope pretty strongly. Or they’ll laugh at/ignore his ass. We’ll see soon.

Yeah, it was UF.

Never been to the campus, but wiki says 58% white, 21% hispanic, 8% asian, 6.5% african american.

I’ve noticed a analogous trend among-- well let’s just call them socialists.

ā€œMake liberals cryā€ is not an endearing political strategy.

Holy :poop:.

I’m not fond of Hustler in any way, shape or form. But I find myself wanting to applaud Larry Flynt for this.

Wait, Larry Flynt is still alive?

Now I feel like a refugee from the Berenstein Bears universe.

The world is just too damn strange lately.
