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, Iā€™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 fā€“k, the last dozen calls didnā€™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! Iā€™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, heā€™s awesome because of it. Market goes down, heā€™s awesome because it.

Heā€™s bragging about damaging the economy AND the healthcare system AND peopleā€™s premiums?

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

This maybe the harbinger of a Trumpian eventā€¦ my uni sent out an email this past week about a ā€œcontroversialā€ speaker coming to campus soon (they didnā€™t say who, though) and reminding everyone of our free speech policy. The guy who has been booking Spencerā€™s recent tour is a student here, so Iā€™m guessing that itā€™s indeed Spencer who is coming.

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

And Miloā€™s coming to Oz. :confused:

How vigorously do you think your students will protest?

At UF, right? Whatā€™s the demographics of the campus, any idea? GSU is incredibly diverse.

I hope pretty strongly. Or theyā€™ll laugh at/ignore his ass. Weā€™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.

Iā€™ve noticed a analogous trend among-- well letā€™s just call them socialists.

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

Holy :poop:.

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

ā€œStrange days indeedā€¦ā€

Wait, Larry Flynt is still alive?

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