Iām about as far from an economist as you can get and even Iām astounded by the level of ignorance and denialism on display here.
I see absolutely no way this will do anything to create jobs or improve the economy (which wasnāt bad to begin with). Trade deficits need not be a bad thing!
Naturally Alex Jones now has a conspiracy theory that CNN wants YouTube to ban him, and all his many channels.
Tempting, but no. This is just freedom of association and an invisible backhand from the market place.
Holy shit. He just played into Colbertās hands haha
Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) called Stephen Colbertās jokes about him on a sketch for The Late Show a ādanger.ā āThis is the danger that we have in this country,ā Nunes told Fox Newsā Neil Cavuto on Saturday when asked about the jokes. āThe left controls not only the universities in this country, but they also control Hollywood in this country, and the mainstream media, so conservatives in this country are under attackā¦ they attack people who are trying to get to the truth.ā
Once the news of Xi Jinping broke, you just knew weād be hearing this from Trump.
President Trump told donors on Saturday that Chinaās president, Xi Jinping, was now āpresident for life,ā and added: āI think itās great. Maybe weāll want to give that a shot someday.ā
Thatās true. We should help him out a little there:
āCold. Cold. Cold. Getting colder. Still getting colderā¦ā
Yeah, letās repeal the 22nd amendment.
Itās a shame heās self-funded.
My Alternate Universe Wikipedia browser extension says: In that reality, Bill Clinton has been in the White House since shortly after Reagan resigned in the mid-'90s due to health problems.
I joke but the 22nd amendment was basically a fuck you from the Republican party in retaliation for 12 years of FDR.
On the other hand it at least ensures a finite Trump presidency since Iām not feeling positive heās going to croak any time soon.
Term limits are one of those things I find it hard to have an opinion on either way. I guess it depends on if I like the person in office or not.
Of course an irony here is Trump campaigned on a promise of implementing Congressional term limits. Far be it from him to keep a consistent opinion on pretty much anything though.
Bullshit
or he gets funding for his goddamned wall, blah, blah. blahā¦
This smells like back tracking to me.
I can imagine all the things that heāll want in NAFTA and āother stepsā, like maybe Mexico paying for a wall. How about āFuck no!ā? It looks like his tariff brain-fart wasnāt about China at all. (2% of US steel imports.)
Oh boy, more terroristic threats
And then after everyoneās signed it we cross off the first ā2ā. Genius!
Apparently the mobsters & money launderers wanted a better deal
Iām gonna steal one of my favorite gags from the LoadingReadyRun crew, hereā¦
[extreme grandma voice] So I went to the store and I told the man what you wanted, and he said this was the one, the twenty-second amendment. This is the one you wanted, right?
