POLITICAL THREAD

We would be in a recession right now if it werent for Trump which is why it skyrocketed instead of tanking as predicted the moment it was known HRC was not going to win.

A recession is inevitable, only question when, how big and how long.

 

[Platinumdrgn]

So is it a terrible, world ending market tanker...or is it much of nothing? Sending mixed signals platinum.

TRump is so bipolar he managed to tank the market and do nothing at the same time.

Dow has now dropped 2000 in 2 months MAGA! Should be back to 21k where it started in 2017 before the summer is over.

DJIA (Dow 30) close on November 4, 2016: 17,888

DJIA (Dow 30 close on March 22, 2018: 24,299

Percentage gain 11/04/16 - 03/22/18: 35.8%, and that's before dividend reinvestment.

#MAGA.

Going to be awesome to watch the left succeed in their coup, then when the economy and markets crater, crow about how Trump sucks and caused the drop when they successfully used fiction novels to oust a sitting POTUS.

At that point, I hope Mike Pence puts them all in concentration camps.

Booker and Flake just out and about throwing snowballs at one another...

God I hate those people.

How bout trying to run the goddam country in a manner that isn't reminiscent of a goddam banana republic instead of having a snowball fight.

But the exemptions mean that the top four steel exporters to the United States, and four of the top seven aluminum exporters, will be left out of the tariffs, according to US government data and Panjiva, a research firm owned by S&P Global.

The steel tariffs literally do nothing now. He gave exemptions to every country but china who we don't import steel from. last year china was .8% of steel imports. I don't think that makes sense even to you koolaid drinkers.

Which countries received exemptions?

Anybody voting "yes" for this spending bill can go DIAF.

** Breaking News **

Trump's China tariffs aren't crazy.
.....
Unlike the steel and aluminum tariffs, many trade experts and business leaders agree in principle with that assessment of Chinese behavior. Western firms have complained for years that China routinely steals their trade secrets, through outright theft and hacking, and also through domestic rules that require foreign firms to turn over technological know-how as a condition of doing business in China. Keith Alexander, former chief of the National Security Agency, has frequently characterized such intellectual-property theft as “the greatest transfer of wealth in history.”

IP theft could cost the U.S. economy as much as $600 billion per year globally, with China accounting for most of that, according to the National Bureau of Asian Research, an independent research group headed by Dennis Blair, who was director of national intelligence under President Obama, and Jon Huntsman, Obama’s first ambassador to China. Trump supposedly fumes about the U.S. trade deficit with China, which was $375 billion in 2017. But that’s not a giveaway to China. Americans get something for that $375 billion—namely, cheap goods that would probably cost more if we bought them from someplace else. Intellectual property, or IP, theft is simply lost wealth, which compounds over time as China uses gained knowledge to become a tougher competitor......

That lady should probably be extra careful crossing any streets or taking out the trash.

 

[DSmith21]

In 2017, the U.S. led the world in cutting carbon emissions despite withdrawing from the Paris Accord. Meanwhile, emissions for the rest of the world were higher led by China. So the EU and China can stop their bitching about our emissions and worry about theirs.

Former Obama aide found nuked from space to death. Authorities have given the cause of death as natural causes.

Jake Tapper is a weasel, but that gets an A+.

Yep. Can't argue with that

 

[AustinTXCat]

Today we find out the payment to Trumps playboy whore was reported to the treasury as a suspicious payoff. Either the lawyer is going to end up guilty for campaign finance fraud or Trump will have to publicly admit to the affair and payment. I think we all know which option he will choose. And UK intelligence gave the CIA intercepts of the Trump campaign doing what they called "frequent and illicit" conversations with Russia. Now the Trump aide saying he thinks Trump has been caught by Mueller but he would rather go to jail then flip on Roger Stone. Trump still parroting about DACA like anyone cares about that anymore, the courts shutdown that debate for at least another year. I may need to hit up costco for more popcorn.

Russia reportedly helped Venezuela launch its petro cryptocurrency to skirt US sanctions.

2 things would make me happy

If stormy came out and said
Trump and Melania had a 3 way with her and he rocked both of their worlds

Or

Nothing happened, Hillary offered her 1 million dollars to say something did

 

[DSmith21]

I have no doubt that Trump cheated on one or more wives years ago. Why should we care? I am more amazed that a paunchy 60 year old man can nail Playboy playmates, A-list porn stars and beauty queens with such ease.

yeah, I have never been a fan of calling ex-presidents President, once you are out of office and are a private citizen again you should lose the title.

Watching the Loyola Nevada game now. Yes please, I'll take Loyola Chicago for a trip to the final four, Alex.

I like Bolton. I was kind of hoping Trump would've put him in the WH at the beginning.
