You way over estimate Trumps bargaining power and way under estimate China's ability to plan long term. Xi has China's roadmap laid out for 50 years. We can't even map out our future for 50 days. Im real sure they will just cave after a month, that has worked out real well so far. China is growing 3x faster than we are, they have a lot more room to breath and a leader that has no fear of losing an election. The US companies that are taking a big hit from the tariffs aren't even bringing the jobs back to the US, they are moving them to Vietnam. The rest of the companies will just raise prices and crush consumers. So the tariffs are a complete failure at every level.

Wrong wrong wrong. The second section of mullers report (a report written by Hillary's lawyer, btw) was an opinion piece that muller (hillary's lawyer) had no legality to write.
That has to be one of the worst marketing campaigns in American history. Maybe one day corporate America will wake up and realize not everyone in America is a woke twitter user.
His exact quote,
"We did not reach a determination as to whether the President committed a crime"
Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't tariffs a tax that CHINA has to pay?
"We've rebuilt China, if they don't want to trade with us anymore fine with me"
Hahahahahahahahahaha...the balls...
Hahahahahahahahahaha...the balls...
EXACTLY. Because they were not allowed to due to the OLC guideline. They went in from the get-go never being able to because the new Special Counsel law puts it in the DOJ.
Directly from the report: "Because we determined not to make a traditional prosecutorial judgment, we did not draw ultimate conclusions about the President's conduct. The evidence we obtained about the President's actions and intent presents difficult issues that would need to be resolved if we were making a traditional prosecutorial judgment."
Yup. It doesn't take much for these things to "trend" on Twitter. Mario Lopez says parents shouldnt give their 3 year olds hormone blockers because they say they're trans. 8-10k people on Twitter flip out, that is literally the only people talking about it. Yet for some reason people feel like its a lot more.
Same goes for the Gillette add, it was clear as day they were trying to make an add that the "woke" people on Twitter would like. The thing is, those people dont buy your product and you sure as hell are going to lose more customers than gaining customers that way. And the entire purpose of an add is to do the complete opposite. Each add should gain you customers.
Now post what he said when he came back and recanted/corrected that.
The OLC says nothing of the such. A referral isn't an indictment. Making a determination was his job. He had zero problem making a determination on collusion/conspiracy. Why is that?
Yes he did. That was the whole point of the investigation. The OLC doesn't stop him from making a determination or referral.
You are 100% wrong. Why are people so uneducated? Tariffs are paid on the goods as they transit into the country by the purchasing party. So consumers either pay them directly when buying direct or indirectly as businesses pass on the added cost. Or they fire employees to absorb the cost. This is why conservatives are 1000% anti tariffs, at least until Trump bent them over.
Of course they blame something else for there losses other than a poor business decision.

I hate it when anyone fakes their faith. I've went to church with people who are there everytime the doors open. Always volunteering for everything. Then talk terrible about people behind their back.
I don't like that trump lies. And lies about stuff he doesn't need to lie about. He has done some good things. No doubt. And some things I hate. I don't like the wall bullshit. I hate that naive people actually believed Mexico was going to pay for it. He knew that was never happening. Now taking military money to build some. That's wrong. He treats the worst leaders the best. If he had his way he would be a dictator.
North Korea fires it's 3rd round of ballistic missiles this week. Notch another win for Trump!
Let us know when they invade an actual country and meddle in an election.
You're just ignoring all the times in the report and in person Mueller explains that they went into this restricted from making a prosecutorial judgement.
OLC guidelines only covers an indictment. Even the DOJ (who's guideline you're misrepresenting) was surprised by Mueller's balk.
Again the OLC didn't stop him from making a determination or criminal referral. Instead he chose to pass the buck to DOJ. DOJ made the determination for him since he passed the buck and they concluded (without taking the OLC into account) the evidence was insufficient.
You must have completely missed his later correction to that testimony.
Legal opinion numbnuts. Guess it's too much to ask for rednecks to have the education required to understand legalese.Opinion?![[laughing]](http://l.yimg.com/j/assets/img/emoticons/classic/laugh.r191677.gif "Laughing [laughing]")
The next time I give a shit what Mario Lopez thinks will be the first.
It is not the same thing, you stated the only reason they didn't indict is because of the OLC, that is plain wrong. They didn't come to a conclusion one way or the other due to the OLC. He damn well could've recommended charges to Congress if there were any, his entire purpose was to come to a conclusion.
You know full well that Mueller corrected that statement at the start of his second testimony.
This will help explain it to you. The steel companies that lobbied for the tariffs are now suing the government because the tariffs are bankrupting them.
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...raised-trump-tariffs-now-suing-u-s-for-relief
Less than a year after JSW Steel (USA) Inc. lauded U.S. metal tariffs for aiding the steel industry, the company is suing because it’s not exempted from the levies. The producer says the Commerce Department wrongfully denied waivers for steel-slab raw materials, forcing the steelmaker to pay tens of millions of dollars in tariffs.
You have been proven wrong at every turn, perhaps you should get a better education than this "redneck". Born and raised in Louisville you idiot.
Incorrect. Read the report. It details why presenting evidence in a criminal manner would be problematic in a format where there couldn't be formal charges and so couldn't be a formal defense.
No you're misrepresenting what the OLC says. It says nothing about making a judgment. You're ignoring the fact Mueller made a judgement on collusion/conspiracy and the OLC didn't restrict him from doing so.
Just because he couldn't indict doesn't mean he couldn't present his evidence with a criminal referral if he thought his evidence was sufficient.
He absolutely did have the right to criminally refer the President. You're trying to create something that just isn't there hoss.
Lol restated. Dion knows more about the russian collusion than Mueller's demented ass. Mueller's team of liberals should've hired Dion.
