I'm not watching that. I can't stand Oliver, and I'm not interested in anything Xi Jinping-related. And it's way too long.

Algren is concerned about his social score dropping if he is ever interested in commenting about Emperor Xi.

The stock market keeps going down and things are getting worse. If this trade war continues, the country will probably be a recession by next year. I have also noticed fruit prices are much higher than they have been in years past. I am guessing there isn't anyone to pick them.

Re: The Trump Era: The Awkward Mix of Libertarianism and Fas
Plenty of economists, but unfortunately too many ignorant people who voted for him didn't pay attention to them. I did see Drumpf caved on keeping children in cages. I imagine the optics became too bad and the democrats didn't blink and give him the wall funding.

Re: The Trump Era: The Awkward Mix of Libertarianism and Fas
Trump, a few days ago: "I hate this policy too but there's nothing I can do about it. It's a Democratic law!"
Supporters: "See? Stop blaming Trump. He can't solve it!"
Trump, today: "I am officially ending this policy, because it is in my power to do so."
Supporters: (crickets)

Re: The Trump Era: The Awkward Mix of Libertarianism and Fas
Not to mention he didn't even have to sign an executive order to do it. It's all a show. He's creating these problems only to blame Democrats and anyone else he can, and then comes in to "fix" the problem.

Re: The Trump Era: The Awkward Mix of Libertarianism and Fas
The person who wrote the executive order to get rid of the policy said the policy didn't exist two days ago.

BREAKING: "Trump signs executive order to end policy that separates families".
Seriously, though, the miscommunication in Trump's administration is baffling. They make everything so much worse, themselves.

Re: The Trump Era: The Awkward Mix of Libertarianism and Fas
Interesting take.
Quote: It’s encouraging that Sarah Huckabee Sanders was judged not by the color of her skin but by the content of her character.

Re: The Trump Era: The Awkward Mix of Libertarianism and Fas
I think the restaurant has the right to not serve Sanders, and she seemed to accept it. However I don't think this is as analogous to the gay wedding cake situation as some people are claiming right now. A key is that the baker was willing to otherwise serve gay people, but did not want to make a gay wedding cake. Making an anti gay marriage baker make a cake shaped like a dick, colored like a rainbow and saying congrats Matt and Steve for example, would be a lot harder for them to stomach than just feeding gay people chicken.

Of course they are different. Ruling elites is not a protected class in Virginia while sexual orientation is under the anti-discrimination law in Colorado.

Darth Indiana Bond wrote: Now Maxine Waters is calling for harassment of Trump staffers. Shit’s just getting more and more divided here in the States Wait a minute. Isn't that what the mentally ill left wants? To divide segregate and balkanize the people into acting more extreme and radical. I'm so sick of the race baiting with these people. But hey keep doing it. It saves the campaign money from having to convince people to vote for Trump vs these crazed radicals.

Re: The Trump Era: The Awkward Mix of Libertarianism and Fas
For reference, it's in the REPUBLICAN PARTY PLATFORM to deny transgender people from using their correct bathroom. That's not a choice.
Being in the Trump Cabinet? That's a choice.
