		<description>Whatever you have to tell yourself to make it through your day, Michael. While you may successfully fool yourself, you&#039;re quite mistaken if you believe that you&#039;ve fooled very many others. 

Your biggest &quot;tell&quot; was the multiple tucking and running along with your incessant and excessive whining and moaning. Quite transparent. The prattling on and on incessantly is quite the hallmark. HUMINT 101

Additionally, somebody needs to explain to the Hysterical Right Wingery and their ilk that cameras take moving pictures as well as still ones, and the pictures don&#039;t lie. 

Have a nice day. I always do. :D</description>

316 

&lt;i&gt;Voice recognition?? That&#039;s a new one.. &lt;/i&gt;

No it&#039;s not remotely &quot;a new one.&quot; Your &quot;facts&quot; are incorrect as they so frequently are. Your well-known and well-documented inability to retain information is on full display as is your usual preference for discussing posters instead of the issues in their comments. 

&lt;i&gt;You can blame it on whatever you like. &lt;/i&gt;

First Amendment rights. Use them while you got them; you don&#039;t even need anybody&#039;s permission nor are you required to post to suit the whining and/or trolling righties. 

&lt;i&gt;But the simple fact is your facts were in error.. &lt;/i&gt;

I see you&#039;re still avoiding the point I made about the case in favor of nitpicking the comment. 

&lt;i&gt;I know you can&#039;t admit that, but the FACT is your facts were bogus.. &lt;/i&gt;

If you knew half of what you thought you did, you&#039;d be almost half way to literate. I have to hand it to you, though, Michael: You are the only poster who whines incessantly about me not posting facts while at the same time running off with your tail between your legs crying like an aggrieved victim when I do post the facts. 

Have a nice day. I always do. :D</description>

&lt;i&gt;And no condemnations for Trump encouraging his supporters to beat up demonstrators? Offering to pay their legal bills? &lt;/i&gt;

No, sir. Michale condoned it.

&lt;blockquote&gt;Trump doesn&#039;t &quot;promote violence&quot;... He promotes a proper RESPONSE to violence.. 

If someone gets in your face, you get in their face. If someone shoves you, you shove them... If someone rears back his fist to hit you, cold-cock him first...

I see nothing wrong with that... 

http://www.chrisweigant.com/2016/03/11/ftp382/#comment-71821 &lt;/blockquote&gt;

He took Trump&#039;s side, condoned it and called it &quot;fighting back.&quot;

Figure it out, people. Michale is &quot;all in&quot; for fighting back and gaslighting and fabricating unless him and his ilk are on the other end of it. Then they whine and play victim, and their enablers rush to their aid, and the shit goes on and on ad nauseam. 

He&#039;s going to always condone violence from the right and Putin&#039;s Puppet/His Orange Worship while goading and gaslighting and whining like an aggrieved victim if anyone does it back in his general direction... all while rallying his enablers to take his side and admonish everyone else on his behalf. 

&lt;i&gt;Seems you have a one-sided standard, who knew? &lt;/i&gt;

Everybody here except Michale and those who enable his bullshit by not calling him on it and admonishing others on his behalf, of course.</description>

&lt;i&gt;Democrat Leader Maxine Waters ordered all Democrats to commit violence and harassment against all Trump supporters... &lt;/i&gt;

Oh, it&#039;s not a he. Maxine Waters. What&#039;d she say? Was it worse than: 

&lt;blockquote&gt;* Knock the crap out of him, would you? I promise you, I will pay your legal fees.

* I&#039;d like to punch him in the face.

* Maybe he should have been roughed up.

* Part of the problem is no one wants to hurt each other anymore.

* I don&#039;t know if I&#039;ll do the fighting myself or if other people will.

* The audience hit back. That&#039;s what we need a little bit more of.

* If you do, I&#039;ll defend you in court, don&#039;t worry about it.

&lt;i&gt;I&#039;ve no idea who Waters is or what he did. I&#039;m wrapped up in the World Cup right now.

What did Waters do (John Waters? Barbara Waters?) that was so egregious? &lt;/i&gt;

Me neither, Neil, but I&#039;d be willing to wager without even knowing that whatever he&#039;s accused of doing has been gaslighted, fabricated, overblown to the hilt by the righties. :)

Now, what did he supposedly do that we&#039;re supposed to be denouncing. Did he refuse service to a MAGAt that has no problem with bigotry until it&#039;s done to them?

Somebody spill the beanies. What did he do?</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;You can&#039;t win a &#039;how-low-can-you-go&#039; game with Donald Trump. Trump wins that game - seven days a week, 52 weeks a year.&lt;/i&gt;

Sadly, true. That doesn&#039;t mean, however, that we have to sit still and take it.  John Kerry would have benefited greatly if he&#039;d have responded to the Swift Boat liars rather than try to stay above it all.

They go low, and we go high - right over their heads.

The question is, at what point do acts of protest  become reasonable? The price of silence is steep. Kleptocracies, dictatorships and proto-fascist regimes are popping up like mushrooms on a dewy field. The left is (conveniently)divided and bickering nearly everywhere.

Moreover, we&#039;ve recently come to realize that our political systems have been under attack by authoritarian regimes for years, mostly by Russia (but also North Korea and China) with no response at all, as yet, from by anyone.  This isn&#039;t some wingnut conspiracy theory, it&#039;s actually happening.

So the first thing the left has to do is table whatever disputes have been occupying us for later, and then concentrate on electing non-Republicans to office. If we succeed at that, we can form a committee to count angels on pinheads.

Am I supportive of Waters and DeNiro and Bee? Absolutely. Free speech is often about making people uncomfortable. Tyranny is safe. Resistance is messy, and edgy, and sometimes unpopular. I may not agree with Waters, and might &#039;go higher&#039; than Bee or DeNiro, but I still think those sorts of voices have a right to say that they&#039;re that fed up with the way things have been going. 

So, sorry your ox got gored brother, welcome to our world! And, for the record, I haven&#039;t seen Republicans pull any punches since Gingrich was Speaker.</description>

		<description>CRS: &lt;i&gt;Sorry, disagree on that &quot;successsful businessman&quot; thing.&lt;/i&gt;

Michale: &lt;i&gt;I am sure you do.. But it is a bona-fide fact, nonetheless.

Even DEMOCRATS said so back when Trump had a -D after his name.. &lt;/i&gt;

Using your logic then, Michale, you must also concede that those with an -R after their names who criticize Trump&#039;s &quot;business skills&quot;... or anything else for that matter... are equally correct in their assessments now. 

Critical thinking skills is not everyone&#039;s strong suit, obviously. That utter nonsensical logic either works both ways or not at all.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;CBS Poll: 51% of Americans Believe a Border Wall is a Good Idea &lt;/i&gt;

That &quot;border wall&quot; &quot;good idea&quot; isn&#039;t exactly a new idea, and as I&#039;ve actually had to explain to groups of misinformed MAGAts on too numerous occasions to count, approximately 600 miles of that &quot;wall&quot; they believe their Orange Worship invented have already been standing across the Southern border of the United States for almost a decade now. It&#039;s hilarious to see the looks on their faces when they find out. 

They also get fairly hysterical when I show them Ronald Reagan campaign souvenirs and learn for the first time that Trump stole the campaign slogan he claimed to have created. 

Apparently it is very easy to fool the woefully uninformed, and it&#039;ll take some time and effort but there will be a tipping point wherein the facts regarding the Pathological Liar are exposed. :)</description>

		<description>Michale
198

&lt;i&gt;You said &quot;A baker refused to sell a cake... any cake... to a married couple...&quot; &lt;/i&gt;

Yes, we&#039;ve covered all this before so this time I did not &quot;speak&quot; it onto the screen correctly. I use voice recognition, and I already corrected that above, but you&#039;re apparently missing the point in favor of the nitpicking. My point was that the baker refused to sell them any cake for their reception after they were already married.

If you will read the Supreme Court&#039;s decision, you will see that the facts of the case are in dispute by the parties... a he said, he said, he said dispute. 

The couple said they asked for a wedding cake for their reception, and the baker refused to sell them a cake... any cake... that would be used in a wedding reception for a same-sex couple. That was my point. It was his practice to sell wedding cakes to heterosexual couples but not to other couples. It was the event he objected to... not the type of cake; he wouldn&#039;t sell &lt;b&gt;any cake&lt;/b&gt; for a gay wedding or reception. He had also refused on prior occasions to sell a lesbian couple some cupcakes that would be used in their commitment celebration. 

From the Supreme Court&#039;s ruling:

&lt;blockquote&gt;Phillips informed the couple that he does not “create” wedding cakes for same-sex weddings.  Ibid.  He explained, “I’ll make your birthday cakes, shower cakes, sell you cookies and brownies, I just don’t make cakes for same sex weddings.”  Ibid. The couple left the shop without further discussion. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

They never discussed what type cake they wanted.

&lt;blockquote&gt;The Civil Rights Division opened an investigation. The investigator found that “on multiple occasions,” Phillips “turned away potential customers on the basis of their sexual orientation, stating that he could not create a cake for a same-sex wedding ceremony or reception” because his religious beliefs prohibited it and because the potential customers “were doing something illegal” at that time. Id., at 76. The investigation found that Phillips had declined to sell custom wedding cakes to about six other same-sex couples on this basis. Id., at 72. The investigator also recounted that, according to affidavits submitted by Craig and Mullins, Phillips’ shop had refused to sell cupcakes to a lesbian couple for their commitment celebration because the shop “had a policy of not selling baked goods to same-sex couples for this type of event.” &lt;/blockquote&gt;

My point: The baker would not sell a cake... any cake... for a wedding or wedding reception unless the couple were heterosexuals. He said he would not sell any baked goods to same-sex couples for their weddings or receptions. The type of cake or baked good didn&#039;t matter to the baker; it was the event.

My other point was that it is anyone&#039;s prerogative to agree that the baker should be allowed to refuse service to a couple while happily catering to other couples, but those who believe in the denial of service for one type of bigotry will get little sympathy from most people if they are denied service based on another type of bigotry. Bigotry takes all forms. 

&lt;i&gt;But here in the REAL world where people AREN&#039;T enslaved by Party ideology, they are called &quot;inaccurate facts&quot; also known sometimes as total bullshit.. &lt;/i&gt;

You might want to rephrase your &quot;total bullshit&quot; (your definition) above because here in the &quot;REAL world,&quot; people ARE enslaved by Party ideology; I&#039;m just not one of them because I don&#039;t belong to any Party and never will. 

&lt;i&gt;Just a suggestion, but maybe you should try and live up to the standards that you want to impose on everyone else.. &lt;/i&gt;

What standards are those? I am not the one promulgating rules for everyone else and breaking them.

&lt;i&gt;I&#039;m just sayin&#039;.. &lt;/i&gt;

You&#039;re just projecting... again. 

&lt;i&gt;Have a great day, Kick.. :D &lt;/i&gt;

I always do. :D</description>

		<description>And no condemnations for Trump encouraging his supporters to beat up demonstrators? Offering to pay their legal bills?

Seems you have a one-sided standard, who knew?</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;I&#039;m just playing the same game you are.&lt;/I&gt;

And again with the dodge...

Face the facts, neil.. Obama did the EXACT same thing that you accuse Trump of doing and you were PERFECTLY ok with it then...

So, that proves you don&#039;t really care about the children..

Not surprising since Democrats have supported the brutal murder of over 40 million children since 1970....</description>

Not round my neighborhood. She is even a Californian congresswoman and I don&#039;t remember anything about her.

Still not condemnation from you for Trump threatening her?</description>

		<description>Blotus has no business threatening ANY American citizen, or anyone in the world for that matter, for opposing him. When leaders use their official-offices to threaten citizens they are very much in dictatorship territory. It is a vile mis-use of power. SHS did the same, deliberately encouraging people to harass the restaurant. She should be fired - of course she won&#039;t be.

Obama NEVER did anything like that to all the various waste-products who dissed him. No one in his administration did. It is one of the many beyond-the-pale abuses perped by the criminal-in-chief and his henchtraitors.</description>

This couldn&#039;t be another false equivalency by Michale again, could it? She can&#039;t be much of a leader if I&#039;ve never heard of her before. I mean, this makes Ted Nugent a Vice President equivalent.

Man, the desperation is sad on the right.

I just saw how Trump responded - threatening to lynch her - any comments on that Michale?</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;What did Waters do (John Waters? Barbara Waters?) that was so egregious?&lt;/I&gt;

Democrat Leader Maxine Waters ordered all Democrats to commit violence and harassment against all Trump supporters...

Of course, you are perfectly fine with that..

That&#039;s what&#039;s so sad about all this..  Democrats have become the Party of hate and intolerance..</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;As opposed to your snowflake thing where President Trump enforcing the immigration law is the equivalent of the crimes of Pol Pot...&lt;/i&gt;

No, we called it child abuse, which is what it was.

		<description>Oh, and as I was looking thru the record, the prior comment to the one above really holds true right now:

&lt;i&gt;I saw this over on Political Orphans and liked it:

The Five Stages of Trumpism:
(1) It’s a total lie, never happened, is fake news.
(2) It happened but it’s not a big deal.
(3) OK, it might be a big deal but it’s not illegal.
(4) OK, it’s illegal but Hillary and Obama something, something so it’s OK.
(5) Get over it, Libturd, you’re just a sore loser!&lt;/i&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Well, since you always demand that everybody else provide reliable proof, point out a recent President of any party who uses &quot;gutter talk&quot; on a daily basis and who lies on average 6 times per day.&lt;/I&gt;

President Trump is unlike ANY POTUS we have ever had...

THAT is the fact you don&#039;t get..

But nice deflection..

Don&#039;t want to talk about about how your Democrat leaders are advocating violence and harassment against Trump supporters???

I don&#039;t blame you.. I wouldn&#039;t want to be seen supporting such advocation either..</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;And yet, you are completely silent about Waters et al..

Funny how that is.. :D&lt;/i&gt;

So, just to get this straight:
1. You can&#039;t remember me denouncing Griffin
2. So Trump, as President, is allowed to lie

Fantastic logic. Only one problem ...

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Yes, and that is why we hold people to different standards.&lt;/I&gt;

So, in other words, you flat out SAID (not insinuated) that you want to hold YOUR side to a different standard than Trumps side..

&lt;I&gt;We used to expect more from our most senior leaders, and this is why Trump as President is so sad - he doesn&#039;t respect the position or America.&lt;/I&gt;

And yet, you are completely silent about Waters et al..

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Gutter talk is gutter talk, sunshine.. :D&lt;/i&gt;

Yes, and that is why we hold people to different standards.

We don&#039;t expect a math professor at Yale to get 5+5 wrong, but we wouldn&#039;t be surprised if a 4-year-old did.

		<description>&lt;I&gt;No, I don&#039;t. When did I ever say or insinuate anything like that? More false equivalencies Michale.&lt;/I&gt;

&lt;B&gt;he false equivalency regarding e.g. DeNiro is that he is trash talking as a private citizen and Trump is trash talking as a President.&lt;/B&gt;

		<description>The false equivalency regarding e.g. DeNiro is that he is trash talking as a private citizen and Trump is trash talking as a President.

The right are so desperate to play whataboutism that they try to make these equal positions.

Another false equivalency is equating basketball shots to multi-billion dollar bankruptcies. That is a bit like saying a grunt missing the bulls-eye on the shooting range is the same as an Air Force plane bombing Hawaii when they were aiming for Syria.</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Dems did the &quot;let&#039;s be reasonable&quot; game and it got us the criminal-in-chief.&lt;/I&gt;

For the record, Dems *NEVER* did the &quot;let&#039;s be reasonable&quot; game..

Dems did the &quot;let&#039;s be reasonable as long as we define &#039;reasonable&#039; as whatever WE want&quot; game..

And Trump supporters told Dems to take their &quot;reasonable&quot; and shove it up their collective asses..  :D</description>

		<description>Wallowing in the swamp worked for Trump in 2016 because the Republican voters wanted a piece of trash for President.

Democrats don&#039;t want a piece of trash for President, so don&#039;t need to follow Trump into the slime. Let him lie, call names, gin up his supporters - it only makes decent America dislike him and his acolytes more.

We saw Rubio try to follow Trump into the swamp and it didn&#039;t work - you have to be real trash to appeal to the Republican base at the moment.

Some people who are against Trump are going to mouth off here and there, that is to be expected when a regime is based on &quot;how to upset the opposition regardless of the outcome&quot; (e.g. trade wars; pulling out of Paris, Iran deal, TPP; child abuse; etc.).

Level heads will win out in the end, it is just sad that in 2018 we have to prove to ourselves once again that we are a grown up nation that wears big boy pants. And it is embarrassing that the rest of the World is watching (and that we are in the same childish political situation as Russia, Turkey, The Philippines, North Korea, etc.).</description>

		<description>John M,

&lt;I&gt;You need to counter a negative attack with a forceful but positive response of your own.&lt;/I&gt;

Truer words were never spoken. Very well said.</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Repubs have said in every way possible for 40 years: &quot;We hate everything/everyone Dem/Prog/Lib and we will actively hurt you.&quot; Well, message received. They don&#039;t get to control how we respond.&lt;/I&gt;

So, your response is &lt;B&gt;&quot;We hate everything/everyone Rep/GOP/Cons and we will actively hurt you.&quot;&lt;/B&gt;


Great plan..  :^/

Just keep in mind.. One group abhors gun ownership and the other group is well armed and well trained..

How do ya think it&#039;s going to work out for the group that abhors gun ownership???</description>

		<description>Elizabeth: I don&#039;t think you grasp anything about what is actually going on. Nor, it appears, do many inside-the-beltway types.

None of them have been much use as year after year after year GOP used abuse tactics against us. All they did was empower bad behavior and bullies.

When that happens there will either be takeover by the bullies, or a confrontation(s) - which may be won by one side or the other. But the collision becomes inevitable.

Dems did the &quot;let&#039;s be reasonable&quot; game and it got us the criminal-in-chief.

There is no reasoning with or persuading the bullies. The enablers have been able to have it both ways - just like Jeff Flake and John McCain and Susan Collins, who make public statements of disapproval and then vote for horrible things anyway.

There are more of us than them. They rig the system to retain power but there are more of us than them. What they are starting to find out is what the limits of their abuse-with-impunity is - and are getting a taste of what&#039;s coming as the damn breaks.

&quot;Bee, Waters, DeNiro, Griffin and all the other are EXACTLY as they accuse Trump et al of being...

If the Left wants to have ANY credibility they need to denounce those kinds of antics..

I am actually surprised I don&#039;t see more of that denouncement here in Weigantia...&quot;

		<description>[261] Elizabeth Miller 

&quot;I am telling you that the tactics of Maxine Waters and Robert DeNiro and Samantha Bee and the rest of are hurting their cause.

You can&#039;t win a &#039;how-low-can-you-go&#039; game with Donald Trump. Trump wins that game - seven days a week, 52 weeks a year.&quot;

Quite right Elizabeth.

Simply ignoring a negative attack does not work.

Responding to a negative attack with a negative response in kind definitely doesn&#039;t work.

You need to counter a negative attack with a forceful but positive response of your own.

Example: If someone makes a racist attack. Then acknowledge that we do have racial problems, but also remind people that we are all in this together and need to work together to solve problems, etc.</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;They don&#039;t want to vote Dem? Fine. Stay home. But if they want to return to a world where they aren&#039;t seen as traitors and collaborators - and treated accordingly - they need to help remove DT. That is the only way they can atone.&lt;/I&gt;

My point is that Democrats need to disavow the kinds of tactics that stoop to Trump&#039;s level and serve only to make the divisions in US politics even worse than they already are.

Why not follow Michele Obama&#039;s rule and go high when they go low? Why not try to persuade instead of divide. Granted, persuasion is more difficult than division but the results can be well worth the effort.</description>

I am telling you that the tactics of Maxine Waters and Robert DeNiro and Samantha Bee and the rest of are hurting their cause. 

You can&#039;t win a &#039;how-low-can-you-go&#039; game with Donald Trump. Trump wins that game - seven days a week, 52 weeks a year.

If Democratic leaders can&#039;t see that, then I fear the midterms will not be the Blue Wave that some are still clinging to.</description>

		<description>Repubs are whining about being treated like pariahs and are telling us it will only create more trumpers.

My reply: when Repubs tell us something we&#039;re doing will hurt us, we know they&#039;re lying. Coz if they really believed it would hurt us they&#039;d want us to keep doing it. What they want is to be able to have their cake and eat it: vote for a criminal traitor, get tax cut that benefits them, get regulation changes that benefit them, pretend nothing bad is happening to people-not-them, and most of all, not be considered deplorables. Because the &quot;un-deplorable&quot; wing of the party despises the deplorables. And they don&#039;t want to be tarred with the same brush.</description>

		<description>Yea, Paula epitomizes the Left Wing/NeverTrumpers...

&lt;I&gt;DT THREATENED her.&lt;/I&gt;

Factually not accurate.. It was the total waste of skin Waters who encouraged violence towards those who support the President...

The only question is, how long will moderate Left Wingers let this go on before actual violence breaks out???</description>

		<description>Maxine Waters is a heroine and she is right: no complicit members of DT&#039;s cabinet, no GOP enablers including pundits, should be able to appear anywhere without heckling and other forms of protest. Nazi and nazi-helpers forfeit all claims to &quot;civility&quot;. Traitors should be ejected from polite society.

DT THREATENED her. ANY pieces of shit who think that&#039;s ok, that she&#039;s the bad one: fuck you. She may be hurt/killed by DT-thugs.

SHS set up the Red Hen restaurant to be harassed by brownshirts. It is against the law for her to use her work twitter account to conduct personal business but she did it because she knew Trumpnazis would start threatening the owners and staffs. That behavior is wicked and fuck anyone who defends SHS.</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Sorry Michale, but that&#039;s inane and sophomoric.&lt;/I&gt;

Since it&#039;s your side calling for violence against Trump supporters??

Of course you would say that...</description>

		<description>CRS,

&lt;I&gt;How many time has he been thru bankruptcy? &lt;/I&gt;

How many free throws did Michael Jordan miss??

&lt;B&gt;“I&#039;ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I&#039;ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I&#039;ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I&#039;ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.” &lt;/B&gt;

		<description>&lt;i&gt;The civil war has begun...&lt;/i&gt;

Sorry Michale, but that&#039;s inane and sophomoric.

America was designed to be in a constant state of low-level political &#039;war&#039;.  The Founders, whose families had come from a place that had been in a state of actual war for centuries, reasoned that a system that allowed for unencumbered airing of political grievances would be contentious, but less likely to break out into actual violence. With just one notable exception, their plan has kept us from each other&#039;s throats for 200 years.

Indeed, when you take into consideration all of the moronic ideas that have come down the pike during that time, you have to give enormous credit to the thinkers behind the American experiment just for that insight. It comes from an unscientific but profound truth of human nature: people generally despise other people&#039;s opinions, particularly when it comes to politics, and payback is a bitch.

Add to that a second insight, a metaphysical assumption that is still yet to be disproven: that the collective will of the people is better, long-term, than even the informed decisions of a chief executive. boom! Heads exploding everywhere.

Even more impressive is the fact that they were formulating this as the French Revolution and its bloody aftermath was playing out in real time.

Still, even with two centuries of experience under our belts, every generation produces a new bumper crop of would-be Jacobins ready to fire up the guillotines (or gas chambers) and install a dictator. Humans just suck at this, normally.

So wish away for your war. I&#039;ll take the messy reality we live with today as an alternative anytime. Folks with pussy hats and MAGA hats at least still have heads to wear them on.</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Wait until the Canadian and EU tariffs kick in as well as those that China will impose.&lt;/I&gt;

And yet, that &quot;wait until&quot; wasn&#039;t stated when all the predictions were made back in Jan...

It goes back to credibility..

That is totally correct.  I incorrectly presumed that by the phrase &quot;Trump&#039;s trade policy&quot;, you meant avoiding U.S. tariffs.  My error.</description>

These trade wars are just getting underway. Which is why Trump still has time to reverse things but, of course, he won&#039;t.</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;And, this is just the beginning in terms of negative impacts on US business and workers as a result of Trump&#039;s trade wars.&lt;/I&gt;

And yet, tariffs have been in place since Jan...

And there hasn&#039;t been the negative impacts...

Why is that???</description>

		<description>CRS, I think they will manufacture overseas to sell to overseas markets, anticipating heavy import duties on American products in answer to Trump&#039;s import duties. Not only will the cost of imports to the US go up, but if US-made goods become more expensive in other countries, they will import less of them. The UK may find itself in a similar position, with imported goods becoming more expensive and a drop in exports if other countries impose higher tariffs or less favourable trade deals than they get as part of the EU.</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Sorry, disagree on that &quot;successsful businessman&quot; thing. &lt;/I&gt;

I am sure you do.. But it is a bona-fide fact, nonetheless.

Even DEMOCRATS said so back when Trump had a -D after his name..

&lt;I&gt;My impression, gleaned fromn his TV career, was what I told all his fundraisers that called me during the campaign - I consider him to be a &quot;world-class asshole&quot;&lt;/I&gt;

of COURSE he&#039;s an asshole..  So was Patton..  That&#039;s what made them so successful...

&lt;I&gt;As far as the political &quot;juggernaught&quot; he faced, I&#039;d say the Dems nominated the only person in the whole country capable of losing to Trump.&lt;/I&gt;

Dood!  That&#039;s my line..  :D

But it doesn&#039;t change the fact of her bona fides...

&lt;I&gt;That makes no sense, Manufacturing overseas will INCURR Trump&#039;s tariff, not avoid it.&lt;/I&gt;

Exactly!!!</description>

		<description>CRS,

Allow me to be clear about how tariffs work. 

H-D sends about 16% of its production to Europe. If it keep this portion of its production in the US it will be subject to EU tariffs that would be passed on to European consumers or H-D could be out by as much as $100 million dollars.

So, H-D has decided to move some of its production to Taiwan or Brazil or India and then export to Europe without having to worry about EU tariffs.

It makes sense to H-D.

And, this is just the beginning in terms of negative impacts on US business and workers as a result of Trump&#039;s trade wars.</description>

Michael  [234]

Sorry, disagree on that &quot;successsful businessman&quot; thing.  How many time has he been thru bankruptcy?    And the fact that he bested all his primary opponents is a reflection of the fact that 1), he&#039;s been on a lot of TV, and 2), Republican primary voters aren&#039;t very perceptive.

My impression, gleaned fromn his TV career, was what I told all his fundraisers that called me during the campaign - I consider him to be a &quot;world-class asshole&quot;, so I had to vote for the Libertarian guy.

		<description>You see, Liz..  Here is the problem you face...

The Left Wingery and the NeverTrumpers (which, in this case, are the same) have made prediction after hysterical prediction after catastrophic prediction...

And NONE of them have ever come to pass...

So, this begs the question.. Why would Joe and Jane Public think that ANY hysterical anti-Trump prediction would have ANY credibility???

The problem with the group is that the have NO FACTS to support their claims..

We saw that with the Obama/Illegal Immigration issue, we saw that with Kick&#039;s anti-religious freedom debacle and we see that with Balthy&#039;s bullshit claim about a bullshit quote from Tillerson...

The anti-Trump groups simply have NO credibility when it comes to their anti-Trump claims...</description>

		<description>Michale,

Have you heard that Harley-Davidson is moving some of its US production overseas to avoid the tariffs that are a direct resultant of Trump&#039;s trade &#039;policy&#039;?

If Trump knows what&#039;s good for him (yes, him, because he doesn&#039;t appear to care about anyone else) then he will revisit his ineffective trade policies.</description>

&lt;I&gt;Sweet Jesus people, we have a President who is so dumb (as in STUPID), that the level of his intellect and comprehension is so low as to be epitomized by his quote &lt;/I&gt;

And yet, Trump is, undeniably, a successful businessman..

And yet, Trump bested 19 very well funded, very well qualified and very experienced GOP operatives..

And YET....  Trump DEVASTATED the biggest, meanest, most experienced and most well funded political juggernaut in the history of the planet...

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Ah, no. Actually, Michale, it&#039;s the trade wars that have begun and, unfortunately, it&#039;s the American workers who will lose.&lt;/I&gt;

Yea, that&#039;s the claim..  It&#039;s been the claim for the last 6 months..

		<description>CRS, you make a good point. No, you make a very good point.

The media and large parts of the electorate are distracted and not paying enough attention to the policies the Trump administration is implementing during the big distraction.</description>

		<description>Paula,

We know what Trump is doing and we can see who is enabling him.

Do we know what the Democrats and their supporters are doing, just months before the midterms? Will they resort to Trumpian tactics or will they put forward a better strategy for success?</description>

		<description>Sweet Jesus people, we have a President who is so dumb (as in STUPID), that the level of his intellect and comprehension is so low as to be epitomized by his quote &quot;Trade wars are easy to win!&quot;, and Weigantians stew and fret because he us &quot;cruel&quot;, &quot;mean&quot;, &quot;unkind&quot;, etc.

Such is life in an ideological/political blog, I guess.</description>

		<description>Today Blotus threatens Maxine Waters. Trumpnazis harass Red Hen restaurant. Both are exactly what we expect from them. People who stand up against these thugs are at risk. They are brave.

Blotus and his thugs, in addition to being traitors, are bullying brownshirts. Every day in every way Blotus and his thugs and the complicit GOP prove they are everything we said they were/are.</description>

Ah, no. Actually, Michale, it&#039;s the trade wars that have begun and, unfortunately, it&#039;s the American workers who will lose.</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;“God is on OUR side!On the side of the children. On the side of what’s right. On the side of what’s honorable.”&lt;/B&gt;
-Maxine Waters

Rather ironic, considering how many hundreds of thousands of children have been slaughtered on the Altar of a woman&#039;s right to choose..

Somehow, I can&#039;t see god on the side of a group that does that...</description>
