Yee Haw! We Got Us A Trade War
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/05/busin...riffs.html

Quote:Trump’s Trade War Against China Is Officially Underway


Quote:The penalties, which went into effect at 12:01 a.m., will undoubtedly prompt quick retaliation by Beijing, which has said it will tax an equal amount of American exports, including pork, soybeans and automobiles.
The escalation of the trade war from threat to reality is expected to ripple through global supply chains, raise costs for businesses and consumers and roil global stock markets, which have been volatile in anticipation of a prolonged trade fight between the United States and almost everyone else.
On Thursday, President Trump showed no signs of backing down from his fight, saying aboard Air Force One that the first wave of tariffs on $34 billion in goods would quickly be followed by levies on another $16 billion of Chinese products. And Mr. Trump continued to threaten Beijing with escalating tariffs on as much as $450 billion worth of Chinese goods.

At least none of our troops will be called upon to capture a worthless hamlet for the glory of the WLB.

No worries.  The President assures us that trade wars are easy to win. Don't you remember how easy it was for Donnie T and the Trumpistas to repeal and replace Obamacare?  Don't you remember how Trumpy's 40 mins with Kim Jong Un neutralized the threat from North Korea?  Everything will be just fine.

We were already in a trade war with China. This is not to say that I support Trump's ham-handed particular approach to imposing tariffs but I'm not philosophically opposed to them either.

Minn, this is where I part company with you. Let's give President Shithole some credit, he will win the trade war. He will trade our values for his own ego.

If China really wants to win this war they should just close Ivanka's sweatshops and her other factories in China and let Ivanka fight for them.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Of course your not anything to defend "your dear leader "

This is a tactic the GOP has used since Reagan say minus the bigotry and vilification up and until 45.

We've always known our enemies always try to gain an advantage. But the reason 45 won is that the GOP set him up to sell the fascist hyper national bigotry.

45 isn't "shaking things up" he is destroying diplomacy for nothing more than his own ego.
