Wonder how many auto workers GM, Ford, and Chrysler-Fiat are going to have to lay off. The best part is that the German and Japanese manufacturers' US operations will be largely unaffected. psydude fucked around with this message at 01:42 on Jun 10, 2018 |

Trudeau's been calling Trump out for the past couple of weeks, I don’t think he was mild this weekend. Maybe trump just isn’t used to politeness.

Hot Karl Marx posted:He's banning German luxury vehicles too remember. Don't know how that's gonna work but he said it Most German luxury cars are based on the popular platforms that are already produced to some extent at their factories in the states. It wouldn't be hard to shift production. The problem is that this will probably create 1000 more jobs, versus the tens or maybe even hundreds of thousands (when you include suppliers) that would be lost if he does away with the auto import duty exemptions. And this is to say nothing of the ripple effect that the decreased sale of new cars will have on the rest of the economy, such as dealerships, transportation, and financing companies.

Aside from Trump's continuous undercutting of his own obviously false rationale, how does Canada get away with 270% dairy tariffs? Why is it an outrage that we'd retaliate but not that they put them in place?

Here is a better explainer: https://www.quesnelobserver.com/opinion/letter-protect-canadian-dairy-farms/ quote:It is the very fact that the U.S. dairy industry does not have a supply management system like Canada’s excellent one that their dairy farmers suffer at the mercy of their unregulated system and regularly go through boom and bust cycles. And why they are looking north of the border to sell their surplus products.

That's from 2014, but the current farm bill under consideration is largely the same, only that Trump thinks SNAP requirements are too loose and has threatened to veto it because of that.

Self quoting, because the Onion got on this one fast. Giuliani Says Kim Jong-Un Begged Like A Has-Been-Politician-Turned-Hack-Attorney Trying To Get A Job At The White House quote:“I kid you not, this guy was prepared to bow down and kiss Trump’s boots like some cigar-chomping numbskull who actually thought he had a chance at being Attorney General. I mean, the look on his face—it was like a guy who just found out he married his second cousin or got 9 percent of the vote in a Republican primary—just a total, irredeemable jackass.”

My aunt just so perfectly typifies your standard Trump voter. In two successive Facebook posts, she asserted that the NFL is full of racist thugs who are disrespecting are troupes and then turned around and posted a meme complaining about Paul Ryan and Republicans threatening Social Security and Medicaid.

I've honestly steeled myself inside for a second term of Trump. Two more pics for Trump in the Surpeme Court, and it'll be facilitated by young "politically active" people that jump on whichever candidate social media tells them is the best, kick and scream to the primary finish lines, and then say they can't vote for the nominee when their pick doesn't make it, because they have "principles". I have faith in the stupidity of young people.

American leftists and liberals will always, always choose to fight their own, rather than go after targets in the right wing that might fight back. I want to believe it will be different in 2018/2020, but I know I'll be disappointed.

For people who spend an inordinate amount of time talking about how woke they are to social issues, the left has done a terrible job of framing healthcare as a human rights issue. This is really the only way they're going to shame moderate Democrats and center-right Independents into being okay with UHC. Poor white people already feel entitled enough to government money so long as they don't think black people are getting it too; Obamacare is already popular among them, so the economics argument isn't really the issue in the UHC debate.

I have no problem with that posted strategy really. 2018 is a lot of fighting in Trumper turf and there's not a very likely chance that Democrats would take both house/Senate to get single payer through anyways. Dems need to attack the gently caress out of the preexisting condition lawsuit and Obamacare repeal attempts. Single payer is a national topic for 2020 unless the district is in the mood for the discussion and I don't think most are.
