Stickman posted:I'm not saying to average over states GDP - I'm saying you can't say they're targeting blue states by looking at absolute tariff dollars, which is what you seemed to be implying with your links. The map in the article you linked: That's exactly what I'm rejecting though. A person isn't 50% more laid off in Iowa than Illinois. You can say "a smaller percentage of people are laid off" but in absolute numbers those big hits are where the most people are getting hosed over. The reddest of red states may have the most trump-voters percentage wise, but they're also smaller states. Texas is taking a hefty hit and they're approaching purple. "Thanks for casting your vote for the Democrats but gently caress you for living in a state where it's wasted. Now die of treatable disease because our idiot president nuked your job in a pointless dickwaving contest." The second half is "poo poo rolls downhill", and the people at the very bottom of that hill aren't your defiant racist white suburban boomer trump voters. Talk about the political impact of the Tarrifs, or how well targetted they are, but don't gloat that migrant workers got the shaft when it was decided it was cheaper to let the harvest rot in the field this season.

https://www.vox.com/explainers/2018/6/28/17512106/anthony-kennedy-retirement-supreme-court-trumpquote:Barrett also argued that the birth control benefit in the Affordable Care Act impinges on religious liberty, argues that cases like Roe v. Wade might not need to stand as precedents if future courts judge them to be wrongly decided, and has explicitly asserted that the “original public meaning” of the Constitution must be upheld, even though that “adherence to originalism arguably requires, for example, the dismantling of the administrative state, the invalidation of paper money, and the reversal of Brown v. Board of Education.” The West Virginia thing I can't find though. I think it was in a Tweet.

Goffer posted:"Why is disgust sensitivity associated with socially conservative political views? Is it because socially conservative ideologies mitigate the risks of infectious disease, whether by promoting out-group avoidance or by reinforcing norms that sustain antipathogenic practices? Or might it be because socially conservative ideologies promote moral standards that advance a long-term, as opposed to a short-term, sexual strategy?" what the gently caress are these hypotheses?

Rinkles posted:(This) Cohen's usually better than this. I find this sort of thing pretty gross. Pointing out the reality that Trump has a type is gross? I mean, yeah, I guess. This article lays out the case pretty convincingly that Broidy is just playing patsy in order to help Trump cover up another affair. Trump has an obsession with blonde playboy models (or women who fit the type), Broidy has a history of bribery, including paying for the girlfriend of one of the people he was bribing. Broidy's company made upwards of $600 million in Trump administration contracts. Broidy set up a 1.6 million dollar hush money agreement, and then immediately admitted to the affair pretty much the moment the news became public. He's hired a crazy high priced criminal lawyer to represent him now that he's trying to withdraw from the agreement, a situation that is almost certain to cost him more money than just paying it would cost. Hell, even just the cost of it is absurd, no one gives a poo poo about Elliott Broidy, certainly not 1.6 million dollars worth of shits. And above all of that, the fact that Cohen is involved is an enormous blaring alarm. Cohen works for Trump. Trump is his only meaningful client, and even that is more of a lovely 'criminal' lawyer than an actual attorney. There is basically zero reason for the deputy finance chair of the RNC, of all people, to reach out to the president's criminal lawyer in order to get him to set up a hush money agreement. An agreement using the same names, the same colluding lawyer to help trick the counterparty and the same LLC to pay it out. Trump hosed yet another playboy model without protection and managed to get her pregnant. Then Trump paid for it to go away, the same way he always does.

http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/harper-white-house-west-wing-1.4731144 Stephen Harper is a former Canadian Prime Minister and has been frequently called upon to help strategize the "conservative" movement in the western world since he left office (because he's an uncaring political robot). He's probably helping to point out weaknesses in the Canadian front since the Drumpf-imposed trade war has fully kicked off with Canada's tariffs yesterday. Best case, Drumpf puts out a photoshoot of him posing in a totally unconvincing "i am also human" with a bunch of kittens in his arms.

So we got the new price lists for steel at work today. 25% increase across the board which means we'll be paying upwards of $500 more per coil Owners have already had a meeting agreeing to hold on for now. But if this hurts them, by October they'll start rolling out layoffs. We already gave up our quarterly bonuses and are working one person per two presses. Thank you Trump for loving our living

Also no kittens would get past Stephen Miller as they can sense pure evil.
