Making it rain in the Ukraine is clearly stressful work. I’ve been watching that guy in the news and my default was early 60s without thinking about it much.Quote:

I legit had no fucking clue who I was talking to for a half hour.
My buddy was doing most of the talking and from the context I could tell this was someone that went to school with us. My buddy had his phone face down on the bar so at 821pm I texted him who is this? If it was face up the other dude might have saw it, but face down I figured my buddy would see it and text me back. He finally said something to me that made a light bulb go off before my buddy ever got to the text. He started talking about growing up in our neighborhood and talking about all the idiots who are now dead or in jail and it dawned on me who I was talking to and not only did I know him, I knew him from probably age 5 and he lived like three houses down from me. Age is brutal. I can’t recall that ever happening when I’d come to town at 40. You might think wow this dude went bald, but you knew who it was. After say 45, it’s happened to me a whole bunch of times. Usually the light bulb goes off quicker. I know you’re roughly my age. This is why you skip class reunions at this point. It will be a night of that and discomfort.
He said he doesn't drink. Biggest red flag of the Maddow interview imo - I guess he could mean "i've been sober for 8 months" though.Quote:

In fact, Trump’s anti-Muslim rhetoric has most likely emboldened China into stepping up its political oppression of its Uyghurs Muslims, which has resulted in over a million of them being put into “re-education camps” (i.e. political prisoner concentration camps with forced propaganda conditioning, and possibly worse). But if I’m wrong about Team Trump essentially ignoring this gross human rights abuse by China, please point me to the Fox News segments that Trump has tweeted about as a must-stop condition for Trump to pull back on trade tariffs for Chinese goods...
Uh, Never mind. Turns out that last month the House of Representatives almost unanimously passed a bill to force Team Trump to get tough with China on the matter. Which pretty much signals that any of Trump’s public protestations over the matter to date were just hot air.

Instead, please point me to Fox News coverage of Trump demanding that China stop poisoning its own people on mass due to pathetically lax environmental protections, and making China reforming their environmental protections as a condition for reducing/eliminating tariffs on Chinese goods...
Hold off on that request, too. Just found an news article from last month which discusses the ‘Phase one’
terms of the trade deal Trump signed with China in December, as well as other key issues to be addressed in negotiations for the ‘Phase two’ terms and beyond. No mention of Trump demanding China strengthen its protections of the environment.

Seriously, dude. You’re batting 0 for 2 on the only two main issues you brought up a reasons for why the US should be tough on China re trade. Not a good way to get started debating this issue with someone who is a political junkie who also knows how to use the Google machine.
You missed the point. Not entirely and what you say above is absolutely valid. It was also valid for Obama, Bush, Clinton and Bush the 1st too. None of the previous did a fucking thing to stand our ground vs China especially economically and more specifically on a maceoeconomic/currency basis. Trump has at least attempted to take a stand and try and bargain a better deal. Before you say well why isn’t he taking a harder line it’s for reasons that should be obvious. This is a very difficult situation and if a trade war were to escalate it would be a bad thing for both of us and the rest of the world. It’s the reason why none of the previous presidents wanted to take on the issue. It’s a political third rail.Quote:

I’ll tell you right now if you think Russia “interfered” (or whatever we are calling it) in the last election China will try and “interfere” with this coming election to not have 45 re-elected.

Wouldn't do again.

Re the first paragraph of your response: Well, if you completely ignore Obama’s attempt to get the TPP passed and accepted as a trade treaty by the Senate, I’d agree with you about him doing nothing to stand our ground versus China. Because the main objective of the TTP was to create a huge trading block of nations that included as many of China’s neighbors in order to have more real bargaining power against China regarding managing our trade relationship with China.Quote:

So to say that he was doing nothing is a complete misread of both his actions and intent regarding trade with China. One could disagree with whether that strategy would have been more effective than Trump’s unilateral go-it-alone tariff war-plus-excessive-blustering that has only resulted in hurting the economy and at best minimal gains on actual trade terms with China.
Re your second paragraph: Why would China want to see someone other than Trump in the White House? His tariff war hasn’t made an appreciable chain in the longterm trajectory of China’s increasing economic might. And Xi knows that Trump will eventually settle for nominal changes in trade terms in a new trade deal in order to publicly declare that he is “winning” versus China. Because with Trump, actual substance doesn’t matter, only the public perception of his supposed accomplishments on that front.
And while his go-it-alone blustering looks good to his base, it does nothing to strategically improve the US’ economy bargaining power over China, which because is not a democratically elected government, can play the long game to tolerate any short term economic pain Trump’s trade war imposes before that “winning” new trade deal on the books.
Just watched Alan Dershowitz give his constitutional case on CNN against impeachment, made Jeff Tobin look stupid. I hope my mind is that sharp when I’m 81, pretty impressive guy.
At least 263 school shootings since Trump took office.
Just another record that Trump is proud of.

The expression on Rudy’s face and just the posture of those in that picture reminds me of a scene in a mob movie where they’re going to drive him somewhere and put a bullet in his head and Rudy knows it. Clearly they didn’t, and I assume he may have been irritated at getting his picture taken with dudes he doesn’t want to be in a picture with, but it was my first thought at that photo.Quote:

whats funny is that the fallout from the divorce (him becoming a pariah in upper crust nyc) is exactly what drives... you guessed it.. donald trump.
rudy basically sees all this as him earning his bones to get taken seriously, and the lawyer in him thinks he needs to make one big win to get there. however the geriatric lunatic in him has grasped onto a bunch of qanon agitprop as his keys to the kingdom, so he cant shut up about rico charts and hunter biden. and because he has severely limited government influence or resources, he ends up saddled with grey market castoffs like the ukranian minigarch who sold condos for trump's father, and the failed republican congressman with an established history of stalking accusations and documented mental illness to accomplish his goals.
if nothing else its absolutely hilarious.
hey so fun update, trump is wandering around his golf course asking people to explain to him what impeachment is and why its happening to him.
The fact tine uses the phrase earning his bones legit let's you know hes 60
Bro, how tall is Barron gonna be?
https://media.breitbart.com/media/20...23-640x431.jpg
barron not having fresh air max 90s is the first real misstep in trumps presidency
trump just had andrew peek, the top russia expert on the national security council, physically escorted out of the white house and off the property.
totally normal probably just a misunderstanding.
China loves Trump. He's weakening America and reducing its global influence, while giving the thumbs up to thugs and dictators all over the world. This plays right into their long game, where they not only want to dominate economically but kill the western aspiration toward human rights, free speech and democracy. They don't like everything he's done on US-China trade relations but he just caved on a whole bunch of stuff he doesn't realize the consequences of, and they can wait him out if needed.Quote:

Barron could end up being extremely tall mainly because of 5'11" Melania. Trump being 6'2" (or at least 6'2" before perhaps losing some height due to old age) also contributes.
Most super tall people have tall but not super tall parents.
However, it's also possible that Barron (who is almost 14) might be almost done growing. While the average boy stops growing at 17, some stop earlier. A kid in my 6th grade class was 6 feet tall. By the time we both graduated high school, we were the same height. He stopped very early, and I caught up by growing until 18 1/2.
Anyway in that pic he looks about 6'6", but it also might be misleading because he's the closest one in the photo.
There's also some speculation that Barron is autistic, or is at least on the spectrum. It has been found that there's a much higher autism risk for kids with older fathers, and Trump was 58 when he was born.
In the meantime, here is how you can get a Trump 2020 calendar.
I might buy this as a gift for sonatine for his birthday.

Perhaps Barron secretly is the love child of a famous former NBA superstar.Quote:
