I’ll speculaate it’s a huge nothing, and that you all wasted the country’s time for a long time. Get with the program or lose globalist leftist S*& tards. Jobs, middle class, a wall, no illegal immigration, less government waste, no useless wars and fair trade. It’s all highly desirable, so I can’t fathom how anyone can be against it. And yet the repugs are doing all they can to eviscerate the middle class and to make every job a low paying one. Carping connies like yourself are the ones standing in the way of legislation that would solve illegal immigration. No useless wars---who invaded Iraq? Why are we still in Afghanistan, burning through millions of dollars each and every day? Government waste? You mean like ICE?Where's the infrastructure?If you are going to go back to Iraq, which was a just war, problem was solved until Obama created isis, then i could go back to opposition to civil rights, Jim Crow, slavery. There was no southern strategy. That has been debunked. Just a bunch of racist democrats seeking to get votes by giving away free stuff. ICE is great. The problem is that there’s no cooperation at the local level. Then immigrants pour into the rest of the country. If someone is deported from the US for being there illegally, then who cares. If I extend my stay in Korea for two years or even 6 , working illegally, and they catch and deport me, then who is going to cry about me ? Even I’ll just say well it was nice while it lasted, time to go home.

So Obama not working with al Maliki closely like bush was, and telling him to do what he wanted, which happened to be suppressing sunnis, didn't lead to isis. Not to mention the quagmire in syria exacerbated the isis problem.It's not a conspiracy dingbat. He was weak on foreign policy. He screwed the pooch.

That's not to say what they did was excusable, but it doesn't affect Trump's guilt.The one crime that is linked to Trump is Cohen's confession to something that quite possibly might not be a crime and is certainly suspect on a host of grounds- attorney-client privilege, whether there was any intent to commit a crime by Trump since he was acting on advice of counsel, and so on.You have to really look at the specifics and understand what is being charged. There's a reason even some Democrats and Trump-loathing reporters are saying impeachment and collusion are light-years away. Well, those that aren't chasing ratings and attention at least.
The new tariffs will raise the cost of thousands of everyday items, including electronics, appliances, bicycles, tires, toys, clothing and footwear. Based on last year’s level of imports, the new China tariffs amount to a tax hike of $32.5 billion per year. If the latest set of tariffs rises to 25% and stays in place for 2019, the total additional tax would be $62.5 billion next year. The Trump tax cuts, by contrast, lowered tax payments by about $130 billion per year. So by this simple math, the China tariffs would offset about one-fourth of the Trump tax cuts this year, and nearly one-half next year.

This is a tax on products coming from China. Who cares if the consumer has to pay more. It’s more important that jobs are created and for every billion dollars that we don’t import we gain 1000s of jobs. We need to consume less and smarter anyways. If you are a liberal then you shouldn’t care about tariffs and defending the Chinese who harvest the organs of political dissidents, you’d be missing your corneas by now.

Don't care. It's about time the Dems did something to fight back against these smarmy Republicans, even if it was kinda lame. Remember Merrick Garland?

Nike has sold out 61 percent more merchandise since the controversial ad campaign featuring former NFL player Colin Kaepernick appeared earlier this month, according to data on the company's online sales from Thomson Reuters Proprietary Research.
"Trump's economy is the rising tide that is lifting all boats. This is especially true for Hispanics, who were among the biggest victims of the low-growth, high-regulation economy under President Obama."Last week, the Census Bureau announced new household income numbers, which showed that median income for Hispanic households grew by 3.7 percent, adjusted for inflation, last year. That’s more than double the increase seen by all households. More Hispanics moved into the upper-income brackets, and fewer remained in the lower ones...."This month, the Labor Department announced that the Hispanic unemployment rate remained at a record low — below 5 percent for the fifth consecutive month. This is less than half the unemployment rate that Hispanics faced as recently as President Obama’s second term...."With Trump unleashing the economy’s animal spirits, entrepreneurs — led by Hispanics — are increasing the long-depressed small business start-up rate...."Given this success, it’s no surprise that Hispanic approval of President Trump is rising. According to a Harvard CAPS/Harris poll this summer, Trump’s approval among Hispanics jumped by 10 percentage points in one month."https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/alfredo-ortiz-hispanics-flourishing-trump-economy/Trump continues to win.
