The buffoon peelosi thinks 9/11 was just an "incident"
How fucking dumb can you anti Trumpers be?
Pelosi describes 9/11 attacks as 'incident,' suggests GOP weaker on border than Democrats

Maybe he can put a tariff on vagina hats.
Trump's trade critics are wrong -- His tariffs could bring major benefits to America

SPENDING TIME WITH DADDY
https://claytoonz.com/2018/07/27/spending-time-with-daddy/
Last night’s nightly breaking Trump news consisted of Michael Cohen revealing that Donald Trump knew beforehand of Russian spies visiting Trump Tower to dish stolen dirt on Hillary Clinton. The Russians met with Donald Trump Jr., then-campaign manager and current jail occupant Paul Manafort and Jared Kushner before the election.
Why is this important? Trump has denied any knowledge that meeting ever took place. He claims he didn’t know about it despite being just one floor up in the same building, until the press reported it. Donald Trump Jr. has made the same claim. Despite his supposed ignorance of the meeting, Trump dictated Jr’s statement on it to the press while flying home from his first meeting to insult NATO. Later, he lied about that.
This is complicated. Right now it’s unproven and it may come down to he said, he said, or in this case, douchebag said, douchebag said. What are the legal implications if it’s proven? For Trump, if he knew the information was stolen then he’s part of a conspiracy. If he only knew of the meeting but not that the material was stolen, then he’s an accessory. The same goes for Junior who also testified before the Senate that his father had no knowledge of the meeting.
Rudy Giuliani was quick to pounce with the defense that Cohen is a liar and without any credibility. He said Cohen has lied all his life. Rudy is a former prosecutor who has used liars and all sorts of gangsters without credibility as witnesses to put other gangsters in prison. Previously, he said Cohen should cooperate with the government as long as he tells the truth. Rudy never had a problem with Cohen’s word when he liked his words, whether they were truthful or not.
Rudy’s sanity has been questioned lately, and for good reason. His best defense of Donald Trump is that someone else is a liar without credibility? He’s a known liar who’s lied his entire life? Has he even met his client? Oh, yeah. There was that time Rudy dressed in drag and Trump was hitting on him in a comedy skit that was more creepy than funny.
He is right in one regard. Cohen is a liar. You would have to be if you’re Donald Trump’s lawer/fixer. Denying any knowledge about paying off Stormy Daniels aboard Air Force One (they’re really gonna have to scrub and decontaminate that plane when this is all over), Trump told the press to ask Cohen. It seems he didn’t have an issue with his credibility then.
Cohen does have a track record of lies. Unfortunately for Trump, most of those on the record is in defense of Donald Trump. How many years did Trump employ this liar?
This entire ordeal of Russians in Trump Tower is consumed with lies. Jr told the press that the campaign was unaware of Russians trying to meet with the Trump campaign. Later, when the meeting was revealed, his response was like, “oh…you meant those Russians.”
Trump, who is now on record lying about knowledge of payments to Stormy and Playmate Karen McDougal (does he remember boinking them?), claimed that the Obama administration didn’t try to prevent Russian hacking because they never notified his campaign. The truth is, his campaign was notified by the FBI. Trump lies.
Trump continues to lie and calls the Russia investigation a witch hunt and that the ones colluding were the Democrats, despite the fact there were literal Russians in Trump Towers and spies on his campaign staff. He’s also ignoring the multiple indictments against Russians and that every branch of our intelligence agencies verify that Russia meddled in the election to help Donald Trump. Earlier this week, Trump even tweeted that Russians would attacked us again and help the Democrats. Yesterday, it was reported that Russians hackers attempted to steal passwords from a Democratic Senator’s campaign staff. The point is, Trump lies.
There’s also the fact that the day Russians first attacked the DNC was the very same day Trump called from a podium for Russia to “release” Clinton’s emails. Trump also shouted on the campaign trail, “I love Wikileaks,” and read them out loud on stage. Each of these instances are actual footage of him colluding with Russia.
Trump keeps calling the investigation a hoax and there was no collusion. We know it’s not a hoax and it’s starting to look like there was collusion going on in Trump Tower (a building which was probably financed by Russians).
Trump is very sensitive that talk of Russian meddling invalidates his election victory. As it turns out, it does. Trump is a liar. Even if his campaign didn’t collude, he would NOT be president today if Vladimir Putin didn’t give him a push.
I’d like to see Trump and several of his minions pushed out of the White House and into prison. He may actually feel very comfortable there because prisons are full of liars.

The China that can say no
TheMoneyIllusion » The China that can say no
I’m not at all a fan of the Chinese government, especially Xi Jinping. But I do wish the best for the Chinese people, so I’m offering some advice in this spirit.
Right now the Trump administration is pressuring China on a number of fronts. I believe that China is in a far stronger negotiating position than many people realize, perhaps stronger than they realize. Here are some factors to take into account:
1. China is a huge country. It has the world’s biggest economy and the gap with the US gets wider every year. It has more than 4 times the US population. It does far more trade than any other country. Its current account is approaching balance. Trade with the US is a small share of China’s GDP. The US does have a big military advantage, but that’s of no use in trade negotiations.
2. It’s true that China has a large trade surplus with the US, but that cuts both ways. We could hurt China by cutting off Chinese imports, but that action would hurt the US just as much. Imagine consumers showing up at Walmart or Target and finding no Chinese goods—the shelves would be almost empty. Now imagine Walmart’s buying manager calling up their Indian purchaser, and asking how long it will take India to make up for the lost output from just the Pearl River delta. A decade? Two decades? Are American consumers that patient?
3. The Chinese people have been through much greater hardship than the American people, and are much better positioned to survive the unpleasantness of a trade war. (BTW, the greater Chinese tolerance for hardship has been noted by historians going way back in history.) In addition, Trump has little support for his trade war in either the Democratic or Republican Party leadership, whereas the Chinese government is more unified. Trump may lose the House in November, and has to think about the 2020 election as well. The Chinese should delay, delay, delay. Time is on their side.
Overall I think it’s in China’s interest to stand up to Trump. Bullies like Trump tend to be cowards, who back down when someone actually puts up a fight. If the Chinese do want to grant any concessions, they might consider lowering a few trade barriers, which would actually help China and thus not really be a “concession” at all.
What about Chinese rules that force foreign companies to provide intellectual capital as a pre-condition for entering the Chinese market? It’s hard for me to get worked up about this issue, for a number of reasons:
1. The US does far worse things, such as putting extreme sanctions on companies that do business with Iran, even if those companies are located in countries that have perfectly good relations with Iran, and who support the Iran deal along with 90% of the rest of the world. The US is a big bully that tries to force the whole world to do as we do. We also bully smaller countries like Canada in international trade disputes, often ignoring our own agreements. We are the last people who should be criticizing China for not playing by the rules.
2. One can make a good case that it’s efficient for foreign companies to be forced to transfer technology to China. Intellectual property laws are too restrictive, and the benefit of the technology to the 1.4 billion people in China probably far exceeds the cost to the companies and their stockholders. And who are we to complain about a country using its size to get its way?
From a fairness perspective, keep in mind that China’s size is a disadvantage in international trade. China contains by far the most homogenous large population anywhere; indeed there is nothing else on Earth like the 1.26 billion strong Han ethnic group. This means that China is constantly suffering from disadvantageous terms of trade whenever it goes into a new industry. In contrast, Switzerland can specialize in a few industries without driving prices down to rock bottom. So from a “fairness” perspective, the forced technology transfers merely offset the huge disadvantage China faces in trade due to its massive size and homogeneity. (This homogeneity is a gold mine for US corporations—why shouldn’t they have to “pay to play”.)
(It would be different if the job skills in various Chinese regions were as diverse as in Europe, but they are not.)
I didn’t even mention other possible Chinese advantages, such as their strong authoritarian dictatorship, because I’m not convinced dictatorships actually do have more power. However, others might cite that factor.
PS. Several commenters asked me about an article claiming that the Chinese thought Trump was a formidable negotiator. Here’s how I responded:
Trump’s been in office 18 months and done an amazingly bad job of negotiating. For instance, he desperately needed McCain’s vote to repeal Obamacare, and instead mocked the fact that he was captured by the North Vietnamese (where he was tortured.) Is that how smart negotiators win people over to their side? He gave N. Korea the recognition it wanted and got nothing meaningful in return. He tore up the Iran agreement and failed to negotiate anything better. The EU president ran circles around him in yesterday’s agreement. Putin made a fool of him. He blabbed out top secrets to Russian officials in a White House meeting. Where is the evidence that he’s a good negotiator? I know; it’s all a secret master plan that only a select few can understand.
I’m guessing that a few of these glowing comments from the Chinese are a tactic to butter Trump up so that they can more easily use their vastly superior negotiating skills to run circles around him, just as Juncker did yesterday.

Not that it matters but here's the facts on border separations.
The anti Trumpers already dropped them. Although if they thought slaughtering them would help bring President Trump down they'd be down there killing all they could.
Government data shows the entire ‘family separation’ crisis was built of lies
