Around the same time this episode would have aired, Newt Gingrich was passing around a book named Chimpanzee Politics written by primatologist Frans de Waal, the warped interpretation of which sparked the "Alpha Male" movement among conservatives. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/e...

Grover Cleveland couldn't take the Statue of Liberty home with him for personal use.

Wasn't the point to incentivize China towards a greater balance of trade? Now Walmart has to eat the pain too? Let's go back to square one. WHY are you implementing these tariffs, Mr. President? Sounds like you're asking Walmart to CYA for a stupid policy, that everyone told you was stupid.

I mean c'mon. If you had a massive brain like he does, working all the time, that would be a serious draw on your body's resources too!

Purchasing power is an expression of autonomy, literal personal freedom, you provide the skills and labor, you're compensated and you make choices on how to spend the money representing your contribution to society. So, does Donald *need* gold plated toilets in his 62,500 square foot mansion?

Well, if you're brown and look poor... Duh. 🙄 (100% sarcasm that happens to touch too much on the reality of their attitudes)

I think it's another form of cognitive dissonance, I had it myself when I believed. You believe that God is God, he's supernatural and all powerful and you're told he's completely loving, and you *want* to believe it, so you have to make the pieces fit somehow...

Basically what the Trump administration is trying to revive is the lynch mob, a modern day version where the undesirables are flow off to some place out of sight to be with the other undesirables, and whatever they do there is up to them, as long as we didn't have to see them anymore.

Oh yeah, I hadn't thought of our President actually holding U.S. companies hostage in a trade war... You kind of have to have a criminal mind to come up with these things unprompted.

I run a store for an E.E. university department. I checked the latest list of exemptions. There are a lot of discrete electronic parts included, the kinds that American manufacturers need to build things like automobiles. He's destroyed any leverage we had with that reckless blanket tariff.

Oh gee, you mean all the parts that make Made in the USA possible for much of our sophisticated products... like cars and trucks? This dipshit has put us into a beggars position with his machismo. I'm all for reducing our dependence, but this was NOT the way to do it.
