June 16, 20187 yr Trump has put a 25% tariff on $50bn of Chinese imports and then had the audacity to tell them not to retaliate or the tariffs will get worse!! Ordinary American people are the real losers here as things get more expensive for them in trumps trade wars. Although some could argue a degree of karma for those who backed him in spite of being warned this is exactly what he’d do Now I fully support someone finally calling out the Chinese on their dubious as f*** ways of catching up, forced co-ownership with local firms for technology “transfer” and blatant IP theft, but pressure should come from the WTO and through the appropriate international channels not through a unilateral Tariff hike that looks more like a baby throwing towns out the pram. What’s this gonna do to stop it huh? Where’s the diplomacy to get China to adopt proper IP protections and allow the enforcement of international IP law within its borders. A tariff hike does nothing beneficial at all

Strong baby! :lol:
June 18, 20187 yr Except in Trump's America it is literally babies who are being thrown out of the pram and into concentration camps sleeping on floors collectively within chain-mail fences, isolated from their parents, given away to God knows who, while republicans try to lie about facts, or excuse and justify it. yet another well-known far-right racist has just been appointed to his inner circle to spread his hate, lies and gradual killing of democracy and rights supported by the party of Abraham Lincoln. Ive said it before, people collectively are selfish morons and the human race is doomed to ignore problems until it's too late. If only we had a spare planet...
June 22, 20187 yr The truth behind this photo of an 'immigrant child' crying inside a cage https://edition.cnn.com/2018/06/18/us/photo...trnd/index.html ******************************* Surely what is happing is bad enough, without resorting to the sort of chicanery that Trump himself is guilty of?

Unbelievable. Instead of tweeting about the media not being allowed into centres to see for themselves what they are doing to children, or politicians, you attack the use of photos that are claimed to be false. try listening to this instead https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/video/2...on-centre-audio
June 23, 20187 yr "Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein 20h20 hours ago More BREAKING: According to a new CNN Poll, a staggering 42% of Americans now support impeaching President Trump. And this is before Robert Mueller issues his report, and before the Media figures out what Michael Cohen really knows." Fingers-crossed.....!
June 23, 20187 yr Unbelievable. Instead of tweeting about the media not being allowed into centres to see for themselves what they are doing to children, or politicians, you attack the use of photos that are claimed to be false. My point, which as usual you missed, is that there are more than enough legitimate reasons to attack Trump, without needing to stir up even more trouble with fake ones. BREAKING: According to a new CNN Poll, a staggering 42% of Americans now support impeaching President Trump. So there are 58% who don't? :teresa:
June 23, 20187 yr My point, which as usual you missed, is that there are more than enough legitimate reasons to attack Trump, without needing to stir up even more trouble with fake ones. So there are 58% who don't? :teresa: Didn't misunderstand your moaning about one photo, nor did I miss your not moaning about the evilness going on regardless of the photo. Trump hasnt been charged with anything yet...42% is quite high given 30% of Americans take no interest in current affairs. PS that doesn't mean that 58% don't believe he shouldn't be impeached, many may have neutral views until stronger convictions are made.
June 23, 20187 yr meanwhile in Russia Corruption-land (this one could easily go in the Brexit thread, but this thread i shorter so let's stick it here...) http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2018/...n=sharebutton-b
June 23, 20187 yr And in big news here's the plan for consolidating power into central government in many areas, cutting manpower, finance and many many other future dramas (brand new IT is always a guarantee to go wrong, deliver late, cost the earth, and increase the risk of foreign hacking) Trump clearly didn't write this, tI'm assuming this is the Republican Party's doing, attempting to create long-term harm that any future Democrats won't be able to easily fix, and to remove power from jumped-up States in certain areas. Ive just flicked through it, I can't read it all as my head will explode with rage.... https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploa...-Reorg-Plan.pdf
June 24, 20187 yr This wont be reported anywhere as it's too minor in the avalanche of Trump destruction going on, but worth pointing out that something as positive as this is on Trump's hate-list (because Obama passed it and he's systematically repealing everything Obama passed, even when no-one can possibly object to it - except oil industry owners like Trump): The Hill Verified account @thehill Follow Follow @thehill More Trump repeals Obama order protecting oceans from oil spills: http://hill.cm/vBuAr1d

June 25, 20187 yr The self-declared "very stable genius" businessman didn't think to buy the domain name TrumpHotels.org. So someone else bought it instead. http://www.trumphotels.org :lol:
June 25, 20187 yr Well, not surfing a site I'd never heard of before today, that's for sure. ;) Happy to help educate you away from Propaganda Websites.
June 26, 20187 yr Happy to help educate you away from Propaganda Websites. OR, away from right wing sites, toward left-wing ones? :teresa:
June 26, 20187 yr OR, away from right wing sites, toward left-wing ones? :teresa: it's not left-wing. Criticising right-wing liars who are abusing their powers does not indicate any political leaning other than supporting what is true and what is right. It must be utterly FABULOUS seeing the world in black & white terms, no sense of worry or fear of consequences, just blame everyone else for everything and shit stir?
June 26, 20187 yr It must be utterly FABULOUS seeing the world in black & white terms, no sense of worry or fear of consequences, It's very refreshing. :whistle:
