Article is mostly globally focused. But if I were in charge, I would impose a minimum 100% tariff on imported autos and auto parts. That would keep US factories open and expanding.

WHY DO YOU HATE SHAREHOLDER VALUE!!!!?????

Why do you hate American workers?

They are free to house illegals in their houses. But do they? Nah, they just want to pretend they care.

"Christianity Today was founded in 1956, and its current impact in the evangelical community is limited, said Greg Carey, a New Testament professor at Lancaster Seminary in Pennsylvania."

That quote from the article shows how desperate this publication is to stay relevant.

Gabbard looks bad, especially for her cozying up to the wrong powers of the Middle East

The wrong ones? Like Saudi Arabia?

Uh no, she's I believe the only candidate ever to call the Saudis out on their murderous Islamic ways.

Anyone ever been to a cat shootin'?

She’s about to drop out of politics, good riddance, she certainly never posed any threat to corporate fascists.

we all know that in the diseased mind of Democratic party, the only threat to corporate fascists is Hillary, who is on payroll of Goldman Sachs, who are by no means embodiment of all that is wrong with banking and is by no means a "vampire squid"

Left hates Democrats who aren’t 100% globohomo.

Why do you hate Muslim schools? Clearly Muslim phobic.

Does Oprah have a PREHENSILE! PENIS!, too?

You know she does. Her and Harvey Weinstein used to tag team pre-teen girls.

This link shows solid source materials for what they say

Gabbard looks bad, especially for her cozying up to the wrong powers of the Middle East. Her foreign policy RECORD sucks regardless of what she may currently be saying.

She’s about to drop out of politics, good riddance, she certainly never posed any threat to corporate fascists.

Which of the dem candidates you think are best? and why?

Is talking to someone to resolve the issues is wrong? Don't you think syrians want to live in syria instead of US and russia bombing them and they have to flee their homes.

jazz_music says

TULSI GABBARD SUCKS!!!

You wish. You would be lucky to get a smile from her. A blowjob is just a mastabatory fantasy .

You would think her anti war stance would make her popular among dems.

One more time, is this the year ... 1985? Donald Trump's personality is a known entity for at least 3+ decades.

I just turned 40 this past year and I've been hearing that this guy was a douche & sleazebag, my whole life.

And as for Jesus comparisons, last I'd checked, he was a non-union contractor in Judea, not a sleazy real estate developer and reality show host. So why the comparisons?

Here's the problem, according to mainstream Christian beliefs, all ppl are born of sin and thus, Trump is no different than anyone else (but a bit on the extreme as far as pride and avarice goes). The idea is that Trump can be a total slime ball but if he repents and accepts Jesus on his death bed (since he's going to die anyways), he's "saved". That's just the fact of the religion. The notion of karma (with reincarnation) doesn't exist because divine grace can alleviate anyone of one's sins and then, one can ascend after his mortal coil expires.

To be fair, 89 billion liters is not much water.

Seriously, it's just a pond, really.

1 billion liters of water = 10^(9-3) m^3 liters of water = 10^6 m^3 of water. 1 billion liters of water is a body of water 100 m by 100 m by 100 m, or roughly 330 m by 330 m by 10 m. So, 1 billion liters of water is a small lake.

Huh, was it deleted from Trump's Twitter feed?

It's 2 years old or so but goes to show you that leftoids already went fully retard right in 2016 when Trump got elected. Not that they haven't been on that course for a while but the 2016 election accelerated that process dramatically.

Thanks, I should have checked the date.

To be fair, 89 billion liters is not much water.

Sounds more like a good beer piss than a lake.

They're also bottling the water then reselling to the locals at a huge markup. It's called a bust out. Get a country into debt, introduce a plan through the IMF, then start selling off their natural resources to the highest bidder. Been doing it in Africa and South America for decades.

Just arm the parishioners. Worked last time.

This way shooters can go back to shooting up fag clubs.

As long as there are pulpit mounted M134's, churches will be safe.

Remind me again with diversity is a strength?

Iraq, the country we destroyed and dumped our nuclear waste in. Well I'm sure we can believe any Iran-backed movement purported to come out of that country is completely legit and not another psyops excuse for use to attack Iran.

The Trump Tax Cuts got us exactly the same GDP growth rate trend we’ve had for decades:

Appreciate the graphs. What do you think the solution is? This is one of the issues I've had with Trump. The "solutions" in the Dem. party right now are only going to worsen the trend. The candidates are absolute shit and everyone knows it, so people just keep attacking Trump instead of focusing on stuff like this.

These Fred graphs aren't very useful. Obviously the growth has been prolonged already by 2 years and UE is at historic lows while wage increases for the lower income folks have accelerated. Prior recessions happened every 8 years roughly. So graph 1 actually speaks for Trump. It's true that ZIRP and deficit spending by itself doesn't help but that's not the only actions that were taken. Overall Trump has outdone his predecessors significantly.

Try to squeeze one more in here in 2019.

Just a little bias there ?

True, nobody President since Reagan has been associated with that kind of increasing debt in a time of supposedly awesome economic growth. But it was much different then, at least there was room for interest rates to drop steadily for a couple decades but we didn't know that - so I considered and still consider the epic debt binge that Reagan started to be a huge mistake - and what history will probably show as one of the biggest causes of our current problems.

mell says

No, not to your narrative they aren't.

And, while we were promised the tax cuts would entirely pay for themselves, they certainly have not:

Great job Trump ! Kudos ! You da MAN !

TrumpingTits says

Out of control spending got us the deficits, not the corporate tax cuts

In most universes Tax Reciepts have little to do with spending (can you read the graphs ?)

But sure spending is a big factor too.

Should have paired cuts in taxes with cuts in spending, but may be I'm just being old fashioned and we can borrow and spend ourselves into prosperity

:
If you think about it, Hillary being President would have been so much better for us, becasue the repulbicans would be constantly on her about bringing the deficits down. That would be their biggest weapon, to keep her from getting any programs she wanted, and they in tern wouldn't get what they wanted.

It's kind of perverse if you think about it, but republican hatred for Hillary might have actually been what the government needed to keep corruption down.

Instead what we have is a swampfest free for all, with plenty of corruption scandals and assinine behavior in the Executive branch to distract us.

The democrats should currently be doing of what you describe. They SHOULD be criticizing ongoing wars, increased war spending, and increased deficits.

But nah... somewhere a middle aged crazy woman says kavanaugh touched her 50 years ago so the dems have better things to worry about.

Agreed.

Might be dreaming but I suspect Twump might do that in a 2nd term. Along with new tax cuts. No way he could do that in the 1st and get re-elected.

Jennifer Lawrence is into getting jizz all over her face. This is a !True! American gal.

Keep dreaming AF it will be two transfemale lesbos sucking each other's dicks on CNN
