All Things Trump: Is it over yet?

[Cunt]

Amazing. You probably would rationalize gas chambers if it ever actually came to that...

I don't understand, do you mean that he should release them in sanctuary cities, or non-sanctuary cities?

Or do you have another plan? Keep them in cages indefinitely?

Wtf?! Fucking monster!

President Trump threatens Gouda and Edam cheese with new import tariffs

Someone has got to stop this son of a bitch...

How about all the other cheeses we make? Just two of hundreds.

“The real message here — and I think he’s right about this, but it’s hidden in the presentation and sound and fury — is fundamentally European macro-economic policy… is that Europe is free-riding global demand, running huge trade surpluses and nobody has really stood up credibly to that ideology until Trump."

''

Nonetheless, Lonergan said it was ironic that Trump had been criticized by the “commentariat” on the details of trade tariffs, but that his wider aim to address global trade imbalances was being overlooked with too much focus on the headline-grabbing tariff threats and trade war fears.

“Look, I do not like all these tariffs, I do not like trade wars, I do not like the presentation of Trump. But when it comes down to the fundamental point of saying to policymakers in Europe, ‘Look at what you’re doing and this is not sustainable and look what happened the last time we had these imbalances,’ there is actually a fundamental point here,” Lonergan said.

He added that Europe was dominated by economies enjoying a trade surplus and had been able to take advantage of consumption in the States.

“What has happened post-euro crisis is that Europe is free-riding, it’s saying we’re going to run massive trade surpluses — Italy’s running a current account surplus now; peripheral Europe is; central and eastern Europe, which were deficit countries pre-crisis are now big surplus countries… We’re only able to run those surpluses thanks to the generosity and kindness of strangers who are willing to take in all of those goods.

“It’s a lie to say this is an amazing German export achievement — no, it isn’t, it’s because there is a consumer at the other end who’s willing to generate the demand.”

What happened to the supposed virtue of free markets?

They'd be great if Europe would drop its tariffs on US imports.

There seems to be a lot of outrage that the US has tariffs or raises them. And, a lot of argument that contradicts the outrage - that the tariffs actually just hurt the US, and tariffs don't hurt the other countries who they are supposed to hurt.

However, I haven't heard much about the European tariffs, and how they are unfair and at the same time hurt Europe, and help other countries.

The reason Trump threatens to raise tariffs and raises tariffs is to push the other countries to come to the table to agree to lower there tariffs. That way, US companies will be benefitted when exporting into those countries whose tariffs have been lowered.

Free markets are great, but we can't pretend that the markets are free when there are tariffs all over the place.

The guy wasn't talking about tariff imbalances. He's saying that there's something wrong about two countries trading and a trade imbalance resulting. But that's always going to be a posibility when two countries trade freely.

Trump told CBP head he'd pardon him if he were sent to jail for violating immigration law

He's just a guy who pardons some people.

... where trading freely occurs in accordance with negotiated treaties. So much for the rule of law eh?

Sounds perfect! Welcoming cities, and *poof*, there is no problem.

I mean, it's not like the numbers are 'crisis level' or anything, so why would there be a problem.

File this one under the Trump administration defending 'religious freedom.' Good policies!

'U.S. government backs off case of female genital mutilation'

A decision by the U.S. Department of Justice not to fight to defend a federal law banning female genital mutilation (FGM) sends a "damaging message" to those working to end the practice, advocates said on Friday.

Government lawyers said on Wednesday they would not appeal a decision by a Michigan federal judge who dismissed charges involving FGM as unconstitutional, ruling it was a state issue.

Congress in 1996 outlawed FGM, a ritual that involves partial or total removal of external genitalia, which the World Health Organization has called "a grave violation of the human rights of girls and women."

Half a million girls and women in the United States have undergone or are at risk of undergoing FGM, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The decision by the U.S. government "is sending a damaging message to law enforcement, the courts and to the courageous survivors who are breaking the silence around FGM," said Shelby Quast, an office director for Equality Now, an international human rights organization, in a statement.

Too fucking right. And really, a judge shouldn't be dilly-dallying around this either.
