Yes, but 200% would maybe cause some other bad things, like missles. Don't push so hard they have to fight to preserve their power...

H i trying to balane the trade with chinaa by artifcially increasing chinese prices. Problem is that tariffs woud have i be about 275% to make chinese pricessimilar to sa prices. 10-25% just increases costshere but doesnt affect buying ecisins

I think that is also part of the Trump agenda, he is handling an awful lot of stuff at once, let alone a huge chunk of the government gone corrupt.

here is a VERY interesting analysis of exactly why Strozk was in Congress and what message he was to send to the Cabal. It is compelling to see, and makes perfect sense, but explains how we may see a new governor in Oregon, once the dust settles.

I agree wth ur comment on China., which I NOT our ally at all. They are a very smart competitor desirous of taking advantage of th Laziness and finance excessesof the USA t defat us
The communist government s taking advanage of the very hard working Chinese.
Meanwhile, we print money and the chneseaccept and hoard it, keepng the Chinese yuan from rising in values do keeping inflation Dow in the USA.

The Chinese govt is biding it’s time hilewe et drunk on low Chinese prices and give up our manufacturing capabilities and our position of independence in the world. We need to wake up. I think it’s a little late tho, and raids are not going to work

Might as well have been McCain...

Exactly so! I tried to explain that to my wife, that the Intelligence people he does not trust are NOT the ones he uses, but the ones the Cabal have inserted over the last 60 years or so, to enable their plan. They needed all those things to happen. Trump is the disruptive figure they did not have an answer too, so they try to destroy him, but he was just a figurehead, supported by Q. Q is the real backbone of the war effort against them. They seem to have a pretty good set of weapons as well...

Indeed so, OA, they are on their own agenda which is a single world government run by the elite. If the best quality elite they have is Clinton and her ilk, they are way below the bar needed.

And no one seems to have noticed China has hacked billions in material, state of the art tech, weapons system, they even stole the plans for the F35 from Lockheed and no one said a peep....go figure..

No, they just have their own agenda and Russia has not been coopted apparently. They may have played the Cabal, but seem to not be part of it.

No doubt, I think they coach him on what is needed and probably told Vlad the Impaler what they were doing.Although I think Vlad is a nasty dictator, he has a weird sense of fairness, mainly centered on respect for Russia.

Pathetic, but illustrative and instructive as to their true intentions for the country.

The 20% you refer to are, as Stalin so graciously put it, the "Useful Idiots" needed to control the population. Use them, then you shoot them.I call them the UI.

Exactly so, 2 years ago it was revealed that the group that hacked them used a simple social engineering spoof to get in, and they KNEW all about it. They opened the the door into their sordid world and then act surprised, and realize just how much dirt was sucked out. Then the dirt is spread, and to neutralize it, they created the "hacking" excuse.

The hysteria is getting totally out of control. What gives me heart is that the American people are seeing the hysteria and realizing the folks in DC are a bunch of lamebrained children.
Realize that next week, there is another hysterical moment for them to point their collective fingers at Trump and neenerneer. Its coming, wait for it.
I'm embarassed that I, and my fellow citizens, have let it get this far. Time to fill the lampposts in DC, yet?
I read an article on another site where the author offered an explanation for the madness we are witnessing from the left. Especially those in policitical circles of both sides of the aisle. The author is D. Blackmon and he writes the "DB Daily Update". He offered that along with TDS(Trump Derangement Syndorome), there is a companion disease he calls "Self-Preservation Syndrome". Those who have been doing dastardly deeds for years may fear exposure by a friendly Russia(to the Trump administration) and expose all that they have done to the detriment of the USA. Think about it.

All those on the Left don't get it. When I listen to the President in Helsinki I heard this " Keep your friends close and your enemies closer". No one seems to have understood that. The Left and some on the Right must have a selective hearing loss. Or, is it a lack of understanding?

We ARE all to blame for the terrible relations between USA and Russia.

The Russians did some cyber espionage on the democrats and Hillary, turned themselves into truth-telling whistleblowers, denied it and got caught- creating big political problems .

On the US side, the establishment settled on the Russian collusion nonsense, whipping up a public and political firestorm preventing a meeting between Trump and Putin.

So there is 'blame' on both sides. Trump was right, and I didnt see Putin denying it.

That said, nothing would have been gained by pounding on Putin like that idiot Fox interviewer did. Some things Putin just shouldnt talk about publicly, and the same thing is true with Trump. So be it.

No on "greater than Washington". Didn't and wouldn't say that. However, I believe he is as genius as the Founding Fathers were (in a different way) and he will be as consequential for our times.

I know little if anything about Silent Cal's presidency. However, it seems to me that he just did (or, didn't do) what was expected of him and stayed out of the way of the engine of our economy. Which was very good, but shouldn't be considered remarkable. Do I have that wrong?

I believe President Trump won the popular vote, too. The Democrats can only win with fraud. Remove all the illegal votes, and I'm sure Trump won the popular vote handily. But, it's the electoral college that elects presidents. So, the popular vote doesn't even matter, much as the loonies whine about it.

The Democrat loons in this country, as I stated above, probably only number 20% of the reliable votes for the Dems. The rest are just dupes who have not paid much attention before. They DID during 2016 because of the celebrity aspect of Trump. And, they ARE more intently now. And, while they are paying attention, the Democrats hilariously are shooting themselves in the foot DAILY. Many, who didn't pay attention before, are RUNNING away from the Democrat Party now. The mid-terms are going to be a blowout.

Get out the popcorn. It's going to be VERY entertaining.

Hello Nickursis,
It doesn't matter what he does.
If he talks tough, they say he is trying to get us into WW3. If he doesn't call Putin a liar to his face in public, he is Putin's poodle.
The MSM are propagandists with an agenda, plain and simple.
Respectfully,
OA

lol!

Those rattletrap libtard media monkeys are to be laughed at all the more every day.
At the moment I'm not thinking of rat packs or excited barking chihuahuas.
Now having listened to montages of the fake news bellyaching about Trump being some sort of traitor, it's more like imagining the Three Stooges all in disarray running in circles, throwing their arms about and yelling, "Woo-woo-woo!"

I have contended without opposition from my audience (my dear wife) that Trump won the popular vote with 72%. (That's NOT counting the votes of places where there were more votes than voters, or votes from people who lived in two or three or 18 places at once, or anybody in Chicago.)

Greater than Lincoln? Quite possibly. Greater than George Washington? You would have an argument with me about that, but you might win.

I think I would put Silent Cal Coolidge up there in the top of the list, even though he is usually used as part of various jokes.

I don't underestimate their vindictiveness or the threat, I don't overestimate their ignorance either. It's bizarre how they don't "get" that Americans would rather be struggling while working with dignity, than struggle and be unemployed eating Doritos all day.

The socialist extremists in the Democratic Party have basically taken over at this point - among the "Dems" they probably seem somewhat rational, but put them in a general election on a national averaged basis outside of their small pockets of leftist weirdos and on a macro level, you are looking at 20% of the country that will go for that - they always have to moderate the rhetoric going into a general election, but seem not to be doing so this time.

There was one wacko on CNN calling for "the Army to step-in and remove Trump from power" ... What the hell? Some of them are calling for a "coup" - weird, considering their hatred of the military and all-things-defense-oriented.

How well do you think the Ocasio gal would do in Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio, Georgia, or Alabama with the made-up "Bronx" upbringing, "democratic socialism", and her "downtrodden" Boston University undergraduate with her career as another "community organizer".

I am going to make a bold prediction, America is going to slap-down the "party of chaotic politics", their "occupy" bullshit, their "resist" movement that is practically "armed resistance" at this point, and they are going to lose big... really big. I bet the R's take 6 more senate seats and the House swings 20 more to the right.

Phase 2 - one would think they would do some self-reflection, but they won't, they will be suing Trump with 30 cases in federal court for doing a "bad job" and "hurting their feelings".

"Democratic Socialism" itself is a farce - socialism destroys the economy, destroys the primary means for production by eroding capital and employment, and inevitably the regime will need to protect itself from ouster by clamping-down and curtailing human rights. Can anyone really cite an example of a "democratically elected" socialist leader that didn't become a dictator? They call Trump "Hitler" - but Hitler was a nationalist socialist, and he controlled the economy and all means of production - sounds a hell of a lot more like Bernie Sanders or Ocasio-Cortez than it does a free-market capitalist like Trump.

Does not matter what he says or does. The screwed up demo party will attack. Give it a couple of days and then something new will pop up. What happened to all the kids?

Excellent point, evlwhtguy.
