Bytor shows up at the most interesting moments. Manafort met with Assange!! And today Trump is attacking Mueller. Coincidence?

I must get more popcorn.

the first video was interesting. and yeah, of course it's going to be manipulated by political entities. anybody here ever watched "citizen ruth"? hilarious movie.

of course they want jobs.

the interviewer lies though: the us does not have benefits for illegals. not even for permanent residents. only for citizens. of course the poor peasants say "yes".

the second is some slow talking dude in his car. wtf lololol. who has time for this? read a book.

anyway, yeah, mueller is a republican btw ha ha ha. one of the few left.

ok! happy tuesday.

Straight outta Suspiria

So, a couple of questions for you all if I may:

1) Does anyone think that Trump had no idea that Manafort met with Assange?

2) Does anyone think that the Mueller report will not be devastating for Trump?

Sorry for what? For believing a criminal like Manafort? For quoting Fox News, of all places? YAH NO SHIT, you SHOULD be sorry for that. See, this is the problem that undercuts each and every bullshit argument you've made in this thread: they all stem from the fact that you took Trump at his word in the first place — guy promised

and

, and you simply trusted him because you liked those "ideas" even though he OBVIOUSLY was and is a deabeat pathological liar.

Delete your signature. You don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

You are not even trying anymore, are you?

So anyway, ending subsidies to GM will help this situation......how?

(Serious question!! Please....no "answers" from trumptrainnews.)

the six-time bankrupt thinks he's equipped to run GM. lol!

stock prices rose after the announcement...

and it's a shitty deal for workers, but there is not enough demand for what they're producing there right now and if they don't downsize it the whole company goes down the hole and we're back to 2008.

of course the union will have its say and the understanding is that workers will be placed in other plants when possible. lot has to be worked out, but preferably by grownups who know how to run a business and represent workers.

the subsidies are not in the orange blob's hands, they're an act of congress, but as usual he doesn't have a clue. they're tax credits for buyers of electric cars. cutting them would hurt more workers. but as usual, idiots suck on his lies...

this downsizing in part relates to the fucking dotard's tariffs on metal. here, from the same market watch:

https://www.marketwatch.com/story/gm...oar-2018-07-25

it's not central to the downsize, which is about reduced demand, but it does not help.

(i test drove a chevy cruze recently. it was a bit shit.)

low fuel price is increasing demand for trucks and suvs.

but hey, next thing dotard will give us coal powered cars!

funny thing, the whole competitiveness measure is the opposite of the orange baby trying to run a company that he's not qualified to run. please stick to selling trump steaks and fake university diplomas and reality shows.

re: the fires, trump train forgets that more federal land burned than state land? and while california increased its forest management budget, commander bonespurs cut it. total bullshit website for those who suck off the cock of trump lies.

carnival barker in chief. i have no patience for these fuckers anymore. fuckem.

eta also ford was slammed by tariffs and is ceasing sedan production in the u.s. say bye to ford focus and fusion.

In my naïve adolescent opinion: Trump shows that there's a bit of a problem with your system, in that an (in)famous celebrity with more money that brains, whose political viewpoints lie with no one but himself, can fairly easily become the most powerful person in the country.

Parliamentary democracy FTW.

From Gourmet magazine, 2007:

Quote:

We have no doubt that you've heard of Trump Steaks, the Donald Trump-branded frozen beef that's being sold at The Sharper Image (yes, that Sharper Image). We have no doubt that you think the concept is as stupid as we do (which is to say, seriously stupid). But, when an idea is this inane, doesn't it deserve a second look? Some of our colleagues are happy to pass judgment without giving them a try, but we're happy to report that we braved these beefy waters. First, let's get to the business of money (this is Donald Trump we're talking about, after all). The Sharper Image seems to be under the impression that if they can charge America $500 for an ionic breeze air purifier, they can charge a similar amount for frozen steak. After all, according to The Donald (and the packaging), this is THE WORLD'S GREATEST STEAK. We would certainly be willing to pay a premium for the world's greatest steak. Is $200 really too much to pay for two filets, two rib eyes, and a dozen burgers when they'll be the best two filets, two rib eyes, and dozen burgers you've ever eaten? Wouldn't you be willing to drop a grand on 16 of the greatest steaks in the world (plus two dozen burgers)? Because these prices wouldn't be so completely outrageous if this really was the world's greatest steak. After all, real Kobe beef can run over a thousand dollars a pound. But the truth is that these steaks are wholly mediocre.

The Donald is happy to point out that these are USDA Prime beef, and that less than 1% of all beef is Prime. He is so confident in the quality of his steaks that he doesn't even mention the multitude of other (usually important) factors—how they're aged, what the cows were fed, how long they're frozen before they get to you—that would normally affect the taste of the steaks. They're USDA PRIME, you idiot. That means that even the government knows these are, to reiterate, THE WORLD'S GREATEST STEAKS. One taste, though, and you'll probably be tempted to disagree. With a dry, grainy texture and a complete lack of any of the sorts of wonderful herby, tangy notes that the best steaks have, these are exactly what you'd expect: reminiscent of a steak you might get at a country club—edible, but not particularly good. This isn't too surprising, given that these steaks are simply licensed from SYSCO, the mighty industrial-strength purveyor that makes a mint selling things such as ketchup, chocolate syrup, and steaks to, like, every country club in the world. Even the commemorative box in which they come—it's black and gold and signed by Mr. Trump!—can't mask the fact that these are the same steaks you can get pretty much anywhere. Though, to The Donald's credit, his PR agents can actually get the steaks to us. This is evidently harder than it sounds because when we were contacted by fellow celeb-cum-steak-mogul Greg Norman's PR team regarding his line of steaks, we were assured that samples could be sent. Weeks later, we're still waiting for the Greg Norman steaks. Perhaps The Shark knows as well as we do that we're all just living in The Donald's world, so we might as well eat his meat, too.

but okay yes. he might has more money than brains— but he has not nearly as much money as he pretends to have. which is why he keeps hiding his tax returns.

he also inherited a lot more than he pretends

i bet if he put his inheritance in a mutual fund he’d be richer by now. sucky businessman only good at propaganda.

Based on a few minutes of Wikipedia, and the assumption that their government is similar to mine, he's still had to become the leader of a party which has formed a coalition. That requires some fairly clever diplomatic skills, and if it had been clear that he wasn't capable of the job, something would have stopped him along the way (probably).

Oversights are something that don't really seem to happen in the United States.

big tent parties are not terribly different from coalitions, but the differences are negotiated internally

watch for example the current democrat battles for picking speaker of the house. pelosi, centrists progressives, the different caucuses...

trumpo beat everyone at the primaries and has been using this demonic powers to bend the republicans to his will. everyone from the evangelicals to the tea partiers folded, and those who didnt either quit (paul ryan) or died (mccain).

this is some nostradamus level shit ha ha ha

horrible...

but hey, before that was dubya with his phony weapons of mass destruction, and before that newt gingrich destroying bipartisanship forever, and before that bush 1 and ronnie raygun, and before that nixon... ayayay

Now The Dub (retarded war criminal) looks presidential, McCain (W lite, even if he showed sparks of decency) has been canonized, and Reagan (thank you for the ultimate triumph of savagely laissez-faire capitalism coupled with brutal Evangelicalpolitik) is GOD, while Jeff "the KKK was OK until I found out they smoked pot" Sessions, Don fuck-you-Sally-Yates McGahn and John the united free$peech citizen are paragons of the defense of democracy.

All of the above in comparison to President Tiny. Yes, "Every generation thinks it's the last / Thinks it's the end of the world", but fuck it, this is rock bottom.
