I also hopes she recovers, and retires.

WASHINGTON, Aug 23 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump said on Friday he was ordering U.S. companies to look at ways to close their operations in China and make more of their products in the United States instead, a rhetorical strike at Beijing as trade tensions mounted.
Trump cannot legally compel U.S. companies to abandon China immediately and he gave no detail on how he might proceed with any such order, although he said he would be offering a response later on Friday to tariffs on American products announced by China earlier in the day.
And in a post-Red Flag Law environment, that would have been sufficient for a judge to say you are unsafe and come and confiscate your guns.
I bet the farm I can see from my front yard, and the smell of cow shit on hot summer days, will be gone in 20 years and replaced with subdivisions.
I live 30 miles north of Milwaukee; one of the poorest, most violent, racially segregated, liberal cities in the country. The county I live in is very conservative, relatively free from major crimes (unless it is a Milwaukee transplant causing problems), and is the richest county in Wisconsin. Coincidence? I think not.
Seems like most of the country outside of large cities is very conservative. That's why the electoral college is so important.
Why should you have to point out the obvious to them? People really seem to believe companies will take the higher tax out of the CEO’s salary or stockholder dividends, and not raise prices to pay for it. I have a hard time wrapping my head around people being too dumb to figure this out on their own.
Once again, I agree with Trump, but have a problem with his methods. If I were a Greenlander, I would have been pissed off at him too. If there were ever a real chance of this happening, I could think of several ways to make it go down easier.
Fifty years ago, when I was a teenager, my older cousin married a sizzling hot babe. Nobody understood how he managed that, or why she married him. She appeared to be an angel on earth. After they got married and the family got to know her, they saw she was an incredible fake. She became controlling, mean and abusive. It would come out occasionally at first at family gatherings, but over time it got worse, but she was still able to fool people that weren't close to her or the family. Suddenly, seemingly out of the blue, we found out she was suing for divorce claiming HE was abusive and cheating on her. I said "seemingly" because we all expected the divorce; we just expected that he would be the one to ask. She got the divorce, the house, the car (families only had one car back then) and just about everything else. Thank God there were no kids, even though he always wanted some. He took it really hard and became a reclusive alcoholic and died a few years later at 40ish. Several years later we found out that she repeated the scenario with another poor sucker. I never heard any more about her after that. I imagine her as an old hag still thinking of herself as hot and furious because she has nobody. That's the only punishment she would ever see, unless you believe in Hell.
Wow. Isn’t that blackmail? Extortion? Defamation? That they are encouraging their clients to do? Those lawyers need to be disbarred.
