Man, we're just settling scores left and right out here with fellow posters, aren't we?![]()
I'll admit, I may be overly biased against Bob--my first ever interaction with him was not good to say the least. I pointed out that he was demonstrably wrong about something he had just asserted. He rebutted with, essentially, "exception that proves the rule" and declared me a troll for having mentioned it. He actually then went on to spend the next couple posts pleading with you to join him in declaring me a troll. You declined (much obliged).
Is Bob still boinking Jan Brewer?
US President Donald Trump complained bitterly about the German trade surplus on his meeting with the EU top in Brussels. "The Germans are evil, very evil," said Trump. This was learned by the SPIEGEL from participants in the meeting.
Trump said, "Look at the millions of cars they sell in the US, and we'll stop that."
At the meeting, EU Commissioner Jean-Claude Juncker took the side of the Germans and disagreed with Trumps Schelte. Free trade is a good thing for all, said the Commissioner. Juncker had tried a friendly tone, but was hard on the matter, says the participants.
According to a report from the "Süddeutsche Zeitung", the EU side was horrified at the extent of the Americans' lack of awareness of trade policy. Apparently, it was unclear to the guests that the EU countries concluded trade agreements only jointly.
Germany has been exporting more than it has introduced for years. Trump had already made the German surplus on the subject earlier, and the President had already expressed his critical opinion in an interview with the Bild newspaper. "I would say to BMW if they want to build a factory in Mexico and sell cars to the US without a 35 percent tax, they can forget that" Trump said at the time.
I always wondered what it would take to knock the US out of first.
Sigh... listening to some of the interviews from Montana.
"It's all just a bunch of baloney. It probably didn't even happen."
"That reporter went outside of his bounds."
"Who among us doesn't have a charge or two of misdemeanor assault?"
Did you miss the woman who said she didn't believe it happened? That one stunned me.

Yeah, that's the first one.
I mean, if you want to say you just don't care, say that. Don't make up BS about how it didn't happen, why the reporter deserved it, or that everyone commits assault.
Carrier, the company President Trump pledged to keep on American soil, informed the state of Indiana this week that it will soon begin cutting 632 workers from an Indianapolis factory. The manufacturing jobs will move to Monterrey, Mexico, where the minimum wage is $3.90 per day.
That was never supposed to happen, according to Trump's campaign promises. He told Indiana residents at a rally last year there was a "100 percent chance” he would save the jobs at the heating and air-conditioning manufacturer.
