President Trump - Page 299 - Politics version 7.0 -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

He's often quick to criticize Trump, which has somehow unfortunately managed to convince some liberals and independents that he's on their side, despite the fact that he's one of the most far-right nuts out there.

Having a conscience-based response to whatever trump did is something republicans can do or pretend to do, but they only maintain such showings of concern in a short term frame. Where did the republicans' long-term memories about trump go?

Michael Flynn, who is Michael Flynn? Donald Trump barely knows Michael Flynn, certainly never did anything like attempt to obstruct justice on his behalf. Donald Trump has nothing to do with Michael Flynn, yawn, another nothingburger from the far left Wall Street Journal.

Trump and his team are a joke around the world

What? Does Merkel's party normally fade people out when they talk too long, even a Secretary? I think you're implying this is out of the ordinary. I don't know if that's true.

But, even if true, it wouldn't be very interesting, imho. The interesting thing is what Secretary Ross was discussing.

From the article you cited:

“As your biggest customer, we hope to obtain a larger share of your market,” he said. “We, as major trading partners of each other, should have a free-trade agreement.”

After organizers cut Ross off during a call to counteract dumping in international trade, Merkel rejected his criticism of Germany’s surplus. She argued that direct investment to the U.S. by German companies should also be considered.

Germany’s Economy Ministry later weighed in to the debate, saying Ross’s criticism “contained nothing new” and dismissing a report he is compiling on the potential risks to the U.S. of steel imports -- a document that Germany fears could have grave consequences for its own steel industry.

“We have absolutely no ground to believe that German steel exports to the U.S. pose a threat to the country’s security,” ministry spokeswoman Tanja Alemany told reporters in Berlin on Wednesday. “Trade is not something where the one side wins and the other side loses.”

Endquote.

To me, the interesting question is what is Trump trying to accomplish and is he making traction. It appears to me (1) he is trying to improve conditions for steel business in the U.S., (2) but I don't know whether he is succeeding.

I don't know much about this, but thanks for the article. This is what I find interesting about it.

Republicans target all sorts of Americans. Why can't republicans stop themselves? Are they lost, over their heads in a challenging world, and in need of help? Just resign republicans, go do something else other than lord over people with your vain misery. Geez. Y'all GOP suck so bad you're hard to make funny.

Grunching, but, is wil saying male Asians aren't represented in the male NBA because they get pregnant and have children?

It would be the equivalent of me saying Asians are underrepresented in the NBA, and then suggesting we find ways to equal that out. The argument is absurd. The problem is many leftist arguments are exactly like that, except reversed.

I repeatedly correct your false claims because you persist in making false claims, and I find it irritating enough to be worth responding to.

Ehh. Not really, dude. You can argue the Detroit Pistons didn't deserve to win those two championships and back it up by saying the league changed the rules afterwards, but they still own the trophies.

Winning is winning.

Rush Limbaugh is hilarious, especially when he uses that whiny, semi gay sounding voice to imitate liberals.

Imagine those people are crying about some random football player kneeling during the nation anthem if you're having trouble with empathy.

In the midst of the 2016 campaign, a veteran GOP opposition researcher who said he had ties to ousted national security adviser Michael Flynn contacted hackers hoping to obtain emails that he believed Russian operatives had hacked from Hillary Clinton’s personal server, the Wall Street Journal reported Thursday.

Peter W. Smith reached out to computer security experts in the hopes of gaining access to the email trove and explicitly outlined his connection with Flynn in his recruiting emails, according to the report.

Smith, who died at the age of 81 just 10 days after the Journal interviewed him, told the newspaper that he never explicitly said that Flynn was involved with the project. Flynn and the White House did not respond to the Journal’s request for comment, and a Trump campaign representative said Smith had no involvement in the campaign.

Trump Body Count?

Maybe Trump had Seth Rich killed so he could be blamed for the Russian hack.

Things are really starting to fall into place.
