Do you know what happens to prices (that consumers pay) when widgets get produced more cheaply (or more expensively)?

Throw back to a few weeks ago. This is where USA#1 thinking frequently hurts the American public.

It's like you literally can't imagine how anybody could possibly not want the obviously superior American products.

Which is an interesting view to hold when you're simultaneously talking about these American companies that are quite happy to move production outside of the US to build products to sell back to American consumers.

I do make phones. Trust me when I say that we don't need phone manufacturing in the US any more than we need basket weavers.

Prediction: I think Trump will actually concede fairly graciously and call the elections fair.

For one thing a blowout is very hard to claim rigged. For another I think above all to him this is just a game/business. He's using every lever at his disposal to somehow try to win. But when it's over he'll want to be loved again by the international community. It won't work, but he'll try.

This is the thing. We're not taking you to the 10th power. It's like the second-****ing power at most. It's just basic economics. And instead of just shrugging and saying "HOW CAN I KNOW???" you should realize that the things involved aren't really complicated and lots of people DO know. And those people will explain to you what will happen.

But you don't want to hear that. You just want to sit in your bubble of "Oh, I know it will happen some how. Trump says!"

Man if there were ever a graph about the Righteous Right not actually being about morality

Trump has convinced the Religious Right to stop judging people. Progress!

However allowing your husband to commit and immoral act is still unforgivable. Boys will be boys in the locker room. Women have a solemn duty to act as moral police and keep their men in check.

I don't think it's USA#1 thinking, it's that it's possible to build up a moderate company completely within the US so "buy US" is actually a (semi) legitimate option. Small European countries might have a lot of nationalism but when they're so small they can't depend on a local market and by necessity have to export/import to even really get off the ground then they are much more open to trading.

Podesta was just on CNN squirming over the e-mail in which he called Sanders a "doofus." Horrible answer. He won't confirm he said it, but he'll discuss how he was frustrated with Bernie at that time over a policy point.

Right answer was: "I've probably called him worse than that to his face! (laughs) Look, some things are said in the heat of battle, but as Democrats we've all come together to keep Donald Trump out of the White House and I have great respect for Bernie Sanders and he's been a great asset to the Clinton campaign, and he'll be someone we look to for great leadership in the Senate when we win."

Minimizing is way better than avoiding!

To be very clear, this means you're at best indifferent to the bigotry that's a core part of his campaign, which makes you a garbage person and somebody who actively opposed a decent and functional society.

Wasn't his point that other countries wouldn't slap tariffs on American products because their consumers really want that American quality?

If so, that has nothing to do with being able to build up an American company inside of the US.

and this is standard republican philosophy!

I want to reiterate again how ****ing unbelievable it is that Trump's economic policy proposals run directly counter to republican beliefs, and liberals attack him on it from the right

your delusion is noted

Just to be clear, the quoted isn't "standard republican philosophy". It's just basic economic principles.

The Left/Right debate is more about the consequences/trade-offs related to this fact. Because its not inherently good/bad to have tariffs or not. There'll always be some winners and some losers.

I am on "doofus" comment now, I paused the dvr..yeah i mean he looked unprepared. i feel for the guy, he had his private work **** stolen.

Bottom line, Bernie is working hard for Hill down the stretch. Hacked emails aren't revealing much of anything so far.

This bull**** "I like Trump because he's going to DISRUPT THE SYSTEM" without noticing that he comes with racism.exe pre-installed the height of White Privilege/Ignorance.

Next time try running some****ingempathy.bat

Puzzle, you could bring up how hardcore Hilary supporters are in favor of open borders, free trade, and minimum wage increases when these policies could not possibly coexist.

Totally disagree. Assuming he's really going into the Trump TV business, he wants to keep the far right riled up into infinity.

The rats are abandoning ship.

US military claiming ISIS leaders fleeing Mosul. Be great if the humanitarian costs can be at least minimized as the big fear is some disaster with like a million civilians trapped or refugees.

good site here http://isis.liveuamap.com

I think he'll try to have it both ways. He doesn't want to make enemies out of pretty much every powerful person/entity in govt and business. He will be run out of town.

The fastest way to get a Trump supporter to leave - talk policy.

From chiefsplanet, he didn't provide a link, sounds like good news though:

ISIS executed 58 people in Mosul suspected of belonging to the resistance group M a few days back. If you believe ISIS they found weapons caches in 3 homes. The timing coinciding with the outside forces approaching makes me a bit skeptical.

It seems there are just a few more villages to take before Mosul.

Dabiq was taken in Syria Sunday. They named their online magazine after the town name. I believe in the Hadith's it's where all the non Muslims die or convert.. something like that
