How do you solve the net zero immigration problem? Cut meals on wheels dumb libtard duh. Walls don't build themselves.

In life, the bolded is certainly right, but in the context of this argument, it's irrelevant.

It's almost like their primary problem with Hillary wasn't anything to do with integrity or handling of classified information, but something entirely different. If integrity mattered to these people, they would have been calling for Sessions to resign weeks ago.

Thanks. I could see that being a very long term effect, but it's hard to imagine any significant impacts in the next 5-10 years. Seems like you would need to
1. Project significant demand increases beyond what your current industrial capacity can handle;
2. Project that regulations won't be changed back to a more exacting standard; and
3. Have the capital available to build a new plant.

It seems like that would all conspire to leave US production levels pretty much where they ate now.

Sorry if that was garbled and/or objectively dumb. I know next to nothing about manufacturing, automobile or otherwise.

Sexism is a huge part of it, but it's deeper than that too. The Republican party and most of its voting base view ethics as a political tool, not a real thing that actually matters in government. They have been using Congressional investigations as a thinly veiled political tool for years, and now they are directly endangering our national security by refusing to hold real investigations into the Trump-Russia connection. They really have a Machiavellian view of their own goals in politics, and they don't see democracy as an important limiting factor. If they can get around the popular will of the people by gerrymandering (election theft), the Electoral College, disenfranchisement through voter suppression, strict voter ID laws, and even mass imprisonment of the opposition, that's just as good as having actually popular ideas. In fact it's even better for them because it lets them implement their ideologically pure bull**** whether it's popular or not (it's not.)

This kind of subversion of ethics and the norms of democracy in general in favor of political goals is a mainstay feature of authoritarianism and fascism. The Republican party is truly becoming deeply fascist in a way that is very damaging to our longterm health as a democracy.

There's ~0% chance Trump owns all his real estate deals through a C corp. Why on earth would he do that?

You think with modern media/tv and social media that they've got a chance to pull it off? I think the kind of controls they'll need to have any sort of lasting impact are things they won't be able to get away with. Particularly thanks to the 1st two amendments.

I don't know if they will. I do think it's possible.

I think now is a good time to revisit Steve Bannon's views as a self-described Leninist, in light of this new proposed budget:

I wanna go on record. I believe the IC has transcripts of TRUMP talking to Russians directly.

Who really needs science anyway?

re: budget.

this is truly hitler-esque

just saw a pretty sweet post on facebook-

The thing is that car factories can be retooled a lot more easily than in the past, and you can increase capacity a lot by adding second/third shifts.

In addition, cars on a global level tend to be produced as close as possible to where they're consumed. The big market for SUVs and pickup trucks is the US, which is why many of our vehicle exports are of these product types (VW, Mercedes, BMW, etc). Smaller cars are consumed in large numbers everywhere, which means they tend to be imported. So we'll see on the margin a boost of production/jobs in SUV production in all likelihood, and a decrease in imports of smaller cars which often are sold at or near a loss in the US to improve CAFE performance. The SUVs will lower in price, and the smaller cars will increase in price.

Regarding industrial capacity, the auto industry is awash with excess capacity right now and more is coming online, so the question is one of which factories will be adding shifts and which will be eliminating them.

On balance I see CAFE standards as having a negative impact on American production.

Except authoritarian rule is a norm in Russia, norms of democracy had not even really got started yet, + their institutions were either embryonic or in the toilet anyway.

It's shockingly Hitler-esque, the next step is handing out fun badges that identify what health risks you have.

not ******s who live in red states and believe in Jesus


edit: not a shot at you, its a shot a ******s that live in red states that voted for Trump

mike pence thinks science is a scam by the godless on the godly, to tempt them away from scripture

When politicians release tax returns, is it generally just the 1040 or additional schedules as well? Seems like Sch Cs and Es etc could be interesting.

Huge cuts to NIH, an agency that Republicans usually like to fund the heck out of.

and immediately trumptards go full boycott. I wish @Oxygen would tweet a Trump insult.

States should pass laws denying ballot access to POTUS candidates who refuse to release their tax returns.
