Has anyone brought up the woman who scaled the Statue of Liberty on July 4 to protest the Child taking? At all? If not, am I the only one who thinks that's weird?
A fight for economic supremacy....that's Donny's war....
•What we're witnessing is the clash of two geopolitical giants, a clash between "America First" and "Made in China."
•Will the United States remain the measure of all things like it has been over the past 150 years, and will the American way of life remain modernity's gold standard? Or will China be back as the strongest economic power, with Beijing believing that's the way it should be? For centuries on end, until less than 200 years ago, China was indeed way ahead of the rest economically.
•G7? G20? G2!........................
•US President Donald Trump has never concealed his "America First" ambitions. Everything else has been of secondary importance to him and may only be a means to support his main goal — to pursue US interests. And for Trump, there's only one adversary standing in the way: China. All other nations are small fish in this geopolitical battle. It doesn't matter to him whether or not G7, G8 or G20 heads of state and government meet for summits that get a lot of media attention. For Trump, it's always been just G2 — the US and China.
•From trade war to currency war
•It's not by chance but a very logical thing economically that the Chinese currency, the yuan or renminbi, has lost 7 percent of its value against the dollar within only a couple of weeks. Devaluation is a mighty protectionist tool as it renders punitive tariffs virtually harmless. The yuan's recent depreciation is nothing less than an import tariff of 7 percent across the board, not just a retaliatory tariff on selected US goods.
•Chinese products there are now 7 percent cheaper. Again, using depreciation means offsetting the impact of Trump's punitive duties.
I remain crestfallen that the devastatingly well-read alpha-intellect Christopher Hitchens is no longer here to verbally eviscerate der Drumpfenfuhrer and his servile shills.
My era! I so had the hots for Robert Palmer. Riptide was one of my favorite albums.
Okay. Farmers vote for Trump. Trump bankrupts farmers. We bail out farmers. I think not...

Last I heard he wasn't even going to be in London. I hope the protestors and the balloon handlers are mobile.

I pretty much watched Hercules for Iolaus and Ares. The best episodes were the ones where Sorbo was in a snit and had to be written out.
