You kidding? The GOP establishment hates Trump as much as you do. Koch brothers came within an ace of endorsing Hillary and a lot of others went ahead and did it. The only reason they're pretending to go along is votes. Imagine, the people, wielding political power and forcing politicians to represent their desires in government. It's enough to bring a tear to the eye of Thomas Jefferson. Democracy in action! Unless you're saying people shouldn't have a voice in government, which is pure fascism.
So, no arguments then. At least you changed from whataboutism to ad hominem attack. At no point did you address the substance of what I said, which is what makes me think I'm arguing with a bot. Good day, Ivan.
That wasn't withdrawal you experienced, Grandpa. That was an allergic reaction. Withdrawal is a tremendous craving. As if you're thirsty in the desert, but instead of water you need opiates. Moreover you have to use the drug for a period of time before you get physically addicted. You took it once? Jeez louise, Grandpa.
Why would a future US government *not* want to keep jobs here in our own country? Isn't the entire point of having a government in the first place to give our own people an advantage? To take care of our own?
If tariffs are so horrible, how is it that China, Japan, Germany (more with non-tariff barriers there) and so many other countries have done fantastically well by using them?
Buy American, hire American. This is what the US government *should* be doing. Why have they been falling down on the job for the past 40 years?
Plus, think of the harm being done to our greatest competitor, China. Without our gargantuan market to dump their cheap junk on, they'll have severe problems at home. They'll be less available to interfere with our plans for global domination.
Trump isn't a Republican. He was a pro-abortion Democrat for ages. He's an outsider who hijacked the GOP nomination that rightfully belonged to Jabe Bush.
The Democrats, when faced with another outsider who tried to hijack their nomination, wisely rigged their own election to prevent this disastrous outcome. They then argued - and won - in court when they said voting didn't matter as they were a private organization who could do as they liked.
It's funny how everyone says tariffs are so horrid and awful, and yet China, Japan, Germany (more with non-tariff barriers there) and so many other countries all over the world use tariffs and they work spectacularly well for their economies. China went from third-world shithole to amazing country in 30 years by keeping tariffs high. Every product imported to China endures a 17% tax plus an additional tax depending on the class of good. Plus customs hassle, storage fees, etc. Chinese exports to America suffer no such problems and it works great - for the Chinese.
Perhaps they'll have to open one. That's the entire point of these policies. Buy American and hire American. The proper role of the US government is to give our people an advantage. Not to make horrible deal after horrible deal and put our people out of work and empower a vile communist country.
How is it that people who aren't Christians think they get to tell Christians - people they hate - how to behave? Do misogynists get to tell feminists how to behave?
You neither addressed nor refuted anything I said. Democrats shitting in the mouths of the American people and calling us stupid is not going to work. It sure makes you feel good, though, doesn't it?
Negative. The ACLU sued to have the asylums shut down on the basis that incarcerating people who committed no crime was immoral. They won. Reagan closed the doors on the now-empty facilities. And somehow got the blame for setting people free who were innocent. As long as they could lift spoon to mouth to feed themselves, they were good to go according to the ACLU.
Yes, it happened because the Left considers the American people stupid and wishes to harm them. Apparently you learned nothing from the experience. Sneering contempt is not how to win people over to your side. I also note the TDS in a thread about cryptography.
So Apple buyers will be proud to contribute to a worthy cause, the US government? I'm not sure if I understand your point. They can well afford it, and anyway local sales taxes always make the final total a weird number.
Products were already being made overseas. Tariffs make our own domestic industries viable. Without a gargantuan market to dump their low quality products on, China is screwed. Why didn't we do this 30 years ago? After the Tiananmen Square Massacre? Why did we let them rip off our technology, put our working class out of work, and become a global competitor that we will regret creating long after 2024?
You mean we're horrible people, like Senator John McCain who voted for the Iraq War? How many Iraqis suffered? Did they ever find any WMD in Iraq? Spoiler alert: they didn't.
If only Silicon Valley hadn't proved this by rampant political bias, censorship, and heavily penalizing conservative websites in search results.
People who buy Apple products aren't sensitive to price. They can easily afford another a few extra bucks for their next purchase. Especially as that money will be going to the US government to be used for worthy causes like Medicaid and liberating Arab countries from oppression (the McCain doctrine).
1. All men are rapists. 2. Being falsely accused of rape is common in educational environments. Accused lack protections such as being informed of the charges against him, the ability to confront the accuser, and right to legal representation during trial. Men are fools to treat women with anything but wariness.
Because a 15 minute walk really gets dull and tedious after a while. Walking past the same shitty shops, waiting on the same goddamned traffic lights, trying not to get hit by drivers who don't pay attention...it gets old. It has the effect of making you stay home instead of do that damn walk again.
Which is just one of the many things that sucks about public transportation.
No city I've ever lived in has subways that run after midnight, or honestly 11pm is the last time you can realistically get to where you're going because of transfers. If you're going to bash places as "not modern societies" then that really gets into bigotry and I don't know if that was your intention or not, but it puts you in company with some really ugly people. Or maybe you are one of them and you're just dog whistling.
Jonathan Haidt's experiments ask liberals and conservatives to fill out questionnaires about their values, then to predict how someone from the opposite tribe would fill out the questionnaire. He finds that conservatives are able to predict liberals' answers just fine and seem to have a pretty good understanding of their worldviews, but that liberals have *no idea* how conservatives think or what they value.

Then maybe we need to start new American providers? Thus creating good lives for our people, and a secure source of steel for generations to come? Seriously, can people not see second-order consequences? A tremendous demand has just been created for American-made steel. Is this not what the US government is supposed to do? Give us an advantage and take care of our own?
He's used to being the boss and this is how he talks. It's how any executive talks. He didn't say "I am the state," that is you using an absurd absolute, a logical fallacy. Remember when he moved the US embassy to Jerusalem? (Worst Hitler ever!) He said "This has long been an issue and I am now taking it off the table. Now we can make progress." Same deal.
This also feeds into the advantage of being seen as erratic or unpredictable. Instead of us worrying about what they're going to do, now they're worrying about what we're going to do. Why wasn't it this way the whole time? The USA holds an overwhelmingly good hand internationally. Why did we let China rip us off on trade for decades without doing anything about it? Now they're a huge problem that will vex us long after Trump leaves office. At least he's trying to do something, Obama and Bu$shitler just sat and watched them leapfrog their tech levels and ruin the lives of our working class that depended on manufacturing jobs.
You're using the guilty by association fallacy. Hitler was a vegetarian, ergo all vegetarians are Nazis. See, I can do it too.
Globalism means one world government. Are people seriously in favor of this? It's a tyranny, one that would be inescapable. McCain was a globalist, not a patriot. A patriot would want us to continue ruling ourselves, not to try to expand our empire by endless war against countries that have done nothing to us. We can best serve the world by building ourselves as an example to follow, instead of a cruel empire that seeks to dominate by force.
We have 3 big problems: 1) our trade policy has
decimated our manufacturing base, leaving millions of Americans economically
stranded; 2) our defense policy has engaged us in conflicts around the globe that in
many cases have actually made the United States less secure. and have added
considerably to our bloated national debt; and 3) in 1986, Ronald Reagan granted
amnesty to approximately 3 million illegal immigrants on the condition that our
borders would be secured and illegal immigration would be dramatically curtailed.
Since that time, at least 11 million (and likely many more) illegal aliens have entered
the United States, effectively suppressing wages for many working Americans, and
adding tremendously to the cost of our education and public assistance programs.
Russia didn't destabilize the Middle East, Russia didn't overthrow Gaddafi, Russia didn't arm and train Jihadists in Syria like al-Nusra, Russia didn't create the refugee crisis. Globalists like McCain did.
What do you do when you want to go home after 11pm? Subway's closed. Buses stop. A $50 cab ride?
What if you're not rich and can't afford an apartment next to the subway station? It's a 15 minute walk each way, every day: in the rain, in the snow, in the baking heat. Then you get to stand up in a crowded car because all the seats are taken. To say nothing of traveling with stinky people who may vomit on you.

You had an allergic reaction. Has nothing to do with "personal responsibility." And making moral equivalence with a slashdot commenter? WTF Grandpa?

It's not cherry picking. Studies have confirmed that when faced with questions such as "One of the worst things a person could do is hurt a defenseless animal" or "Justice is the most important requirement for a society," liberals assumed that conservatives would disagree.
Jonathan Haidt's experiments ask liberals and conservatives to fill out questionnaires about their values, then to predict how someone from the opposite tribe would fill out the questionnaire. He finds that conservatives are able to predict liberals' answers just fine and seem to have a pretty good understanding of their worldviews, but that liberals have *no idea* how conservatives think or what they value. http://www.aei.org/publication/liberals-or-conservatives-whos-really-close-minded/
Smugness has alienated the left from much of the public, and handicapped leftists' ability to truly understand what drives people on the right. One of Haidt's most telling discoveries was that conservatives tend to be curious about what liberals think and why, while liberals see conservatives as inferior "other," alien and inherently incapable of thought.
