The only thing I’d add to this is that there were rumblings that one reason China backed out of its trade agreement with the US at the last minute (prompting the latest round of tariff escalation) is because China may think our economy is weakening, and maybe they can wait us out. Whether that’s true or not, more/new tariffs with Mexico will only add to that thought. Also, it is better to unify our economy with our existing trading partners against China rather than push current partners away and force other options upon countries like Mexico to do business. Truthfully, though, it is too early to tell whether re-organizing supply chains will be permanent and beneficial or harmful to us or any other country in the long run.

I was just thinking about this. I love a good peanut butter and honey sandwich on wheat. Must be a triple decker though. That way the honey doesn't ooze through the bread. Edit: that's not my go-to to cook.

So he's driving a $2million clown car?

Nobody should wear an outfit like that while driving a car like that.

Asenine reason.

Was Merkel invited there to represent the good people on the other side?

Well, they would've been there if it weren't raining, and not a Tuesday. So the reporting is close enough for me.

According to this article, Bennett became the 20th candidate to qualify for the June debates. Alas, no deBlasio yet. There's still a little time for him to squeak in. https://www.politico.com/story/2019/06/04/michael-bennet-polling-criteria-2020-debates-1352729

My sister (lives in WNY) knits and she went to a yarn shop in Scottsdale. She saw someone she knows there. See what I’m doing?

Leave them alone, I say. If people don’t know what they’re getting into by this time, that’s their own fault. Off the top of my head maybe the best example is how big tobacco was treated. People still smoke. Maybe the FTC should go through the process to shed sunlight on their operations a bit, but that’s about it. Even then, that’s going pretty far.

Awful. But I understand you were responding to a lady. Could’ve gone in a few unseemly directions there.

Reservoir levels when Obama was President. https://www.theatlantic.com/photo/2014/09/dramatic-photos-of-californias-historic-drought/100804/

At BEST, that’s a completely disingenuous use of […] when reporting someone’s words. That’s the kind of crap that pisses off judges, and rightly so.

We who are not President Trump are all 1000% innocent unless someone can prove otherwise. Mueller said so himself.

How do you get a 2 minute slashing penalty for hitting someone’s stick with your own? What a bad call.

Buncha sleazeballs in nice suits.

That wasn’t his intent. So please stop with this.

Maybe they’ve got the old ice boom timbers laying around. They were 30 feet long each. They were used for just over 25 years, and they’ve been out of use for almost 25. https://www.ijc.org/en/all-about-lake-erie-niagara-river-ice-boom-0

Jim Comey is a Putin puppet.

Thank you Jim Comey!

No. Not in the least. Kim lies and is duplicitous, like his father and his grandfather. I don't care who Kim mocks. It doesn't mean that he wants Trump to win. It doesn't mean anything. Oh boy! I'm looking forward to that working so well. After two years, you haven't figured out how Trump works.

So when Biden wins in 2020, how will he deal with NKorea in a way that's different than Trump? Will he go to war? Is that what you want the President to do? I'm sure that some time during his decades in the Senate and 8 years as VP, Biden has come up with the working formula. He just hasn't had the right opportunity to present it, yeah? Oh yeah, China's a ***** bed of roses thanks to their benevolent dictators. According to China, Bolton's move is deplorable ? .

Please God can they retire Hotel California already? Skynard gets three in the top 20 but no Allman Bros, no Beatles, not Dylan and the Stones come in with Satisfaction.

Not too bad on Long Island this year — though maybe because we has a lot of rain. All the trees have their leaves. I’d expect the worst of it is done.

How low have you sunk, man?!?!
