Based on 2019 import levels, U.S. and retaliatory tariffs currently impact over $460 billion of imports and exports, and President Trump’s tariffs are increasing annual consumer costs by roughly $57 billion annually.

Bill, you might find it interesting that there was talk today on the local CBS radio station that if Trump looses the election he will pardon himself, before he leaves office, for any crimes that he committed while in office or before he was elected. The professor that was interviewed was saying that he didn't know of any provision in the Constitution that would prevent such action. That ought to give the Supreme Court something to think about.

Thats would add insult to injury,,,,,,,, Supreme court would be shooting themselves in the foot,,,,, Full blown Banana Republic if that fly's,,!!
One of my friends said that even if he pardons himself of federal crimes, Trump would still chased all over the country by county DAs and State Attorneys Generals. But of course, he would be spending a lot of time fighting those state crimes in court before ever seeing the inside of a jail and since he will be seeing his name in the news all the time during those years, he might not mind all that much spending time giving testimony in court. And if things get too hot he can always move to Russia. Probably not China, though. And then there is always North Korea. I hear they really know how to cut hair there.

Thats why he & his pals are doing everything in there power, legal or otherwise to win this election,,.

There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that " my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."- Isaac Asimov
Will the fly be back for Thursday's debate? I suspect that there will be a lot people hoping it will.

Trump cant even handle an interview unless its staged by Fox News actors,,!!
Trump abruptly ends '60 Minutes' interview, cant take the heat,,!!
(CNN)President Donald Trump abruptly ended a solo interview with CBS News' "60 Minutes" Tuesday and did not return for an appearance he was supposed to tape with Vice President Mike Pence, according to multiple sources familiar with what happened.
After camera crews set up at the White House on Monday, Trump sat down with host Lesley Stahl for about 45 minutes on Tuesday before he abruptly ended the interview and told the network he believed they had enough material to use, according to two sources.
I saw Rudy Giuliani claim the "election" was within Trump's hand, however Rudy had his own hand down his pants again so maybe with his speech impediment "election" was mispronounced.
Whilst playing 500, Joe Biden bidded, 'No Trumps' and he just about slammed them.

Since you're now responding here Chris, I'll ask. You appear to still be supporting this wretched lying narcissist who values mammon & personal power far more than anything else save his cult followers unwavering adoration, the one who the other shameless 'publicans continue to support, despite the absolutely anti-patriotic vitriole about having the election stolen from him thru voter fraud. The only possible explanation I have for this stance is that you appear to be okay w/ the end justifying the means. Which end? The China Trade Tariff War? More US-Mexico Wall? Big tax breaks which have had almost zero impact on US business & hiring after a brief blip upwards? Or maybe separating children from parents at the border, some 666 which to date have been rejoined? Whatever you do for the least of these eh? Oh, not really. Or perhaps you're fearful Biden/Harris are going to come take your guns, and then turn the US into another Venezuela, like Obama tried to do (ahem...)? In the end, do you really believe the country now, both domestically and internationally, is better off than in 2016?
You have the floor Chris and a few peoples' attention as to what makes you tick. I've revealed how I think, feel free to do the same. For me, this administration, virtually the entire administration, is so corrupt and anti-democratic it's very hard to make the case for supporting them and considering yourself 'patriotic' beyond the patriotism required to support what amounts to a fledgling dictatorship, where all his followers don't dare challenge him despite the fact he's wearing no clothes. It's surreal and this is why you saw jubilant people so relieved to see Biden win now by over 5M votes.
"Trump supporters say, 'We suffered 8 years under Barack Obama.'
Fair enough. Let’s take a look.
The day Obama took office, the Dow closed at 7,949 points. Eight years later, the Dow had almost tripled.
General Motors and Chrysler were on the brink of bankruptcy, with Ford not far behind, and their failure, along with their supply chains, would have meant the loss of millions of jobs. Obama pushed through a controversial, $80 billion bailout to save the car industry. The U.S. car industry survived, started making money again, and the entire $80 billion was paid back, with interest.
While we remain vulnerable to lone-wolf attacks, no foreign terrorist organization has successfully executed a mass attack here since 9/11.
Obama ordered the raid that killed Osama Bin Laden.
He drew down the number of troops from 180,000 in Iraq and Afghanistan to just 15,000, and increased funding for the Department of Veterans Affairs.
He launched a program called Opening Doors which, since 2010, has led to a 47 percent decline in the number of homeless veterans. He set a record 73 straight months of private-sector job growth.
Due to Obama’s regulatory policies, greenhouse gas emissions decreased by 12%, production of renewable energy more than doubled, and our dependence on foreign oil was cut in half.
He signed The Lilly Ledbetter Act, making it easier for women to sue employers for unequal pay.
His Omnibus Public Lands Management Act designated more than 2 million acres as wilderness, creating thousands of miles of trails and protecting over 1,000 miles of rivers.
He reduced the federal deficit from 9.8 percent of GDP in 2009 to 3.2 percent in 2016.
For all the inadequacies of the Affordable Care Act, we seem to have forgotten that, before the ACA, you could be denied coverage for a pre-existing condition and kids could not stay on their parents’ policies up to age 26.
Obama approved a $14.5 billion system to rebuild the levees in New Orleans.
All this, even as our own Mitch McConnell famously asserted that his singular mission would be to block anything President Obama tried to do.
While Obama failed on his campaign pledge to close the prison at Guantanamo Bay, that prison’s population decreased from 242 to around 50.
He expanded funding for embryonic stem cell research, supporting ground breaking advancement in areas like spinal injury treatment and cancer.
Credit card companies can no longer charge hidden fees or raise interest rates without advance notice.
Most years, Obama threw a 4th of July party for military families. He held babies, played games with children, served barbecue, and led the singing of “Happy Birthday” to his daughter Malia, who was born on July 4.
Welfare spending is down: for every 100 poor families, just 24 receive cash assistance, compared with 64 in 1996.
Obama comforted families and communities following more than a dozen mass shootings. After Sandy Hook, he said, “The majority of those who died today were children, beautiful little kids between the ages of 5 and 10 years old.”
Yet,
he never took away
anyone’s guns........
He sang Amazing Grace, spontaneously, at the altar.
He was the first president since Eisenhower to serve two terms without personal or political scandal.
He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
President Obama was not perfect, as no man and no president is, and you can certainly disagree with his political ideologies. But to say we suffered?
If that’s the argument, if this is how we suffered for 8 years under Barack Obama, I have one wish:
may we be so fortunate as to suffer 8 more."
“He’s (Biden) following the radical left agenda, take away your guns, destroy your second amendment, no religion, no anything, hurt the Bible, hurt God … He’s against God,” President Donald Trump told supporters during a recent trip to Ohio." More lies told over and over, more inflammatory food for his followers. And
"I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters, OK?" Trump remarked at a campaign stop at Dordt College in Sioux Center, Iowa. "It's, like, incredible."
He is the Master isn't he? Adolf was real good at let's Make Germany Great Again rallying too. It's remarkable when you confer this much power on single individuals of this moral character how much horror can ensue on a worldwide scale. It matters a whole lot, IOW. Thankfully Trump is nowhere near as skilled and dedicated to evil aspirations as Hitler was, he is just in it for the self-agrandizement and to pander to a select group of people who will work to keep him in power.
What part of the Obama legacy did you dislike Chris? Oh let me guess, he changed his stance to one of tolerance on gay marriage, what that it? Let's see, who do you think JC would support more, Barrack or Donald? Not sure? Really? God help the USA we need all the help we can find right now.
God help America there are ample just like this psychotic zealot w/ his not so cryptic reference to the Civil War--grand nourishment for the Proud Boys, Oath Keepers and other gun nuts just waiting for an opportunity to do mayhem under the auspices of patriotism. God help America we need all the help we can muster right now.
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said Monday that he has come under increasing pressure in recent days from fellow Republicans, including Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (S.C.), who he said questioned the validity of legally cast absentee ballots, in an effort to reverse President Trump’s narrow loss in the state.
In a wide-ranging interview about the election, Raffensperger expressed exasperation over a string of baseless allegations coming from Trump and his allies about the integrity of the Georgia results, including claims that Dominion Voting Systems, the Colorado-based manufacturer of Georgia’s voting machines, is a “leftist” company with ties to Venezuela that engineered thousands of Trump votes to be left out of the count. (<<< more SICK paranoia from the right)
The atmosphere has grown so contentious, Raffensperger said, that he and his wife, Tricia, have received death threats in recent days, including a text to him that read: “You better not botch this recount. Your life depends on it.”
And now our toxic president is showing exactly who he is for all to see but the willingly deluded--willing to throw in our entire history of honoring the popular vote through an already a-democratic Electoral College by encouraging states to ignore the popular vote and send their electors to cast their votes to the candidate who did not win the popular vote. Kudos to the Michigan's Republican legislative leaders who appear to be rejecting this unbelievably shameless horror. Unfortunately our glorified Constitution does nothing to prevent this, so we rely on scruples to put an end to this idea, which is frightening in itself. Republicans are clearly quite good at knowing what to do to win--but it is clear that's all they care about. Continue watching the details on this story over the coming days and weeks. If this happens in just one state, I guarantee you I too will join the fight to shut these people down no matter what it takes, and I mean that, no matter what it takes.
DETROIT (AP) — President Donald Trump summoned Michigan’s Republican legislative leaders to the White House for an extraordinary meeting Friday amid a long shot GOP push to subvert the democratic process that handed the battleground state to Democrat Joe Biden.
Two people familiar with the matter told The Associated Press that Trump invited Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey and House Speaker Lee Chatfield. They agreed to go, according to a state official aware of the leaders’ plans. The two officials spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were discussing private conversations.
It was not immediately clear what the meeting would be about. Neither Shirkey nor Chatfield commented.
Trump’s campaign is openly floating the notion of trying to get friendly state legislatures to appoint electors who would overturn the will of the voters. If Trump succeeds in convincing Michigan’s state board of canvassers not to certify Biden’s victory in the state, state lawmakers could be called on to select electors, but such a brazen move would be unprecedented and possibly illegal. It would be certain to draw a swift legal challenge.
Both Shirkey and Chatfield have indicated that they will not try to overturn Biden’s win.
“Michigan law does not include a provision for the Legislature to directly select electors or to award electors to anyone other than the person who received the most votes,” Shirkey’s spokeswoman said last week. On Nov. 6, Chatfield tweeted: “Whoever gets the most votes will win Michigan! Period. End of story. Then we move on.
Truly a Banana Republic in plain sight and Proud of it,,. A political party with 73,000 million voters have spoken, they have tasted corruption in plain site in all its shame, endorse it & want more,,!!
How does Donald Trump plan on deporting 12 million illegal immigrants? Juan by Juan.
What do you call a movie about Donald Trump, Bernie Madoff, and Kenneth Lay? The League of Extraordinary Con Men.
What is the Beach Boys song "Kokomo" about? All the places Donald Trump has bank accounts.
Why does Donald Trump take Xanax? For Hispanic attacks.
What did Donald Trump do before criticizing illegals? He made sure his pools were clean and his lawns were mowed.

I heard today on the CBS radio news that Trump has picked up $175 million in donations since he started his election-result fight. So now you know why he doesn't want to give up on his useless quest.

$175 million donated, but not necessarily spent how Trump's crooked team suggested. His ridiculous hand puppet Rudy Giuliani can wince and ponce around for a while say "well, we twied" and the criminal Trump will pocket the rest. 'Expenses' incurred in the name of the great MAGA faithful dopes who thought "yeah, Mr Trump will look out for my interests".
MAGA - Makin' Another Gouge Attack.
Soon he'll be back behind that tiny desk waving his tiny hands around saying 'its close, real close - we just need more money to fight the fight' and then bleat for more idiots to donate. (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-u...-idUSKBN27R309)
For those who write off anti-Trump sentiment as so-called Trump Derangement Syndrome, I have not heard a more compelling explanation for the source of TDS yet: https://samharris.org/subscriber-ext...republic-lies/
I'm starting to believe that not everything Mr Trump says is the truth. It almost seems like he lies on purpose on just about every single topic. Maybe I just misheard or misread what he misspoke or misTweeted every day.

I hate to say it but I think he lies every time he opens his mouth or touches a keyboard. It seems to be something he has been doing since childhood. My thought is: Who is he trying to fool? The public or himself?

Joseph Goebbels, minister of propaganda for the Nazi German government of the Third Reich, understood the power of repeating falsehoods. “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it,” he asserted, “people will eventually come to believe it.” This phenomenon, pervasive in contemporary politics, advertising, and social media, is known in cognitive psychology as the “illusory truth effect.”
Adolf Hitler a master propagandist and Goebbels, his minister of propaganda, espoused a technique known as the “Big Lie,”which involved repeating a colossal falsehood until the public came to believe it was true. Hitler coined the term in his 1925 book “Mein Kampf.”
[COLOR="#0000CD"]“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it,” [/COLOR]Goebbels is often reported to have said.
Donald Trump reportedly owned a copy of Adolf Hitler’s speeches and kept them in his bedside cabinet.
A 1990 Vanity Fair article about billionaire businessman stated that Mr Trump’s then wife Ivana, said her husband owned a copy of “My New Order” – a printed collection of the Nazi leader’s speeches.
Marie Brenner, the article’s author, wrote: “Ivana Trump told her lawyer Michael Kennedy that from time to time her husband reads a book of Hitler's collected speeches, 'My New Order', which he keeps in a cabinet by his bed.
A tip of the hat, a smile, a wink and a salute to WildWilly who might be resting a little easier now that California cast their electoral votes officially putting Biden over the top. RIP and thanks for all you contributed!
