Re: Will Trump make the Grade.
Welcome back Lone Star, your insightful writing has been missed by yours truly.
Re: Will Trump make the Grade.
Seconded.
Clinton's first midterm -- Lost 52 Democrat seats.
G.W. Bush's first midterm -- Lost 30 Republican seats.
Obama's first midterm -- Lost 63 Democrat seats.
Trump lost about 28 Republican seats (and he's not really a Republican anyway). Pelosi is toast. Trump won't play their foolish games like previous GOP administrations have. The topic of transgender bathrooms is not going to be a major national political issue demanding the full attention of the executive.

Re: Will Trump make the Grade.
I agree Trump isn't really a Republican.
Perhaps there's more gerrymandering these days so Trump's losses are understated a bit?

Re: Trump addresses EU trade deficit
I'm not surprised that there was no eneMedia frenzy over this breakthrough on trade with China. It's called hiding news that doesn't fit their agenda.
https://www.bbc.com/news/business-46093478
Xi Jinping pledges to cut Chinese import tariffs
Yes, like all the other countries who have taken advantage of the US through trade, China blinked. Only the cheerleaders for failure were deniers. Only the cheerleaders for failure were convinced that trade sanctions would destroy the US economy. Nope. And it's because of what I articulated before: The US is in a unique position where they have the resources, the supply chains and population large enough to be a self-sustaining economy.
Xi announced last week that he promises to lower tariffs, increase imports and better protect intellectual property rights. The details have to be hammered out, but Xi will meet with Trump at the end of the month.
Everyone just laughed and laughed and said Trump wouldn't get any trade deals -- not with anyone.
Trump and America are laughing now.
STEADY WINNING.

I got up for a piss as older chaps do and to see who is taking the piss. Are they knocking at the metaphorical wall yet?

Re: Trump addresses EU trade deficit
perhaps we read things differently , America can't even get a meeting with xi .and he's busy holding import expo asking other countries to sell them products and services . nothing about dropping American tariffs, more about Kenya actually .
and to top it off mike Pompeo refused a meeting . don't sound like china blinked, more like their just looing for more business elsewhere.

I like presidents who AREN'T AFRAID OF THE RAIN. He could care less about veterans, and everyone knows it. I think our fallen heroes had to put up with more than a few drops of rain, how insulting.

Re: Will Trump make the Grade.
Not a word of empathy for lives lost in the wildfires. Just I told you so. Americans must be so proud of their leader.

Re: Will Trump make the Grade.
His excellency owns a house at 809 N. Canon Drive, Beverly Hills 90210, and a golf course in Rancho Palos Verdes, just south of Los Angeles. His empire stretches far and wide.

Re: Will Trump make the Grade.
TBH, I was quite happy watching the mossie hatchlings in the broken water fountain out the back of the house while pondering a witty riposte to some of the more jaded UM membership's musings. Then I caught the news that DJT's own press secretary was tweeting doctored video clips of the suppression of free speech in the White House's own press room.
I mean what can one do?
Re: Will Trump make the Grade.
Trump doesn't tolerate ----- reporters who are still butthurt Hill isn't prez. Throw the assholes out. Well done Mr President.
Ashli Babbitt -- SAY HER NAME!
Re: Will Trump make the Grade.
Yes, yes, yes and the official accusation that the male reporter 'laid hands' on the female intern with all the casual inference of a borderline sexual assault that goes with it. Then the doctored video...
With the perpetual 'butthurt Hill' regurgitation, it's all getting as desperate as it is tedious.
Re: Will Trump make the Grade.
Bit of the old kettle calling the Teapot when Trumpleton laid more of his hands on old Stormy or is that fake news Giggle ?? lets have your say on that 1. Trump paid off his Hooker yet tried to alter a video to make out the CNN Reporter was an idiot. still keep winning lol.
