In related tone deaf news, GOP Senator #MoscowMitch's team tweeted this on Saturday (hours after the shooting), with a gravestone of his competitor (who served as a Marine) along with for some reason Merrick Garland

PASnow, what Democrat are you blaming for Antifa shooting up a club. You were very vocal yesterday, so I just want to verify your consistency on this.
Being a "Republican" or "Democrat" isn't a sole deciding purpose of my vent. Having a loser president LAUGH when someone shouts out "Shoot Them" when asking the question what to do with Mexicans was my context. I'll post it again for a 4th time just to make sure you & #noballsbuzz can comment that you watched it.
Hmmmmmmmm, let's see, Trump rails against Muslims in 2017, and an Indian IT worker is shot while eating in a restaurant. In May Trump laughs at shooting Mexicans, 3 months later someone shoots Mexicans. I'm glad you view me having only a blue vs red viewpoint on this.
Also, maybe Universal Background Checks could've caught this, too bad #MoscowMitch won't even call a session. And the Red Flag Rule is bogus, it's not mandatory & is only a setup to try to get Republican/2nd Ammendment Governors elected to say 'No' to it. It just gives 'grants' to states if they do choose some invasive, complicated, multistep system of going thru the courts for trial & appeal if they choose to say 'Yes' to it, making it a rally cry for the GOP on a state level. ("We don't want the government coming into our homes & taking our guns from us")

What China problem?
They manufacture at what, $3-$5 bucks an hour, which allows us to buy $300 dollar TV's at Walmart on Black Friday and $800 mobile phones. You wanna pay $2000 dollars so American employees maake $30/hour doing so, be my guest.
Do me a favor, buy a $2000 dolllar HDTV & post a receipt, I'll be impressed.
So you want to pay Americans higher wages including a $15 minimum wage, but you're not willing to pay more for stuff so companies can do that? How does that work?
I realize the industries & jobs that are gone, are gone. We're a service industry anymore. And manufacturing, like the coal industry, is gone.
BTW, did you see this one? https://www.peoplesworld.org/article/un … al-trains/
Pretty cool that they're blocking the train from leaving (it filed bankruptcy & didn't pay the workers) but really it's known that's what coal mines do. They get mega tax breaks, dig the town up for coal for 3-5 years, then file bankruptcy. There's a documentary about it, and when I was in SLC visiting my brother 2 years ago an Uber driver told me essentially the same story (He moved from W VA to UT cause his Dad got a great job there. Then, couple years later his Dads unemployed)
Gee, if only we didn't see this coming all the time.
If you think TV's & IPhones will be built in the US because of Trumps tariffs, you've got much to learn.

That ship has sailed tho bro. If you think TV's & Iphone's are gonna be built in the US, well, you may be right. They'll be manufactured in rural america for $7.50 an hour & sold in China to the rich for $1200.
Touche America, Touche.
We're talking about currency manipulation, ip theft, etc. It's not just about where things are made.
It's cutting taxes on the rich & taxing the poor. Poor people spend 100% of their income on stuff, alot of it junk made in China. People who make good money or are pure wealth wouldn't notice the increase, or if they're rich enough buy very little made in China.
Don't buy into the insults that its a modern war, he cut taxes to the Wealth class & is taxing the poor via China tariffs. Farmers are getting hurt left over right especially soybean farmers.
Also, Obama CUT the deficit by 11% his second term in office, Trump INCREASED it by 15% each year. He's gotta compensate for that stupidity so he basically implemented this national sales tax on you. Congrats!

Dow plunged 1,000 points mere days after China tariffs take effect. Do we blame this on Bernie too?

I see there's still transphobia in this thread. Neat. /s
