"Ceterum autem censeo Carthaginem esse delendam"
Trump Administration Considers Change in Calculating U.S. Trade Deficit
https://www.wsj.com/articles/trump-admi ... 1487523299
A larger trade deficit would give the Trump administration ammunition in arguing that trade deals need to be renegotiated, and might help boost political support for imposing tariffs.
Career government employees objected last week when they were asked to prepare data using the new methodology, according to the people familiar with the discussions. These employees at the U.S. Trade Representative’s office complied with the instructions, but included their views as to why they believe the new calculation wasn’t accurate.
One person familiar with the discussions said the employees were told the new calculations were to be presented to members of Congress.
The effect of such a change would be particularly stark on data involving countries that have free trade deals with the U.S., this person said—and in some cases the new methodology could even change a trade surplus into a trade deficit.

Re: President Trump
Does Donald Trump cheat at golf?
https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyl ... f69cc3f6c6
One morning in the mid-1990s, Mark Mulvoy was on the sixth hole of Long Island’s Garden City Golf Club with Donald Trump when the skies opened, and they ducked for cover under a nearby awning. The rain let up a few moments later, and Mulvoy, then the managing editor of Sports Illustrated, returned to the green. When he got there, he found a ball 10 feet from the pin that he didn’t remember seeing before the storm.
“Who the hell’s ball is this?” he said.
“That’s me,” the real estate mogul said, according to Mulvoy.
“Donald, give me a f---ing break,” Mulvoy recalls telling him. “You’ve been hacking away in the . . . weeds all day. You do not lie there.”
“Ahh, the guys I play with cheat all the time,” he recalls Trump replying. “I have to cheat just to keep up with them.”
The Donald is known for describing himself as a man of unbridled accomplishment and success in virtually every area he’s attempted, and his golf game has long been one of his most highly self-touted skills.
“I’ve played a lot, and I’ve played well,” he said. “There’s very few people that can beat me in golf.” On multiple occasions during his campaign, he has let voters know that he “killed” Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) when the two squared off this year. “I could play him a thousand times and never lose to him,” he said. And by all accounts, Trump is a very good golfer. Just maybe not as good as he says he is.
“The worst celebrity golf cheat?” the rock star Alice Cooper said in a 2012 interview with Q magazine. “I wish I could tell you that. It would be a shocker. I played with Donald Trump one time. That’s all I’m going to say.” (“I’ve never played with Alice Cooper,” Trump said. “That’s a terrible thing to say about people, especially me.”)

Re: President Trump
You're ignoring facts again. You're repeating this stuff constantly, but it's nonsense.radiobed wrote:Let's be clear, the press isn't free and they've undermined themselves.
As for Trump politicizing attacks to push his agenda, I would agree. Is he doing it because he doesn't care about human rights or because he hates Muslims, I don't think so. I just think he truly believes there is a migrant crisis and we need to be particularly careful in those countries filled with terrorism for now. A lot of people here agree with this, a lot think it's an overreaction.
My stance is I'd be much more concerned if I lived in a neighboring country. There are real issues/concerns. I also wouldn't want to be transported all over the world if I was a refugee. To me the best solution would involve stabilizing their home or parts of it so that these people can stay by their family and in their culture. Most people choose family and home over uprooting their life.
Trump isn't politicizing attacks, he's fabricating attacks and he's fabricating security issues in Europe to enforce policy against Muslims and immigrants. That is his whole agenda. It's the very definition of fearmongering to gain power. How could you possibly believe he wants to fight terror with this ridiculous ban if it excludes major Djihadi supporting countries? Your casual benefit-of-the-doubt stance has no basis in reality. He deliberately spreads misinformation to justify his policy and you don't give a shit.
I explained how this "neighboring country" spiel is bullshit several times before. You don't want to hear it. "The best solution" is not what your, or any other country, is aiming for. Trump's USA (same as Obama's) is doing the opposite: they're actively destabilizing the region, they're creating refugees with air strikes and turn around and refuse any responsibility. Yes, most people would "choose family and home life" over fleeing bombs around the world, no fucking shit. They don't get that choice, though. The neighboring countries take up almost all refugees from the region and most of them have zero blame in the game. As long as Assad is in power, none of the country's refugees will ever be able to return to Syria. Trump is supporting this. But Trump doesn't want to let in any of those people. That's creating a security issue and making others pay for it. Good deal, I guess, if you're a complete psychopath.
And the entertainment press being shit is one thing I'm not arguing either. But systematically discrediting all traditional news institutions is a trick straight out of the fascist playbook, any way you slice it.

Re: President Trump
Private for profit prisons have been a disaster but the weed post is not "fear mongering". It's merely repeating what Spicer said at the press conference. Here is a video of the conference with his exact words: http://www.politico.com/story/2017/02/f ... cer-235318Kiss Crue wrote: I will match your fear mongering link about legal weed
In this senate hearing from April 2016, Sessions expressed a negative opinion on recreational pot use:
Caucus on International Narcotics Control
http://www.drugcaucus.senate.gov/conten ... -marijuana
In a Senate hearing last year on marijuana reform, Sessions said that "good people don't smoke marijuana." He also pointed to the tenuous theory that marijuana is a gateway drug, and said that, "you'll see cocaine and heroin increase more than it would have."
"We need grown ups in Washington to say marijuana is not the kind of thing that ought to be legalized, it ought not to be minimized, that it is in fact a very real danger," Sessions said at the hearing.
Here's where attorney general Jeff Sessions stands on legal marijuana

Re: President Trump
I understand. The point I was making about private prisons is it goes hand in hand with ridiculous drug laws. They are greatly dependent on each other. And that is what we are seeing here with both announcements coming on the same day. It all fits very well together into the we are seriously fucked narrative being passed around here.
That being said I will not shit my pants over this for 2 reasons.
1. It's completely unrealistic to ever expect a President and his AG to say he is going to ignore federal laws. Obama didn't. Obama's quote on it was (paarphrasing) , "I cannot as the head of the legislative branch just say federal laws do not apply"...and he never did.
So what do the comments about more enforcement mean? It could mean rolling the DEA in and going to political war with 8 states that house 20% of the US population. Or it could mean sending out a forcefully worded letter from the oval office asking them to cease and desist as a grandstanding measure toward their conservative law enforcement oriented base that will mean nothing.
Or something in between. I'm guessing legal warring with California and 7 other states and showing the American public they wipe their ass with state rights isn't the top option. I'm still feeling pretty good about legal weed in the US.
My guess is the crackdown on marijuana is a design to do what it has always been designed to do...to lock up people who are targeted by the conservative agenda. It started with the hippies in the 60's and today you better not be smoking weed if you're an illegal.
2. I'm Canadian.
