CHINA!
"It could be incredibly damaging to the global economy. The risk of a recession has gone up because of the ratcheting up of the trade war," said Kristina Hooper, chief global market strategist at Invesco.

Trump blindsided investors on Thursday by announcing an abrupt end to the trade truce between the United States and China. Although talks will continue, Trump tweeted that he plans to impose a 10% tariff on the remaining US imports from China.

This place is fucking depressing, if I had any sense I'd stop coming around.
The latest fad is a poverty social. Every woman must wear calico,
and every man his old clothes. In addition each is fined 25 cents if
he or she does not have a patch on his or her clothing. If these
parties become a regular thing, says an exchange, won't there be
a good chance for newspaper men to shine?

Nah, CNN no longer represents libruls either. They are Hillary Biden centrists. Very boring now. No media appeal.

The other funny thing about that, is that he left a quote which the media could use to make it sound like he said 'if you don't like it leave', when what he really said included 'to fix the shitholes elsewhere, then come back and tell us what you did' (approximately). So his message was - go fix THAT, then we'll listen to your solutions to fix THIS. He said it in a shitty way which could be misconstrued by anyone shallow and shifty enough to do it.
You can also find quotes of Trump alleging that he is not racist. So, why does he say of four members Congress that they originally "came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe" when three of them were actually born in the USA? Why does he immediately follow that tweet up with another, calling on them to go back where they came from when they are born in the USA? Simple Trump ignores their country of birth because they are women of colour. He is a racist prick, and there is nothing you can say to argue the evidence proving that he is a racist prick out of the way.

As for objecting to them "telling the people of the United States ... how our government is to be run", well, they are in fact part of the US government, so, yes, it is precisely their task to determine how the US government is to be run, and you can't do that without talking about it.

Turtle McConnell unlikely to budge. He needs to be re-elected after all. None of this socialism so close to the election!

Steele interrogated in London by Trump people:

The extensive, two-day interview took place in London while Trump was in Britain for a state visit, the sources said, and delved into Steele’s extensive work on Russian interference efforts globally, his intelligence-collection methods and his findings about Trump campaign adviser Carter Page, who the FBI ultimately surveilled. The FBI’s decision to seek a surveillance warrant against Page — a warrant they applied for and obtained after Page had already left the campaign — is the chief focus of the probe by Horowitz.

The interview was contentious at first, the sources added, but investigators ultimately found Steele’s testimony credible and even surprising. The takeaway has irked some U.S. officials interviewed as part of the probe — they argue that it shouldn’t have taken a foreign national to convince the inspector general that the FBI acted properly in 2016. Steele’s American lawyer was present for the conversation.
