U.S. and E.U. can both claim victory in tariff deal, but the devil is in the details - BBC News
JD said โ€˜99.9%โ€™ win.
Total cover up spin and outright LIE.
30% rate CUT in half to 15%.
Many items excluded.
99.9 % would be a 29% rate with no items excluded.

A different way of practicing politics is possible - where we vigorously fight for whatโ€™s right while inviting people into our coalition, rather than pushing them away.

Call me crazy but why doesn't Obama fight fire with fire and sue Trump and all of his minions, individually by name, for libel and slander?

The problem is that anyone in Congress ignores the calls of people who are not their constituents. My senators and Congressional rep are all Democrats so my frequent calls to them are essentially preaching to the choir. My calls to any Republican will simply be ignored.

Yes, after a grand jury determined that he has smuggled thousands of illegals into the country, having made more than 100 trips. Now, this is according to Pam Bondi who I wouldn't trust as far as I can throw her and I have no doubt this is all trumped up (excuse the use of that vile word) BS.

Floccinaucinihilipilification is the act of estimating something as worthless. Itโ€™s one of the longest non-technical words in English, coined in the 18th century from Latin roots meaning "at little value".

The President of the United States is utterly out of control and possibly out of his mind, and only the Supreme Court of the United States can deliver the absolutely vicious permanent slapdown this moment requires.

If that does not happen, the options for Americans appear to dwindle precipitously.
