Justin Trudeau’s left eyebrow detached after meeting Trump — so what? These days, who doesn’t wear fake eyebrows? pic.twitter.com/EZTeYllCrH— Mike (@Doranimated) June 10, 2018
Ooh! The eyebrows have their own Twitter feed:
To those who struggle with fake eyebrows everywhere. I am your leader and I will dance my way to acceptance. #SundayMorning— Trudeau’s Eyebrows (@TrudeasE) June 10, 2018
ADDED: More seriously, via Yahoo:
Just minutes after a joint communique, approved by the leaders of the Group of Seven allies, was published in Canada's summit host city Quebec, US President Donald Trump launched a Twitter broadside, taking exception to comments made by Trudeau at a news conference.The eyebrows are symbolic.
"He really kinda stabbed us in the back," top US economic advisor Larry Kudlow said of Trudeau on CNN's "State of the Union." "He did a great disservice to the whole G7.... We went through it. We agreed. We compromised on the communique. We joined the communique in good faith," Kudlow said.
US trade advisor Peter Navarro, speaking on "Fox News Sunday," reinforced that message. "There's a special place in hell for any foreign leader that engages in bad-faith diplomacy with President Donald J. Trump and then tries to stab him in the back on the way out the door," he said.

Lola!
Trudeau is definitely a lumberjack.
Technically referred to as a "brow merkin."
FLCL - if you've seen it, you will know.
Better mouse tails on your brows than a yellow cat on your head.
He looks like I felt while trying to sell GE electrical distribution equipment in East Texas. In a word, uncomfortable.
The pain in my gut went away the day I was fired.
I think that cat is orange.
Trudeau is definitely a lumberjack.
And I thought he was so Butch!
Papa Fidel would be so proud of his boy. Sticking it to those Yankees!
I used to think he was Castro's kid but now I'm convinced he is not. Castro wouldn't have made such a panty-waste little feckless pussy.

Since Trump’s hair is real, what you’re complaining about is Trump’s use of dye. I wonder if anyone has ever ridiculed your choice of hair coloration.
It's all fun and games until it is not.
Get ready Wisconsin, Iowa, Michigan, Pennsylvania. Hog farmers. Importers of steel. It's coming at you.
Free Trade is on the table.
No tariffs. No Barriers.
For everyone in the G7.
It just goes to the dishonesty of the globalists that they are trying to obfuscate and lie.
Of course Inga supports lying. Especially when it screws Americans.

You can blame the mother for that. Good thing his papa wasn’t a rolling stone.
What a fuuny little man.
Trudeau is definitely a lumberjack.
and that's OK. After all, he sleeps all night and works all day...

Real free trade. Not the leftist globalist lies and cronyism.
But you can't handle the truth so you obfuscate and lie.
Trump won because both the republicans and democrats used the same obvious lies to screw Americans.
2018 is going to be awesome.
Chickie sweetie, I don’t dye my hair, it’s very salt and pepper. As for Trump’s hair, it might be his, but it’s done some traveling from the back of his head to the front. His yellow hair matches his orange skin, so sunshiny, so Mar a Lago, so it’s all good.

I thought you were supposed to draw eyebrows on your skin?
Cuz the last time I was in TJMaxx, the clerk at the counter has drawn on the wildest, most ridiculous eyebrows EVAH!!
"Real free trade."
No tariffs, no barriers, no subsidies.
Of course, that won't stop the crony capitalists and the crony socialists from instituting rules to benefit themselves and their comrades.
So Trump should add: no games.
Achilles wrote: “Of course Inga supports lying. Especially when it screws Americans.”
The Dems aborted fair trade policies when they rejected Dick Gephardt. Just like they threw out the military with Jim Webb in favor of the shrew. Thiese are the broken pieces that Trump is scooping up and cobbling together.
I just thought that it was a picture which you can't tell a lot about. Watching the video, I'm like WTF? How embarrassing.
I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK
I sleep all night and I work all day I cut down trees, I skip and jump
I like to press wild flowers
I put on women's clothing and hang around in bars
He cuts down trees, he skips and jumps
He likes to press wild flowers
He puts on women's clothing and hangs around in bars
I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK
I sleep all night and I work all day
I cut down trees, I wear high heels
Suspendies and a bra
I wish I'd been a girlie, just like my dear Papa

The next big prize for Trump is the African American vote, foolishly expended for the sake of sanctuary cites and open borders.
“Get ready Wisconsin...”
Tariffs take toll on Wisconsin manufacturers. At a recent town hall meeting held by U.S. Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R) in Hartford, a local manufacturer complained vehemently about the new steel and aluminum tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump. This town hall took place in Washington County a deep red county for years.
Trump does the stunningly obvious and his critics are so obsessed in their quest for a gotcha they miss the forest for the trees.
The G-7 kerfuffle is real, the US has been shortchanged in its exports but the real message is intended for China.
As for Canada, really? That metrosexual is your PM?
A lightweight loser is young Master Justin Trudeau.
“The next big prize for Trump is the African American vote...”
Not going to happen by calling football players protesting police abuses of black Americans “sons of bitches” and trying to impinge on their First Amendment Rights.
"There's a special place in hell"
Leave the histrionics to Albright, please.
Agree. This is a message to China.
I supported Trump early on because I saw that he had what’s called “crossover appeal.” Dems are terrible at this. The only cross overs they attract are gender and border crossers.
The eyebrows are symbolic.
As symbolic as Trump's hairpiece?
What is this? Diplomacy of the fake hair attachments?
We might as well have had a bunch of old lady presidents anyway.
There are two commenters here that think trade wars last for years. That is, long enough for their effects to be felt. From what I’ve seen, Trump is conducting a trade blitzkrieg, not a war. He wants a quick confrontation followed by a quick resolution. For example, with China, Trump backed off of some of his demands to get concessions on Korea but he kept others which China agreed to. That trade “war” lasted about a month. I think there’s no one who can point to concrete damage done to any American businesses in that time.
“I supported Trump early on because I saw that he had what’s called “crossover appeal”
In other words, Trump unites factions. Obama was obsessed with dividing people.
Dems are terrible at this. The only cross overs they attract are gender and border crossers.
Oh I think trannies attract you as well. You talk about 'em 24/7.

“Bush Supports Shift of Jobs Overseas
The loss of work to other countries, while painful in the short term, will enrich the economy eventually, his report to Congress says.
February 10, 2004
WASHINGTON — The movement of American factory jobs and white-collar work to other countries is part of a positive transformation that will enrich the U.S. economy over time, even if it causes short-term pain and dislocation, the Bush administration said Monday .
The embrace of foreign outsourcing, an accelerating trend that has contributed to U.S. job losses in recent years and has become an issue in the 2004 elections, is contained in the president's annual report to Congress on the health of the economy.
"Outsourcing is just a new way of doing international trade," said N. Gregory Mankiw, chairman of Bush's Council of Economic Advisors, which prepared the report. "More things are tradable than were tradable in the past. And that's a good thing."
The report, which predicts that the nation will reverse a three-year employment slide by creating 2.6 million jobs in 2004, is part of a weeklong effort by the administration to highlight signs that the recovery is picking up speed. Bush's economic stewardship has become a central issue in the presidential campaign, and the White House is eager to demonstrate that his policies are producing results.”

Inga's got a cool new avatar.
Jack Wayne notes “Trump is conducting a trade blitzkrieg, not a war.”
Thanks for using leftist stereotypes.
Prime Minister Zoolander.
Those asses tried to bully Trump! No wonder why he was pissed.
From Powerline:
Does Canada actually impose a 270% tariff on American dairy products, as Trump keeps saying? Yes, it does, according to the Canadian Broadcasting Company:
Canada levies a tariff of 270 per cent on milk, 245 per cent on cheese and 298 per cent on butter in an effort to keep imports out and tightly control supply.
But Inga, I was talking about Dems, not Republicans.
I used to think he was Castro's kid but now I'm convinced he is not. Castro wouldn't have made such a panty-waste little feckless pussy.
It was his mama and his dad. They nurtured him well.

Manufacturing was down for 30 years since BushClintonBushObama sold us out starting with NAFTA.
We noticed that the globalists sold us out to their crony friends. Republicans and democrats.
Now we have Trump who is actually looking out for us.
Keep sticking up for the crony capitalist donors.

Those brows are "fake news"...
But a presumably healthy guy wearing fake brows is a helluva lot weirder than male pattern baldness coverups.

I am so glad Inga caught up and noticed the GOPe and the democrats have been screwing the US for decades.
Of course she totally supports Bush policies now.
She can't say why. She just does.
It is part of being stupid.
“Inga's got a cool new avatar.”
I do! I tried to make her hair more salt and pepper, but the app didn’t have my shade. Now Chickie can say my avatar dyes her hair, lol.
Wow, here is a guy who is tall, young, and good looking, and yet still felt the need to wear fake eyebrows (not pencil them in, wear actual fake eyebrows). That tells you a lot right there about Trudeau.
At a certain point, our American Nazis have a point.
Right now, as on many summer weekends, I can hear the "alternative sexuality" crowd outside banging drums, cheering and basically chanting at the decibel level of a few dozen jet engines. No joke.
Do you think anyone could get together a crowd that loud, and big, about anything job or economy-related?
Hopefully these progressive wins in the primaries will continue to transform the Democrat party, but I don't think it's going to be quick enough. It will be a long, slow slog and in the meantime Trump (and whichever party supports him) will keep picking up the pieces.
The Democrats have decided that they were born to lose, apparently. They're done... at least for now and however many years left in this schizoid administration matter. Over and out.
“Not going to happen by calling football players protesting police abuses of black Americans “sons of bitches” and trying to impinge on their First Amendment Rights.”
We shall see. But a hell of a lot more African Americans respect the military more than they do the NFL. Oddly, this isn’t the case with you.
“She can't say why. She just does.”
Here’s why, ARM said it best yesterday on another thread which wandered into the Trade Wars issue.
ARM said...
“US manufacturing, in particular, has been run by a bunch of Quislings who sold out to the highest bidder.”
Castro wouldn't have made such a panty-waste little feckless pussy.
It may be an experiment of nature or nurture. He is as tall as Fidel but was raised by pussies.
Canada levies a tariff of 270 per cent on milk, 245 per cent on cheese and 298 per cent on butter in an effort to keep imports out and tightly control supply.
There’s the toll on Wisconsin and California right there. About a 250% toll.
25% is very reasonable, a slap on the wrist.
Why would one want “tightly control supply?” How much more are Canadians paying for the basics than they could be? Remember controlling the means of production, control the people.
I also think it likely Trudeau is Castro's bastard. The images of the young Castro compared to Trudeau are just uncanny to look at.
Yeah, someone encouraged me to take up one of those avatar apps, but you've always got to compromise feature-by-feature with what the app has set up... to the point where the finished product looks so unlike you that you wonder what use it even has as an alter ego.
The better way would be a picture that gets so heavily pixelated and an A.I. algorithm that could match up your heavily pixelated image to the avatar features contained in its selections. But I like the less 3-D, more "cartoonish" image in the Inga avatar. Ironically it's better than these overly rounded, sculpted, shiny, shaded and reflected bobble-head avatars that are all the freaking rage.
“But a hell of a lot more African Americans respect the military more than they do the NFL. Oddly, this isn’t the case with you.”
The protests have nothing to do with respect for the military. There are many black and white military members who respect the Constitutional right to free speech. Oddly you don’t know this.
Chickie, I’m beginning to think your sockpuppet is President Mom Jeans.
Superciliousity fail.
Trudeau, my Prime Minister, is why I fled and ended up on Althouse with my new Trump bro’s. Staying here because I have a bit of a crush on Inga.
The average tariff on dairy en Toto? is 271%.
Justin was going for that Brezhnev look.
Chickie just thinks that police brutality is as American and worthy of supporting as mom and apple pie.
I just stopped by to benefit from wwww's and Inga's deep expert commentary on trade.
Fidel used fake eyebrows?
How embarrassing, Jr’s first big pants event, taking his place with the big boys and in the end it’s all about his eyebrows.
Oh, and Trump “leaving G7 in chaos” because he tells the truth.
On the 4th of July, chickie calls up his parents, has a cook-out, fires up the nitrite-loaded hot dogs, freshly wife-baked apple pie, talks about how great it is to be in a late middle-age heterosexual relationship - with all the de-emphasis on any actual SEX that that entails - and how many black skulls need to be cracked by as many nightsticks-wielding cops dressed in black paramilitary uniforms and other some such urban conflict gear.
It's like his dream. He sits back in his lawn chair, cracks open a petroleum-lined cheap American beer can, and watches the fireworks crackle to the gauzy backdrop of these wondrous reminders of Americana in the landscape of his mind.
"briefly fashionable to wear fake eyebrows made of mouse skin."
"MythBusters" says: "I have no definite conclusion. The evidence is thin, and I personally think that the use of mouse-skin eyebrows is unlikely, but with no definitive evidence I can't make a conclusion either way. Was Steele's [satiric] play an influence on subsequent mentions of mouse-skin eyebrows? Was this some sort of recurring joke? I end with this Very Academic Statement: Clearly much more research needs to be done!"
For Inga: Pick Up The Pieces . The guitar player has orange hair and he's wearing a skirt!

Nah, you don’t mess with the bankers.
(Eaglebeak)
Trump's hair may be (=is) dyed, but it's his own--just ask Stormy Daniels, who recently shared that part of "her story" that she's so anxious to tell (to Penthouse, in May). She said that in intimate situations it looked like a drunken cockatoo.
Better than caterpillar eyebrow slippage, I would say.
Also, Trump is very frank about his bald spot and about dyeing his hair ("I just don't like gray"). On the other hand, haven't heard Justine discussing his eyebrow wigs.
Causing chaos would actually be Trump telling the provinces I can make this all go away if you become a state....

In epic fashion.
Keep cheering for war in Korea.
Justine’s so young, too. It’s a shame.
Hey chickie - I know you love chemicals, and probably cheap factory-food products, but I know you love German schtick, too. So, what do you think about our cheap American mass-market beer swill products, and how their cans are lined with petroleum? What would the Reinheitsgebot (German beer purity law) of 1516 say about that? Doesn't that just create a conflict and sense of inner turmoil in your soul wrenching enough to provoke the San Andreas fault line and Mount Vesuvius both at the same time?

Canadian, can confirm adjectival clause.
@wwww, I disagree with the premise of your 10:30 comment, but my troubles with blogger.com a few days ago prevented me from responding to your remark about “wrangling a toddler.”
Treasure that little one; they grow up so fast! Two weeks ago my older son married a lovely and intelligent woman. But wait! Wasn’t he a toddler just a short, short time ago? I remember my toddler seeing me raking leaves in the back yard and getting his toy rake to “help” by messing up the piles I’d made. And the first day of kindergarten. And him getting on the bus to go to his first day of high school. And moving him into his dorm room at the start of college. Surely that was last week and not a decade ago? So fast, they grow up so very fast. Take it from this proud poppa, and treasure every minute.
Would AA care to explain why she went with the @TrudeasE instead of with @TrudeausEyebro1 ('100% real human hair, organically sourced')? The latter posted, an hour ago, "I can't believe how quickly the Russians created a troll account. Do not be fooled. This is the official account for the Prime Minister's Eyebrows. All other accounts are fake." Am presuming that's a comment on @TrudeasE. I believe I prefer @TrudeausEyebro1. "We are always nearby, either on his face, or nearby in a makeup kit. At home we get to relax in his makeup room, but on the road he pares it down to 2 suitcases. As for vacation, we go wherever the lobbyists send us."
I recall Chickie saying recently that his wife loathes Trump. Perhaps not conducive to long nights of hot lovin’...
Fake eyebrows? Good grief.
@Inga - Your new avatar looks a lot like Ali Watkins of #useyourcooter fame.
Since Trump’s hair is real..
Trump's hair is only as "real" as the hair on the back of his neck from which it was transplanted.
Come on. You know you want to see that Lex Luthor Trump. You know that hour that he spends each morning doing an Ernie McCracken (Kingpin's Bill Murray) level of combover takes place for a reason.
I mean, a "fashion and ego and puffery" reason. Not a GOOD reason.
Someone might as well convince him to walk around with a peacock tail fan behind his head. I mean, that would get the message across at least as interestingly. Isn't that the sort of thing the old European monarchs of whom he's so enamored used to do?
You know Trump wants to wear ermine.
I bought 20 feet of 1/2 inch thick and 3 inches wide steel flat stock last Thursday. Haven't used any of it, so I just checked and there is no country of origin stamped on it. Last year I bought 20 feet of 3/16 inch thick 2-1/2 inch steel square tubing and it was clearly stamped CANADA.
Cost of the flat stock -- $67.60, weight 102.0 lbs
Cost of square tubing -- $134.40, weight 184.4 lbs
People complaining about Trump trying to do something about our enormous, expensive trade deficits don't have a clue.

Police brutality in democrat controlled enclaves.
With democrat controlled police unions holding the blue line.
With economic deprivation and crime caused by democrat policies.
In shitty inner city schools run by democrats.
The republicans have been absolutely stupid on race. On purpose. The GOPe couldn't have done a better job of driving black people to the democrat party. Again on purpose.
But Trump has provided and economy where Black people are at record low unemployment and growing wages for the first time in decades. He is actually taking up issues Black people care about.
He is also showing that democrat policies cause much of the suffering they endure.
Have fun with that in 2018. I think you know how that is going to end.

Guys who wear fake eyebrows will stab you in the back.
I understand plucking eyebrows, or whatever it is they call removing the hair in an artful fashion now, but I never understood drawing on eyebrows and I certainly don't understand eyebrow wigs. Oh what insecurity their must be for a young good looking man like him to feel the need for fake eyebrows.
So you're saying that more blacks should be beaten and shot dead by cops, Achilles?
That would really put a damper in that "record black employment" meme of yours. Does it count the millions you incarcerated for doing weed?

Woah...talk about Trudeau becoming unglued.
Trump is really getting to these guys. LOL
But Donald’s relationship with Justin is a 10. It’s all about the relationship.
These people just aren't smart enough to take on Trump, liberal losers.
ARM: "“US manufacturing, in particular, has been run by a bunch of Quislings who sold out to the highest bidder.”
US domestic steel, aluminum, coal and other producers fought against the trade deals that locked in permanent US trade deficits and transferred entire US industries overseas.
However, both parties establishment globalists and other US industry types banded together to over-rule those interests.
Just recall the number of US steel and aluminum businesses went bankrupt which caused GW Bush to politically panic in 2002 and led to tariffs of up to 30% on imported steel and aluminum thru the NAFTA loopholes via Canada and Mexico.
Naturally, the Bushies (as with the clintons) backed off those threats due to international pressure and sacrificed even more of those dwindling key domestic industries.
But hey, all the bankers and tech companies and service industries were okay playing globalist at the expense of the others.
Trump wont be backing down and he and the administration are betting that the US will come out far ahead in the aggregate as we dump these astonishingly one-sided trade deals.
LLR Chuck is clearly quite "butt hurt" over the beating his dem and leftist pals are taking.

Pretty boy sissy liberals.

I am saying the uniparty, democrats and republicans, are purposely subjecting the black community to policies that increase poverty and crime. They are trying to balkanize the electorate.
You are just bitter that Trump is the one trying to take them on and lashing out at people you should be working with.
You are being a tool.
It is always humiliating to watch other people actually succeed at solving the problems you claim to care about.
Keep lashing out at everyone. You make a new Trump voter with every screed.
I see that poor, clueless, Inga confuses the right to free speech with a nonexistent right that there be no consequences. I may have a constitutional right to walk into a biker bar and yell out that Harley riders are pansies, but there is nothing in the constitution that guarantees I will make it out alive. The football players who wish to kneel during the anthem have an absolute right to express themselves, but they have no constitutional right to be employed for millions of dollars to play a game. Nor do I have an obligation to watch them. And I have an equal constitutional right to express my contempt for them.
Hi 5 DBQ! Lololol
But hey, all the bankers and tech companies and service industries were okay playing globalist at the expense of the others.
They are ARM's heroes for "solving" the trade deficit. And tourism, of course.

I am not "bitter" that the boots you lick belong to a wig-wearer who only knows governance-by-tantrum. We will see how well it actually works, but know that Republicans have a way of covering up the magnitude of their fuck-ups until the years later when the damage is shown. (2008, 1929, etc.)
You are being a tool.

You should get your shine box. Ask Big Ern McCracken Trump if he wants a spit shine! Where did you pick up such skills?!

Lol wut? Again, we'll see what happens with the actual long-term numbers, not just the short-term propaganda you swallow up while doing that spit shine.

So you like lashing out or you don't? Or you just like it when Trump does it? And you say Trump's dong things I should agree with but that I should be against "making new Trump voters."
You are nothing if completely incoherent. How are your mental health goals looking for today?

'US trade advisor Peter Navarro, speaking on "Fox News Sunday," reinforced that message. "There's a special place in hell for any foreign leader that engages in bad-faith diplomacy with President Donald J. Trump and then tries to stab him in the back on the way out the door," he said.'
I think it's awfully sporting of Trudeau to participate in these staged WWW-style trash-talk exchanges.
Much more fun than the dull official-ese boilerplate that usually issues from these affairs.
So, Dreamy Justin, the Real Leader Of The Free World, according to Inga, is currently busy donning "Dune"-style eyebrows as he announces that gee whiz maybe he was just a tad over the top with his call for refugees to floid his border.
LOL. Unexpectedly.
Even better, now that the Chinese know Trump will be choking off the horrendous loopholes in NAFTA that China has been exploiting to abuse Trade with the US, China just smacked Trudeau around like the mindless twit he is.

Can one of the "progressives" who is defending the status quo please tell me what benefit the current trade deficit serves? In what ways are the citizens of these United States benefiting from the current situation?
Further, and this one might sting, at what moment did any of you begin to worry about these trade issues? Be precise, please.

Good one.
I see people are trying to debate with the human scroll bar again.
The trade deficit experts seem to have gone quiet.
Can one of the "progressives" who is defending the status quo please tell me what benefit the current trade deficit serves? In what ways are the citizens of these United States benefiting from the current situation?
There is a way to go about any negotiation and a way not to. Can you tell me what benefit breaking up the Western, Trans-Atlantic alliances - or constantly barraging it with petty, public tantrums - serves? In what ways did the United States benefit militarily from the pre-1933 situation?
Trump is a professional alliance weakener.

There was a time when the US was so dominant that we could afford to feed the world.
Obama spent 8 years teaching us to accept the decline.
Now, Trump is acting like we can't afford to feed the world and the left goes batshit.
Birkel: "Can one of the "progressives" who is defending the status quo please tell me what benefit the current trade deficit serves?"
The progressives support the status quo because it hobbles America and elevates our rivals.
Pkus, all the "right" people and communities in the US are hurt.
So really, for progressives it serves both a "practical" need (hurts America) and an emotional need (crushes the hated other).
The fact that it is done purpsefully and by design just makes it that much sweeter to the left.
But again, thats old news. We are in a different place now and moving in a new direction.
LLR Chucks tears and crying are simply icing on the cake.
Michael K reminds me of Dr. Harold Bornstein.
Check out the resemblance. All he needs is the Trump-approved hair.
Inga: You’re welcome, I’ll be happy to give you more tips as needed.
Always appreciated, Ing.
Hey Propgandizer, tell us again how no Trade Commisioner ever was influenced by lobbyists, like you did yesterday.
All Michael K needs to do is to write Trump a Propecia prescription he could serve the distinct honor and pleasure of having his group-"office" raided by Trump, too.
Come on, Special K. What do you say? Are you going to do your patriotic duty and write him that script or not?
“Obama spent 8 years teaching us to accept the decline.”
“Outsourcing is just a new way of doing international trade," said N. Gregory Mankiw, chairman of Bush's Council of Economic Advisors, which prepared the report. "More things are tradable than were tradable in the past. And that's a good thing."
Where were conservatives when the Bush Administration was pushing outsourcing? I don’t recall hearing a peep from them at the time.
Separated... at birth?
Inga: "Hey Propgandizer, tell us again how no Trade Commisioner ever was influenced by lobbyists, like you did yesterday."
What strange made up lie.
Tsk tsk
What was said (but you didnt understand (no surprise there,eh?)) is that the industries in question, US domestic steel and aluminum, did NOT have leaders who cooperated in the very trade deals that drove them out if business.
Now that that is cleared up, have you asked PPPT for an apology yet? He went off the other day on parents, like you, who he claimed were not smart enough nor lived their children enough to keep them out of the military.
And that wasnt the half of the insults he threw at military parents.
LOL
Your pal....
Toi funny
Angle-Dyne, Angelic Buzzard said... , Ing.
hahaha that won't work
Propagandizer, even the Buzzard had to chastise you, lol. Not a lie at all.
Whats amazing is Inga keeps posting snippets which support why Trump ran and why many republicans voted for him over both the republican and dem establishments.
Inga is also in bigtime denial that some independents and dems voted for Trump. She actually thinks none did!
It doesnt get any more delusional than that.
Im starting to think the Trump team pays Into post.
Inga's avatar confirms she is really Ali Watkins from the NYT.
No surprise there.
I didn't go off on "parents, like her." I admitted that rich, powerful parents can buy and defer their kids' way out of the cannon fodder career pathway and that parents who aren't elite cannot. And none of that applies to people who are aware and patriotic enough to go into it with eyes open. Dreck-O will never break up our alliance.
He will also never convince Inga or anyone else with a brain that doing the government's industrial war bidding should go eternally unquestioned.
He's just butt-hurt that he lost his identity to the war-borg. I don't think female recruits undergo the kind of psychological disintegration and personal humiliation that Dreck-O found so exhilarating when it was done to him.
Inga: "Propagandizer, even the Buzzard had to chastise you, lol. Not a lie at all."
She missed my point about the leaders of the steel and aluminum industries not supporting these trade deals which they knew woyld wipe them out.
No biggee.
Dreck-O brings concern trolling to new lows.
“Inga is also in bigtime denial that some independents and dems voted for Trump. She actually thinks none did!”
Now the Propagandizer is putting on his Amazing Kreskin turban, lol.
PPPT: "I didn't go off on "parents, like her."..."
LOL
Cant blame you for walking that lunacy back!
Inga: "Now the Propagandizer is putting on his Amazing Kreskin turban,"
You probably shouldnt have written it...as PPPT has suddenly discovered!
No biggee.
Nothing you say ever is. You really are the pettiest of commenters.
How's the hoped-for Trumpification of your party going? He's really breeding a lot of articulate, independent thinkers in that Club of Cowards of yours, isn't he?
How did your transition from a RINO anti-Trumper to a Twitler Trumpista go? Convincing enough for yourself, at least.
Now I know why he goes off on Chuck. Dreck-O's at least as much of a phony as anyone in that party.
Ouch!
PPPT calls LLR Chuck a phony.
I mean, a lefty calling Chuckie names is very very hurtful to him....like finding out Maddow has been pre-empted.
Dreck-O wants everyone to thank him for his service. You know, the service of being yelled at so abusively that it finally convinced him of what he suspected all along - that he couldn't make it in life or this world or country as an individual and had to bury his petty, weak self identity into that of some group or another. Might as well be the one that convinced him it would kill him.
Others can think for themselves.
I'm actually calling YOU a phony. CHuck's alleged partisanship or lack thereof is hardly my concern. Although I do find your RINO circular firing squad to be worth calling attention to.
Leave it to Dreck-O to call anyone out for being insufficiently partisan. It goes right back directly to how he has no individual identity. A Matrix clone if ever there was one.
LOL
PPPT, in the span of about 2 minutes forgot he was supposed to be walking back his insults to military folks while Inga is around!
Hilarious.

Wouldn't mind having the Latin name for the new avatar. Assume a turkey vulture/buzzard. The eye looks sad even though this blog has carrion aplenty. At hand.
I wonder if PPPT's apparently impaired short term memory is driven by some "chemical"factors..?
Not all "military folks" are the same. Not all are clones. Just you.
There are Jesse Venturas. There are leaders.
And then there are followers by necessity and lackeys who know nothing other than a role of enforcing follwership and groupthink.
Dreck-O.
It was interesting how he talked up Western superiority months back only to admit that he was a collectivist all along.
Oh, brother, pppt facepalm.
This isn’t 1946. Europe and Japan aren’t destroyed.

No Propagandizer. Everyone, especially ARM who immediately called you on your stupidity, including the Buzzard understood what you meant, which was that the trade shit show was the fault of the Trade Commisioners alone, who Drago said were lawyers and other professions unrelated to business. He completely negated the fact that they were heavily influenced by business lobbying and the Chamber of Commerce, mostly Republicans.

It is idiotic to claim that the "industrialists and manufacturers", the "Chamber of Commerce types" for shorthand, those who retain the services of K Street, etc., do not dictate trade policy. You think "trade representatives" come up with these policies all on their own?
These people did not have the trade policies of the last 40 years, that have proved so deleterious to the nation, foisted on them by the the commie-prog statists. They lobbied for China's entry into the WTO, they lobbied for NAFTA, they lobbied for the policies that would allow them to offshore manufacturing to cheaper climes while being able to import to the U.S. market tariff free, they were happy to do business under asymmetric trading rules as long as it remained more profitable to do so than manufacture in the U.S. That other American producers were against this and were getting screwed, or were forced to offshore themselves, doesn't change this. "Political quislings" take their orders from the "Chamber of Commerce types", not the other way 'round.

Ritmo thread. Sucking the IQ points out of those who reply.
Jay Nordlinger said ...
In Canada, Trump said, “Something happened a while ago where Russia is no longer in.” What happened is the following: Putin annexed Crimea and launched a war in eastern Ukraine. Therefore, his government was excluded from these international meetings.
Two and a half weeks ago, Dutch investigators reached a conclusion about the commercial airliner shot down over eastern Ukraine in 2014: The missile came from the Russian military. (All 298 people aboard were killed.)
Canada is the enemy.
s as he announces that gee whiz maybe he was just a tad over the top with his call for refugees to floid his border.
He’s done more than that. He’s sent representatives to Florida and I think Cali to tell immigrants the welcome mat is revoked for you.

They’re rich. It’s time they start paying their fair share. How can you have a problem with that?
I don't have a problem with that, but I have a problem assuming on the basis of blind trust that President Propecia State Secrets can even define what a "fair share" is. His party fought the last president for 7 years on their refusal to define a % of GDP to keep government spending at and I assume that Trump also has no satisfiable goal spending target and is just doing his public anti-alliance tantrum thing because he gets a rush out of it - like everything he does.
Anyway, the proof will be in the pudding. At the end of his tantrum presidency they will either have paid more, let alone a "fair share," or they won't. And at that point we'll be able to judge the effectiveness of his tantrum policy.
Fair enough?
Or are you, like him, just in it to cry about it?

Start pecking at Drago. I’d say he looks like road kill today.
Good article from Kevin Williamson, in which he abjures restating his disdain for the poor and instead focuses on why political debates become so debased. Very little is simple, but most people lack the patience or motivation to deal with the complex.
FAKE EYEBROWS!!?????? They guy's not even fifty and he wears fake fucking eyebrows?
Well, he sure showed that bad ole man, Mr Trump, a think or two.
Fake Eyebrows!
One person’s tantrum is another person’s motivator. The American is once again kicking the olde world in the ass and telling them to get a move on. They get away with the long knives stabbing US because they like to keep things secret, like Jimmy Savile and the grooming gangs. The like stability, the olde world always has. That’s why they’ve hated US since 1776. We knocked those feudal overlords on their elitist keisters.
I don’t understand why Justine doesn’t want a 5-year sunset provision. Commies love 5-year plans.
Again, this isn’t 1946. Europe wants to dictate how many veggies constitutes a sauce. That makes them happy and guarantees their job security.
Not feed the world, exactly.
The US offered up its market initially to stabilize the global economy, to ease recovery after WWII. The general consensus was that the Great Depression had indirectly caused WWII, and thus prosperity might stave off WWIII. And arguably it did. Western Europe and Japan and the Asian Tigers all became rich and stable. US market access was probably much more valuable in that than the Marshall Plan.
And after that it became an explicit instrument of Cold War policy. Be friendly to the US and you get to make money in the US. The greatest coup in this, its great success, was to remove Chinese enmity. For several decades anyway. Maoist subversion in the third world died away almost completely. The US won the ideological war of the 20th century with this weapon more than any other - except in the US of course.
What value there still is in accepting unfavorable terms of trade, and they are indeed broadly unfavorable, is questionable. There is no need to win a global quasi-religious war.

Besides, no Pax Americana brings instability.
Many here want leading from behind.
The world is defaulting to how the world really is.
If you want a big footprint but not the American footprint, you might not like all the strings that go along with that.
For example, no private property rights like in China.
BCARM: Good article from Kevin Williamson, in which he abjures restating his disdain for the poor and instead focuses on why political debates become so debased.
A mea culpa from Mr. Williamson, then?
A journalist was denied his private property rights because he wasn’t falling in line. You don’t get to take the train, you don’t get to leave, etc.
It is fun to watch ARM and Inga defend Bush's trade policies.
And attack them in the next post.
Then defend them again in the next post.
Then attack them again.

There is no way to pierce those perimeters, enclosed with concertina wire and littered with claymore mines which the sentries will set off in the face of any who approach.

Things change in 70 years, it shouldn’t be set in stone. 10 is fine. Contracts are changed all the time. New tech changes things. There has to be flexibility or you stagnate. It also keeps them in power.
I get they want stability after the 20th century, but look at the tech revolution since the 80s. We need the flexibility. They need it too.

The aristocracy has been trying to take the US down since it's inception.

The 5th column is being cast out.
So Seeing Red suggests that fear of instability will compel formerly allied nations to forego their interests and do whatever a psychotic and strange American president suddenly demands of them.
Talk about delusional. Leadership doesn't come out of nowhere and Trump ain't exercising it.
Stability is the word they choose instead of protection that’s what they want. And to cage US like with the Paris Accords. And they want US as their ATM. The Paris Accord was the tapping into the US ATM. We don’t need it, we’re doing better. It’s not my fault the Getmans closed down their nuclear and chose to burn wood, is it?

Angle-Dyne, Angelic Buzzard said...

A reasonable question, with a predictable answer. His stature and his ego remain negatively correlated.
You can judge a leader by whether people want to work for/with them. Allies don't want to work with Trump and underlings don't want to work for him. Not to mention the fact that he's lazy as fuck. (And as fat to show for it). Is he still holding a record number of vacancies? Don't worry, I'm sure that once everything falls apart once again in 2 - 6 years the Republicans will be just as circumspect as they weren't in 2008.
Rick Perry knows so much about nuclear energy.
Scott the Creationist Pruitt is right-on to throw out anonymized epidemiological studies and pretend that arsenic is harmless if the name of the patients aren't published.
And so on. A cabinet of incompetence, cronyism and boot-licking lackeys. What could possibly go wrong? Aren't rational leaders supposed to just appoint whomever is the most slavish graft-monger in sight is that they can find? Their role should be to feed his ego, not inform him.
This was the disaster that the Republicronies were heading ino all along.
The US is thoroughly insane and hates itself with a near explosive rage.
I know what you mean. It feels like we (the people in the US) are in a bad marriage. It started out nice where we seemed to all want, mostly, the same things. However, as time goes on, we find that we are fundamentally incompatible. The urbanites vs the ruralites. The liberals vs the conservatives and a bunch of us caught in the middle.
Just like a bad marriage, soon even the smallest things become more than irritating and there is no middle ground. If it keeps up like this, one or the other of us is going to start battering the other and there won't be any police to call to mediate. Separation or divorce is the only answer before things get really really awful and someone gets hurt.
I want a divorce.
No honey. Niall Ferguson WSJ article 2005 help me clarify things.
Trump is dynamic. The US is dynamic. Stability is stagnancy. For a prog, I thought you want progress?
An established business is not necessarily the capitalist ideal.
Such a business normally exists because it has managed to create a condition of permanent competitive advantage. This is good for the company, it creates fortunes, it is Business Strategy 101, in case you have done an MBA.
But its not necessarily good for the society. A business that persists across generations is doing something to suppress creative destruction, perhaps by becoming such a significant political interest that it can manipulate governments to support its survival. This was Schumpeters point.

THe Danes make enough wind to sell to Germany and Germany's not far behind, either - but they don't see the point of enriching an extraction-rights rent-seeker like we do in America out of resentment for not making wind and sun access economically excludable. Try again.
Trump's budgets turn around our deficit cuts and inches us back up above a trillion once again. In a supposedly awesome economy (that Obama laid no framework for, you'd probably say!) How these trillions compare to whatever disadvantage you pretended to see in trade arrangements is asinine. You don't care about the numbers, or the effect on our economy (and certainly not our security), and just find it impossible to channel whatever patriotism you care to indulge through pissing matches and chest beating and zero-sum games.
In the meantime, tell your Chinese creditors I said hi.

Sometimes I almost think God is on Donald Trump's side. Big speech intended to isolate Trump erased by cool-Canadian leader's eyebrow-wig-malfunction. Did that really happen? Yes it did. Aren't you recalling a Monty Python episode? I'm recalling Justin Trudeau fake-eyebrow fail on world wide TV.

2) Expressing a prog *denounced* viewpoint on (or off!) your employer's time? Excuse me? The First Amendment is only about GOVERNMENT censorship, you ignorant Nazi. A PRIVATE COMPANY has every right to dictate your speech both on and off the clock as a condition of employment, bigot.

I disagree with this. The actual rhetoric is no worse than it ever was, if for no other reason than that there are limits to people's imagination, when it comes to insults at least. People do seem much touchier than in the past. I am constantly amazed at how people get upset by something said on MSNBC or FOX. Nothing any of these professional agitators could say really affects me. I regularly listen to Rush when I am on the road. It is just another data point, nothing personal.
I think it would suck to be an Ozzie or a Kiwi right now, but they’re British and used to being subjects, not citizens. They should adapt easily. No more nasty US hegemony to worry about.

In the meantime, U.S. companies, cities and states aren't buying the line that putting country above planet is in our national interest. They kind of seem to understand that without a planet there really is no nation. Also, hard to see how you're going to keep migrants in place when you keep flooding their coasts and spreading droughts across their farms. Carbonizing the atmosphere... maybe miners will be sent up into the air to extract the stuff.
There are two parties and one wanted to (and DID) prolong the 2008 recession they caused through the same austerity measures that kept Britain from recovering as fast as we did. But there's no convincing someone who sells weed for a living under his favorite president's prohibitionist AG and does enough "recreational" meth and steroids to turn Speedy Gonzales into Godzilla.
I don't debate/argue with stupid people, Achilles. Go back into your rat hole.
Denmark makes money off wind by exploiting German laws that burden German electric ratepayers with absurd electricity prices. The Germans think they can afford to pay such a crazy tax that enriches "alternative energy" investors.
The other way to look at this is Schumpeterian - what investors, businesses, have so captured their regulators so as to grant them such a rich revenue stream from the oppressed German people?

Skepticism. Science.

You guys were right when you were blathering about the world heading towards an Ice Age.
Instability and chaos are trademarks of a capitalist economy. The Leftist Collectivists want protection from the "animal spirits" and demand the rest of us pay for that protection.
Hard pass.
Many of the arguments currently being used by the New Right were first raised decades ago by the Old Left. The union movement has always hated NAFTA and China.
The New Left, Clinton/Blair, is now difficult to distinguish from the Old Right, Bush/Bush. This is why Hillary deserved to lose but I don't think this loss is going to lead to a permanent realignment. The oligarchs control both parties. Trump is an aberration but a temporary one. “The business of America is business”. The oligarchs have always held the upper hand. The post-Depression/post-war period of relative equality was the aberration.
