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.
Bud, you're totally ignoring the currency manipulation and technology theft, which hurts our economy and are two things they refuse to give up. We're never going to have an even trade rate.
Buzzfeed: The account of the black metal antifa band Neckbeard Deathcamp tweeted (then later deleted) that the Ohio shooter was a member of the band. They describe him as being antifa but “not great with women.” (link: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/el … rind-band)
Not great with women. No shit.

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?
Easy...the same way that we cut taxes but continued to spend the same amount. The math was ok then, right?

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.

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")

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

Re: US Politics Thread
You guys worry way too much about feelings, which causes you to not focus on more important issues.
I've said this before and I guess I have to say it again: Conservatives don't care about feelings. It's okay to be offended. It's okay to not agree with everything. They aren't going to cave on something to make you feel better while accomplishing nothing.
You guys spend all this energy reacting emotionally to everything and not taking any practical measures to resolve the important things. You have this incessant need to do something regardless of whether it helps or hurts just to feel better that you did something. It's comical to watch when it doesn't matter, but it's pretty scary when it does. You talk about how hate speech from Trump ignites things, but have you ever stopped to listen to liberals? I've heard more hate coming from them (and you guys when you're triggered) than I've ever heard coming out of Trump's mouth.

What? I feel like you may actually have a thought, but you have no idea how to express it properly.
Either that or this is just more of you crying about the Tax cuts that helped millions of people. Probably that. Highly unlikely you had an original thought.
