Yep, LAURAK, time for Congress to do its job. A few more Republicans in office will get the job done.

The biggest threat to America is the obama Clinton cabal, China isn't in a position of strength to take America down.
The obama Clinton cabal is.

Trump's Tariffs Have Led to Layoffs at U.S. Manufacturers
Donald Trump Imposes Tariffs on $50 Billion Worth of Chinese Goods
The odds of a trade war just increased.




TRUMP ANNOUNCES TARIFFS ON $200 BILLION MORE CHINESE GOODS
DONALD TRUMP IS ROLLING BACK FUEL ECONOMY STANDARDS FOR CARS
IVANKA TRUMP ON FAMILY SEPARATIONS: ‘THAT WAS A LOW POINT’

By RENAE REINTS July 5, 2018
Despite his promising to be “the greatest jobs producer that God ever created” after winning the presidency, Trump’s recent slew of overseas tariffs has led to an increasing number of job losses at home.

America’s largest nail manufacturer, Mid-Continent Nail, became the first company to lay off employees as a result of Trump’s tariffs in mid-June. The Missouri-based company made its nails with steel imported from Mexico, but Trump’s 25% tax on steel dealt a blow to production. Sixty employees lost their jobs, and the whole company—which employs 500—could be out of business by Labor Day, said the Washington Post.

REC Silicon, which produces polysilicon for solar equipment, laid off 100 employees Monday as a “direct result of the ongoing solar trade dispute between China and the United States,” said company officials. The manufacturer has been closed off to the Chinese market since 2014, affecting overall sales. The Washington state-based company has reduced production to about a quarter of capacity due to these trade disputes.


Industry coalitions have warned that tariff increases will cause job losses in the future. The Solar Energy Industries Association estimated that new tariffs imposed by the Trump administration will lead to the loss of 23,000 jobs in the U.S. solar sector. BMW and General Motors each sent letters to the Commerce Department warning that new tariffs could lead to higher car prices and job cuts at production plants. Volvo had promised to hire 4,000 new employees for a new plant in South Carolina, but has said it may have to break this promise as a result of new tariffs.

Harley-Davidson announced it would be moving some of its U.S. production elsewhere after retaliatory tariffs from the European Union raised U.S. motorcycle tariffs from 6% to 31%, adding nearly $2,200 to the average cost of one of its bikes. The company has not said how many jobs will be affected by this move.

U.S. Steel and Century Aluminum have announced it will hire new workers as a result of Trump’s tariffs, creating a combined 800 jobs, but this number is dwarfed by the number that could be lost in the coming months.

While the White House has argued that these tariffs will bring jobs back to the U.S., the U.S. Chamber of Commerce argues in a new campaign that 2.6 million American jobs could be lost as a result of “recent and proposed trade actions by the Trump administration.”

This company is laying off almost all its workers because of tariffs

US-China trade war may raise gadget prices
A South Carolina company plans to lay off almost all its workers — 126 people — because of the Trump administration's tariffs.
Element Electronics, which assembles televisions, notified the state of the expected job cuts earlier this week. The company also plans to close its plant in the town of Winnsboro.


The company said the layoffs and plant closure were a direct result of US tariffs on goods imported from China, including important parts that Element uses to put together TVs.

The layoffs will begin in October. By the end of the year, a skeleton crew of eight people will be left, the company said.

Element said on Twitter that it is working to have the parts removed from the tariff list, and hopes it can avoid closing the plant. In its notice, it also said it could reopen in three to six months.

The company declined further comment. The office of the US Trade Representative, which handles requests for exemptions to the China tariffs, did not immediately return a request for comment.

In July, the administration imposed a 25% tariff on $34 billion worth of Chinese imports. Beijing, accusing the United States of trade bullying, has retaliated by imposing tariffs on American goods of equal value.

The United States plans tariffs on an additional $16 billion of Chinese goods, to take effect August 23.

The planned layoffs at Element Electronics were first reported by The State newspaper of Columbia.

Snooky6677,

Spoken like a true Trump cultist. My wife said to tell you, woman to woman, that you have her sympathies for the total loss of your common sense, intellect and the apparent astronomical amount of credulousness you have developed.

My wife asks, a woman, just how comfortable would you be if he were to walk up and grab your “lady parts” simply because he felt he could? As a woman, how would you feel if he were to do the same to a female relative of yours? These actions aren’t “f**e news.” These actions of his have been documented and are actions he has admitted to have done.

Additionally, during the 2016 GOP debates, Trump said no one would v**e for his former rival Carly Fiorina because of her face to suggesting that women should be "punished" for having a******ns and "joking" that he'd date his daughter... you really can't make this stuff up. Back when George HW Bush was US President, Trump spoke to Esquire magazine about the media: "You know, it doesn't really matter what [they] write as long as you've got a young and beautiful piece of ass." He is currently married to 47-year old former supermodel Melania. (Will you make bets on how long he’ll stay married to her before he trades her in on a younger model, like he’s done twice before; with several affairs in between each marriage?) Then, in 1992, in an interview with New York Magazine, Trump uttered this charming phrase about women: 'You have to treat 'em like s----'.

In a 1994 interview with ABC News, Trump let rip on his perception of wifely duties. “I have days where, if I come home — and I don't want to sound too much like a chauvinist,” the President said, “but when I come home and dinner's not ready, I go through the roof.”

He was married to Marla Maples at the time. In the same interview, he compared women to buildings and added that he gets bored when they become successful: “I think that putting a wife to work is a very dangerous thing,” said Trump. “Unfortunately, after they're a star, the fun is over for me. It's like a creation process. It's almost like creating a building. It's pretty sad.”

From seminal tome in Trump’s 1997: “The Art of the Comeback” on prenuptial agreements: “There are basically three types of women and reactions. One is the good woman who very much loves her future husband, solely for himself, but refuses to sign the agreement on principle. I fully understand this, but the man should take a pass anyway and find someone else.

"The other is the calculating woman who refuses to sign the prenuptial agreement because she is expecting to take advantage of the poor, unsuspecting sucker she’s got in her grasp. There is also the woman who will openly and quickly sign a prenuptial agreement in order to make a quick hit and take the money given to her.”

When he bought Miss USA , in 1997, Trump purchased the beauty pageant in 1997, and told the radio shock-jock, Howard Stern: “They asked, ‘How are you going to change the pageant?’ I said ‘I’m going to get the bathing suits to be smaller and the heels to be higher’.” He later added: "If you’re looking for a rocket scientist, don’t tune in tonight, but if you’re looking for a really beautiful woman, you should watch.” In the same Howard Stern interview, Trump also responded to a question about the Princess of Wales. “Why do people think it’s egotistical of you to say you could’ve gotten with Lady Di?” Stern asked him. “You could’ve gotten her, right? You could’ve nailed her.” “I think I could have,” Trump said.

In 1999, according to the New York Daily News, Trump said he'd promised his daughter, Ivanka, that he'd never date anyone younger than her: “I have a deal with her. She’s 17 and doing great ― Ivanka. She made me promise, swear to her that I would never date a girl younger than her,” Trump said. “So as she grows older, the field is getting very limited.” At the time, Trump was dating 29-year-old Melania, who would become his third wife. He was 53.

In 2008, during another interview with Howard Stern, in one long conversation with Stern, Trump managed to offend just about every woman going. He said women throw themselves at him: “They’ll walk up, and they’ll flip their top, and they’ll flip their panties.” He claimed to be attracted to women who are 'a bit chunky' when Stern asked if he had ever 'reduced himself' to sleeping with a 'fat woman'. Trump added that he had 'been with women with extraordinarily bad breast jobs' and 'pancake tits'. He finished by saying that any woman who has a breast reduction is 'insane'.

In 2011, he called breastfeeding 'd********g.’ Trump was in court testifying in a deposition over a failed Florida real estate project when lawyer Elizabeth Beck asked to take a break to breastfeed her three-month old daughter. The property mogul and his team objected, so she pulled out her breast pump to prove it. In an incident that Trump "does not dispute", he walked out of the room, telling Beck she was "d********g".

In 2015, Trumpet did a u-turn on a******n. Having previously supported the pro-choice lobby, Trump changed his stance on a******n to fit in with the Republican party. In 2015, told the Des Moines Register: “In thinking about it over the years, I’ve had instances, and one instance in particular, a friend had a child who they were going to abort, and now they have it, and the child is incredible. And the man, he changed his views also because of that.”

While we’re on the topic, on March 30, 2016: Trump caused mass outage after advocating "some form of punishment" for women who have an a******n, should it be outlawed in the US. The President says he has "evolved" on the issue of a******n. He was pro-choice for years before changing his position and backing a ban. He now believes the Supreme Court ruling legalising a******n should be overturned and that individual states should be allowed to ban it. At the time, his campaign team said he believes a******n should be legal only in instances of rape, incest or when the life of the mother was at stake. "There has to be some form of punishment," Trump told MSNBC, referring to women who would seek to defy the ban. Trump reversed his position two hours later, with a statement saying that he would punish doctors who performed a******ns but not the women themselves. Well, that's alright then.

On September 30, 2016: Trumpet said 12-year-old Paris Hilton was 'attractive.' This one courtesy of another old interview with Howard Stern, with whom Trump used to play a game called "Hot or Not.” Trump: “Now, somebody who a lot of people don’t give credit to but in actuality is really beautiful is Paris Hilton. I’ve known Paris Hilton from the time she’s 12, her parents are friends of mine, and the first time I saw her she walked into the room and I said, ‘Who the hell is that?’” Stern asked Trump: “Did you wanna bang her?” Trump responded: “Well, at 12, I wasn’t interested. I’ve never been into that ... but she was beautiful.”
Later on in the interview, he admitted he'd watched her sex tape.

In a report dated, October 3, 2016, the Associated Press spoke to insiders on reality show The Apprentice USA, who claimed that former host Trump used to rate female contestants by the size of their breasts and talked about who he'd like to have sex with. Former crew members recalled that he repeatedly made lewd comments about a camerawoman - who he said had a nice rear - comparing her beauty to that of his daughter, Ivanka. Others said Trump called for female contestants to wear shorter dresses, which showed more cleavage. Producer Katherine Walker added that Trump frequently talked about women's bodies and speculated about about which female contestant would be "a tiger in bed". Another crew member, who asked not to be identified, recalled: "We were in the boardroom one time figuring out who to blame for the task, and he just stopped in the middle and pointed to someone and said, 'You'd f*** her, wouldn't you? I'd f*** her. C'mon, wouldn't you?'"

Now comes October 7, 2016, and the infamous 'p***y grabbing' video. Trump hit a new low after the emergence of a video in which he discusses "grabbing (women) by the p****" and states that “when you’re a star, they let you do it”. The 70-year-old was seen using lewd and sexually aggressive language to brag about groping and trying to have sex with women, including someone who was married, in footage obtained by the Washington Post. In the video, Trump was recorded talking about an unnamed woman to Billy Bush, who was then a host for TV entertainment show Access Hollywood. “I moved on her and I failed. I’ll admit it,” Trump says. “I did try and f--- her. She was married. “And I moved on her very heavily... I moved on her like a b----, but I couldn’t get there."

On October 13, 2016: we learned about Trumpet Leering at a 10-year-old girl. From an unearthed tape of Trump from a 1992 appearance on TV show Entertainment Tonight, showed the billionaire watching a group of young girls going up the escalator in Trump Tower. "I am going to be dating her in 10 years. Can you believe it?" he is heard saying of one of them. He was 46 at the time.

There are very few times when Democrats and Republicans agree on anything, but this outburst was criticised from both sides of the political spectrum. The President launched a crude Twitter attack on the brains, looks and temperament of female TV personality Mika Brzezinski, who hosts the popular "Morning Joe" program on MSNBC with Joe Scarborough. Trump accused Mika of bleeding profusely from a bad facelift while she and her husband Joe were attending the New Years Eve festivities at Trumpet’s Mar-a-Lago resort, in Florida. She hasn’t had a facelift, let alone be bleeding. First Lady Melania, who has vowed to fight cyberbullying while her husband is President, gave his tweets a pass. "As the first lady has stated publicly in the past, when her husband gets attacked, he will punch back 10 times harder," her communications director, Stephanie Grisham, said in a statement.

There are many more examples of Trumpet’s misogynistic attitude I could include, but, I hope you get the drift of just how he treats and feels about women. Since, in your post, you initially identified yourself as a female, and, while you, as a woman, think he’s doing a great job, how can you justify your approval of what you perceive as his doing a “good job?” Almost all of what he claims as economic achievements are simply carry-overs from the Obama administration. He’s managed to suck-up to Russia’s Putin, commenting he trusts Putin’s word over our own intelligence community. Trumpet has managed to insult our allies (EU and NATO) and praise our enemies (North Korea, Russia). He’s insulted war heros and the families of our soldiers who were k**led in action. He’s praised r****ts and white supremists. He’s gotten “tax reform” passed that only helps-out the top 10%. He’s all but destroyed a very popular healthcare program (Obamacare), causing premiums to rise, forced many rural hospitals to close, and MILLIONS of people to lose their access to healthcare. He’s admitted to intentionally lying to the Canadian Prime Minister about trade issues. He’s declared our 1st Amendment-protected free press as “enemies of the people.”

As I said in my OP, his rolling-back of Obama’s environmental protections are very short-sighted. All he’s doing is allowing the pollution to get much worse and force our kid’s and grandkids have to deal with cleaning it up. It’ll cost them much more money than it would cost us to have maintained the regulations. All of this to make good on his campaign promises of un-doing Obama-era regulations that Trumpet has deemed “job k**lers.” If one were to actually watch the economy, one would see that the regulations actually created more jobs than it took away. That’s a net positive. Now, you’ve got a president that’s actually destroying jobs; unless the jobs are minimum wage jobs, mostly in the service industry.

But, if you still want to believe everything (lies) the Trumpetlodytes want to tell you, thats on you. At some point, you’ll become disenchanted with Trump breaking his promises or claiming he never made them. Oh yes, how about his promise NOT to reduce Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid? Now, you have the GOPTP-led Congress looking for ways to cover the added cost to the deficit caused by their big tax reform by trimming BILLIONS from the 3 aforementioned social programs.

What a man says 25 years ago as a stupid bragging young man is not the same as the man today.

Funny how the Socialist Democrats have to go back 25 years to find something to try and embarrasse some one.

I have no idea. I do know back in my teens I was quiet a wild love 'em and leave 'em until I met my wife. She kind of lay the law down and I became a one woman man. I've never regretted it 60 odd years later.

Good to hear that.
Liberals sure have selective aggravations, exasperation and memories.
