Lots of 1 and 2 day old stories about it, plus other coverage of Putin visiting Syria.

Seems to pass the smell test.

I mean old like months old.

So many world leaders have been recorded making fun of Trump, could be I'm mixing memories, or not.

Hardly surprising they were supporting trump, when the USDA were doling out more cash than the auto industry recieved during the much-discussed 2008 bailout. All completely without any regulatory oversight, owing to the USDA interpreting an old rule to allow them to do so.

It's mindblowing. Where are the conservatives when we need them? From the link:
The decision to start the trade war was costly, [Joe Glauber, the USDA's former chief economist] says, and the Trump administration, by tapping the federal Treasury, is avoiding the political fallout from that decision. "The sector that is hurt the most, and which would normally complain, all of a sudden it's assuaged by these payments. To me, that's a problem," he says. Also, the payments are quite generous. According to studies by several independent economists, the USDA is paying farmers roughly twice as much as the actual harm that they suffered from the trade war.

The farm industry is being bought off. And the farmers -- bless their God-fearing, patriotic hearts -- call it Trump Money. Twenty-eight billion dollars in 2019 and 2020. Remember, "Trade wars are good and easy to win?"

Insane. :(

@MarshaBlackburn
This is a solid win for our farmers and manufactures – China will be purchasing $200 billion in American goods and services over the next two years.
From day one, our farmers have stood behind @realDonaldTrump as he fought to secure a better deal.

Trump's China deal leaves some trade experts 'underwhelmed'
"Some of its provisions are vague, and some are unachievable," said one analyst.


Not quite the win that Trump's trying to portray it as. Also, likely worse than the deal they could have had about a year ago.

@SenSanders, @SenWarren, @SenAmyKlobuchar, and @SenatorBennet are spending millions of dollars to defeat @realDonaldTrump, and we’re supposed to believe they will be impartial during the trial?
They should recuse themselves.

Mmm. I'd consider that to be more fair of a request if all the Republicans who outright declared that they would not be impartial were included in the recusals.

For further confirmation, incidentally...

Trump administration violated the law by withholding Ukraine aid, Government Accountability Office says
The government watchdog found that the money was withheld "for a policy reason, which is not permitted under the Impoundment Control Act."
 
Not quite the win that Trump's trying to portray it as. Also, likely worse than the deal they could have had...

Congratulations! You just succinctly described about 30% of the Trump Presidency. The other 70% is comprised of Twitter rants and abuse of power.
 
“The GOA got it exactly backwards. Here’s what they said. The law does not permit the President to substitute his own policy priorities to those Congress has enacted into law. It’s exactly the opposite. The Constitution does not allow Congress to substitute its own priorities....

....for the foreign policies of the President.” @AlanDersh Alan Dershowitz @seanhannity @FoxNews
They do what the House asks. The Swamp!

“Years from now, when we look back at this day, nobody’s going to remember Nancy’s cheap theatrics, they will remember though how President Trump brought the Chinese to the bargaining table and delivered achievements few ever thought were possible.” @IngrahamAngle @FoxNews

“There is no crime here. Entertaining this Impeachment is a joke. This whole thing should be dismissed.”
@IngrahamAngle @FoxNews

Mini Mike Bloomberg doesn’t get on the Democrat Debate Stage because he doesn’t want to - he is a terrible debater and speaker. If he did, he would go down in the polls even more (if that is possible!).

Mini Mike Bloomberg ads are purposely wrong - A vanity project for him to get into the game. Nobody in many years has done for the USA what I have done for the USA, including the greatest economy in history, rebuilding our military, biggest ever tax & regulation cuts, & 2nd A!

The love and energy at a Trump Rally. What a special memory in my life to experience my first-ever rally for @realDonaldTrump. If you are a Democrat do experience the #MAGA movement. Life changing! Save your future. Vote Trump! @jepence

Lev the Canary says that the atmosphere around Trumpf is cult-like. Wonder where he got such a crazy idea?

They are rigging the election again against Bernie Sanders, just like last time, only even more obviously. They are bringing him out of so important Iowa in order that, as a Senator, he sit through the Impeachment Hoax Trial. Crazy Nancy thereby gives the strong edge to Sleepy...

....Joe Biden, and Bernie is shut out again. Very unfair, but that’s the way the Democrats play the game. Anyway, it’s a lot of fun to watch!

Subtext: "Russia, if you're listening, make sure to rile up the division between the Democrats and the Bernie Bros. I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our foreign policy. Let's see if that happens."

Wouldn’t have picked Trump as a Bernie bro.
 
Stay classy GOP...

From: https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/17/politics/gop-delaware-leader-antisemitism-impeachment/index.html
The Sussex County Republican Committee voted Monday to remove Nelly Jordan from her position as its vice chair...Jordan was criticized earlier this month for an anti-Semitic Facebook post in which she denounced impeachment by singling out Jewish people and claiming those who support impeaching President Donald Trump are Jews "in name only"

The Republican party in this case did the right thing. But, the republican president has a long track record of making similar types of anti-semitic remarks (such as suggesting they need to vote republican because they are focused on wealth), but he doesn't seem to get the same condemnation. Seems almost like she's a sacrificial lamb. "You can be a bigot... just don't call attention to it".
 
Cool. Ditch these too.

Manufacturing plants
Nokia = Sri City, India
Samsung = Thai Nguyen province, Vietnam
iPhone = Shenzen, China
Cisco = Singapore

Not equivalent. The Chinese government can demand that Huawei tailor their designs to serve whatever purpose the Chinese government wants. They cannot demand that Apple tailor their designs to serve the Chinese government. Apple has the power to refuse. Huawei does not.
 
The best people....
The acting Secretary of Homeland Security tweeted:
There has been a complete breakdown of law & order in New York City. NYC proudly passed sanctuary city laws & bragged about it for months. But now they, & more importantly, the citizens of NYC are facing the deadly consequences of the sanctuary policies.
Except that crime in NYC is actually the lowest it's been in decades. What an ass.
