Low prices, floods and trade wars plague American farmers, putting their survival at risk

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/low-p...090103976.html

Yet they continue to support the incompetent, climate change denying Tariff Man, who is the root cause of their grief. When will they wake up, and demand his impeachment?

If 'sense' is against you, it is useful not to make sense. The Trump believers won't know 'what letter' or 'what testimony' but they will assume such exist, and that the president's claim that Mueller is a fool is therefore solid

Donny Allows High-Tech U.S. Bomb Parts to Be Built in Saudi Arabia

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/07/u...-raytheon.html

Quote:
WASHINGTON — When the Trump administration declared an emergency last month and fast-tracked the sale of more American arms to Saudi Arabia, it did more than anger members of Congress who opposed the sale on humanitarian grounds.

It also raised concerns that the Saudis could gain access to technology that would let them produce their own versions of American precision-guided bombs — weapons they have used in strikes on civilians since they began fighting a war in Yemen four years ago.

The emergency authorization allows Raytheon Company, a top American defense firm, to team with the Saudis to build high-tech bomb parts in Saudi Arabia. That provision, which has not been previously reported, is part of a broad package of information the administration released this week to Congress.

The move grants Raytheon and the Saudis sweeping permission to begin assembling the control systems, guidance electronics and circuit cards that are essential to the company’s Paveway smart bombs. The United States has closely guarded such technology for national security reasons.
How much money is going to Donny and family under the table for their compliance with Raytheon and the Saudis requests? Will the toothless cowards in Congress stop this disgrace?

Mexico Agreed to Take Border Actions Months Before Trump Announced Tariff Deal

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/08/u...l-tariffs.html

So this whole thing was just another con from the master conman, to rile up his idiot base, no matter the consequences to markets and nations. SMH. Idiots like Whell live for this disgusting brinkmanship. Donny belongs behind bars.

The silver lining to Donny’s incompetence

https://www-m.cnn.com/2019/06/09/opi...hal/index.html

Quote:
What if foreign leaders are inclined to take him seriously and react as if his words had meaning? It is both my belief and continued hope that President Trump's journey to irrelevancy on the world stage advances by the tweet, continuing to take further root so that we will soon see the day when it will not only be reasonable for world leaders to ignore Trump but it will be the only rational thing for them to do.

On the international stage, the one constant in modern history is that the American President is taken seriously. This is one norm that we should all be thankful Trump has broken. And hopefully, it is a norm that can be quickly restored once he is out of office

Bryan Cranston took a moment to get political during Sunday night’s Tony Awards, blasting the president’s stance on the state of journalism.

“The media is not the enemy of the people. Demagoguery is the enemy of the people,” Cranston said, referencing Donald Trump’s frequent tweets about “fake news” and “corrupt media.”

Cranston, who won a Tony Award for portraying newsman Howard Beale in “Network,” dedicated his trophy to the press.

“I would like to dedicate this to all the real journalists around the world, both in the press and the print media and also broadcast media, who actually are in the line of fire with their pursuit of the truth,” Cranston said in his acceptance speech.
Perfect.
