  1. Since this is your space, what are you thoughts on non-Chinese ag markets. Not only soy beans but any other products that are farmers are losing Chinese demand. Will there be enough demand from the rest of the world to replace the Chinese? If so, how long do you think that will take to normalize?
  2. Pakistan has massive influence with the Taliban through the Haqqanis. If we pull out, I'm assuming that they will quietly urge the Haqqanis with their Taliban partners to take control of Kabul. That will give Pakistan soft power over the hard power in the "new" Afghanistan. We obviously know this is a strong possibility and should sufficiently warn the Pakkis that there will be consequences if that is the outcome due to their cooperation or complicity.
  3. I think we are less worried about their help as we are with their complacency.
  4. "We can make your life miserable if you allow the Haqqanis and the Taliban to overtake Kaubul. We know that you know who they are, where they are, and how to limit their influence more so than any other government in the world. If you sit there and shrug your shoulders and play dumb while your proxies undermine our decades of work in Afghanistan you will be poorer and India will be richer and better armed than ever"
  5. There is a reason why the Haqqani network can operate relatively unencumbered in Pakistan. They will be Pakistan's de facto army to assert influence in post-America Afghanistan.
  6. United "Sates". Idiocracy.
  7. Especially from the party that lectures hollywood and athletes to "stick to acting" or "stick to sports". For all of the handwringing from the right about celebrities needing to keep their mouths shut, it's humorous that Fabio, Scott Baio, Dennis Miller, Rosanne, etc. are often on Fox. Are there any recurring celebrity appearances on CNN, etc.?
  8. Trump Jr.: "Dad, that Mueller guy is here, should I say hi to him or no.. /whispering (hand over mouth)/.. he looks really mean dad, for real. /normal voice again/ Also, dad, when can I use our plane again, I said I was super sorry about tweeting out those emails about colludin......oops, haha, I mean meeting with those Russian people"
  9. Trump is like Eric Spoelstra taking credit for all of the success of the 2012 Heat team.

    Tax reform

    OK, no jokes, got it.

    Tax reform

    Likely will be an inmate ID number by then.

    Below expectations, ouch. Not even close to Obama's best quarter (5.2%). That's got to sting Trump.
  13. If he truly believes it's an imminent possibility, he would show his hand in order to drum up criticism (from both sides of the aisle) to detract Trump from doing something stupid.
  14. My distinguished ex-congressman. I've had the pleasure of meeting Farenthold at a handful of social events in Corpus, he is not the sharpest tool in the shed.
  15. Now but now a white president is doing it, so it's legit.
  16. I agree. Just day dreaming about a better country.
  17. That is a good start. I'd love it if he could keep them all that positive. Let Cruz throw the mud, people are fucking tired of mud-slinging.
  18. Social Security card will suffice, also will need banking info and credit card numbers in order to verify SS# is correct, new procedure in 2018. On a side note, I'll be hosing a Surly happy hour at Treasures if anybody would like to join. Clob9 I'll be covering the tab.
  19. Mr. Clob, I'm actually going to need to see your government issued ID in order for you to exercise your constitutional right to express your opinion.
  20. Corker just brought the heat. Wow.
  21. He's already got his costume all picked out and ready to go.
  22. I LOL'd.
  23. Ohh I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that he hasn't read a page of that book. I think the last thing Trump has read in a long time was his prepared statement that he believes our IC, which he stumbled through and contradicted within hours.
  24. This all started because Trump was mad at China for subsidizing their steel industry. I guess if you can't beat em' join em'. The United States of China, bought to you by Donald Trump.
  25. Trump just axed the penalty. So young/healthy people will now be dropping out of the market in droves, driving premiums and deductibles even higher. Trump's plan is to make it so expensive that consumers will lose their sympathy for those with pre-existing conditions, and ACA will be axed completely.
