The Mexican “deal” is a scam…

Well…it is really funny to see idiot boy trump’s ass beaten on tariffs for Mexico….if you haven’t heard, trump declared victory and rescinded his threats to impose 5% to 25% tariffs, lying his ass off that he got “major” new concessions and signed a trade deal…the only problem is that the “deal” he signed has nothing new in it…the deal is for Mexico to continue doing what they were already doing? Look, we all know that trump folds like paper whenever he is put under pressure and there was a lot of it from everyone on this latest bit of stupidity….and the threats from dem senators that they will take away his power to declare emergencies and to impose any tariffs called the chicken in chiefs bluff….it appears the economy has had enough of this economic policy by tantrum and the layoffs have started in the manufacturing sectors across the country as management has had enough of not being able to plan since trump changes the economic outlook every day by his stupidity and that is introducing too much uncertainty for the economy to bear….so welcome to recession in the next 6 months…nice job trump, given the best economy in years and all you have done is screw it up…impeach…

The great dealmaker…

Well…just had to do a short one on an article that I just read about NAFTA and the “great dealmaker” who resides in the WH…after his bluster and bullshit about how bad of a deal NAFTA is and the only he can get a better deal….it was revealed the other day that with all of the idiot trump’s hatred of Mexico, they have decided to purchase all of the agricultural products that they would normally purchase from US farmers from South America. Yep, from trump running his big mouth and his racism, farmers in the US just lost almost 14 billion dollars in sales to Mexico….how do you like that farmers? These folks went for trump by almost 70% and now many of them will be put out of business…and all I can say is “votes have consequences”  and this idiot and his blundering is what you voted for…I don’t have a damn bit of sympathy for you….impeach…

The media is in the tank…

Well…I am so damn frustrated with the media lately and the low, low bar they set for  the Donald…a bar so low that I heard one pundit describe it as a paint line on the parking lot….that was shown in all it’s glory yesterday with the idiot’s trip to Mexico when they said he looked “presidential” by just standing there and looking like the idiot he is…and none of the media called out his lies when he said that the subject of the wall he wants to build never came up…and then the president of Mexico made a statement that it did…who are you going to believe? The serial liar, Trump, or the president of Mexico? And after all that “presidential” nonsense…ole Donald gave the most racist, crazy speech that he has ever given and lied some more saying that Mexico will pay for the wall “100%”. Now, I know the media has a vested interest in keeping the race close, but to be deliberately in the tank for one candidate, especially one who is so insane as Trump, is just journalistic malpractice writ large….geez….

Walmat’s brand of capitalism…

Well…just a short one to talk about the recent revelations that Walmart and it’s managers in Mexico spent 24 million dollars in bribes to allow them to build more stores there…in direct violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices act that prohibits payments of any sort to foreign governments or their agents to gain an economic advantage. But, that’s not even the worst part….while this was going on, Walmart was part of a lobbying group that was working on diluting the law so they wouldn’t be liable for their actions in Mexico. Do you need any other reason to stop shopping at Walmart? Other than the predatory practices that kill local businesses wherever they locate their stores and the fact that they regularly abuse their employees by making them work off clock and not paying overtime pay…and have been found to have insidious policies that discriminate against women and minorities? I have been really trying to work up outrage about this stuff today but I think I’m moving into overload since this kind of crap seems to be what capitalism here in the US has degenerated into…a winner take all battle where there is no sharing of the pie anymore…and that is going to ruin this country…geez…
