Well…I have never done 7 of these in a day but the topics just keep inspiring me to comment, so here goes again. Not sure if you heard the new pronouncement from the EU that they will no longer do trade deals with any country that is not in the Paris Climate Accord…yep, the “great dealmaker” and well known idiot trump shot the US in the foot by his moronic withdrawal from the Paris accords…and now, the “great deals” he was going to make with them are gone…the possibility of any deals is gone, too…and that is just another instance where this in over their heads administration didn’t think at all about the consequences of their “America first” bullshit….and the effect of their stupidity and ignorance of how the world works has essentially given leadership on trade, that used to be ours, to China and the rest of the world. I applaud the EU for putting their money where their mouths are….never in my lifetime have I seen the US get out-maneuvered on every level from diplomacy, to trade, to innovation, and leadership in science than I have in the year that trump and his minions have been destroying this country…and it continues…what are you going to do about it, repubs? Again, nothing….impeach….

The repubs punch the tea party in the face…
Well…if there was any doubt that the repubs have been cynically using the tea party to consolidate their traditional power, the punch in the face on the trade bills should put that doubt to rest. In the last couple of days, the repub controlled house and the senate repubs all voted against the wishes of the tea party and approved trade agreements with Columbia, South Korea, and others that was one of the key reasons for the tea party’s existence. How do you feel now tea party? It’s what I have said here many times that these folks in the tea party were just being used by the billionaires and business to get a compliant congress that would give them whatever they want…no matter that these agreement will cost many, many, jobs here and most of them will be from people that make up the tea party. With these agreements, the real power behind the tea party has been exposed for what it is…just the rich, powerful and business stealing more and more from the rest of us…geez…
