Hey Americans y'all elected a fucking moron.

This is what impunity looks like.

All Russia has to do now is interfere in the 2020 election on seemingly on the Democrats' behalf.

Right wing conservatives created this monster, they continue to enable him, and they will gladly cheer him on while attempting to sacrifice the last vestiges of American democracy on the altar of power to own the libs.
"One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."
"In a field where an overlooked bug could cost millions, you want people who will speak their minds, even if they’re sometimes obnoxious about it."
"One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."
"The European Union is coming to Washington tomorrow to negotiate a deal on Trade. I have an idea for them. Both the U.S. and the E.U. drop all Tariffs, Barriers and Subsidies! That would finally be called Free Market and Fair Trade! Hope they do it, we are ready - but they won’t!"
Assuming Trump is being legitimate (not saying he is) why wouldn't the EU want this?
Don't negotiate with economic terrorists.
"One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."
Yeah, like people do with North Korea.
"One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."
Because absolutely unfettered free trade without any degree of regulatory normalization is a disaster in the making. And in this particular case, even ignoring that he doesn't really mean it, it would give POTUS (or the EU but since this is Trump and we've already seen what his idea of "free trade" looks like with Canada, mostly POTUS) a stick to threaten the EU with due to the disruption and damage which would be caused be even threatening to reimpose barriers afterwards. The horrendously large number of parties involved isn't the only reason the WTO's efforts to reduce barriers moves at such a sclerotic pace. It's also because for it to be sustainable, such policies need to be implemented gradually and incrementally.

It really does now look like President Donald J. Trump, and markets are plunging. When might we expect them to recover?
Frankly, I find it hard to care much, even though this is my specialty. The disaster for America and the world has so many aspects that the economic ramifications are way down my list of things to fear.
Still, I guess people want an answer: If the question is when markets will recover, a first-pass answer is never.
Under any circumstances, putting an irresponsible, ignorant man who takes his advice from all the wrong people in charge of the nation with the world’s most important economy would be very bad news. What makes it especially bad right now, however, is the fundamentally fragile state much of the world is still in, eight years after the great financial crisis.
It’s true that we’ve been adding jobs at a pretty good pace and are quite close to full employment. But we’ve been doing O.K. only thanks to extremely low interest rates. There’s nothing wrong with that per se. But what if something bad happens and the economy needs a boost? The Fed and its counterparts abroad basically have very little room for further rate cuts, and therefore very little ability to respond to adverse events.
Now comes the mother of all adverse effects — and what it brings with it is a regime that will be ignorant of economic policy and hostile to any effort to make it work. Effective fiscal support for the Fed? Not a chance. In fact, you can bet that the Fed will lose its independence, and be bullied by cranks.
So we are very probably looking at a global recession, with no end in sight. I suppose we could get lucky somehow. But on economics, as on everything else, a terrible thing has just happened.

DoJ admits Trump lied in a speech to Congress:
https://www.lawfareblog.com/justice-...t-trump-speech
Trump's lawyers lied to Mueller to help protect Trump against an obstruction charge:
https://www.nybooks.com/daily/2018/0...en-he-knew-it/
(they claimed Trump had no idea Flynn was under investigation when he asked Comey to let Flynn go)
"One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."
The mental gymnastics the trumpster morons are using to justify Trump's claim that we need an ID to buy groceries is simply
"In a field where an overlooked bug could cost millions, you want people who will speak their minds, even if they’re sometimes obnoxious about it."
Trump is publicly calling for his AG to shut down an investigation in which his own campaign is implicated and from which said AG has recused himself. But, you know, fuck laws and ethical standards. Let's get the immigrants.
"One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."
Why not? Trump's Tariffs and quasi-trade wars have caused harm, especially to farmers. So he proposes a multi-billion dollar farm bail-out, which they don't want (Golden Crutches). But what about the other producers and exporters, hmm? He calls Harley-Davidson a traitor. Then he criticizes the Federal Reserve for raising interest rates slightly, something presidents are NOT supposed to do. And now his Treasury Dept. is "considering" how to bypass congress in order to give another tax break to the rich, by changing the definition of "cost basis" in capital gains.
Trump believes only HE can make the best deals, and he expects to do that unilaterally. He rips up multi-lateral trade deals, ignores WTO rules, misuses/abuses a loophole about "national security" to threaten our allies....
Since we've put an irresponsible and ignorant man in charge of the world's greatest economy, who thinks the presidency gives him ultimate authority, alongside a feckless congress.....how is that NOT bad news?

I'm just going to leave this here. Those of you who aren't completely lost will recognize this for the nauseatingly mendacious demagoguery that it is, and feel either crippling shame or gut-wrenching fremdschämen.
Astonishing that some posters here decided this was preferable to voting for Clinton--a man who lies in pretty much every sentence of every speech, spits on the US's most important democratic institutions and burns its bridges with its staunchest allies, all for personal gain. What a stupid decision.
