"Trump's Trade War" with China is not a good idea.

Trade wars usually hurt all parties involved, and many others not involved. In the end, no one wins a "Trade War."

Proof Trump has "lost sanity." I order all companies"

"Our great American companies are hereby ordered to immediately start looking for an alternative to China, including bringing......"

He makes himself look like the fool that he is. He cannot order companies to do this. This is the language of an uninformed "ignoramus".

Proof you want? Proof you get: 2 examples that Trump is not all there.

1. Yesterday, Trump called the head of the NRA Wayne La Pierre to say that background checks are no longer being considered as a possible solution to the killings from guns.

President Trump went on Twitter on Wednesday to quote a conservative radio host and known conspiracy theorist who praised him as “the greatest President for Jews” and claimed that Israelis “love him like he is the second coming of God.”

In his tweets, Trump thanked Wayne Allyn Root for “the very nice words.”

Cardinal George Pell loses appeal against conviction for child sex abuse

Source: CNN

Hilary Whiteman, CNN Updated 8:07 PM ET, Tue August 20, 2019
Melbourne (CNN) -- Former Vatican treasurer George Pell will remain in prison after an Australian appeals court rejected the disgraced cardinal's appeal against his conviction for sexually assaulting two 13-year-old choirboys in the mid-1990s.

The most senior Catholic official to be convicted of child sexual assault, Pell was sentenced in March to six years in prison, with a non-parole period of three years and eight months, for an attack described by Chief Judge Peter Kidd as "breathtakingly arrogant."

Lawyers for the 78-year-old cardinal immediately appealed his conviction, and in June presented 13 "solid obstacles" to a guilty verdict on all five charges, including that it was "not possible" for Pell to be alone while robed after Sunday mass and for no one to notice the boys were missing at that time.

On Wednesday, the panel of three senior judges rejected that submission, accepting that it was possible for the jury to have found Pell guilty beyond reasonable doubt.

How big is Greenland? Many maps do not show accurate size.

Alaska is 663 000 square miles
Greenland is 836 000 square miles.

Therefore Greenland is about 170,000 square miles larger than Alaska (about 27 percent larger than Alaska)
Greenland's population is approximately 57,000 people.

Just for information. It is also farther north than Alaska. Yes, from a geographical view, Greenland is part of North America, but historically and politically it has been often associated with Europe (due to history and politics)

Donald Trump has done something special: exposed the Republican party as, "The Selfish Party"

...Trump is the center of self-centered thinking. He thinks only of himself all the time. And since he is their leader, who is willing to step up and criticize him? For the good of the country, is anyone in the Republican Party willing to do so? No, very few critics of the selfish boss over there. Who is willing to tell the total truth about "Mr. Selfish? Just us. We all know the truth. Putin's toy. He cares only about himself and his applause.
..Sad, but think of it this way. Trump could be destroying the Republican Party forever. He is doing the world and the country a favor. He will get rid of himself, his family and the puke party. Oh sure, he will be on Fox fake news. But he is so bad, who is going to watch? Sure, his base, but they will fade away with the puke party. In not many will admit they supported the selfish asshole.

A very simple reason why Epstein is not alive today: He knew too much.

Maybe that is incorrect or correct, but we will never know what he knew about who.

About Stuart G

I thought I knew a lot, and I found out... how little I knew about what I know. And how much more there is to learn, if I listen and read what others have to say.
