Winning

Nafta sucked and needed to be updated.

This is a win for US, Mexico and Cananda....no losers. That's what good trade is about.

LOL, right .Read the article.

LOL, right .Read the article.

Oh....China is the big loser for sure.

We've done new trade deals with South Korea, Mexico, Canada and the EU...China was hoping the EU was gonna bail them out. Nobody is playing ball with them.

G1, this is a good deal for the country and our closest trade partners. You should be happy. Don't be a lil ODB Jr

Giantone is in the political thread, its officially ruined now. I'm off to my cult meeting.

G1 IS the political thread!

BTW,it's called a Klan rally and it's being held in Santee this weekend. ;)

You deserve a legitimate response instead of my usual sarcasm...

nice race injection. GDP growth, low unemployment, fairer trade agreements, prosecution of powerful men who have abused their position of trust while in power, all of these are good for the whole country regardless of race.

You can choose to remember what you want but your own party has accused Trump of race baiting. Let's be honest, he wouldn't have won the election if he hadn't.
There are others following his lead and that is really what is a shame.
You want to talk about GDP Growth and Trade Agreements, Great! Unfortunately guys like DeSantis are sounding the "Racism Dog Whistle"(this is a thing now I guess) to get elected and he probably will. I sit here impatiently waiting to for normal citizens who are Republicans to stand up to their own bullshit. Aren't you tired of getting grouped with these bigots?




I know it's a liberal brainwash to make it sound like everything must be about race, but the country having a strong economy is simply a good thing, no racial overtures required.
For a strong economy to be a good thing, it has to be available to all Americans not just wealthy white males.

...

First - solidly low unemployment numbers across the spectrum of race and class does seem to show that it is available to all Americans.


Second,
{tl;dr - don't believe the lie of the narrative that conservatives hates blacks, it's just not true.}

And this may be an unpopular statement, but it is my belief. No group, as a whole, has been more lock step with the democratic party than African Americans, and yet they suffer the most from poverty, family separations, violence against their men. The democratic party portrays a false narrative of republicans as bigots, and haters, when the Klan was filled good ole democrats. They lie and decieve young african americans, and in turn keep them needing government handouts. You believe what you believe, but I know the vast majority of conservatives and libertarians aren't rascists.

Median household income in the United States in 2017, by race or ethnic group (in U.S. dollars)

• Median household income by race or ethnic group 2017 | Statistic
https://www.statista.com/statistics/233324/median-household-income-in-the-united-states-by-race-or-ethnic-group/

according to Pew: http://www.people-press.org/2018/03/20/1-trends-in-party-affiliation-among-demographic-groups/2_3-14/
Whites are 51/43 rep/dem
Hispanics are 63/28 rep/dem (this pol is mar 2018)
Blacks are 84/8 rep/dem

And yet the urban centers that the democrats control are havens for violence, poverty, and family breakups.

Kanye West actually took a lead on this (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/30/arts/music/kanye-west-donald-trump-snl.html)over the weekend:
...
In footage from the crowd posted to the comedian Chris Rock’s Instagram account, Mr. West can be seen musing on his support of President Trump and urging, “We need to have a dialogue and not a diatribe.”

Mr. West, who is known for delivering similarly improvised addresses during his concerts, said he is often asked how he can support President Trump because “he’s racist.” “If I was concerned about racism,” Mr. West said, “I would’ve moved out of America a long time ago.” He said Democrats were responsible for a plan to take “fathers out the home and promote welfare.” The rapper also mentioned his long-teased presidential aspirations for 2020 and referred to the “one-sided” liberal nature of the entertainment world as the “S.N.L.” cast stood stoically behind him.

Democrats have parlayed the handout state into a means as keeping African Americans tied to their strings.

Clarence Thomas said it well, as the democrats in the Senate acted like the real KKK
And from my standpoint as a black American, as far as I'm concerned, it is a high-tech lynching for uppity blacks who in any way deign to think for themselves, to do for themselves, to have different ideas, and it is a message that unless you kowtow to an old order, this is what will happen to you. You will be lynched, destroyed, caricatured by a committee of the U.S. -- U.S. Senate, rather than hung from a tree.

G1 IS the political thread!

BTW,it's called a Klan rally and it's being held in Santee this weekend. ;)

Sweet, I haven't got out that far east in a minute. Heard Santee is beautiful this time of year.

lol Kanye is a fucking jackass

Is it possible that most Republicans aren't racist, yet most racists are Republican?

I say this knowing there's no way to quantify how many Republicans are racist.

lol Kanye is a fucking jackass

I’m really surprised people haven’t picked up on what Kanye doing. But folks are eating it up.
