    Yep. And if that doesn't implicate him, the left will need a lot of medical treatments. I hope ObamaCare has a comprehensive stroke management protocol.

    Caterpillar stock is down 7.5% the past month due in part to the tariffs Trump has imposed and jitters about possible trade wars.

    Trump visited W.V. in 2016 and said that he knew more about Caterpillar equipment than the workers. He also promised to use only Catepillar equipment to build his wall across the Mexican border.

    Caterpillar would likely be more interested in a 7.5% higher stock value than a promise by Trump to use its equipment on the Mexico wall.

    To his chagrin, Trump's requested $25 billion for his wall wasn't included in the omnibus package this week.

    Trump: I know 'more about Caterpillar tractors than the people that work there'

    excerpt:

    Trump: “You’re going to be so proud of your president, you’re going to be so proud of your country. You watch.”

    The stocks leading this market plunge tell you this is all about Trump's trade policies
    The market is falling as investors are worried over the prospect of a trade war with China.
    President Donald Trump signed an executive memorandum Thursday that would impose tariffs on up to $60 billion in Chinese imports.

    Hell, the Dow is down 724 points just today after Trump's announcement of the tariffs. Push has come to shove. We'll see how protectionism works out. But investors (aka, donors) don't like it.
    Expect to pay a lot more for what you buy at WalMart. Expect lots of U.S. companies to go out of business.

    Trump has dumped four key tenets of Republican principles: family values, free trade, opposition to deficits, and opposition to Russia. He gave them tax cuts, but that was then and this is now. Elections are coming up, and the Mueller investigation is heating up. We'll soon see if he can get away with all this. The Republicans made their bed, and now have to lie in it--next to Stormy Daniels!

    After last night on Maddow, the collusion issue is solid.

    Oh well then that settles it then. Mueller should have just let her investigate.

    I think she is a law school grad. Very smart woman who has serious investigators working for her and she cites her references.

    Where have you been? John Dowd and HR McMaster just quit their jobs. Trumpy hired deGenova for his new lawyer and is about to take on John Bolton for national security advisor. This could only mean one thing: War with Iran! He wants war with Iran to distract from the Mueller investigation, maybe even fire Mueller during a hit on Iran?

    McMaster out as National Security Advisor, angry neocon warmonger John Bolton in. Bolton hates diplomacy and loves regime change. Bet the Iran deal goes by the boards!

    Another Hawk, Mike Pompeo, as Secretary of State. I smell a war coming on, with Iran or North Korea, or maybe both!

    Not as comprehensive as Scandinavian or even the NHS in England. One of those is "socialist" one of them is not to Fox News. You never hear them bitch about England besides the Muslim no go zones which do no exist. The right does not understand what socialism is. If they did they would see that Ameirca had many socialist polices dating back to the 1950's. A very high tax rate on the wealthy compared to today. Yet people still bought luxury cars and houses bigger than the other guys. Affordable college and jobs that were basically required by law and public opinion to pay livable wages. Yet a hamburger was not $15 or rather the equivalent of that adjusted for the time period.

    Obamacare was a tiny taste of the Democratic socialist idea that public healthcare is a right to all and an actual benefit to a countries happiness and economy. It was not even close to the threat you think it was. And any tax increases are the result of a society where corporations are people and other people are too stupid to stop their greed. It's sad that the right just does not get what almost the entire world gets. Many of those nations having the same freedoms of Americans. A higher tax rate perhaps. But what they also fail to see if the total cost of living compared to income has a better ratio and therefore it balances out.

    I've been off line and away from the news, incommunicado. It'll take me awhile to catch up.

    And the alternative to you is who Fox, Alex Jones?

    Because no one but them says they exist they are never discussed on other media outlets like that. Which one is the "fake news"?

    It is the wisest man who knows there is much he does not know. Of course I don't know everything.
    Your video is not a true area that is free of police intervention or local law which fox often claims. Of course if you ask Muslims some will say they support that. Some might not have, who knows how they edited it. True of any journalism. The video is a result of some immigrants yes. But all my research and personal accounts say this kind of behavior is the exception. Of course I can't deny some cultural tensions. But it's overblown for the sake of a politcal agenda. You can address this issue in a different way and get results.
