[Mega] MAGA Super Trump Mega Thread

On the tariffs, creates 33,000 steal and aluminum jobs.

And wipes out 179,000 jobs in other sectors.

Morons think tariffs are good.
 
this steel is so bad you have to pay more for it, so that more people will buy the superior steel. yes it doesn't make much sense but like most things in economics i'm sure you can rationalize it somehow

What if more was going on than you were being lead to believe? What might the consequences of bad steel be?

Do you believe in coincidences?

Indeed.

One of the attendees at these conferences speaks to the stickiness of some donor relationships.

Victor Pinchuk, a steel magnate whose father-in-law, Leonid Kuchma, was president of Ukraine from 1994 to 2005, has directed between $10 million and $25 million to the foundation. He has lent his private plane to the Clintons and traveled to Los Angeles in 2011 to attend Mr. Clinton’s star-studded 65th birthday celebration.

Between September 2011 and November 2012, Douglas E. Schoen, a former political consultant for Mr. Clinton, arranged about a dozen meetings with State Department officials on behalf of or with Mr. Pinchuk to discuss the continuing political crisis in Ukraine, according to reports Mr. Schoen filed as a registered lobbyist.

“I had breakfast with Pinchuk. He will see you at the Brookings lunch,” Melanne Verveer, a Ukrainian-American then working for the State Department, wrote in a June 2012 email to Mrs. Clinton.

A previously undisclosed email obtained by Citizens United, the conservative advocacy group, through public records lawsuits shows the name of Mr. Pinchuk, described as one of Ukraine’s “most successful businessmen,” among those on an eight-page list of influential people invited to a dinner party at the Clintons’ home.

Earlier in 2012, Ambassador John F. Tefft wrote to Mrs. Clinton about a visit to Ukraine by Chelsea Clinton and her husband, Marc Mezvinsky, “at the invitation of oligarch, Victor Pinchuk.” Mrs. Clinton replied, “As you know, hearing nice things about your children is as good as it gets.”

In July 2013, the Commerce Department began investigating complaints that Ukraine — and by extension Mr. Pinchuk’s company, Interpipe — and eight other countries had illegally dumped a type of steel tube on the American market at artificially low prices.

A representative for Mr. Pinchuk said the investigation had nothing to do with the State Department, had started after Mrs. Clinton’s tenure and been suspended in July 2014. He added that at least 100 other people had attended the dinner party at Mrs. Clinton’s house and that she and Mr. Pinchuk had spoken briefly about democracy in Ukraine.

No, that's legit, but at this time you can still tell a difference.

Google released some kind of machine learning software. Someone used it to put different people's faces onto other's bodies in video. They are called "Deep fakes." Someone then made an easy to use app to do this and the internet exploded with deepfake porn.

take a look at the differences in props on the republican/democrat primary election in texas.

Republicans, Democrats Add Non-Binding Props to Texas Primary Ballot - NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth

the democrat props are mostly ridiculous to me, especially how they word them. mostly all about wanting free stuff and giving everything to minorities.

also, look at the sheep-like group think they have on every prop vote percentage. amazing.

yes i didn't like those at all... i voted no for a couple just because i didn't like voting yes for everything. make no mistake though - do not misunderestimate the capacity of democratic leadership to dilute and slander the progressive message

The Democratic party is now publicly attacking progressive candidates | Lawrence Douglas | Opinion | The Guardian

In their desperation to win back the House in the 2018 midterm elections, the Democrats have turned to eating their own. How else to make sense of the unhappy drama unfolding in Texas’ 7th congressional district?

The district, which includes much of affluent west Houston, has a Republican incumbent named John Culberson, but was carried by Hillary Clinton in 2016. Culberson, a gun-loving, climate change-denying champion of Donald Trump, is a dreary exemplar of the kind of reactionary outlier who now passes as a mainstream Republican politician. And so the effort to unseat him has attracted a crowded field of seven Democrats, all vying to win the 6 March primary.

Of the seven, the most intriguing – and exciting – is a 40-year-old mother of two named Laura Moser. Moser is exceptionally intelligent; I taught her when she was a student at Amherst College in the late 90s, and she remains in memory as one of the most intellectually gifted students I’ve come across in my career. At 6ft 2in, she literally stands out in a crowd and dazzles with her charisma and quick wit.

...

What is unusual about these attacks is that they issue not from her Republican rival but from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), the campaign arm of Democrats in the US House of Representatives. Concerned that Moser is too liberal to unseat a Trump patsy, the DCCC has embarked in the kind of smear campaign pioneered and popularized by its political opponents.
