You didn't think he'd make it?  Or that it was even that close?

according to an article I skimmed, all republicans voted for him, so those 10 must have been democrats. not too surprising.

If there are 10 dems on committee it's not that interesting.

Hey Mono or Xiacob:  in Chinese culture, what's an appropriate gift to offer in return when somebody gives you something incredibly invaluable right out of the blue, for no reason whatsoever?

I really don't give a shit, because I don't have any;  the concept of ExxonMobil backed by the State Department just sounds like profit.  Ridiculous Putin profit.

if trump lays off the NAFTA stuff and continues his pro-corp approach, while keeping his protectionism to claiming victory for things he didn't do, and he manages to somehow help out the working class, then trump might end up doing pretty well

I mean, the progressives might get sacrificed on the altar of a wealthier america, but there you go ya know it happens gl niggas

Depends a bit on the relationship you have and the context of the gift.

Are you talking about your personal life, or about Trump giving away negotiations leverage for no apparent reason?

If it's Trump and he is on the ball then the expectation is that it will be reciprocated somewhere. If it's through ignorance, then you just take advantage I'd think...
