Mustache Man is replacing McDonald's as NSA.

Yikes!
Hopefully he is one of those appointments that crashes and burns fast in this administration.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

When you said mustache man, it made me think of his lawyer, the Georgia Peach.

That's a good thing :)

I think we did pretty good in 2003 back on EUOT.

Better than a trade war.

Re: Biden - at least he didn't say he'd do it now, he said "if this was high school."

Doesn't make it much better.  Both guys are crazy jackasses and ought to retire from public life.

Biden has no office. In what way should he retire? But you repeatedly call for Democrats who have no office and are not running for office to retire and go away. Not sure what you mean here short of suicide. :lol:

Not to mention equivocating Bidens occasional gaff with what Trump's daily gaffs but hey one is President the other is playing golf. At least you want the guy who actually has a job to also retire.

Day before steel and aluminum tariffs are set to go into effect, Trump exempts the EU, Argentina, Australia, Brazil and South Korea.

https://www.politico.com/story/2018/03/22/trump-tariff-exemptions-479419

So what really is the point of the tariffs if you're going to exempt everyone you buy steel from anyways?

This is ridiculous  :lol:

Wants to play tough guy in trade, ends up backtracking two weeks later. So it's just China now?

Beat it if you can.

How about
Quote[When a country (USA) is losing many billions of dollars on trade with virtually every country it does business with, trade wars are good, and easy to win. Example, when we are down $100 billion with a certain country and they get cute, don't trade anymore-we win big. It's easy!
