[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3128664, member: 5412"] Let's continue. NAFTA and the Unions both contributed to the decline of the rust belt states, but Democratic policies were and continue to be issues that plague cities and their economies. Detroit, Baltimore, St Louis, New Orleans, DC, Seattle, and so on are prime examples of failed policies resulting in high crime, high poverty and high homelessness among the population. How anyone can continue to vote to remain broke and homeless is beyond me but they continue to vote to remain that way. Living on handouts is not living. Back on trade. Trump is fighting for the short game. He has only 8 years to get things right on trade. The last 4-5 or even longer administrations have slowly eroded fair trade in poor negotiations giving other countries a trade advantage. There was a 100% Tariff in the 70's for American built vehicles sold to Korea for example when Nixon was President. This inequality isn't a new thing. Our allies like Great Britain and Germany and Japan were given trade advantages after WWII to build their economies back to normal status. If it were not for the US, they would all be speaking russian now. In fairness we charge Canada some tariffs for their soft wood products like building materials, although its not near as high as they charge us for dairy products. There are more examples, but you get my point I hope. His brashness in his comments and tweets is foreign to other countries vs past administrations, and it puts him in a position of power. When a big bully came up on you in a playground back in the day and threatened you, did you immediately punch the bigger guy in the nose, or did you ask if there was something you could talk about to diffuse the situation? I'm betting like the most of us, you wanted to talk. Trump wins..... The art of the deal. It's worked with Kim, it's working with trade. There is no trade war now. It's the media narrative and politicians way of striking fear into voters and those that watch or listen to their TV programs. Canada, GB and Germany buck up because they have to. They know they have been taking advantage of us for years, and they don't want to lose the revenu. Back to tranny's. I'm not homophobic. I've always said it ain't a real party until the full blown tranny in a boa shows up. But when your doing a tour on an isolated mountain top site with zero access other than helo and your NCOIC is an aggressive homo that likes to watch you take showers in an open enclosure, it puts one into a very bad situation. It took a full, "we are going to mutiny" message from 14 guys to HQ before the situation was handled quietly, and the offender was just moved to another unit. Not right. Nothing different than a male superior subordinating a female because of rank, etc, or a lesbian aggressor. Pruitt. Love the guy again, and your argument that he is stacking the deck with crony's is really not fair. Media BS. How many EPA leaders in the past that were pro warming until that proved to be fake news with false data to create a narrative for democratic donors promoting solar and wind hired anybody that were not their crony's? Zero. Name me one that wasn't. So why would you fault Pruitt for hiring who he does? Just this month, the antarctic recorded the coldest temperatures in history. The climate is warming??? We have discussed and debunked the warmers ad nauseum on this forum so you might want to do some searching for past posts. Nuclear/solar vehicles will never happen without some amazing technology. It's a fantasy. Cost prohibitive. What did that Mars Rover cost? Wind farms would fail in a few months if not for government subsidies, solar farms are not profitable, disposal of them after they are spent is expensive, and the ethanol subsidies would fail in a period of time as well, so how is all that alternative energy helping us? Very little if any in reality. The carbon footprint to produce one wind tower can never be repaid. I'm not against alternative energy resources, but they have to stand on their own back legs without government subsidies. I'm not against a government startup for something promising, but it must carry a time limit. The taxpayers cannot be strapped with unending subsidies like wind and solar. Your example of the Ford and I'll include an example of a Toyota diesel available in Europe would greatly benefit the US in fuel conservation but the EPA's overreaching rules don't allow either into the country because of stupid rules. Pruitt is going to help us on that. Now explain to me how he is pandering to the far right? There are those of us in the middle that are not swayed by the media narrative and don't fall under your classification of far right that choose to research on our own. You have landed on OSA.
