Got to admit, I'm more than ok with law enforcement keeping an eye on candidates and their teams. I don't care if they're obviously shady or not.

Who watches the watchmen?

China and U.S. put trade war on hold.

If Trump brings peace to Korea AND eliminates the trade deficit with China...

Easing regulations on banks.

I don't know how I feel about that yet. Yay capitalism, but fuck banks.

Easing rules on hunting bears and whatnot.

Not a fan of that one.

Sinkhole at the White House.

Insert your own joke.

The sinkhole is the collapsing tunnel Obama used to sneak the lobbyists in and out that the media pretended to not know about.

I mostly support this one, since they focused generally on regional and smaller banks, rather than on the large ones, and didn't take away much of Dodd / Frank.

NK destroys nuke test site.

Trump might hit imported cars with tariffs.

GOP senator thinks we hit bottom with Trump.

I'm quite certain there's farther we can fall...

Trump can't block people on Twitter.

The internet just got a whole lot uglier. People are going to be spamming some nasty shit to every elected official they can find.

I feel like if China charges at 15% tariff on our autos, we should charge the same back. Apparently we charge 2.5%?
Ellinghorst did add that cars being shipped from the U.S. into Europe faced a 10 percent import duty while European cars into the U.S. faced a 2.5 percent import duty.
What the hell? Why do we allow that?

That's fair. Can we mute him?

Agreed. That's just common sense.

Because our country is run by lawyers who have no idea what they're doing.

Trump's letter to Kim Jong Un about cancelled summit.

Not a bad letter, but not great. Not sure he should have referenced God given the differences in culture. I do like that he's being humble to someone who needs that sort of treatment.

It's not that bad.

I think it was written for a certain audience, and thus, could easily fit your "written by a 10 year old" criteria.

Although, both parties involved act like spoiled 10 year olds, so...

Oh, completely agree, but end of the day, you can simplify most disputes to such childish levels.

He's basically telling him that if he wants this meeting and these concessions he needs to stop talking shit. Pretty dumb to cancel a historic meeting and not express this in person, but I get the sentiment.
