    With as many Democrats as we have, voting for non of the above is about the same as voting Hillary.

    I did it in 2008, voted for no chance. You know who I got. I immediately went in to defensive mode with my retired peers. What are we going to do about our health insurance coverage???
    But there was no way to protect ourselves. Trump hasn't done any shit like that.

    He tried. Tried to eliminate health insurance for about 24 million people so that rich people could get a tax break. He's still trying, if you count playing golf with Rand Paul as trying.

    The repeal efforts without insertion of substantial advantages conducted by "his" party regarding Obamacare, clearly demonstrated to me how did functional US government was and still is.

    Interesting news from Mexico this morning about NAFTA.....they will play the corn card.....all the Midwestern corn farmers stand to lose 2.6 billion in corn exports to Mexico as they look to Brazil, Argentina and themselves to grow or purchase corn elsewhere.....those farmers voted for Trump and now we may face losing our main export source for our farmers........make America lose again Donald.....the power of a Trump tweet can end with disastrous results.....more to come soon......http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/me...ard-in-trade-talks/ar-BBzeLyw?ocid=spartandhp

    Mexico willing to cut its nose off to spite its face.

    http://www.foxbusiness.com/politics...s-farmers-say-mexico-needs-american-corn.html

    Mexico currently buys nearly all its corn from the U.S., totaling a quarter of all U.S. corn exports.

    This is while we are part of NAFTA and it's nonsense to think American corn will tip the scales over their own domestic production or importing from their southern neighbors....it IS political thanks to some stupid posturing by our administration.....never underestimate an underdog or assume their govt is stupid...Trump once again leading with taunts thinking it's a symbol of power..your Fox news link caters to his TV viewing preferences though. The only media outlet he likes...nothing strange about Fox news propping up Trump's position...it's where he gets his world views.

    Mexico is experiencing a surge in economic growth and attracting businesses...sort of a renaissance there these days.

    Nah....concern without losing perspective...hysteria is the reefer madness campaign....good scapegoat though...funny how a vast majority of citizens have the same concerns no matter how much Nat'l Enquire bs gets printed. I haven't read the cover of Rolling Stone in years....that was interesting.

    He's mellowed out some. But he's still bitter.

    The not so subtle point here is that he's backpedaling.

    As someone who reads Matt Taibbi regularly and has posted his articles in the forum he is not bitter or mellowed. He just calls things like he sees them and that is refreshing.

    Here are some recent articles by him that are also interesting.

    Why the Russia Story Is a Minefield for Democrats and the Media
    Russia scandals have bloodied the Trump administration. But it carries dangers for those reporting it

    http://www.rollingstone.com/politic...minefield-for-democrats-and-the-media-w471074



    Trump the Destroyer
    Trump has stuffed his Cabinet with tyrants, zealots and imbeciles – all bent on demolishing our government from within
