Tell me something they censor, let's see if I can find videos showing that you're wrong.

All kinds of conservative, non liberal stuff. You know it. They have nice graphic beheading videos yet, Robert Spencer and Alex Jones get cut off. So is Alex Jones worse than this girl? What about all the gun nut videos? I haved watched those too, some guy states that Youtube won’t allow him to upload them.

Stuff like this is really bordering on how to break a law. “How to guide to bullshit immigration agents”, basically a thinly veiled video suggesting people lie in order to gain entry and become a future illegal alien. Which if you research it, most illegals came in legally via plane.

The surprising part was the foreign embassy agents incompetence of why they got a visa to get on the plane in the first place, quite a “story” they told in their home countries.

Quoting VOX is about the dumbest thing a person can do.

Nobody from vox talks in the video, and it's not deceptive, so who gives a fuck

Funny how the Republicans change.

Republicans haven't changed. Some people, mostly politicians, say humans cause climate change and want to transfer huge amounts of money and power from individuals to the Gov.

Others don't.

Well, how about quoting Patriot Post.us or some random freebie wordpress.com blog in regards to the science about climate change.

Trying to sneak that in there. It's mostly scientists. The economy doesn't have to be wrecked to make some changes, see that as new opportunity. Not sure when Republicans got so scared, I know that isn't everybody.

Dow taking a hit today, seems it's not clear about what is going on with China.

Ah, this is why:

The negotiations with China have already started. Unless extended, they will end 90 days from the date of our wonderful and very warm dinner with President Xi in Argentina. Bob Lighthizer will be working closely with Steve Mnuchin, Larry Kudlow, Wilbur Ross and Peter Navarro.....

......on seeing whether or not a REAL deal with China is actually possible. If it is, we will get it done. China is supposed to start buying Agricultural product and more immediately. President Xi and I want this deal to happen, and it probably will. But if not remember,......

....I am a Tariff Man. When people or countries come in to raid the great wealth of our Nation, I want them to pay for the privilege of doing so. It will always be the best way to max out our economic power. We are right now taking in $billions in Tariffs. MAKE AMERICA RICH AGAIN
Donald J. Trump‏Verified account @realDonaldTrump 4h

One day he was talking like we had some sort of deal, market goes up. But it's Trump, so you can't believe a word he says. Next day, it's if a deal happens type of stuff.

Why would I be salty? I think it's funny you talk about what sources people use, like you're completely unaware of where you get your info from. haha, then I just noticed, you used it again. Really, on the homepage - Study finds humans came from one pair, with a picture of Noah's Ark. So when it comes to stuff like this, I just don't take you seriously at all. A science/climate/reality denier who believes in junk like birther conspiracies.

Cambria calls for USA to impose tariffs on Chinese quartz
https://www.stonespecialist.com/new...mbria-calls-usa-impose-tariffs-chinese-quartz

TL;DR, China devalued currency, subsidized Chinese manufacturers and started dumping product on the market,.

Cambria employees about 2K people, invested heavily in tech and worker efficiency and were killing it. Then Chinese Gov started dumping quartz on US market. Stoped Cambria expansion in 2017 / 18.

US trade commission agreed China was dumping below manufacturing cost and supported new tariffs. Effect on US economy? Your fancy quartz counters will cost more.

Not all tariffs are bad. The fight over free / fair trade with China is one mostly ignored for two decades.

Some new hypocrites to pick on.

Preaching to the rest of us, meanwhile Blooperg and Streyer and Gore fly in their private jets.

https://www.apnews.com/bacce76099b24348a64d9859f2aac1b6

"Billionaire former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said in Iowa Tuesday he would do everything he can to make climate change the defining issue of the 2020 Democratic presidential nominating campaign, despite resistance in regions of the country his party would likely need to recapture the White House."

"“I will do everything for sure to try to make it the issue,” Bloomberg told reporters after visiting a solar-electric panel installation company in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. “Every place I have gone, people always want to talk about the climate. They always want to bring up the fact that I’ve been very active in closing coal-fired power plants.”

Michael Bloomberg, the new Climate change Science major flying around with his polluting
private Falcon jet.

Obscene carbon "Footprints" with a bunch of houses and stuff everywhere is much larger than most neighborhoods in the midwest. Why doesn't he donate more money to save the Eskimos from melting ice caps?

https://www.businessinsider.com/the...-as-he-is-said-to-be-a-very-good-tipper-11115

"Speaking of private jets, Bloomberg, who has his pilot's license, owns a trijet Dassault Falcon 900B on a Bermuda registry. Though Dassualt no longer makes this model, its updated cousin, the 900LX, retails for $42 million.

He's also passionate about helicopters. He owns a six-seat Agusta SPA A109S — which he is fond of flying — worth $4.5 million. Bloomberg is said to be an excellent pilot and received his flying license in 1976.

But his love of aircrafts doesn't stop there. He's near the top of the exclusive waiting list for an Agusta Westland AW609 Tilt-rotor, a futuristic plane/helicopter hybrid. When it's delivered to Bloomberg in 2016, it could reportedly cost him up to $30 million."

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/may/27/monica-crowley-tom-steyer-climate-change-hypocrite/

"Most leftists operate in a haze of hypocrisy, blinded by a total lack of self-awareness. They preach sanctimoniously to the rest of us about how we should lead our lives, usually without a compulsion to lead their lives in similar fashion."

"renewable “clean energy” and to conserve whenever possible, environmental spokesmodels Al Gore and Leonardo DiCaprio fly on private jets to “climate conferences” and President Obama hikes the White House thermostat to nearly 80 degrees in the winter because he’s “from Hawaii.”One of the worst offenders of climate hypocrisy is billionaire leftist and climate “activist” Tom Steyer."


https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/b...e-climate-activist-steyers-ridiculous-rewrite

"It’s a nice story, but completely inaccurate. In reality, Steyer was working with fossil fuel investments until 2012, and did not fully divest from them until June 2014.

If Steyer actually realized that climate change was a serious issue way back in 2004, that means he spent an egregiously hypocritical eight years profiting from his work at Farallon Capital Management, a hedge fund Steyer founded that invested in coal mining and oil and gas companies.

According to Reuters, Steyer’s Farallon funded buyouts of coal mines and plants quadrupled Indonesia’s coal production between 2002 and 2012, and “triggered worries among environmentalists about pollution and carbon emissions.”
