One day you are talking Trump, the next day you have a back injury. Weird

Karma is a bitch, isn't it Lindsey. You talk sh*t about Trump and now the Gods are angry at you.

Looks like you won't have to refuse that White House invite after all.

Hey Lindsey, you should start a Rap band or promote BLM even more .

Very soon we'll see the Liberal Media saying that Russia and Trump colluded to injure her...

Derp.

15 mins is hardly a weekend, but while we are on the subject of ratio why don't you just end the topic by finding all of your past posts that are critical of Fox news and post them, I'm sure if they exist that you will. Then we can talk about "ratio".

You seem to be purposefully forgetting the original charge:

Fake News CNN made a vicious and purposeful mistake yesterday. They were caught red handed, just like lonely Brian Ross at ABC News (who should be immediately fired for his “mistake”). Watch to see if @CNN fires those responsible, or was it just gross incompetence?

1:02 PM - Dec 9, 2017

This would be a GREAT story for CNN...

China Cutting Tariffs after Visit by President Trump
http://dailysignal.com/2017/12/08/china-cutting-tariffs-just-weeks-trumps-asia-trip/

"China has released a long list of dramatic tariff cuts on a range of imported consumer goods. In fact, over 200 different products will see an average reduction of approximately 10 percent."

..."China’s unilateral decision to cut tariffs, however modest, should prove beneficial for its major trading partners, including the United States. The cuts will also benefit the people of China, allowing them greater access to a variety of products at more competitive costs."

Thanks Obama.

Based on your own links, there is some interesting insight:

Because of high tariff rates on many foreign goods, many middle and upper class Chinese consumers would often fly overseas to combine holidays with shopping sprees. The high tariffs also contributed to the rise of grey market sellers peddling foreign goods at lower rates. Individuals known as daigou travel overseas to purchase foreign products, bring them back into China without paying import tariffs, and sell them at lower rates than branded stores.

By reducing tariffs, the Chinese government hopes to encourage more consumption within China’s borders, rather than watching wealthy Chinese spend their money abroad. And China’s thriving e-commerce sector might be one of the biggest beneficiaries of this development.

So I doubt the Chinese intention was to appease the US, it is an opportunistic move that will help them collect import duties that otherwise were lost. I would also guess that they are allowing foreign imports to the extent that national output cannot cope with internal demand.
Hopefully this will be win-win trade for all.

China was tired of rich / middle class Chinese traveling to buy dairy products from other countries.

Nothing to do with negotiations or diplomacy

A lot of local people, including native Americans, wanted the land returned to state also.

I hear they want to take land away from Cascade-Siskiyou also ... for timber harvesting, logging... what's the local sentiment on that?

If I lived in China and could afford to go out of the country to buy dairy products, I'd continue to do so regardless of lower local prices. China has a less-than-stellar record on food safety, to say the least.

p.s. would like to see the sources for your quotes.

I used the link under "10 percent" in your own quote.

The Gov has too much control. They are our forest and should be managed locally by state and county Government.

Fed's spend too much time listening to hippies and not people who actually manage forest.

A fire-fighter friend posted a picture on facebook with acres of trees blown over in a storm. Not really unusual because softwood trees have shallow roots.

Local's want to harvest the wood. Feds', Environmentalist want to let it lay. It will all burn when the next lightening storm comes.

We have lightening without rain EVERY year.

Not dry but you get the idea.

Probably more about Chinese not being able to meet demand than luxury dairy products. It's not a coincidence that US Gov has been negotiating / pressuring them to lower tariffs.

So in this case the Feds taking land back for timber harvesting and logging is a good thing? Or are there concerns that the fed taking the land back will have negative implications for the locals? (i.e. Giving the rights to non local businesses.)
