Trump says tariffs on Mexico suspended indefinitely...

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump announced late Friday that he had suspended plans to impose tariffs on Mexico, tweeting that the country "has agreed to take strong measures" to stem the flow of Central American migrants into the United States. But the deal the two neighbors agreed to falls short of some of the dramatic overhauls the U.S. had pushed for.

Yet, the opposite news was a catastrophe. Why is that, in your considered opinion on US politcs?

Don't think it's US politics - it's just Trumps MO: make up a problem, claim you solved it, take to twitter. He's a class act

The Trump Doctrine

1. See a problem
2. Make it significantly worse
3. Threaten punishment
4. Get a couple of concessions
5. Declare total victory
6. Walk away from the problem

Rinse, repeat.

It’s so clever the way you do that, then say nothing. Probably similar to your cross examinations. (Assuming you even get to do those.)

What's there to say except "you're tiresome" in new and inventful ways?

Thank you for noticing how hard I try to keep you amused and entertained.

Anyone else hear that these terms were actually agreed to months ago? In other words, all the drama is just more Trump bullshit?

Trump uses this as the reason we don't need the wall now.
Not now but down the road a bit. Bank on it. He'll give some bs numbers about immigration that will get fact checked and proven wrong but it matter cuz it never matters. His base will agree with him and call it a win.

I laughed. Kind of surprised me considering the source.

4 More Types of People Who Should Not Go To Law School


2. People who like to argue. There are too many people who decided to be a lawyer because they were told by others (usually family and friends) that they are good at arguing. The problem with these people is that most of them do not realize how they are winning their arguments.

Some win their arguments through eloquent and coherent writing and speaking. They get their points across concisely, backed by credible evidence. These people are likely to do well in law because whether they win or lose, they will be respected by their peers.

But others “win” arguments by outshouting or out-talking their opponents usually with logical fallacies, ad hominem attacks, and just plain gibberish. Or they bust some dope rhymes that may get them a spot on BET’s Freestyle Friday. Their opponents usually give up out of frustration. This type of “winning by exhaustion” will not get you very far in law school or in law practice. Try that with a judge and you can expect sanctions or even contempt charges.

That’s not even the worst part. Half of the time, lawyers are not arguing before a judge or with opposing counsel. They argue with their clients, bosses and co-workers. And sometimes they have to keep their mouths shut unless they want to get fired.

If you run into someone who wants to go to law school because they like to argue, educate them as to how lawyers argue in legal proceedings. Be sure to tell them that snark and wit alone will not win cases. Or try introducing them to the chronic master debaters in the comments section below. The commenters will be more than happy to school them about their likelihood of getting a good job with their 147 LSAT score

You may very likely be right.

That seems to be the state of things, according to the NYT.

Increasingly, I am judging Trump efficacy of policy in inverse proportion
to the anguished cries of, "Oh no he didn't!"

I find it amusing that the howls against Trump are because he's succeeding. Somehow those successes are failures in the eyes of the woke.

In this particular case, Trump secured a signed agreement with Mexico. The Left is claiming that it was agreed to months ago.

So?

Does that mean it's not an agreement between the US and Mexico?

I would not be surprised at all if this is exactly what happens.

Trump has said in the past that even if illegal entry drops off the wall will still be needed to prevent wholesale invasion during some future event. Apparently you weren't listening. You see, self defense is all about deterrence.

Or in your case, get frogged and hide from ISIS.

It stands to reason and only a Democrat would be dumb enough to say otherwise. So have a Happy Beto Ball Lick Day.

He has said lots of things in the past and then denied saying them when the past became inconvenient. It's part of who he is so it's not really his fault he's like that but it is your fault for thinking his word means a damn thing.
