where is TSA going to kick the can next?
Where (we) always kick it:::
I'm looking forward to 2040 Republicans running on the promise to put the Clintons in prison postmortem.
Where (we) always kick it:::
It's enough just to deny them going back in that House leading that Hussein.
ha, ha.
wrong
criminals eventually get prosecuted and in the end
the story will be the same -
the traitor criminal will whine and cry foul and the wise words of
”baretta”
will haunt you;
”if you can’t do the time-don’t do the crime”
Pack a lunch, fart-face, a big one.
We got the con, us, we whooped that ass, took your cookie, made ya crawl to that phone & call the old man, person-2-person
"For what is a man, what has he got,
If not himself, than he has naught
To say the things he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels."
DJT took you out, Homer, caught your ass tryin' to steal old man Trump's pick-up truck... put that top rung on the curb...."Now, say goodnight."
It's akin, I say it's like when CWEBB turned his back on Horry & started back up that lane.
C'mon, Homer, let's go back in time...
I betcha dollars to donuts it goes in.
tee, hee.

To use a Sinatra lyric and associate it with a piece of coward traitor like Trump
is destroying Sinatras most powerful verse -
and actually is the perfect song to play at a funeral of a man who lived with honor, integrity, honesty and courage.
Trump is none of those. Just wake the up and realize you are brainwashed by a lying con man -
nothing to be proud of at all.
Nothing - at - all.
"my way"
Neh, you're never bashful about your bias so why try to start looking unbiased now?
I've always been pragmatic.
You represent the sour grapes crowd. Christ-a-mighty, boy, you don't get your in' way for the first time in 30 years & you go nutty-nuts. You'll have it back how it was, Tired Old Bag in the WH, all the apples put back on the cart, cart welded to the floor, so, it can never be moved ever again.
But, sweetheart, daddy-O, you lost 8 November 2016, & the old man will be President ever more, just like the 44 before him.
Eat that, Homer, you punk, you.
ha, ha, Homer's a punk!!!
Please, Sinatra was a blowhard, a big baby, & a philanderer just like (45). Media just coddled Frank & tried to run Donald off. Donald got a jack handle outta Don Jr's car, got his back up against a wall & has been beaten your in' asses off ever since. That's Dale on the old man's right shoulder, wielding the tong I brought along with me for the occasion.
CHARGE!!!!!!!!!

What a brainwashed victim you are.
History will confirm your zombie state and we will all remind you - if you don't run away again.
Of course, Media writes our history. But, I don't buy it. No in' way, punk.
You're the ones who ran after Florida. I stood here alone while you punks were licking each other's wounds.
They were selling your , punk.

Trump President.
Not Clinton.
no, you're about as dogmatic as it gets
No, Blake. You're thinking of yourself, who is just about as intractable as it comes. Look over my & you'll fine pragmatism up the ying-yang.
You want to be like me, but, you're incapable.

Trump’s Steel Industry Claims
The tariffs on steel imports benefited domestic steelmakers, but the president exaggerates the changes for the industry.
‘Steel Was Dead’?
The claim: “And, by the way, steel — steel was dead. Your business was dead. Okay? I don’t want to be overly crude. Your business was dead. And I put a little thing called ‘a 25% tariff’ on all of the dumped steel all over the country. And now your business is thriving.” —
The facts: The 25% tariff on most imported steel helped the U.S. steel industry: Prices went up (though they’re now a little below what they were when Trump took office); productivity has increased; imports decreased. But Trump exaggerates the before-and-after picture.
The industry wasn’t “dead” before the tariffs, and there weren’t signs it was “going out of business”
before his election, as he claimed on July 15. “If I hadn’t been elected, you would have no steel industry right now. It would be gone,” he said at a “Made in America” event at the White House.
It’s safe to say the entire U.S. steel industry would not be “gone” had Trump not been elected.
“The US industry has been vibrant, innovative and dynamic for the last 40 years,”
We’ll look at several metrics for the industry: production, prices, imports and capacity utilization.
Production. Production is up since 2016, but it has been higher as recently as 2014.
Prices. The 25% tariffs on imported steel then boosted prices in the U.S., at least for 2018, which was good news for steel companies’ bottom lines.
With the price e, the mills were “minting money,” the editorial argued, “to the detriment of America’s consumers and steel-reliant industries.”
Ford Motor Co. said its tariff costs on steel and aluminum amounted to $750 million in 2018, and
Caterpillar said it would raise prices in the second half of 2018 to offset higher costs due to the tariffs.
The annualized numbers show prices jumping from $687 per U.S. ton in 2017 to $918 in 2018 and back down to $682 this year.
prices staying around $660 per U.S. ton in coming years, which is close to the average price from 2010 through 2017.
Capacity. The boost in price due to the tariffs and subsequent boost in cash flow for U.S. companies also prompted capacity expansions. “A lot of capital is being invested in the steel industry right now,”
U.S. steel mills were operating at 80.3% of their capacity in the fourth quarter of 2018, according to figures provided to us from the American Iron and Steel Ins ute. An AISI spokesman said capacity for the first half of 2019 was 81.2%, and the rates in August also hovered around 80%.
AISI provided quarterly and yearly capability utilization rates dating back to 1994, which show rates well above 80% for most of that time period but not post-Great Recession.
New Steel Mills
The claim: “[W]e didn’t have a new mill built in 30 years, and now we have many of them going up.” — Trump, Aug. 13
The facts: Trump is “completely wrong about that,” Moss said, echoed by other experts.
First River Consulting provided us with charts that show the U.S. steel industry since 1989 has added about 40 million short tons, or U.S. tons, (as opposed to metric tons) of carbon steel capacity (excluding stainless steel).
Moss identified for us 23 new steel mills that added 33 million tons of annual capacity since 1989. Most of the new mills opened between 1992 and 2002. But eight of them have been built since 2007, including these three large-capacity mills:
Six new steel mills with a combined annual capacity of 7.2 million tons have been announced since 2017
U.S. Steel said it would idle two other blast furnaces in the U.S. and one in Europe, and restart production “when market conditions improve.”
In August, it announced it would idle another plant in Indiana this fall.
Steel Jobs
The claim: “We’re putting … our steel workers back to work.” — Trump, at a campaign rally, Cincinnati, Ohio, Aug. 1
The facts: Iron and steel mill jobs have gone up by 4,500 from January 2017 to June, a 5.6% increase, according to the latest figures available from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The level of employment in June — 85,300 workers — was 16% below the 101,700 workers in May 2007, months before the Great Recession.
The long-term trend for the industry has been a decline in employment, as the chart below shows, but much of that is
due to changes in technology, experts told us.
