It isn’t leverage if you discourage American companies from importing products we need here.
And in the zero-sum game of American business, if a company can make money by raising prices on goods and having customers pay the increased import costs, they’ll do it.

KERNEN: What you hear is tariffs are a tax on US companies, and when you tax something you get less of it. How do you dispute that?
NAVARRO: As soon as you add that third party -- foreign countries -- it becomes not a tax but a form of leverage and a beautiful thing

Where does the rest of the power come from, Burgum?
Burgum: "The wind energy only works when the wind is blowing. And at times when we've needed it the most along the east coast during the coldest days and hottest days, we've had 2% of the entire grid being powered by wind. You still need all the rest of the power."

I don’t know enough and don’t have all the numbers - I was on my parents’ insurance in 2010 - but hasn’t the ACA been modified from its original design? SCOTUS removed the individual mandate, for example?

LANKFORD: In 2010, before Obamacare kicked in, the normal healthcare premium was $215.
HUNT: Right. But insurance companies could refuse to cover you for a preexisting condition
LANKFORD: That's true.

Yes, it’s illegal. Like changing it to Department of War, like ten thousand other things. Part of the Trump strategy is to break the law and convey “the rule of law is weak and feminine and laughable and should be overridden by Our Guy.” Trump is fundamentally anti-law.

A non-zero amount of anti-trans/anti-pronoun sentiment has to Bebe sure all those old people can’t say “yes sir/ma’am” with certainty anymore and it bothers them.

And? And? Are we helping people with their mental wellbeing? Can I stop giving the military money for bombs and pay for dicks and balls instead? I'd much rather the government use my money for dicks, please.

I took my friend with only a high school degree to a fancy party and saw his face freeze up at the terminology being used by the elite. “Hebephile?” “Ephebophile?” I quickly asked him if he wanted to go somewhere else and he anxiously nodded yes and so we went to a Trump rally.

One side thinks screaming conspiracy theories is not only "discourse" but also has equal validity as facts.
The issue is not that we don't talk to each other. It's that some people think that "talking" means getting to debate your existence, and that's abusive and controlling.
CNN has a show with a similar line. That the problem with this country is we just aren’t talking to each other.
It’s the kind of diagnosis that a toddler would land on.
