Next Monday is supposed to be when the IG report on FISA abuse is out, with the IG slated to testify before Congress a week from tomorrow.

The Daily Beast just published a propaganda piece with Lisa Page where age said she did nothing wrong and Trump was ruining her life. There have been other spin attempts, so the Deep State clearly thinks this report will be bad for them.

As always when there is bad news coming out for the dems, the media will need anther story to cover.

Look for something to happen this weekend or on Monday. Don't be shocked if the IG report doesn't drop on Monday.

Hmmmm. Trump should fight back with some good propaganda of his own. Maybe an update on his big China trade deal? How's that coming along?

I think primarily because the fat orange grease pudding started a trade war with the second biggest economy in the world to get one.

Looks like its working beautifully, China is begging the US for a deal and offering a ton of concessions along the way.

All boosting an already robust US economy. Why U Mad, bro?
 
Signing a trade deal to replace a severely flawed NAFTA would be seen as a win for Trump. Nancy can't have such. Too heck with the people Nancy has sworn to serve.

Yep, she could own this issue and us it as campaign fodder for dems in 2020, but the dems hate Trump and America too much, so here we are.

Interesting perspective.

Here's a pretty reasoned analysis of Trump's trade approach, which is to say describing in detail all of the idiocy and missteps, from the National Review.

I'm sure you won't read it. It's too long and reasonable in its analysis. So here's a few money quotes:

On purposely devaluing your currency to compete with poor countries on labor:

"Being poor is the worst kind of competitive advantage to have, and only two kinds of people pursue that advantage as a matter of national policy. The first kind is tyrants, such as the ones in Beijing, who for years artificially lowered the standard of living of the Chinese people on the theory that the Communist bosses could play a long game in which economic development would happen on their terms and under their control, without much real economic power accruing outside of the state. Keeping people unnecessarily poor in order to consolidate the party’s political power and to maintain a firm nationalist whip hand over politically sensitive industries is a monstrous policy but one that has its admirers in managerial nationalists in the United States both left and right.

This policy also appeals to a second kind of people: idiots."

On Trump expanding his trade war to South America:

"What’s particularly idiotic and dishonest here is that none of this was necessary, and none of it has anything to do with monetary policy in Argentina or Brazil. U.S. farmers have lost market share to the South Americans not because of crafty decisions made in Buenos Aires or Brasilia but because of dumb ones made in Washington by the Trump administration, i.e., by the same cabal of backward, slavering incompetents who now are rolling out this new policy."

In sum:

"Now President Trump proposes to mitigate the effects of his incompetently executed trade war by expanding that incompetently executed trade war. He is trying to cure arsenic poisoning with cyanide.

Who is poorer? American farmers, for one, and others involved in agriculture. (It never seems to occur to anybody that most farmers’ biggest asset, their land, is worth less when its products are cut off from major overseas markets. And the bankers who have accepted that land as collateral have diminished assets, too, as do people invested in those banks, and so on and so forth, throughout the economy in subtle connective tendrils.) If the president is successful in devaluing the dollar, then Americans as a whole will be worse off, too: And if we should happen to devalue our currency to the extent that it falls as fast as the Argentine peso has? Argentina’s inflation rate was above 50 percent in October. Does that sound like the road to victory to you?

But at least we are sticking it to the Chinese, right? Don’t be too sure. Xi Jinping is doing fine, and China’s economy in the third quarter grew at three times the U.S. rate.

Funny kind of “winning” for the Trump administration."

This is just like the man made climate change hoax: When you have to call up 'analysis' from 'experts' to make your case because you don't have any FACTS, you've already lost.

This isn't that hard, brother. Look at your household expenses for this month, then look at what you spent in December 2018. Track the changes.

For the expenses that went up, is a 'trade war' with China to blame?

You should post more.

IG report will be interesting. If it amounts to a nothing burger, like the Mueller Report, what then?

In a legal sense, it can only be a nothingburger. The main aim of the report is to help educate the public n the levels of corrpution within the FBI and DJ.

Durham's investigation is what you need to watch.

Yall be careful this weekend.

Oh wait, @bradleygator...is this still abut you being upset over paying $6 for gas station milk? Price you pay for living in a shithole state run by liberals.

Yall stay safe this weekend. Thankfully, the media can now cover impeachment nonstop so we might be ok.

You have characteristically confused the facts. I buy my milk at the Wholefoods in my leafy, upscale suburb. I suggested that it was you who likely buys milk at the Kangaroo.

So does Whole Foods. Then they slap their label on it and sell it at a 10X markup to liberal goobs like you.

BTW, Nancy has announced new impeachment hearings on Monday. The media has their distraction. Thank goodness.

When you're twice the size of that second largest economy, that's an irrelevant figure.

We have China over a barrel. We could end them, but we're afraid a truly democratic China would be a power house.
