They already have access to our markets and have been a member of the WTO since 2001. The negotiations going on only favor the USA.
I’d tariff everything from China 100%.
Id then publicly recognize Taiwan. I’d publicly endorse a defensive pact with Taiwan that I’d try to get Japan and S Korea in on.
Fucj China.

John Kerry should be over. Over a bench in a Federal POUNDHIMINTHEASSPRISON.
We have to beat them. They’ll be itching for a hot war if we don’t.
Trump’s the first POTUS to actually take them on and not treat them like a poor child needing help to develop beyond a third world country.
They have aspirations to become the leading power in the world. Make no mistake about it.
Any trade deal, no matter how good, will give China access to our markets. They’ll use our money to continue their rearmament. Good luck, Taiwan.

Awful. Just awful. We should do no trade with China. The only peaceful China is an economically weak China. I suppose Trump doesn’t mind funding war hungry Marxist’s.

No reason to get involved.

A guy asked if there was money to be made on pot stocks such as what pops up for ads on the internet and I answered him.
I misunderstood. My apologies. And after rereading, you’re not wrong. I wouldn’t invest in any of them yet.

The trouble is it will be nearly impossible to bottle neck pot so a clear cut winner can glean profits. The low cost producers will still be the cartels who grow it outside the borders and do not have to pay US type property taxes, US minimum wage, or have USDA or FDA inspectors oversee cultivation. They already have the land, labor, and skill to grow quality MJ. For a while legal pot will surge ahead due to convenience but will fall behind the black market once the novelty of buying it at Walgreen's has worn off and the "respect" that goes with it. Fees and taxes will make black market pot very appealing to most of America in short order and most of America does not have to travel to a dangerous part of a city to purchase it. Form will be minimally important versus cost. I would bet that Zeneca, Pfizer, and the rest already have plans to capitalize on the processed products once they become legal. The publicly traded companies will no doubt see their value increase but I just don't see a 1986 Microsoft IPO type stock ready to jump from the ground into orbit in short order.
Look, if I want moonshine (and I never do) I go to the liquor store. I have friends how make their own. I mean, people are gonna do what they're gonna do. The question is what should people be imprisoned for doing.

Personally I think they're both going to be very good pros. Hockenson is a better blocker, and unless the Bills bring some guys in via free agency to completely overhaul the position, the only two TE currently on the roster are both converted from other positions and below average blockers, so in the context of this team, I think he's the better fit.
Big huge hard pass on Metcalf at 9. His agility drills were beyond awful. Changing direction is....kind of important at the position and he scored bottom of the barrel.
I haven't seen it yet, but I'll take your word.
Anyways, I'm gonna have fun this draft and not really care who we get because we got the only thing I cared about last year at 7. This year I'll just hop on here and praise Beane for being a genius for whoever he says. He was right on Allen, and that means we finally have a GM that GM's better than I do from my couch for the first time in 2 decades. So I'll just clap for whoever we get.
But bruh, 6'4", 230 lbs, 4.33 40........wow! I understand he dropped a lot of balls though.-

Which is why there’s a big ‘do not operate machinery’ warning on the side of cough syrup.
My point is the point made by Rob about DWH concerns are valid.
The validity of their hesitations does not negate the fact that marijuana was made illegal arbitrarily, and arguably unconstitutionally. It's status as a schedule 1 drug is beyond ridiculous.
Somethings require responsibility. Driving. Guns. Alcohol. Cough syrup. Weed. They require the responsibility of the user. Responsibility and common sense unfortunately cannot be legislated.-

I'm expecting a guard, which is the position that I think Williams will play in the NFL. Saffold in FA and Taylor in round 1 would be my ideal offseason.
Hockenson and Williams probably go in the mid teens. I think Hockenson is the better prospect though.
Yeah, I like him a lot. Right now I'm just gonna sit back and relax and see what FA brings us, and then I'll be able to guess at the Draft. But truly, I think this is a BPA kinda draft. There's not a position I'd get upset about in the first 3 rounds other than safety and QB.

I would definitely take Hockenson over Williams.
I think Taylor should be our number 1 choice. If he is off the board then Metcalf or Oliver should be the pick. If all three are off the board Hockenson should be in play for the selection.
My first reaction is to argue but let’s see what FA brings in.

While I agree with legalization, I think the Dems are mis-calculating here. There are still a lot people who just pass on grass and will be turned off by this.
You can't seriously suggest you'd vote for Pocahontas or Cammy over Trump because of weed laws that are mostly ignored anyway.
No way is Pocahontas the nominee.

He will not be a Bill unless we trade down.
First, I love Hock. But there’s way too much value to be had at 9. Metcalf, Oliver, Jonah Williams. I like Hock at 20-25, but not at 9.

Arizona would be a good team to take him. Controlled environment in a dome.
This little fella is gonna be fun to watch, but how long will he last?

There you go....pot zones you out, reduces your reflex times. Not good things when operating several thousand pounds of machinery at high speeds.
Ok. Sure. So what’s your point? Cough syrup does that too.

The Feds don't control state drug laws, so what difference does it make what the President thinks about it?
I believe it’s an issue that can sway votes

Yes, and those people are called "idiots". I'm sure they also think they drive 'better' after a couple drinks.
They state they stay in their lane well, it’s the speed limit that’s the issue. They’ll be driving 25 in a 50.

Ok, who’s posting Robert Reich tweets? This is why we can’t have nice things.

And he said he believed him. To me it's inconceivable that a captured American prisoner would not be beaten into a vegistative state without Kim Jong Un's knowledge.
In general the question is how much of are moral principles should we sacrifice to appease a brutal dictator? If somehow despite NK lying constantly over the years about denuclearization Trump gets Kim to denuclearize....it's worth it. If not, these summits will go down as textbook "what not to do" when dealing with a dictator as reprehensible as Kim Jong Un.
Albert Finney was the best. I thought both Lithgow and Oldman were fine.
Oldman’s interpretation did NOT show Churchill’s wit or steadfast determination. It was ridiculous on so many accounts. And I hated the movie.

So, I’m watching The Office and I’ve decided I’m going to quit reading Tiberius’ voice with Cleveland from Family Guy. I’m going with Stanley now.

China is a threat the likes of which the world has never seen. They want the pacific, and unchecked, in the next 15 years they’ll take it.
