LOL....where do we put Zerohedge?  On par with VOX?

Which is too bad, because some of their financial/market articles are pretty good.

They are good.  I can’t understand shooting the messenger; they were quoting a FB employee.

Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland has praised Mexico's "difficult" concessions to the US regarding vehicle tariffs. The deal paves the way for successful talks as Canada rejoins renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement, Freeland says.

I haven't sought out a comprehensive analysis, but my overall impression is something are better, others not.  My expectation for these deals has always been that Trump makes a big show, and then the other side finally gives him a [very] small victory....then Trump goes off to proclaim he's saving the global economy.

Trump is just someone other leaders are going to tolerate and appease, waiting him out until 2020 or 2024.

the key word is "illegal".......regardless if they commit a crime when they get here, they commit one coming.  

That's a different argument than what he's making.  It really doesn't speak to the "why" behind them being illegal, but that's at least a different conversation.

The argument that we have to stop it because a random one-off commits a violent crime, though, is nonsense.  We don't (or shouldn't) make rules by treating the outliers as the norms.

One of the things he's actually good at is self-promotion, so this makes sense.  I could see this easily being the pattern for the remainder of his tenure, however long that is.

The tens of billions being re-invested into US plant and equipment are all you need to know to understand how well our course has been altered due to the ’16 election.

Well, in part, it's because there's been manipulation of import costs from international manufacturers at the federal level.

You have to be fucking kidding me...

The article only says law enforcement failed to follow procedure, and that's why they're out.

Wonder what the procedure was that they failed to follow.

Without reading any of the articles, my guess would be illegal search.  Probably figured kids were in danger, so go now and make it legal later.  Normally that probably works, except these guys likely had money for good lawyers.

Heard about this last night on national news.....sounded like they had 10 days to do something and missed the deadline.

Whoever's job it was should no longer be employed.

Out on a technicality means they will likely be arrested again.  I bet they will be hard to find

This. The charges must be dismissed without prejudice. No idea why they weren't immediately refiled.

In your dumbass progressiveness of the day, California democrats, including the chairman of the Cali Dem party, are up in arms bc In N' Out donated money to the Cali Republican party. Only fucking losers get upset about this. I guarantee a ton of products I buy and eat donate to the progressives and I don't give a shit as long as you have a delicious burrito bowl or burger. To get upset about a $25k donation is the epitome of TDS.

I feel the same way about movies and television shows with actors and actresses.  You can be as loud as you want.  I don't care.  I'll still watch your movies or shows unless you suck at acting.

Hell, Tom Cruise is a scientology nutjob and I still watch his films.

Speaking of which, for a good laugh google the riff between Cruise and Travolta.

Yep, if the food is good, I don't GAF what the ownership's politics/religion/etc. are.

If the acting, music, etc. is good, I don't GAF what the artist's politics/religion/etc. are.

If the athletic contests are entertaining, I don't GAF if the competitors don't seem like great human beings or kneel for the anthem or whatever.

I just sit back and laugh at the OUTRAGE when bitches start bitching.
