    Why are you afraid of China?

This is why the Hong Kong crisis is so fascinating, because it's the most immediate thing that could possibly unite everyone in common purpose.

    What a fucking fraud and phony.

    Just a reminder that anatta/dukkha/1000 other IDs is a known liar and propagandist.

    Walmart just upped their earnings outlook. This assumes there is no absorbion by business of the 10% tariff,and that there will be no agreement in 2020

His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

    We all know what Trump’s going to do, capitulate, declare victory then move on.

    Trumppers will love it.

    And how many full time employees have they cut back on?

    Go to a Walmart and try to find someone to help you find something.
