    Trump had a meeting with the EU commissioner, the drunken lunatic Jean-Claude Juncker, who believes in reptoid aliens controlling human events.

    The EU has apparently cucked out on all fronts, and is now begging Trump not to bury them.



    Regrettably, Trump is listening to their whining.

    I would have preferred he just nuke Berlin.

    ABC News:

    President Donald Trump announced an agreement with the European Union on tariffs – an effort to dial back what had been an escalating trade feud.

    “We agreed today, first of all, to work together toward zero tariffs, zero nontariff barriers and zero subsidies on non-auto industrial goods,” Trump said during his remarks in the Rose Garden as he stood next European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker. “We will also work to reduce barriers and increase trade and services, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, medical products as well as soybeans. Soybeans is a big deal. And the European Union is going to start almost immediately to buy a lot of soybeans.”

    Trump also indicated that the U.S. will enable the European Union to import more liquefied natural gas from the United States and the creation of a dialogue on standards meant to reduce barriers to trade. As part of the agreement, the U.S. will move to end some of the retaliatory tariffs relating to steel and aluminum.

    “We also will resolve the steel and aluminum tariff issues and we will resolve retaliatory tariffs. We have some tariffs that are retaliatory and that will get resolved as part of what we are doing,” Trump said.



    Juncker echoed Trump’s description of their meeting and said that the EU would hold off on further tariffs as they work with America.

    “We also agreed to work together on the reform of the WTO. This, of course, is on the understanding that as long as we are negotiating, unless one party would stop the negotiations, we hold off further tariffs and reassess existing tariffs on steel and aluminum. This was a good, constructive meeting,” Juncker said.

    Talk about groveling like an abused dog.

    This guy had to have been double-black-out drunk to stand this level of public humiliation. Or maybe the reptoids installed a chip in his brain making him incapable of feeling shame.
    So Trump has gone from tariffs are the greates to let's scrap all tariffs and you're still taking him seriously. This is the North Korea deal without the one page agreement. Tariffs between the EU and America are negligible anyway, 95+% of goods have less than two percent tariffs on them which is less than exporters build into prices to allow for currency fluctuations. Trump will probably row this back soon whenhe finds out that he's agreed to let the Germans sell trucks into the world's biggest most profitable truck market without the 25% tariff that's currently keeping them out.

    The EU have to buy American soybeans. China have moved to buy Brazilian soybeans which used to go to Europe so Europe will now buy the US soybeans that used to go to China, except now they're 25% cheaper due to Trump blowing up the market. And US taxpayers have to make up that 25% in welfare payments to farmers.

    Trump started a trade war with the EU by imposing tariffs, has now shambolically retreated from imposing those tariffs and is now proposing a new version of the TTIP, the treaty he railed against when he was running for prez in 2016. He was getting so much grief from farmers' lobbyists and trade groups he'd taken to pleading with them to stop complaining while he sued for peace:

    When you have people snipping at your heels during a negotiation, it will only take longer to make a deal, and the deal will never be as good as it could have been with unity. Negotiations are going really well, be cool. The end result will be worth it!
    — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 25, 2018

    He was begging his supporters to stop complaining about the tariffs. Like a dog!

Rememeber me saying how powerful they were and the amount of control they have over your life versus politicians? Last wek? Is that still on the shelf?
    We live in interesting times, we'll see what he does with the Fed. Maybe he does away with it altogether, maybe he does nothing, maybe he audits it, maybe he announces himself as King of the Wicker People and wears pants made of ice cream.....we shall just have to wait and see.
    You can't do away with the Fed. You need a central bank. If he keeps putting up more of the kind of people rumored to be getting policy jobs you'll get concrete evidence he doesn't know what he's doing.

    Harsh words
    Harsh words from the craziest member of congress. On one side of this you've got about a dozen fascist-curious House members trying to screw up the Mueller investigation on behalf of their fraudster/money launderer/sex criminal leader and on the other side you've got the entire US system of justice and somehow you believe that the crazy/criminal people are going to be proved right and the US system of justice will be shown to be the real criminals.

It is insane too considering an entry level teacher is a little bit above cleaning a corridor. Getting towards Commie territory and capitalism gone wrong.
    Here is Korean inflation minus food and energy. WWe typically don't include food and energy because their prices are affected by things that have nothing to do with monetary policy or anything else that determines the real level of inflation in an economy, so to get a true level of inflation in an economy they're left out of the measurements.



    What are the economic conditions that will lead to this excess inflation? And what the fuck is stage one collapse? What are the subsequent stages?
    You are very demanding, but being very polite, so I don't mind.

    I think stage one collapse was the type seen in 2008. I don't believe there has been a recovery as such because if there was then interest rates would be about 5% and they are obviously not. The next collapse will come and interest rates will be low and I am not quite sure how the next stages evolve as it is really kind of new territory to be doing this.

    My own attitude is that interest rates should have gone up sooner, that the big banks been divided up and reset, and that a lot of hardship needed to be endured to go back to an honest starting point. It didn't happen and buying of time happened whence the problems being faced.

    I don't have all the answers obviously, but think it very important to be sensible and not be getting into a lot of debt right now.

    Out here the economy is tanking. Massive oversupply of property, record youth unemployment, manufacturing shipped off overseas, and record personal debt. The central bank here is stuck and meanwhile the government has increased the minimum wage 30% in 2 years. Trust me, if I was cleaning toilets on the minimum wage now you can have a pretty good life. I think the same about the UK too actually except they have millions of immigrants competing with you too making it harder. Obviously I am not greedy and don't need 2 holidays a year, a sports car, or a Walrus watch.

    Here they are including food and energy:




    Below two percent for the last six years now.

    Here are private sector earnings:



    Everything is pretty good Miles.


    They couldn't put interest rates up sooner because it would have crashed the economy again. They may sent the economy into recession putting them up now and have to reverse course. The absolute last thing needed is a lot of hardship or austerity or whatever. That would make sense if the economy was a household Miles. If your household income is cut clearly you have to cut your outgoings. But an economy is millions of households. In our economy your spending is my income and vice versa. If we all stop spending together............

    Allen Weisselberg, a longtime financial gatekeeper for President Donald Trump, has been subpoenaed to testify before a federal grand jury in the criminal probe of Mr. Trump's former personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, according to people familiar with the investigation.
    For decades, Mr. Weisselberg has served as executive vice president and chief financial officer at the Trump Organization, and was once described by a person close to the company as "The most senior person in the organization that's not a Trump." After Mr. Trump was elected, he handed control of his financial assets and business interests to his two adult sons and Mr. Weisselberg.
    Mr. Weisselberg, a reserved accountant associates say is prized by Mr. Trump for his loyalty, has handled personal financial matters for Mr. Trump and has also been linked to payments made to two women who alleged they had sexual encounters with Mr. Trump.


    https://www.wsj.com/articles/trump-o...ury-1532622947

    Between this guy and Cohen they know where the bodies are buried with the Trump organisation. Not good news for Trump. Trying to prove in a court of law that any conspiracy with the Russians that may exist went all the way to the top is very difficult indeed and Trump's supporters won't give a shit anyway, but regular crimes, fraud, money laundering and so on, you can't excuse them away.

    So impeachment? Or what or not? I'm just having fun watching the wheels spin man, enjoying the time....oooh and it's likely Peter Stzrok will be called before Congress again because it seems as though HIS recollection and Lisa Page's recollection ain't matching up.

    And so far 1 tape out of 12 has a Coehn-Trump interaction....and the quality is for shit, can't make out WHO is talking or what they are saying.

    They saw the unease and some minor cracks forming not just from voters but fellow Republicans going into midterms. The day before they kicked in 12 billion for farmers in 'bail out'. The President got this ball rolling downhill once studies were complete with the steel and aluminum threat. I actually think it's a great thing that two adult men can enter a room and do what politicians do..find compromise and look at the long term. But Trump does look a bit silly once again playing the swaggering angry cro mag and then they go to kissing each other on the cheek with...ahhh we'ze just kidding ya'll. The extremes of hot and cold make you dizzy. But this is really just an agreement to continue negotiating and as we've seen could go assbackwards tomorrow morning if the President feels offended.

    Trump has confessed to routine sexual assault on videotape.

    Oh no, not another Peter Stzrok testimony. This time Lyle, this time, it'll definitely blow the lid off the whole thing. It'll be some minor nonsense that just makes the GOP people look stupid.

    There's no law against recording people without their knowledge in NY. Trump has done it for decades and threatened Comey with "tapes" if you remember. Considering Trump's lawyers used to meet him in pairs because he'd lie about what he'd told them at later dates then Cohen's recordings are just sensible precations, QED.

    https://twitter.com/TCleveland4Real/...55103757701120

    And the latest Cohen stuff which is why I came here:

    https://edition.cnn.com/2018/07/26/p...dge/index.html

    And this isn't Cohen leaking this, it's the Trump people getting out ahead of it. And there are more witnesses on the Trump campaign who have already testified to Mueller that Trump knew in advance. Pretty soon Fox are going to switch to "collusion is awesome and definitely not a crime". We're starting to see the beginning of the evidence that Mueller already has. I would guess maybe ten or twenty percent is so far public.

    Also, too. Maris have an A rating for accuracy based on their history and historically favout the GOP by 0.5% compared to the actual result:

The President got this ball rolling downhill once studies were complete with the steel and aluminum threat. I actually think it's a great thing that two adult men can enter a room and do what politicians do..find compromise and look at the long term. But Trump does look a bit silly once again playing the swaggering angry cro mag and then they go to kissing each other on the cheek with...ahhh we'ze just kidding ya'll. The extremes of hot and cold make you dizzy. But this is really just an agreement to continue negotiating and as we've seen could go assbackwards tomorrow morning if the President feels offended.

    I reckon he's putting everything controversial on the shelf till after the midterms. He can't afford to lose the House. He spends the rest of his life being investigated and dodging charges anyway without having two years of public inquiries and testimony on live TV every night. That's his top priority.

It is insane too considering an entry level teacher is a little bit above cleaning a corridor. Getting towards Commie territory and capitalism gone wrong.
    Here is Korean inflation minus food and energy. WWe typically don't include food and energy because their prices are affected by things that have nothing to do with monetary policy or anything else that determines the real level of inflation in an economy, so to get a true level of inflation in an economy they're left out of the measurements.



    What are the economic conditions that will lead to this excess inflation? And what the fuck is stage one collapse? What are the subsequent stages?
    You are very demanding, but being very polite, so I don't mind.

    I think stage one collapse was the type seen in 2008. I don't believe there has been a recovery as such because if there was then interest rates would be about 5% and they are obviously not. The next collapse will come and interest rates will be low and I am not quite sure how the next stages evolve as it is really kind of new territory to be doing this.

    My own attitude is that interest rates should have gone up sooner, that the big banks been divided up and reset, and that a lot of hardship needed to be endured to go back to an honest starting point. It didn't happen and buying of time happened whence the problems being faced.

    I don't have all the answers obviously, but think it very important to be sensible and not be getting into a lot of debt right now.

    Out here the economy is tanking. Massive oversupply of property, record youth unemployment, manufacturing shipped off overseas, and record personal debt. The central bank here is stuck and meanwhile the government has increased the minimum wage 30% in 2 years. Trust me, if I was cleaning toilets on the minimum wage now you can have a pretty good life. I think the same about the UK too actually except they have millions of immigrants competing with you too making it harder. Obviously I am not greedy and don't need 2 holidays a year, a sports car, or a Walrus watch.

    Here they are including food and energy:




    Below two percent for the last six years now.

    Here are private sector earnings:



    Everything is pretty good Miles.


    They couldn't put interest rates up sooner because it would have crashed the economy again. They may sent the economy into recession putting them up now and have to reverse course. The absolute last thing needed is a lot of hardship or austerity or whatever. That would make sense if the economy was a household Miles. If your household income is cut clearly you have to cut your outgoings. But an economy is millions of households. In our economy your spending is my income and vice versa. If we all stop spending together............

    No, you cannot believe that data. The reality is far different. I went to the supermarket the other day and bought a salad, some carrots, about 8 very simple items. It cost me 25 pounds. Prices are up a lot and the minimum wage is going to push it higher. A cleaner now earns nearly the same as a private academy teacher. It has gone a bit wrong. I am not sure I have any long term security here the way things are going.
