The KGOP republican Trifecta of Doom

[Achilleaze]

1. Skank the economy. Gag us all with two-scoops more tax cuts for the rich, and extra more trade-war tariffs to throttle America's farms and industries. Republicans are running America as if it were a casino.

2. Massacre the natural world for short-term profit. While the great American West burns, and the great American East drowns, and the Poles both North and South continue their creaking, cracking and smacking apart into the sea, the republican plan is to continue to shitcan regulations that protect human beings, and to DRILL BABY DRILL to accentuate all of the above, while continuing to LIE TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND TO THE WORLD about the clear and presently dangerous reality of raging Climate Chaos.

3. Undermine US National Security & Power. The ongoing attacks on America's 17 Intelligence Services, and the butt-kissing of the kremlin by the illegitimate republican cabal in the occupied White House are an unpatriotic, anti-American, and anti-democratic disgrace. Combined with the shameful republican #ShanghaiSurrender & the super-secret occulted republican-russian #HelsinkiStinky (along with a lot of other super stanky shit that I'm not going to catalog in this rant but that you damn likely know about already if you are even halfway paying attention), this element of the republican Trifuckta of Doom is unmistakeable.

China slaps back at latest United States tariffs in trade war escalation

Source: South China Morning Post via Politico - 08/23/2018

China slapped 25 percent tariffs on an additional $16 billion in American goods on Thursday — following a similar move by the United States in their escalating trade war.

The escalation came despite Vice Commerce Minister Wang Shouwen’s current visit to Washington for talks with U.S. Treasury undersecretary David Malpass, in an effort to reduce tensions.

A statement released by the Finance Ministry said the new tariffs had been imposed on U.S. goods after Washington slapped the same level of tariffs on China on Thursday.

A statement released by China’s Commerce Ministry said the latest tariffs by the U.S. were a violation of World Trade Organization rules.
