    My dad enlisted in the Air Force to avoid getting drafted -- he was a load master on a C-130 and like the majority of the military ended up deaf in one ear and significant loss in the other with tinnitus. This is something that you don't see a lot about but if you are in the military there is a high probability you will leave with hearing loss and tinnitus. Everything is insanely loud no matter what service you join except perhaps the Navy depending on your boat.

    on the trade war,
    • Trump doubled down, adding news tariffs on consumer goods from China
    • then he postpond it until after Xmas season
    • sensing that Trump was blinking, Xi rachet up the leverage, issuing tariffs on ~$75 Billion of US goods
    that prompted this madness from the occupant in the WH


    note to Trump

    you can set an eg by

    moving the mfg of Trump ties, Trump toilet papers, etc., as well as the Trump escort service, out of china !!!​

    He was a big for the time country boy...so 2-man M60 crew. And yes, later in life you had to make sure we were looking at each other if you wanted to talk.

    Apparently having a sense of humor is no longer regarded as "Politically correct" among Democrat leftists.

    Yes. That is funny. If you have a sense of humor that is. Nothing Seth Moulton did had any effect on the stock market, as anyone who is not a blithering idiot will understand quite easily.

    Sorry, but I don't think that sending out a "humorous" tweet after sending the market and trade relations into turmoil is either funny or appropriate.

    You think it's funny that it's appropriate for any President to make a joke out of the seriousness of what he did today?

    I am very pleased with what President Trump did today. You should be too. The stock market will bounce back. It always does.

    Chill. And smile a little. It is all good.
