While he was there pushing steel …
I came across this in the morning papers
Pretty much gives the reasons why behind the collapse of US steel
After WWII, lack of innovation, not tariffs, the problem.

What does First Lady Daniels have to say about it?
Whom would you hire to do the English translation?
To be honest, no. Last night I scrolled through a thread on this speech and honestly, this was the least of it. Here’s the start of the thread, which has nothing to do with sequins after the first post, by way:
Even it doesn’t do justice to the insanity. I listened the third or fourth clip, where Trump claims credit - seriously - for the Olympics not being a total failure - because, he explains,nobody wants to buy tickets if they think they are going to be nuked. He thinks it took his threat of thermonuclear war to make the North Koreans want to show up. Seriously, listen to this; it’s only a couple of minutes.
which part (the death penalty or using it for drug dealers)?
I’m asking, because at last check…
The United States was among the world’s 10 largest executioners in 2016, coming in at No. 7, according to a new report.
The U.S. dropped out of the top five global executioners for the first time in a decade. The country executed 20 people in 2016, the lowest number since 1991.
The US Winter Olympics teams did better under Obama.
Two Observations:
1 If we use his stats, and who knows where he found them, a single drug dealer would be much more efficient than the death penalty for his purposes, which, as Ebenezer Scrooge might have said, is to “decrease the surplus population.”
2. I think that the first bill passed after President Lear is removed from office should require that his former supporters have to host him in their homes for one week each. He will then be moved to the next supporters home. He is to have full access to their wifi, their Visa cards, and to fast food whenever he wants it. They’ll need to use supporters because you know that once he can’t do anything for them, his children will be out of the picture.
He’s just echoing his hero, Rodrigo Duterte. Do we really need a crazy idiot running our country? He also endorsed the idea of a lifetime executive, like Xi Jinping. I need a drink…
“I said, ‘Huh, big country, 1.4 billion people.’ Not much of a drug problem. I said, ‘What do you attribute that to?’ ‘Well, the death penalty.’”
He added later that he didn’t “know” whether the United States, “frankly, is ready for it.”
“But at a minimum, you have to give long, tough sentences,” Trump said.
“A drug dealer will kill 2,000, 3,000, 5,000 people during the course of his or her life,” the President said separately. “Thousands of people are killed or their lives or destroyed, their families are destroyed. You can kill thousands of people and go to jail for 30 days.”

Replace “drug dealers” with “my opponents”—that’s what Fat Nixon really wants.
Mmmmmm, let’s see: dealers know that they will get the death penalty for dealing drugs, and also know they will get the same penalty for killing the cops that are trying to arrest them, since killing them may make their own escape possible. Gee, I wonder what could possibly go wrong with this Trumpian logic?
Of course, I hope the police aren’t expecting any help from Trump or the GOP to purchase new Kevlar vests. Besides, I’m sure that a savvy criminal knows that the drug busts shown on TV are laughable: reals criminals don’t aim for the chest - they aim for the head.
SXSW already has a Gov track - I’m sure they could tweak it.
I watched the entire, whatever the fuck that was, rally, because I thought it was my civic duty or something. I haven’t yelled at the TV so much in a long time. One thing is clear, we have a steaming orange pile in the White House. We need to get him out. Getting him out is message enough, every Republican running in 2018 should be painted as Trump. Get them out. Get him out.
Then I guess we can give the death penalty to gun sellers when their product is used to kill people no?
Yep, killing drug dealers, most of whom have nothing to do with the opioid crisis, as opposed to the greedy pharmaceutical industry and their overprescribing supplicant doctors, is really going to bring back the jobs to all those steel workers and coal miners in Pennsylvania!
Afterward, Saccone appeared on Rohrer’s radio program, where he said that he is running for Congress because God wants “people who will rule with the fear of God in them to rule over us.”

Trump must have been watching reruns of “Walker: Texas Ranger” while he was tweaking before the rally. Bet he really misses the old days at Studio 54.
So, apparently the last person Trump talked to as he was headed out of the White House was John Kelly. Then he rolls to western Pennsylvania where just about every third Trump voter has a dealer relative hooked on pills. Vote Conner Lamb for real change.
