    It's just crazy.

    Our company has a modest shop, we have 8 machinists and run two shifts per day, 5 Haas rigs, 3 Okumas and a handful of manual machines. I just don't understand how increasing our material costs is supposed to be good for the US manufacturing sector.

    At least one publication that I know is popular among conservatives is being honest about the budget.

    holy smokes, i go off grid at the BWCA for 4 days, and all hell breaks loose .... truth isn't truth, trump's attorney talking with mueller, the admiral in charge of the osama bin laddin raid tells trump to pull his security clearance, the catholic church admits to mass rape and no one cares, besides it being worse than terrorism in literally every single sense.

    we are truly living in the upside-down.

    what the actual fuck is wrong with humanity? jesus. the response to the catholic church thing is just mind blowing. if a muslim so much as pulls a co-workers hangnail off roughly we hear about it for months, but the systemic rape of children by the catholic church and everyone is like "hum, yeah, k" white christians try to shoot up a pizza place based on a rumor, and actually do shoot up a planned parenthood based on a lie, but when its actually shown that the catholic church actually systemically raped thousands, and ran there own fucking child pornography ring .... white christians are like "we should ban brown people from immigrating"

    mind blowing.

    the trump era is just truly, and utterly mind blowing in more ways than i ever imagined.

    manafort guilty on 8 counts, mistrial on 10

    cohen pleads guilty to 5 counts


    Jesus, the list is pretty wild at this point:

    2 top national security foreign policy advisers and transition team members of trump campaign are guilty
    1 campaign manger is guilty
    1 aide to campaign manger guilty
    1 trump personal lawyer and VP to several trump businesses is guilty (this includes a campaign finance guilty plea that we know trump knew about)

    all the hallmarks of the mob, specifically, the Russian mob.


    omerossa to release a tape later today from the apprentice ... wonder what could be on that? i bet it totally vindicates trump

    "FEAR MEXICAN IMMIGRANTS

    ... oh by the way one of the president's campaign managers was convicted on 8 counts of tax fraud and his lawyer implicated the president in paying off a porn star"

    Also, Duncan Hunter was indicted today on campaign finance fraud charges. That means the first two reps (him and Chris Carter) who openly started supporting Trump during the primaries have been charged with their own crimes as well. Birds of a feather something something...
