Why is China blinking?

Unlike Trump's America, its likely trying to improve its image to the rest of the planet.

 

[spilledthebeer]

Probable would be a better choice of words!

Why dont you say "HIGHLY LIKELY" and be done with it???????????????????????

 

[spilledthebeer]

Nope.
Trump's "easy-to-win" tariff wars hurt nearly everyone except the wealthy. Especially America's own farmers. The ones that are so adamantly anti-socilaism and had to get handouts.
The dumbass had to have them explained to him several times and I am still not sure he understands.

Look more to WHAT he says and less on how he says it! I think you'll find he's pretty factual!

BTW, it should be more like "The Art of the Squeal" since Gordon Sondland changed his testimony from his original. Apparently he's not anxious to lose his job. lol

So was he lying or is he lying ?

Still don't get it, huh. I'm not interested in what Wasted Beer says.

I don't know and don't care. I didn't read past the first line.

Do you slurp it up off the bar when that happens?

 

[JLM]

Do you slurp it up off the bar when that happens?

Not in the last 25 years!

 

[Curious Cdn]

Not in the last 25 years!

Stopped doing it at 60, eh?

Origins of the Electoral College
The Constitutional Convention considered several possible methods of selecting a president.

One idea was to have the Congress choose the president. This idea was rejected, however, because some felt that making such a choice would be too divisive an issue and leave too many hard feelings in the Congress. Others felt that such a procedure would invite unseemly political bargaining, corruption, and perhaps even interference from foreign powers. Still others felt that such an arrangement would upset the balance of power between the legislative and executive branches of the federal government.

A second idea was to have the State legislatures select the president. This idea, too, was rejected out of fears that a president so beholden to the State legislatures might permit them to erode federal authority and thus undermine the whole idea of a federation.

A third idea was to have the president elected by a direct popular vote. Direct election was rejected not because the Framers of the Constitution doubted public intelligence but rather because they feared that without sufficient information about candidates from outside their State, people would naturally vote for a "favorite son" from their own State or region. At worst, no president would emerge with a popular majority sufficient to govern the whole country. At best, the choice of president would always be decided by the largest, most populous States with little regard for the smaller ones.

The last paragraph says it all.

the rationale for the electoral college no longer applies given modern communications

Electoral college is just a formality. They can decide the outcome independently of the electorate's wishes, but as far as I know they haven't dared to try it yet. It's still based on population ratios. The least populated states have a little more clout per capita! (which is probably fair given their land mass)

Her gig in Israel was a big hit. The only shots I saw were from behind and I imagine the front was just as skimpy. Sh'e about 50 now isn't she?? Better than exploiting a child. Her headlines since then are more than there were about her before. No publicity is bad publicity I guess.

I can't honestly remember the last time I read one of her/his posts. It does give the thumb a good workout while I scroll past.

The same goes for Banbones and MHz
