I'm hoping we can keep the thread clean of right-wing, conspiracy nuttery.

Why shouldn't they haggle? Sticker price on baby parts is absurd. You can knock down at least 30%.

4 out 5 mental health professionals agree, Trump is mentally ill.

and a piece out of it, that may back up what some of us have being saying about how JT should handle him.

As for those outside the White House who deal with the president, the mental health professionals I spoke with had slightly different advice. Becker says malignant narcissists “salivate for battle,” so other world leaders should try to temper this tendency in Trump. “The way to be strong is to convey your dignity, to challenge the bluster,” he says. Quietly displaying strength and setting boundaries will work best. For example, the British firmly disputed the Trump administration’s suggestion that their intelligence service helped wiretap candidate Trump—and, ultimately, they got an apology from the White House. The Mexican president has made it clear that his country will not pay for a border wall. In an apparent concession, Trump this week tweeted that to get that project going, the American public will first foot the bill, to be reimbursed later by Mexico. In other words, Mexico isn’t paying for the wall. And at a recent visit to Mar-a-Lago, Chinese President Xi Jinping gave Trump a short history lesson that caused Trump to back off his demand that China immediately bring North Korea to heel. “After listening for 10 minutes, I realized it’s not so easy,” Trump said.

Trudeau should just blame crooked Harper.

This should be fun.

Hey everyone, get ready for TFF to ignore anything you post where you ask him to explain or expand on anything other than "Planned Parenthood gives abortions and sells babies, and probably eats the ones they don't sell, and women shouldn't have access to reproductive health services because reasons!"

[DuffMan]

sweet chili baby parts is my favorite.

FYI, TFF's source for those videos is now facing felony charges and is generally regarded as a complete lunatic scumbag.

He rejects your reality as FAKE NEWS!

Planned Parenthood is evil and women do not deserve access to basic reproductive medical care!

Live or dead? I mean it's not like the dead ones are using them. I've decided to take a more Libertarian view on things. Sell away I say, the free hand of the market will decide if it's a viable business model or not.

[Bring_Back_Shantz]

Just so we are clear, we all know that no matter what we say TFF will just reject any facts and hunker down deeper to his position right?
We all know how this is going to go right?

So we can at least have a little bit of fun pointing out how ass backwards he/his completely indefensible position is while he does some insane mental gymnastics and ignores anything he doesn't have a rhetorical response to right?

I thought we were supposed to validate his beliefs and then use reason to make him see the errors in his logic.

I think we all know that using reason is about as useful as TFF seeing an error in his logic is likely.

But if we mock Trump supporters then they're going to...I dunno...be more Trumpy I guess?

Both of those are a hard "No"

[DuffMan]

I heard Trump will sign an EO, that all baby parts sold in the US, will be made in the US, by American workers. bring back baby parts jawbs. No more imported baby parts, and if there is there will be 80% tariffs.
Make America Stupid Again.

CRFB has found the Trumps budget will cost a whopping total of $5.5-7 trillion dollars in lost government revenue. They do not call Donnie the "King of Debt" for nothing. CRFB also found that there was "no plausible amount of growth" that could possibly make up for this amount of shortfall. So basically he's asking people to pay for his tax bill and his golfing trips while saying, "Totally trust this tax plan I've written down on this napkin guys, it's great, it'll save you money"

The principles of his tax plan -- presented Wednesday in a one-page document -- offered enough detail to suggest that Trump's preferred tax changes will add a ton to deficits.

Given that the plan is similar to what Trump proposed on the campaign trail, the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget did a rough cost estimate of his latest ideas and concluded they could cost $5.5 trillion in lost revenue during the first decade.
CRFB estimates the overall cost could go as high as $7 trillion if limits on tax breaks that the plan suggests apply only to high earners. Or the cost could fall to $3 trillion "assuming credits and exclusions are eliminated as well as deductions."

But what about economic growth? Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin has asserted more than once that the tax plan will pay for itself by generating a lot of growth because the proposed changes will spur investment and create jobs.

CRFB doesn't buy it, noting that even if tax cuts create more growth than it estimates, there's "no plausible amount" that can offset the lion's share of the plan's cost.
"Economic studies across the spectrum have found that deficit-financed tax cuts only pay for a fraction of their cost, including from the Congressional Budget Office," the group said.

I think we all know how to kill another human being. The question is should we? And in Planned Parenthoods case after they kill the human being should they part him or her out and sell the parts to the highest bidder? These are tough questions for a publicly funded company.
