Sorry, Winnie, the IMPOTUS has been impeached. You can say otherwise but the IMPOTUS will remain impeached for all time because the House voted to impeach him. . The Senate can't change that. The IMPOTUS is denying his own ability to defend himself. Because he knows his personnel (Mulvaney, Bolton, etc) won't go to prison for him like Manafort has. They'll tell the truth under oath. I hope Pelosi delays sending the impeachment long enough to drive him nuts. The SOTU will be amazing as he throws a childs tantrum in from of the world. You IMPOTUS followers need to be deciding what you'll do when he calls on you to lay down your lives to establish his dictatorship. Will you die for your leader or will you be a wimp?

Not a single Trumpster here has denied the truth of what CT said about the IMPOTUS. It's his immorality they like. I pray God will have mercy on us and remove him from office before he does more harm to the nation.

Cowardly IMPOTUS likes to attack women and dead men. MikeBates? @MikeBatesMore “A dead guy or a widow or somebody who has a physical handicap or the wives of a candidate — the idea that he’s a counterpuncher or a tough guy has been a farce from the start,” said Tim Miller, a Republican operative and frequent Trump critic. . . “ Larry Legg? @LarryLegg2More Larry Legg Retweeted MikeBates I’m not a psychologist, but I get the impression he cultivates that persona intentially. He wants to be seen as mean and nasty...maybe because of extreme feelings of inadequacy? I don’t know. But one thing is evident - he’s very mentally warped. He's been that way since he threw rocks at baby carriages as a young kid. His father raised him wrong. His followers take strength from his cruelty.

MikeBates? @MikeBates The bill Trump signed expands taxpayer funding of abortion. Remember when Trump said he’d shut down the government over Planned Parenthood funding? heritageaction.com Trumpsters loves that abortion takes so many minority lives.

MrsPerrin -Conservative? @MrsPerrin . #ChristiansAgainstTrump because the entire Bible, Proverbs, Jesus teachings, the Epistles, etc., all tell me how I'm to identify a person who does not know the Lord. Trump fits that bill.

'It's killing us': midwestern workers savaged by Trump's trade wars

Michael Sainato

Winter has come to Davenport, Iowa. Temperatures, at 14F (-10C), are well below freezing. But it’s the cold winds of Donald Trump’s trade wars that worry Shaun Buckles.

Buckles, 40, worked at the John Deere construction and forestry manufacturing plant in Davenport for three years until he lost his job last month. He was one of 113 workers laid off; John Deere anticipates a 10-15% decline in sales of construction and forestry equipment next year.

Earlier this month, John Deere announced another 57 workers at the Davenport plant would be laid off, effective 6 January. According to a company spokesperson, 23 workers in Des Moines were terminated as well, effective 15 December.

The job cuts have come as demand for farming equipment shrinks in the midst of a trade war between the United States and China. In response to trade tariffs imposed on China by the Trump administration, China retaliated by halting or reducing purchases of soybean, corn and other agricultural products. A ceasefire has now been called – but it’s too late for many workers.

“We were affected by these trade policies. It gives a sense of uncertainty in the economy,” said Buckles. “It’s rough on families, especially around the holidays. John Deere is one of the major employers in this area. The odds of finding something comparable to it are probably non-existent, but I can always try to hope.”

John Deere: layoffs have followed in the wake of the trade wars. Photograph: Daniel Acker/ReutersLayoffs in manufacturing have become common throughout the midwest even as the overall job market has remained strong. Trump campaigned on promises to bring back jobs, particularly to communities in the midwest that have been devastated from the decline of industry. But manufacturing has continued to suffer. Employment in US manufacturing peaked in 1979 with 19.4m jobs, and have steadily declined since to around 12.8m in 2019, though production output has nearly doubled during that same timeframe as automation and outsourcing have increased efficiency at the expense of US jobs.

Most states throughout the US have experienced steady job growth since the economic recession in 2008 and 2009, but growth in the midwest has lagged behind the rest of the country since December 2016, as sectors of manufacturing and agriculture the region relies on have taken hits due to Trump’s trade war.
