is the "general tone" of this blog to insinuate a bunch of crap but also be really vague so that you can always point to something else when people call you out on your bullshit? because if so, then yeah, i definitely understand the general tone of the blog.

Speaking of bullshit, I just read anything you type and see bullshit.

Now, if you really need to tell yourself that LibDerp Nation wasn't doubling down and siding with China in this situation then you're absolutely clueless . . . if you can't and couldn't grasp the general belief that China would be relatively unaffected by a "trade war" with the United State as that belief permeated LibDerp Nation, then again, you're clueless.

In reality we've seen a nearly 3 decade low in Chinese GDP growth (as measured in their terms), and a rapid acceleration in Chinese corporate debt defaults etc. etc. etc.

where are the articles dax? where are are these neolibs rallying around china as the trade war "winner"? You create strawmen in your head 24/7/365.

I didn't say that "neo-libs" were writing articles rallying around China, I quite clearly discussed the general sentiment.   Again, if you want to believe that the general sentiment in this process from the American Left has been to support the Trump administration and (they) not hope that China gave the Don the ol' what for.    That's fine, that's not reality, but that's fine.

Imagine this: a person doesn't support invading Iran. Trump invades Iran. Same person says invading Iran is a mistake. Dax cleverly points out that the person wants Iran to win because they can't stand trump. Dax forgets what he's talking about and becomes confused.

More than a million North Vietnam fighters lost their lives in the Vietnam War. We only lost a little less than 60,000. That war must have been a huge success.

I'm saying things like sentiment or feel, and you guys are working with expressly stated opinions. 

Again, if you don't think LibDerp Nation wasn't and isn't prepared to fist pump until they dislocate their shoulders if it appears that Trump is "losing" in this case, then that's certainly your right (and why you always lying?) . . . but that completely counter to the political climate of today.  I can already see the meme's and gifs. 

One of the definitions of sentiment is:  Attitude

Not that hard fellas, but you guys continue to rack your lil brains to try and refute what I'm saying..

Trump IS losing. We're all losing. That's the consequence of the trade war. I'm not happy about it, but I'm also not going to refrain from laughing at Trump for thinking that the trade war wasn't going to hurt us.

I always enjoy playing "things that were never said" with treysolid.

You can laugh all you want trey . . . but it's sad to think that you're just another lib who wanted business as usual with a country that steals our trade secrets, bolsters a regime that wantonly fires missiles over our allies head and has said they're going to nuke us and our allies, that makes illegal claims in violation of international law to territorial waters, and openly says that another sovereign nation state is still part of China, on top of being the world's larges polluter with no real intention of proactively reducing green house gases unless it fits their own very specific industrial needs etc. etc. etc.

Things that were never said by me,  I’ll note that your whole world centers around what Trump says on a go forward basis.

I really enjoy the idea that you think most people working at TSA, Department of Homeland Security, the IRS, and the Census Bureau have "side gigs that they work on, on the governments [sic] time (and resources)."

I’ll turn on sarcasm font just for you next time.  But I also know a lot about rank and file Federal employees.
