General Motors Co.’s second-quarter profits dropped 2.8 percent compared to the same period a year ago due primarily to rising steel and aluminum prices, and currency devaluation in South America, the automaker reported Wednesday.https://www.detroitnews.com/story/business/autos/general-motors/2018/07/25/gm-second-quarter-profits-slip-rising-steel-and-aluminum-costs/826972002/
The company made $2.4 billion in the second quarter. While GM sources more than 90 percent of its steel and aluminum in from the U.S., costs of those domestic materials have risen as U.S. President Donald Trump levies tariffs on foreign steel and aluminum. The rising costs of those materials — even those sourced domestically, which increased when foreign prices went up — was more than GM had anticipated.

I don't follow this stuff as closely as i should, but from my perspective it's frustrating to worry about steel prices and continue to due nothing about China's continual IP theft. Might just because i follow the tech industry a lot closer.

He doesn't actually give a fuck. He gave ZTE a break and got a loan for his trump hotel and got trademarks for Ivanka. Congress waffled on stopping this shit too.

Maybe she can add yacht classes in her charter schools so this doesn't happen again.
15k in damages so individual will go jail for the company that owns the yacht to have a tax write-off.

For 15k you could pay a few people part-time to get some votes locked up but jail time is cool too. Hopefully they'll still have the right to vote when they out

By Fenderputty Go To PostHow stupid does the HFC look having their impeachment resolution get shot down in a day?
That just gives them more fuel to say they're the "true" conservatives.

Even Paul Ryan wasn't having their bullshit. Now Jim Jordan is running for his job while dealing with a sexual abuse scandal. The HFC is truly awful.
I love it when Trump fucks with other countries.
It's the most charitable thing America does for the world.
Wakes them up from any complacency they might be luxuriously indulging in.

A devout Republican commissioner in northwest Oregon says she can no longer stand by the party because of Trump's "racist tactics" and changed her political affiliation to become a Democrat.
Lori Stegmann left a long explanation on her Facebook page on Wednesday for her sudden choice after spending her entire adult life as a conservative. She chronicled her love of conservative leaders over the years and her start in the U.S. as an orphan and immigrant from South Korea.
Stegmann explained to her constituents in Multnomah County, which encompasses Portland, that she didn't want to leave the party but "it became impossible for me to stay."
"I have not changed but the Republican party clearly has," Stegmann said in her message. "There’s too much at stake in our country right now and we have to speak out. As a woman, a business owner, a mother, an immigrant, and a minority I cannot condone the misogyny, the racism, and the unethical and immoral behavior of the current administration."
