He doesn't understand what trade is. Much less trade deficits. David Ricardo figured out comparative advantage 250 years ago. Trump doesn't understand that most basic of principles...

Anyone who has ever watched anything Trump does with remotely sober eyes would never fall for this $5K bribe. Just look at his history of paying... or not paying... contractors.

Months after buying it, I finally watched Sophie Scholl: Final Days. Few movies or TV shows ever have me in tears, but this had me bawling. Sophie Scholl and her brother, Hans, are some of the most courageous people to ever live on this planet.

I appreciate that Dolly Parton refused to participate in "dress respectability" and, by her own account, modeled her aesthetic after a town "tramp," who she thought was beautiful. She separated aesthetics from character and understood "classiness" to be about how you treat people, not how you dress.
