Question: Will Trump's tariff wars mandate a COL increase in Social Security and safety nets?

Cost of many items is predicted to rise dramatically soon, due to the trade war with China.

Won't that mean the COL index will go up, and the programs based on that index will have to cost more for taxpayers?

Is that why the WH is working to adjust the dollar figure that determines poverty levels for qualification for programs such as SNAP?

Is anyone calculating the ripple cost of his vanity orders?

update Deadline WH w/ Nicole, Heilemann, Jolly, Jeff Daniels MUST WATCH

The discussion was very pointed and deep and sobering.

Daniels is playing Atticus Finch on Broadway and brought the matter of race as THE CARD Republicans have given permission for Trump to play in order to retain power in this time of changing demographics.

No holds barred in this discussion. I found myself tearing up at the implications and the gravity in the voices and faces of the panel.

CNN has Flynn Gaetz communication

Nunes, or Rohrabacher?

Who tried to influence Flynn and was dumb enough to be taped?

If you believe (as MSNBC tells us many Dems now do believe) that Trump will win 2020...

...then you MUST SEEK IMPEACHMENT IMMEDIATELY.

Nicole and the talking heads agreed that more and more Dems in Washington are seeing Trump inevitable re-election.

If that is your belief (as an elected Dem or an opinion leader either in the press or some other position) then refusal or hesitation regarding impeachment is...

CAPITULATION to Trump and lawlessness.

Farewell to America as an ideal; as the hope of the world's people.

This is a really good and thoughtful discussion about the deep motive for giving McCabe a bad rep.
