China is going to impose tariffs on pork, but the largest pork producers in the world, Smithfield Farms, has been owned by WH Group of China since 2013. I wonder how that will work. I guess Smithfield’s non-U.S. farms could provide China with pork.
It’s possible, or maybe he and his cronies are manipulating the market prices and shorting the stock to line their own pockets?
I know WH Group is mostly private but it would seem that the impact of the tariff will be about the same as when I move my change from left pocket to right pocket.
Trump had to say a few remarks today to the children at the Easter Egg Roll. We learned our Stable Genius doesn’t know the building he lives in is called the White House but he knows it’s in “tippy-top shape.”
Isn’t that the same tippy top place that he called a dump when he first moved into it?
David Shulkin claims he did not resign, he was fired. CNN says there is an important distinction here, because federal law allows the President to make an interim appointment to fill a position if the previous holder died or resigned, but there is no provision to fill it if the holder was fired.

Your reference is missing the most important point, that under the first definitions the expression is an eufemism for de puta madre. Under the second one, in Spain we’d go one generation further (no tienes abuela).
Google translate does tend to lack nuance.
Yeah, but they make it up in volume.
Ha!
Ha!
I’m sure you’re right, but I always assumed it was an oblique way to say “padre”, which is a common Mexican adjective meaning “cool” or “awesome.”
Trump called EPA chief Scott Pruitt last night and said keep your head up, keep fighting, we’ve got your back.
Translation: Pruitt will be fired via Twitter this month.
Well back then there was a black family living there and you know what that does to real estate value.
Baby, you can sure call 'em! (I agree.)
There’s that expression “damned by faint praise.” In thump’s case, when he praises someone, damnation is sure to follow.
[snotty, pedantic sniff] That’s with faint praise. [/s,ps]
Remember those 60 Russians expelled from the US in response to Russia, you know, poisoning people? The Russians expelled and held up as evidence that Trump wasn’t beholden to Russia, and that he was tough on Putin? A week later, the State Department has quietly decided to undo that and allow them to be replaced by 60 new “diplomats”.
Russian TV news was reporting that last week. However did they know in advance?
