A freshman rep

she has no power or committee influence. She is a mouth and a twitter feed.

no reason at all to pay any attention to her but to make memes of her stupidity.

lots bigger problems

That’s the problem

we get all distracted making fun of a green deal that has no chance of being anything but a lead commentary on a few talk shows. Make up a bunch of memes about a new rep that has nothing but media coverage

 

and forget the real stuff, the border, shutdown, etc.

 

how many times in the last few days have you heard about the other freshman from Michigan and her “trope”

 

focus people, focus

"...Ridicule is society's most effective means of curing inelasticity. It explodes the pompous, corrects the well-meaning eccentric, cools the fanatical, and prevents the fanatical from achieving success. Truth will prevail over it, falsehood will cower under it..."  Christopher Stone (1914)

Although China slapped retaliatory tariffs up to 70 percent on U.S. ethanol shipments, the fuel can still legally enter China tariff-free if it arrives blended with at least 40 percent Asian-produced fuel, according to trade rules established between China and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), the regional economic and political body.

In a striking example of how global commodity markets respond to government policies blocking free trade, some 88,000 tonnes of U.S. ethanol landed on Malaysian shores through November of last year – all since June, shortly after China hiked its tax on U.S. shipments. The surge follows years of negligible imports of U.S. ethanol to Malaysia.

In turn, Malaysia has exported 69,000 tonnes of ethanol to China, the first time the nation has been an exporter of the fuel in at least three years, according to Chinese import data.

Blending U.S. and Asian ethanol for the Chinese market undermines the intent of Beijing’s tariffs and helps struggling American ethanol producers by keeping a path open to a major export market that would otherwise be closed.

“Global commodity markets are incredibly creative in finding ways to ensure willing sellers are able to meet the demands of willing buyers,” Geoff Cooper, head of the Renewable Fuels Association, said in a statement to Reuters. The group represents U.S. ethanol producers.

A new Washington Post-Schar School poll found that, by a margin of 56 percent to 33 percent, Americans trust Robert Mueller’s version of the facts more than President Trump’s. (Not surprisingly, this breakdown was 86 to 10 for Democrats, and 17 to 74 for Republicans.) Eighty-one percent believed that Mueller’s report should be released to the public in its entirety.
