      Yeah! Why the hell should they benefit from our public infrastructure if they don’t pay their way? These are the actual parasites on society that the right wingers always claim to be so worried about.

    EU offers Trump removal of all industrial tariffs

    “Europe is always ready for a good deal,” says Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.

    The Onion staff was fighting a valiant rear-guard action against reality, but it was increasingly clear that the odds were stacked against them.

      EU offers Trump removal of all industrial tariffs

      *terms and conditions apply

      Last time around the Yanks wanted the EU to accept chlorinated chickens I don’t think anything has changed in that regard. They’re just playing the headlines.

    There are no truly successful talks with Trump. Even if you make a deal he’ll decide he doesn’t like it next week.
