Eyyyy, Mexico looking to import corn from elsewhere. Apparently Trump's border and NAFTA policies pissed them off.

Well, I'm sure losing our biggest buyer (by a huge margin) totally won't have a big impact on Iowa's economy. And I'm sure the resulting price hike on corn products will be well received as well.

Thanks Trump.
Its just bluster, I don't think there is another supplier that could match our output of corn for an equal price, certainly not a better price.
*clears throat*

Not even close

300 million metric tons behind as of 2011, friend. You haven't made up that gap in the last 6 years.

So yeah the Progressives absolutely want to destroy all privately owned guns in the USA.
I have never seen a single person who conveyed that sentiment on that issue.

That's like me saying, "conservatives want all abortions outlawed and illegal, that's why they perpetually push to remove women's rights around the issue."
You forgot the total ban on contraception and a complete halt on women's shoe sales between November and March.

Its just bluster, I don't think there is another supplier that could match our output of corn for an equal price, certainly not a better price. But its understandable, considering how much bluster Trump is putting out in regards to Mexico.
Argentina and Chile both produce corn as does much of Africa. China too for that mater.

Cherche, Mexico ceasing to buy American corn would result in a glut here and a price drop.

Does this guy have problems?

Its not even worth responding to. Its just Saevel and his garbage superiority complex. Total fiction.
Kind of have to interject here. Saevel and I have known each other for a while and over the course of many discussions we've had, occasionally not seeing eye-to-eye on certain issues, he's one of the more logically reasonable people I know.

'Not worth responding to' is the exact modus operandi that resulted in the Dems getting utterly wiped out in the EC. The left needs to learn humility.

I'm not really interested. All of his posts in P&R basically boil down to "Progressives are evil and I am better than them, and that includes all of the ones on this website, but because I speak broadly, it doesn't count as a personal attack." The left doesn't want to seize and destroy all guns, you won't find anyone credible advocating that. Its not part of the platform and it never has been.

I wouldn't say progressives are evil but they are "bad hombres" !

A few stories I ran across....

The White House says Mike Flynn was going rogue, but there’s no good reason to believe that.

Chanti, honest question, how many more times will you run to help a flailing MSM that only cries wolf?

If a bad analogy knocks over a chanti in the forest and there are no media outlets around, does she make any noise?

It's fine to think, as long as they are approved thoughts as defined by the Center for Political Correctness. If you have unapproved thoughts you should immediate report them to your nearest Political Policy center and be admitted for proper reeducation and remediation.

Sad thing is, Savael is understating the whole problem.

Speaking of Descartes what he would think of P n R:

"If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things."
