I like the 34 time convicted felon angle a lot. Not because I'm particularly pro Trump or anti Trump. I just like that depending on which judge is doing the talking he's either a 34 time convicted felon or a man who had 34 convictions thrown out on appeal. So is he or isn't he? With the mix of judges in this country and their various loyalties the world may never know.

So we grow 80% of the worlds soybeans (give or take)? What happens when we stop selling them to China? Grow something else I guess? The same areas that grow soybeans are just fine for corn and other crops so to me this seems like the kind of thing that within a season or two means nothing to either side. American farmers can grow other crops. China can get soybeans from other places right?

You say that like it's not an option but increasingly it's becoming more likely. One of the only good things about the US dropping two atomic bombs on Japan was that it horrified the world (including the US) once it happened. Results were 80 years of nobody nuking anyone else. Ever larger and more deadly weapons kept the fear up but now they're becoming commonplace. More countries join the club every year and sooner or later someone is going to use one. China's making a great case for being the inevitable target.

I would genuinely like to see it happen. Mostly because I'd like to see how something like that shakes out. On a regular basis Apple, or Amazon, "Somebody" gets this treatment and I'm not saying that they do or don't have it coming. Not taking a position. We all see this response and yeah, it could happen I guess but what would be the fallout. I'd like to find out just once.
