    You can thank John McCain for that. If it wasn't for him your orange god would have succeeded in throwing tens of millions off Obamacare.

    But it seems Trumps policies are starting to have an actual affect on the economy...

    US economic growth is likely to slow sharply this year and next, according to CNBC's Fed Survey

    ^And don't forget that Trump's order for no US technology be supplied to China means loss of trade and jobs for many tech industries. The Android ban on Huawei, for example, and many of the Huawei chips are US made can no longer be sold.

    These ones.

    Shares of Huawei’s key U.S.-listed suppliers stumbled on Thursday following a new rule that requires American firms to seek government approval before selling to the Chinese tech giant.

    Earlier this week, Huawei was added to the U.S. Bureau of Industry and Security’s so-called Entity List. That means American firms will need to get a license from the government to sell or transfer technology to Huawei.

    Huawei has over 30 U.S. companies that it deems “core suppliers,” selling it components to go in everything from its smartphones to its telecom networking equipment.


    Many of those firms are publicly listed and took a battering by the close of U.S. trade on Thursday.
    Qualcomm was down 4%, Micron was nearly 3% lower, and semiconductor firms Qorvo and Skyworks were down 7% and 6%, respectively.
    I think Intel and Broadcom are there, too.

    The Play Services Framework, Maps and GMail aren't there though.

    The first one is a real pain.

    Of course for you and I they are easy to install, but for the Buttplugs of this world they'd be staring at their phone scratching their heads, wondering what Regedit is.

    I think it will more be their networking gear and not the phones that will be a problem for them - many of the components will be only licenced from the US with the fabs being in korea , taiwan and china serving multiple customers around the world - I think the companies will just technically comply

    the software is a reasonably simple fix as AOSP follows very closely behind the goog releases and installing gApps is not so hard - they can have their own app store too
    and more people should be instaling aftermarket firmwares and using f-droid to cut down on the amount of info they are gatering for the borg

    How else is Huawei hit by the US ban?

    A number of hardware companies, including chipmakers Intel, Broadcom, Micron and Qualcomm are also banned from supplying Huawei (which said last week that more than $1 out of every $7 of its annual US$70 billion procurement budget is spent buying components from US firms - which of course means the ban will hurt the US tech industry).

    $10 billion loss to US firms.

    been banned from Day 1, hence why they have their own version of Facebook

    it's actually not a bad strategy, we in Europe should have followed the same techniques, it would have forced the creation of giant european tech corps instead of relying entirely on the Americans

    and let's not forget that Facebook was a Pentagon financed project, it's a disruptive surveillance technique entirely financed by the NSA and the Pentagon

    What concerns me is Trump having instructed mcghan not to testify before Congress and now mcghan being held in contempt and with all the other pressures coming to bear will he start a war with Iran just to distract from his problems.
    Unfortunately I wouldn't put it past him the horrible kunto.

    I can't see Merrick Garland overturning that argument, and why should he?

    It's more than the constitution even demands.

    Mehta, an appointee of former President Barack Obama, concluded that Trump “cannot block the subpoena to Mazars.” He said that “Courts have grappled for more than a century with the question of the scope of Congress’s investigative power,” but that the “binding principle that emerges from these judicial decisions is that courts must presume Congress is acting in furtherance of its constitutional responsibility to legislate and must defer to congressional judgments about what Congress needs to carry out that purpose.”


    “So long as Congress investigates on a subject matter on which ‘legislation could be had,’ Congress acts as contemplated by Article I of the Constitution,” the judge continued. “Applying those principles here compels the conclusion that President Trump cannot block the subpoena to Mazars.”

    The House Oversight Committee claims that it needs Trump’s financial records to “aid its consideration of strengthening ethics and disclosure laws, as well as amending the penalties for violating such laws,” and “assist in monitoring the President’s compliance with the Foreign Emoluments Clauses.”


    Mehta said that these were all “facially valid legislative purposes,” and said that it was not his place to question Congress’ motives. Thus, he entered an order “in favor of the House Oversight Committee” and denied the request for a stay pending appeal.

    My my post has nothing to do with why our medical is good,simply pointing out the fact that Trump has done nothing to take it away.Same with my pension,maybe you could point to some facts as to how Trump is taking this away.
