    China has decided that Trump only understands brute force.

    The U.S.-China trade war escalated further Tuesday, with China announcing retaliatory tax increases on $60 billion worth of U.S. imports, including coffee, honey and industrial chemicals.

    The increases are in response to the U.S. announcing it will impose tariffs on $200 billion worth of Chinese-made goods starting next week. The tariffs will start at 10 percent, then rise to 25 percent on Jan. 1.

    China’s Finance Ministry said its tariff increases are aimed at curbing “trade friction” and the “unilateralism and protectionism of the United States.”

    WHeeeeeeeee!

    Too late. Fortunately, I am not easily shocked. People who ever buy brain bleach, yeah, run the other way.

    And let’s face it, people have been predicting here on Balloon Juice that sooner or later Stormy would physically describe Trump’s penis, and it would be small and his skills in bed pathetic. I think this is exactly why he pays off the women he’s slept with. This, right now, is his worst nightmare. No, not jail. He can’t imagine that happening to him. A woman has publicly testified that he is sexually inadequate.

    I cannot imagine the suffering he will feel as soon as he finds out. In his narcissist, misogynist world, this is it, the absolute worst thing. Well, no, the worst will be the entire country knowing and talking about his inadequacy and making jokes about it, but he knows that immediately follows and he’ll have to watch it unfold.

    I guess Stormy felt about like that when he took his pants off.

    @TenguPhule:

    Tariffs have put the US in a very strong bargaining position, with billions of dollars, and jobs, flowing into our country – and yet cost increases have thus far been almost unnoticeable

    Reminder, tariffs are not paid by the country producing the good, but by the consumers buying the good. US consumers pay the tariff, not China. Trump is unaware of this. He thinks he’s paying for his tax cuts, but he’s only making them worse.

    Who could have possibly predicted this? Oh wait, WE DID.

    The vast hog farms and their waste lagoons — which Burdette called “cesspools the size of football fields” — pose one of the greatest perils. The North Carolina Pork Council says that lagoons holding hog feces and urine are supposed to safely absorb at least 19 inches of rain and that ahead of the storm many were prepared for more than 25 inches. But Florence has dumped that much or close in some areas.

    On Monday afternoon, the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality said it had received reports of discharges or overtopping of lagoons at seven locations. Four other lagoons had been inundated by floodwaters.

    Fourteen lagoons were at or near their capacity.

    “While there are more than 3,000 active lagoons in the state that have been unaffected by the storm, we remain concerned about the potential impact of these record-shattering floods,” said Andy Curliss, the chief executive of the North Carolina Pork Council.

    When the lagoons are doing their job, the liquid excrement they hold is a deep reddish-pink. Berms and pumps keep the bacteria-laden sludge from spilling out.

    And it gets worse.

    In May 2017, North Carolina’s legislature passed a law limiting the amount of money people can collect in lawsuits against hog farms for odors, headaches, flies and other aggravations. In June 2018, the state Senate approved another bill limiting landowners’ ability to seek damages in court.

    NC is going to have to be declared a Superfund site and the GOP need to be exiled for life there.

    A man threatened to shoot Trump. Three months and six states later, feds can’t find him.

    A man who threatened Trump in June has eluded federal agents across six states and Canada, prompting school closures in an Ohio town after authorities said he sped off the road there in a stolen truck.

    Authorities say Shawn Richard Christy, 27, has made threats against numerous officials, including Trump, former Alaska governor Sarah Palin (R) and a Pennsylvania district attorney. A federal warrant for his arrest was issued June 19.

    “Keep it up Morganelli, I promise I’ll put a bullet in your head as soon as I put one in the head of Donald J. Trump,” Christy wrote that day on Facebook, the U.S. Marshals Service said in a statement. He referred to John Morganelli, the Northampton County district attorney east of Christy’s hometown of McAdoo, Pa.

    Florida Gov. Rick Scott was chased away from a campaign event by demonstrators criticizing him for the toxic algae bloom that, for many months, has been killing marine life and apparently triggering respiratory issues among some residents.

    The Herald-Tribune reported that Scott, the GOP candidate for U.S. Senate in the state, was confronted by angry protesters Monday at Mojos Real Cuban restaurant in Venice, about 80 miles south of Tampa, where dead animals have been washing ashore. Protesters crowded outside the restaurant holding signs reading “Redtide Rick” and calling the governor a “coward” — forcing him to enter and, only minutes later, leave, through the back door, according to the newspaper.

    Job ads for construction workers and truck drivers on Facebook discriminated on gender, ACLU alleges

    Three female job hunters, a large worker coalition and the American Civil Liberties Union lodged a legal complaint against Facebook on Tuesday, accusing the company of enabling discriminatory job postings with its ad-targeting tools.

    The complaint also targets 10 employers that used Facebook to post job ads — for roles as police officers, truck drivers and sales representatives at a sports store — that were exclusively targeted to men, according to images of ads in the complaint.

    The complaint with the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is the latest of several legal efforts that take aim at Facebook’s core business of targeting advertising to highly tailored groups of consumers, a model that earned the company over $13 billion in revenue last quarter.

    I think Facebook is in trouble.

    To conduct the investigation, the ACLU and lawyers from the Washington law firm Outten & Golden had Facebook users indicate that they were interested in looking for a job by conducting searches on various job hunting websites and on the social network. The job ads from the 10 employers named in the complaint popped up in the news feeds of men but not women, the ACLU said. When the men clicked on Facebook’s “Why am I seeing this?” feature, they could see that the ads were targeted to them in part because of their gender.

    The sound you hear is a million insurance adjusters whooping in victory for limiting claims for payouts

    I don’t know of any homeowner or renter insurers that will pay out a penny for flood damage. Homeowner insurance will cover flooding from a broken pipe, but if it’s a flood, as this is, you’re either in the national flood insurance program, or you get nothing. Uninsured homeowners can try suing, but my guess is that the court rules ‘act of god’ and directs you to FEMA.

    @TenguPhule: Pro Publica has been investigating this for a while now. There’s much worse than just what the ACLU is suing over.

    Imagine if, during the Jim Crow era, a newspaper offered advertisers the option of placing ads only in copies that went to white readers.

    That’s basically what Facebook is doing nowadays.

    The ubiquitous social network not only allows advertisers to target users by their interests or background, it also gives advertisers the ability to exclude specific groups it calls “Ethnic Affinities.” Ads that exclude people based on race, gender and other sensitive factors are prohibited by federal law in housing and employment.

    Do you remember the Chinese giving all of those licenses, patents, trademarks and the like to Trump businesses during the first year of Trump’s occupation? You remember, the laughably transparent bribes?

    I always figured that when Xi really gets pissed off and decides to go nuclear, that those all go away. So far, they’e trying to hurt mostly red states, I think the idea is to kill support for Trump’s tariff wars without making it personal. Because they are probably thinking there’s more to be extracted from Trump.

    But if they decide that they really want to hurt Trump, they’re likely to go for his pride or his wallet. And shuttering all of those deals is likely to do both. Most likely, though, it would be one as a a rolling series of revocations.

    But sometimes I wonder if they’re holding off because they’re afraid of what he might do.

    Not relevant in the case of the hog farmers because you’re describing a rising water table, where the hog farmer situation would only arise from floodwaters. But groundwater pollution from fracking or similar would apply to that case.

    They have also done a rotten job in framing the scope of the dispute to tit for tat on tariffs. From a reader comment in the NYT:

    China has lots of ways to retaliate that don’t involve tariffs …

    a) China can quit financing the US deficit, resulting in higher interest rates and borrowing costs for the US government.
    b) China can impose export controls on a variety of rare earth metals and minerals crucial to advanced manufacturing, many of which China possesses a near-monopoly on supply.
    c) China can further devalue its currency, mitigating US tariffs to a large extent.
    d) China can US policy goals by continuing to trade with North Korea, Russia and Iran.
    e) Finally, China can go “full nuclear” and just simply ignore US intellectual property protections, mass-producing US software programs and generic versions of pharmaceuticals, for example.

    Option b is a doozy.

    The No. 2 Republican in the Senate on Tuesday sharply questioned the credibility of the woman who has accused Judge Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault, as GOP leaders indicated they will limit witnesses at next week’s hearing to just the Supreme Court nominee and his accuser.

    Speaking to reporters, Sen. John Cornyn (R-Tex.) said he was concerned by “gaps” in the account of Christine Blasey Ford, a psychology professor in California, who told The Washington Post in an interview published Sunday that Kavanaugh drunkenly pinned her to a bed on her back, groped her and put his hand over her mouth at a house party in the early 1980s when the two were in high school.

    “The problem is, Dr. Ford can’t remember when it was, where it was, or how it came to be,” Cornyn told reporters at the Capitol late Tuesday morning.

    When asked whether he was questioning the accuser’s account — which Kavanaugh has repeatedly denied — Cornyn said, “There are some gaps there that need to be filled.”

    I think Cornyn’s head would look quite nice on a spike

    I listened to Kavanaugh’s introductory statement in front of the committee and while I will admit that I am extra cynical about anyone claiming to be SuperDad, at the time my thought was “he uses his family like they’re toilet paper”. I didn’t post that because I figured someone would object, but now that we know it was all a show to cover for his deeper, quite skeevy character. I have no doubt there are other women out there that he’s assaulted, and I hope they come forward before Monday.

    Now i just pray he doesn’t feel the need to tweet photographic evidence.

    I haven’t clicked on anything and I don’t generally frequent sites that might feature what this all appears to be about. But assuming what I’ve read so far in the comments means what I think it means, it might be great if a certain individual tried to provide photographic evidence of a certain anatomic feature. Trump is so inept that his efforts to use Photoshop to quadruple (or maybe sextuple would be a better target) would undoubtedly result in disaster — for Trump. It would either be so small as to be indistinguishable from a single pixel or so large that it wouldn’t fit on an elephant and thus, would obviously be fake. I would welcome the opportunity to see Trump’s Photoshop skills — though on some other topic. On the other hand, unassisted, it would probably take Trump forever to even figure out how to use Photoshop (assuming it was already installed on a computer). Actually manipulating an image would be beyond the abilities of the person who is self-described as the best _______ (fill in the blank) in the _________ (world, universe, you-name-it).

    @Darrin E Ziliak:

    Logic isn’t something HP wizards were very good at.

    No common sense either. Frankly, I was amazed their society didn’t manage to actually wipe themselves out by accident given the sheer number of things that could go wrong just in the ministery of magic’s vaults, let alone Diagon alley.

    Too late. I saw it this morning before I had enough coffee to be able to evade this nightmare.

    By the time this mess is resolved we are all going to see the damned Trump weenie. I don’t I’ll never forgive the people who voted for him.

    @cope: I can’t go to the Raw Story site without either 1) a nasty-ish note demanding that I turn off my ad blocker OR 2) if the ad blocker is off, the site takes forever and a day and then some to load, if at all. For better or worse, I’ve placed Raw Story off limits. I think I’m fortunate.

    @TenguPhule: All that already happened before in Hurricane Floyd back in the late ’90s. The whole setup for Florence had me sure it would happen again….even the flooding in New Bern :(
