Trump taking a sledgehammer to the global order we've created over the past 70 years.

BEIJING (Reuters) - Chinese and European Union officials both agreed to oppose unilateralism and trade protectionism during talks in Beijing on a bilateral investment agreement, taking a swipe at U.S. President Donald Trump’s campaign of punitive tariffs.

Probably belongs in the thread about Trump's legacy too.

It's the end of the world as we know it.

And I feel fine.

We still have Hoover making vacuum cleaners here.
What's the diff between a Harley and a Hoover?
The position of the dirt bag.

They're loud, otherwise they're just a bike imo. I was thinking a lot of their parts were being manufactured abroad already. Back in the 80's people were talking about it.
I'd have a Japanese bike with the same displacement and 2 extra cylinders any day. Comfort and dependability hands down. I bet the tool of choice for Harley fanatics is a jackhammer.

As a guy who has ridden a lot of bikes in his life I find Harley's pretty dumb.

That said I find it interesting instead of perhaps looking at the Administrations Trade policy and how it created this situation we are instead making fun of an American company and the people who purchase its product.

Its okay... I low-key judge Harley owners too but I don't think that was the point of the OP.

Soon you stop riding the Harley......

One of my neighbors has the same exact scenario. And he says the same thing about his Harley. He loves his YUGE Honda.

I've dabbled with bikes my whole life and a Harley is last damn bike I'd ever want to own. Now days your really not a doctor or a lawyer if you don't own a Harley lol. Harley's turned into just another bike when they added electric start. When those things were kick start only you were a bad ass when you owned one. Now not so much

It must be very comforting to those who voted for this President how disposable they eventually become.

2016: Harley!! Hell, yeah!!! Murica First!!

2018: Meh. Not the same since they added electrical starters.

Can't wait to see what is disposable in 2020.

WINNINNGGG!!!! WHOO HOO!!!

Nice leap. But not unexpected and certainly not original.

Basically the standard counter around here these days.

It's funny how I never saw you pointing out the vast amounts of liberal hypocrisy in years gone by.

I get it though...like most of us, you're a "specialist"

Yes. A specialist in not crawling deep up into anus’s

You might not have noticed my pointing out the hypocrisy of the other side because you were too deep up a conspiracy theory about a Malaysian airliner or a pizza parlor.

It’s hard to tell with you. You imagine yourself as middle of the road when you are anything but that to anyone with a passing acquaintance of actual moderation.

Pretty sure I've never been deep up the the pizza parlor anus thing or the Malaysian airliner anus thing.

But keep going...you're on a roll.

I’ll skip over the Malaysian airliner conspiracy you reapeatedly suggested “might” be real. I’ll just update the pizzagate thread.

Just stop. You are nearly as deep anus as it gets. Stop pretending you are anything but what you are. Be proud.
