Biden, Sanders, Social Security and Smears
Lying about a rival is bad, even if you don’t like his past positions.I do not like Sanders.
This incident adds to my dislike.
Sanders campaigned as a Democrat.
When he lost to Hillary Clinton in the primaries he did not back her.
He ran as a third party.

Trump Gets His Trade Deal, China Gets the Win
China has suffered short-term pain from the trade war, but it stands to gain in the long term.
I'm shocked, shocked to learn that Trump's China deal, which was basically a capitulation even as described, appears to be largely fake
Paul Krugman Retweeted
Trump's phase one deal with China is basically a hoax - "Fortunately for the White House, the deal is structured so that the evidence of shortfalls in those Chinese purchase pledges won’t be clear until after the presidential election.." https://www.piie.com/blogs/trade-and-investment-policy-watch/trumps-phase-one-deal-china-relies-overblown-estimates-what … via @PIIE
