Bombshell leak of inflammatory Trump remarks upends NAFTA talks: he says he is not making any compromises at all with Canada, but cannot state this publicly because “it’s going to be so insulting they’re not going to be able to make a deal” thestar.com/news/world/201…
U.S.-Canada trade talks break up with no agreement: Trump sends a formal notice to Congress stating that he is still intends to sign a revised NAFTA version by late November wsj.com/articles/u-s-c…
Bluff called.

"The decision to try & keep a trilateral deal is a significant win for NAFTA supporters and an indication the Trump regime, despite its threats, wants to keep Canada in the pact"

White House tells Congress it aims to keep Canada in NAFTA nyti.ms/2MDBjKR
"If the new Congress proves eager to deprive Trump of his leverage under Trade Promotion Authority, the administration’s failure to conclude #NAFTA talks will hand members an easy excuse": @philipilevy
“Trump seems very intent on imposing the 232 [national security] tariffs. That would mean that a lot of models would be withdrawn from the U.S. market.”

Citing tariffs, Ford cancels plans to import a new crossover model from a plant in China bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
We already know what his "fair deal" looks like for Canada: abject capitulation.

Trump says ‘Canada will be out’ without ‘fair deal’ on NAFTA, warns Congress not to interfere with trade negotiations ‘or I will simply terminate NAFTA entirely’ wsj.com/articles/trump…
Canada is the #1 export market for 36 U.S. states (#2 for another five and #3 for five more), many of them in the "heartland."

That's called leverage.

Trump thought Canada would fold like one of his cheap suits, like he did in Singapore and Helsinki.

Turns out Trudeau isn't the "weak and dishonest" one after all.

Turkey has concluded that Jamal #Khashoggi, a prominent journalist from Saudi Arabia, was killed in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul earlier this week by a 15-member Saudi team sent “specifically for the murder" washingtonpost.com/world/middle_e…
"#Khashoggi visited the consulate to obtain documents related to his upcoming wedding.

The killing, if confirmed, would mark a stunning escalation of Saudi Arabia’s effort to silence dissent, rounding up clerics, business execs & women’s rights advocates"
"The initial assessment of the Turkish police is that Mr. #Khashoggi has been killed at the consulate of Saudi Arabia in Istanbul. We believe that the murder was premeditated and the body was subsequently moved out of the consulate." reuters.com/article/us-sau…

93% of his records withheld from the American people

43 witnesses barred from corroborating Ford's account & proving he perjured himself

2,400+ law professors oppose his confirmation, citing his partisan, conspiratorial rant which betrayed a clear "lack of judicial temperament"
Any one of these would be disqualifying for a Supreme Court nominee.

Taken together, they are evidence that Kavanaugh is unfit to serve on ANY bench.

“We cannot continue to make people keep suffering in pain over and over and over again for a debt that’s already been paid.” 

Excellent #longread on the people behind Florida's #RestoreTheVote campaign, inc a GOP lobbyist convicted in the Abramoff scandal
nyti.ms/2NE9hPY
"A report by Washington Economics Group, whose clients include businesses like Nascar, projected that automatic restoration of voting rights would lead to $365 million/year in gains for Florida's economy, from lower prison costs and increased productivity"
Amazing statistic: the recidivism rate for people who had their voting rights automatically restored under Gov. Crist is 12.4%, vs a state average of 30%.

Also noteworthy: Charles and David Koch's network has declared support for Amendment 4.

You thought the world was laughing at him yesterday - they are in absolute stitches at today's epic embarrassment.

Trump addresses a Kurdish reporter as "Mr. Kurd" #25thAmendmentNow
Trump says he rejected a one-on-one meeting with Justin Trudeau at the #UNGA, threatens tariffs on Canada auto exports: "We're going to tax the cars coming in, and we'll put billions and billions into our treasury .. Canada has treated us very badly"
Aside from his economic illiteracy (Americans pay the tariff, not foreign exporters), his personal animus towards Trudeau and Canada – neighbors, close allies, brothers and sisters – is senseless and destructive.
