BEIJING — China said on Thursday that it would temporarily exempt foreign companies from paying tax on their earnings, a bid to keep American businesses from taking their profits out of China following Washington’s overhaul of the United States tax code.

Russian tankers have reportedly repeatedly supplied fuel to North Korea in a violation of sanctions on the isolated state.

Reuters said two Western European security officials had said Russian ships were transferring their cargo at sea to Korean vessels.

Meanwhile-
Republicans are mulling changing the Senate's rules to speed up consideration of President Trump's nominees.
GOP senators want to cut down the amount of debate time needed to confirm hundreds of the president's picks, arguing Democrats are using the Senate's rulebook to stonewall and slow-walk nominees and the GOP agenda.

All Mcturtle cares about is moving faster on destroying the Republic.

1. The GOP prime goal, kill off as many Americans as possible! n/t

3. Al Qaeda and the Taliban ain't got nothing on the GOP!

5. Sad but true!

8. And we've got lots of people in the US just like Al Qaeda and the Taliban. I expect Trump

to start youth camps, indoctrination training camps. We've seen that one before. Blessed be the Nazi way. That, should be the GOP motto.

9. What I find hugely ironic...

Is that the two groups of people who are the most alike politically are mortal enemies. Yet they constantly fight each other.

4. The judges they want to approve will end rights for non whites and gays and women.

Women will die in back alleys, black people will be shot for trying to vote, etc.

THOSE are the CONSEQUENCES of people doing what they did last year that I am not allowed to talk about.

10. Yes. Also LGBT people will die for being themselves. NT

12. In short, millions are fucked in this country under this fucken regime, and millions

don't even know and don't care. My question is, will the rest of the world have to unite to put the GOP down ... if history repeats.
