They already have the most votes there and       any change from a recount would just lost them that seat       rather than give them another one. So things won't change.       Carney has his minority government, but so close he should be       able to find a couple of people from other parties to back up       most of the things he wants to do..              The USA today greatly reduced the tariffs on China, and they       lowered theirs in response for at least 90 days, which took       a little of tension off of the markets since China sells the       USA something like $600 Billion a year in goods.              Trump also was given a $400 Million Jumbo Jet to use to replace       Airforce One as a gift from Quatar which Trump said he'd be a       fool not to accept.. ignoring that the US Constitution makes his       accepting gifts like that totally illegal..              ---        * SLMR Rob * Now that I can walk on water, what's next?        * Origin: capitolcityonline.net * Telnet/SSH:2022/HTTP (1:2320/105)       SEEN-BY: 105/81 106/201 128/187 129/305 153/7715 154/110 218/700 226/30       SEEN-BY: 227/114 229/110 114 275 300 307 317 426 428 470 664 700 705       SEEN-BY: 291/111 292/854 320/219 322/757 396/45 460/58 712/848 902/26       SEEN-BY: 2320/0 105 5020/400 5075/35       PATH: 2320/105 229/426           |
