It’s almost as if I can hear a nervous laughter within your reply.

Sure it is. Some of this dispicable behavior is not from your typical moderate liberals. Im sure moderates in this thread would not want to get lumped in with violence, bullying, intimidation, racism and bigotry.

Context please

Ok. But in comparison, should the Starbucks story deserve to get 100x the press this one got?

The Alt-Left are revealing who they are through hate, bigotry, bullying, intimidation and racism. It is no wonder why moderate liberals will be coming in droves to vote trump in 2020 and why Trump is so popular with African Americans, relatively speaking of course, in comparison to past conservatives. The far radical left will destroy the party if this foolishness does not come to an end.

2 employees were fired. But it is overblown? This is a worse offense than the Starbucks situation.

? the feels in these photos

Just a quick, casual conversation about business and the economy.

Just talked to a hispanic guy who owns a wood cutting business. He told me that Trump is the best president since FDR and may go down as the greatest of all time.

Not feeling sorry for John “bomb Iran” McCain

What’s wrong? World peace with North Korea? Releasing hostages without paying 1.8 billion dollars? A president who is actually earning the noble peace prize that were not based off campaign promises? Lowest unemployment in 18 years? Lowest black unemployment in history? The stock market past 20,0000 pts? Oh something is definitely wrong alright. And it’s not the President.

Nice try. But I think democratic ONLY mayors going back to 1943 fucked Gary. Dems are done. Black communities are waking up to that blue plague. Thank God for people like Candace Owens. I’d say Trump getting anywhere over 20% of the black vote will destroy the Democratic Party. It is about to get ugly.

Soxtalk Quality Meter Dropping. Again... Being Jumped .... With Venom. Called a Conspiracy Theorist or attacking my grammar. Sorry I don't share ALL of the same view points. I am going to go before more vultures come swooping at me. Soxbadger and SS2k are ok in my book though. Later.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 10, 2018 -> 04:54 PM) What does Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton (who did come out against TPP eventually) have to do with it? But I would like to know what growth has come from voting down TPP. You just lost credibility with me if you honestly believe Hillary was against the TPP. She could not go down with the sinking ship. If you do not understand that abolishing the TPP brings more Money and Jobs to our country than I don't know what to say to you? (SEE DOW, SEE LINKS)

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Apr 10, 2018 -> 04:52 PM) Amazon doesnt take advantage of the USPS. Amazon pays the USPS for a service, just like you or I. And in fact the 2006 Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act made it illegal for USPS to price parcel delivery below their costs. http://about.usps.com/news/statements/080117.htm The only reason Trump is attacking Amazon is political. If there was someone with a legitimate beef about taxes, it would be states as Amazon can theoretically circumvent state/local taxes. But Amazon now pays taxes in approximately 45 states. USPS changed the way they deliver from weight-based to that 'length/width/height/girth' system. means it's a helluva lot more expensive to send s*** through USPS. hell it's expensive to send packages using any american company parcel companies, including the USPS. they all make it to where private citizens who want to send like 5 packages in total in december pay hundreds of bucks for sending only 5 packages in contrast to companies who pay pennies on the dollar for sending hundreds of packages (like amazon). go one step further and youll also see that because of the cheaper shipping, amazon is also able to attain a monopoly in the industry. im all for the free market but this is one of those times when gov't needs to step in to stop the cronyism Ever wonder why Amazon can do free shipping but Newegg doesn't? This is why. It's a classic case of government picking winners and losers instead of the free market working. American taxpayers give an $18 billion gift to the post office every year http://fortune.com/2015/03/27/us-postal-service/ Usps is a government agency. How could someone ever believe they don't use tax payer money? That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 10, 2018 -> 04:48 PM) Oh God, why is anyone even entertaining this troll? Post some more random links for us please, preferably from the conspiracy theory youtube sites you frequent. please post any conspiracy I placed on this website. I would like Jason to know that users like Bigsqwert is why Soxtalk sucks now.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 10, 2018 -> 04:40 PM) Why and how? Lets start with the TPP. As far as I know, ONLY Trump and Bernie Sanders were against it. The TPP was on the fast-track to getting approved under the Obama administration and would have been passed under a Clinton Admin. Would you like me to explain how the TPP would have been destructive to America?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 10, 2018 -> 04:42 PM) Really? In your own words, what decisions or actions did he take which caused the economy to be where it is at TODAY? You casually ignored the Jimmy Kimmel stuff and the Ted Cruz Video. So if I reply to anyone, it won't be you. I'll reply to badger and ss2k before you.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Apr 10, 2018 -> 04:39 PM) Tells you how great of an economy he inherited because most economic changes take what 1-2 years minimum to see any impact? Interesting that in none of those links were anything about the last month, DOW going down due to trade war, Amazon going down due to unfounded attacks... I don't think the Amazon mess is personal. Amazon is becoming too much of a big fish (with unlimited automation potential) that is taking advantage of the USPS and taxpayer money. If this continues amazon will have 90% marketshare, almost all their product from foreign countries and not enough jobs to match the market share.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 10, 2018 -> 04:36 PM) So again, what is Trump actually doing and responsible for? A mess of links tells me zero. Debunk anything I linked. Everything I linked he is responsible for. That's why I linked it. The links are well organized for your bookmarking and viewing pleasure. It was my honor to provide this community with a little bit of numbers.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 10, 2018 -> 04:21 PM) You are telling me that Trump didn't do anything, but just that people believe in him? And past the stock market, what about the economy?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 10, 2018 -> 04:03 PM) I work in the markets (this is my 20th year in it) and have a degree in economics. I know the numbers better than probably anyone else on Soxtalk. Again, I am curious about what you think of what Trump has done to make this happen, not some garbage non sequitor about Trump mocking a reporter. The stock market is a prediction of the future. People invest because they believe things will be good going forward. So a high stock market is a vote of faith in the current administration. If you want to say Obama set this up that's fine, but going forward is all Trump, good or bad. Trump's Economics Policy is not just based on his instincts alone; It is actually called "American School of Economics", the economic policies of Founding Fathers and Abraham Lincoln, which led the United States to the most prosperous state in the world during that time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_School_(economics) Here is a good article on Trump Boosting Business and Economic Growth http://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/360...economic-growth
