President-Elect Donald Trump: The Thread

Featured Replies

Let's all just move on now.

 

By the way, the Russians are now are friends. We can trust them implicitly.

 

And when all the unions are gone, ObamaCare, the minimum wage, the environment, the Department of Education, all public lands, gay people, the National Endowment for the Arts...who will you go after next?

 

Oh, that's right...all those senior citizens and members of the middle class who have paid into Social Security and Medicare their entire lives.

 

Then who in the world will be left to consume the products graciously bestowed on us by the job creators?

and by refusing work, they might not get offered future work

Either way, your initial response didn't make any sense.

It makes perfect sense. Perhaps you are the one with the issue.

Well you made it thru one sentence of one post. Top notch!

This would be the liberal nightmare scenario for the whole telling people that they can't deny people services for religious, moral, or ethical reasons.

I don't think that is correct. This is an employment issue between the Rockettes corporate and their individual dancers. There has to be a contract governing the relationship between the individual dancers and their employer, and their contract would control the extent to which they can pick and choose their outside engagement.

 

Also, that's a pretty broad reading of the liberal position on services. The guy who was harassing Ivanka Trump on that plane? The airline had every right to kick him off the plane because he was being a disruptive, a-hole. The airline wouldn't have the right to kick him off the plane because he was gay, muslim, etc.

 

To the extent that the individual Rockettes think Donald Trump is an a-hole, I don't see where that fits in with your broad reading about denying people services for religious, moral, or ethical reasons. You can choose not to provide services to someone who is an a-hole. You just can't refuse services because they are a Republican, or a Christian, or an African-American, etc.

They were not asking to be paid, they were asking to not be forced to perform.

Brett, you going to touch on Congress not doing their job at all?

Unless the Rockettes constitute a public accomodation and they're refusing service to Trump on the basis of a protected class (race, ethnicity, religion, etc), it's not an issue at all.

Don't they have scabs who will perform in lieu of the originals performers?

No. Your Supreme Commander's words, not mine.

so this is what happens when non washington insider gets elected to the white house

 

all hell breaks loose!

It's helpful that he doesn't trust computers, e-mail (leaves a paper trail leading back to mistresses is the main reason for avoidance), know what Israeli settlements are...and doesn't realize Twitter is also part of the Internet.

 

He does at least have a Samsung Galaxy, but no nifty ipad like Obama for the often-ignored daily National Security Briefing.

 

At any rate, who actually needs that when Putin, Kim Jong Eun and Duterte are always available for some friendly advice?

You were mad about people getting paid to not work. It seems entirely relevant to the discussion.

*which I feel needs to be pointed out is not a thing that actually happened or that they were requesting.

One thing that's really confusing me with Trump is why he's so enamored with Russia. It's pretty easy to identify Putin's foreign policy goals and motivations, but I'm still left really confused as to what the US is supposed to get out of the Trumpist stance.

Trump surrogates are claiming the sanctions are really against them.

I'm curious what the people, who 8 years ago were calling BO a communist, think of all this.

Modern Russia is an reactionary authoritarian kleptocracy so they're probably a-okay with it.

Not exactly. Two choices. The other's name was Clinton. Bernie would have been fine not Hillary

Well they all seem to be fellating Russia now, which is weird if you ask me. Trump is already proving he's the great uniter, I mean he is going to make Russia super friendly toward the US again.

See that's the fun part. If it were a Republican in office, we'd hear non-stop about the two failed wars in Libya and Syria, along with reigniting the cold war with Russia.
