After reading the posts that pass for fact on here, I honestly laughed at this.

 

If there were really 213,000,000,000 fake anti-Hillary story page views in the last three months of the election (planted by Russian propagandists), SoxTalk has a long time to catch up, lol.

With all the tweets and gotcha moments in the campaign, isn't it obvious the public is fighting back against PC? We just elected a person who offended almost everybody imaginable on social media. People are sick of the PC stuff. Again, Trump offended everybody and the country elected him president yet we're just waiting for the next 'gotcha' tweet posting.

But the majority of voters didn't vote for Trump.

Well, there's PC and there's racist, sexist, xenophobic, etc. Mr. Trump leaned toward the latter.

Take heart Greg, the guy who ended that rally in DC shouting "Sieg Heil"s to the audience is holding an event on my campus next Tuesday. Your campaign against being PC is having great successes like that.

So is an attack (Balta raised this earlier) an attack on any of these Trump properties (especially outside the US) going to now be considered an act of war or imminent threat against the United States of America?

 

Only in countries with 25%+ Muslim populations? What if Pakistanis attack the new project in Mumbai, for example...not exactly a city without a long recent history of terrorism-related events.

 

If you want to provoke the US/Trump now, this is the most obvious path forward and doesn't even require setting foot on US soil or nearly as much planning/investment of resources.

 

Who's going to vote the bill for "extra protection" of these sites. Will Trump be content to take it out diplomatically or with a barrage of tweets?

I promise all Republicans will enjoy reading this...and all Democrats have to admit there's at least some truth as well.

 

 

A deal is just that, a deal. Gotta see what comes of it since they are still losing 1000 jobs to Mexico. Who's jobs are going there? IF they are majority blue collar manufacturing jobs, those stories will get spread through the unions quicker than 15 minute breaks.

Except unions are losing influence/power by the day....witness the broad swath of losses in Ohio, MI, PA and Wisconsin. Or the complete 180 from 2008 in Iowa.

Wait, so this is a good thing? All a company needs to do these days is to threaten to move some jobs abroad and Trump will give millions in tax breaks to keep a few of the jobs here (while a large number still are sent abroad)? How is this good? Seems like a blueprint for companies to screw taxpayers. For someone who did nothing but brag about his ability to make great deals while on the campaign trail, this looks like "one of the worst deals I've ever seen. Believe me."
