Oh thank you God. Haha. I feel better. And yes I do agree. He is not Hitler. We are not on the verge of a dictatorship. However - and this is a huuuuuuge however - if this guy gets his feathers ruffled now - and they do get ruffled. What happens when Putin, or Kim Jong-un gets under his skin? What happens when he starts tweeting to them at 4 am???? Being unstable with thin skin and a twitter account in the whitehouse is not as "un-dangerous " as you maybe think. His unstable nature incites hate and hate crime. You cannot tweet about someone losing their citizenship for flag burning. That is the most hypocritical thing ever. Flag = freedom. Freedom = right to burn flag. Exercising freedom = losing freedom???? Put aside ur thoughts on the flag burning, it is a dangerous equation. Especially from the incoming potus for christ sake. He has shown no ability to hold his composure, or let the water run off his back. Is he Hitler - nope. Could never happen this day and age (i think!). Could his unstable nature ruffle the wrong feathers though that could lead to something bigger - hell yes. My only hope is that this four years goes by before he even gets close to going to far. And i think that is a very fair concern and a very real one. |

Re: Recount Opinions
I agree about the thin skin. He needs a quiet place where he can tweet away(without going into the real world) and get it out of his system then come out and move on with the issues.
The office of the president changes the people who have held it. I hope he will get better on that part as he bears the daily burden. Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk |

I actually believe it's a strong motivating factor which lead to the trump presidency. Folks are so sick and tired of this movement to creating false narratives which aren't based on fact. The left are chasing these ideological constructs and offer zero solutions...and at the same time seem to forget how they got there and actually who is/was in charge. If you sit back and look at everything...it's quite amazing. And now when it's seems like we should be celebrating a company who decided to keep jobs here, some seem fucking pissed. You want these people to be out of a job for the holidays? What's going on with this country? Would it satisfy the left, if the compromise was to have illegal illegrants come up from Mexico and fill these jobs here carrier promised to bring? The logic seems like it would.

Re: Recount Opinions
I think it's great people are keeping their jobs, but let's skip the bullshit and call it what is is. $7 million in tax incentives to save 1000 jobs? Something doesn't add up. So what do we do now anytime a company threatens to move jobs? Bend over backwards and give them millions in tax breaks? Sounds like the usual story of the rich getting richer. More trickle down clowns.

And the white gun toting nut bags were praying it was a muslim for their agenda.
Listen man i am 90 % instinct and 10 % news. Same as I am with the skins. I get a better feel for a player watching him play and pay little to no attention to rankings write ups stats projections etc etc. lets just say my instinct has been pretty good so far in my life. Im not talented in any way. I am not uber successful. But i gotta a pretty good instinct. Like i did about KC a couple years ago. Lets just say if Trump was a qb i get a feeling reminiscent of going into the Beck year. Pence is Sexy Rexy. He is better but certainly not the guy. I hope the next four years is not as disastrous as that. I really do. But don't bet against my gut. It has eery powers. Lol C-Red I just saw you tied football into this too. Haha. |

Exactly. Well said. Nobody is unhappy about those families. Duh. But this was low hanging fruit and is not a sustainable strategy long term. Not even close. So show me something built to last. Not a PR stunt for christ sake. |

Another thing Chico. Not just you, but the vast majority of the right always wants to label anyone with disdain for Trump a leftist a liberal whatever. Assumes we not only voted for Obama but we think he is the cats meow.
Isn't it extremely possible that someone could have disdain for Trump just because of who he is. No agenda. No party affiliation. No nothing. Just not a fan of the person at all whatsoever. I mean he is "supposed" to be the "new" breed of politician. So this is a new breed of disdain. This is not Bush Vs Gore. This is brand new. It is not about Obama or libs or millennials or any of that. It is just pure disdain. Up until this point there is plenty of reason for it too. Many republicans have disdain for him. I dont care what they say now. They better get in line. But you know damn well there were a shit ton from the right that did not want him in. |

Yes punch it is low hanging fruit but he isn't even in office yet and he convinced them to back off moving all the jobs. Yes it's Pence's home state but that makes sense because that gave Trump credibility that he could get the state to agree with the plan. To your point Matty, if 7mill over 10 years gets 16mill over the same10 AND keeps 1000 jobs in a state that's a win win every time. Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk |

You will have to forgive me if I don't take a dyed in the wool socialist's advice on the best way to impact capitalistic behavior. I know I know. I'm a wild and crazy guy

Carrier is tantamount to paying ransom. You are just begging for other companies to start thinking tax incentives. Trump said he was going to threaten these people during the campaign. This is an all time Smoke and mirrors.
And what about the 1300 jobs Carrier is still sending to Mexico? So take all of your calculations and cut them in less than half. Than would you sign up for that every day? In this case you are setting a dangerous precedent. So something isnt always better than nothing. Carrier got a huuuuuge tax break and still more than 50% of the work force is leaving. It is such fluff. Such painfully evident throw the crowd a bone strategic crap move in the big picture. Edit: just saw the bernie article. Say what u want about Bernie. Call him whatever you want. But he is spot on. I mean it is common fucking sense. During campaign : Trump - u leave ur dead to me and u will pay dearly to come back. Now : Trump - please ill pay u to keep 40 % of the jobs here? |
