    ...lol, did you fully read and read between the lines and grasp what that article was really saying?....if Trump/Congress continue to give these huge tax breaks to companies to sway them to build in the US who do you think will end up paying for it?...well, it will either be John Q. Public or this country's deficit will simply grow even larger.

    ...Ford's decision will create a whopping 700 jobs in the US...whoopty fucking doo !

    ...in the meantime, Ford will continue to increase it's production of Mexican built cars. (Ford Focus)


    ...yeah, great strategy.

    Can't say I've ever seen any human beaten this bad in any sanctioned fight; not as graphic, repeated (un-necessary, and should of been stopped a bit earlier, like 5 or 6 blows earlier)....

    what an embarrassing beat down, for a woman who exhibited a helluv alot of class, and was/is a good role model for young girls. At least I think so..... sad to see a Champ go out this way....

    ^^^^ this too is my own fear about a psycho egoistical maniac on the loose. The fact American's chose a reality show host, and a shitty show at that, nothing but ego- ... wtf is that for entertainment, sick audiences.....

    Gotta' say I've lost a lot of faith in the US mindset, that voted for either candidate, a sham, shame, and should of been held up, re-amend the Constitution, to ensure we have a capable, honest, POTUS election, with real candidates in lieu of a crook and a fraud....

    IMO, I cannot support Trump, or his Cabinet; as a long time GOP myself, he and his cronies, (are as big of crooks as the Clinton's, and not gonna' be any better for our nation than Obuma was, he will just fk it up in a much different way); stands for everything wrong with America, and imo, even Ronald Reagan would say, "this guy is a nightmare, and you dumb asses voted the wolf into the henhouse, Godspeed America, you're gonna' need it".....

    to me this sums it all up: ^^^^....!!! Trump will make Nixon look like a Pope...!

    Trump’s method of shaming by tweet, on the other hand, does nothing to address the long-term stability of American manufacturing. His promised “reforms” will involve increasing profits at the expense of worker and environmental protections. His shakedowns of one company at a time, not unlike the operation of an outer-borough loan shark, is a cheap and lazy approach to solving problems. That Republicans are seemingly satisfied with it tells you everything you need to know about their fake concern for American industries and American workers.

    So this is to be Trump’s policy: Public shaming coupled with behind-the-scenes promises to sacrifice the environment and the people in exchange for a few hundred manufacturing jobs here and there and some statements praising the president for his foresight and business-friendly attitude. The resulting good press distracts everyone from noticing that in the grand scheme of an economy with around 145 million jobs, a few hundred here and there is barely a statistical anomaly.

    More frustrating than the con Trump is perpetrating — and the obvious fact that this is no way to create long-term economic policy that will address the challenges facing the nation’s workers — is the reaction, or lack thereof, of conservatives who allegedly believe in the free market but will stand by while it is perverted by a strongman’s desire for ego gratification

    Trump's going to be living with his foot in his mouth, full time. Promising $$$ as an easy fix for any/everything under the Sun. This nation's gonna' bleed out, after he's done with the taxpayers, bailing out more of this country than ever before.

    With his 'prime lending' mentality, land, houses, will be so over inflated, once Trump's dog and pony show exits D.C. the real pain will set in, if not a Depression, and I'm not a doomsayer. I do believe in keeping a glimmer of hope alive, as Rome burns, and Babel falls, DC does the swamp re-stocking....!

    and to think GOP Principle's are: "NO new taxes"...!

    Fear Russia??... China....?? - Fear No-One...
    Don't ever get into bed with either, (while Trump appears to be already bunk mates with Putin, ntm-his 'SOS' appt. is a Russian ally, bet more than that, probably paid off as well by Russia's elite crooks, same shit as Khrushchev/Brezhnev). The US needs too keep a closer eye, and hand on their pulse, and continue to dominate the world economy, technologies; and skies.... without trying to play World Police....

    Sure Russia, and China would love to see each other eliminated. My bet is on the Chinese to outlast Russia.... Even with the 90's Asian Stock-Economies collapse, Asia is recovering, dusting off, and still a key player; even more aggressive a player, and will remain increasing force, as Rualways has been...broader reach in all ways, much bigger influence on the world, than Russia, a Giant asleep still??? While Russia pilfers old Soviet Bloc nations to come home to Papa-Putin.




    and to think in Japan/China, Asia in general:

    Middle Class worker's are expected to have at least a Bachelor's degree if not a Master's, in all fields of middle class employment.

    Humility-101 has been replaced with "Intl. Aggression in Secrecy"

    Suicide Prevention, now being taught in High School, Asia,....

    I know there are a lot of differences b/t both East and West Customs, that much is a given....

    I don't know about any of you, but I'd rather not be on the same side of a political argument as Meryl Streep. ;)

    He's not going to admit anything he did was wrong, won't give any leverage to the opposition. He treats everything like a business negotiation, I know its frustrating to many. I deal with this sort of asshat move everyday, and have used this tactic in the past myself. Personally I found a better way to make deals, but Trump isn't going to change his offense after 5o years. Think of it this way, he's playing offense and anti-defense...lol!

    Oh, I get that...but geeez, he's in a completely different role now and should act accordingly...big difference in being on the offensive vs acting offensively.

    Why would you expect logic to prevail?
