    yet you didn't like my Lakers Cavs metaphor? ok....whatever gives you joy...flag burning.....I wouldn't do it personally as a method of protest or stop traffic either...vision is how we perceive life....if you think the DMV gives anyone their entire set of life skills....well ok then...my FedEx driving neighbor is a pretty skillful dude....also is a member of local city council..also farms grapes and has an acreage.....you were thinking computer skills?

    Are your posts suffering from a mental defect?

    What does farming grapes and having land have to do with loading packages in a truck and driving around the neighborhood?

    He can paint an exact copy of The Mona Lisa with his penis while his eyes are closed and that will have nothing to do with driving a delivery truck.

    I didn't have time to read your analogy, plus I don't care because I believe flag burning is completely legal.

    Yeah flag burning is perfectly legal. At the same time I'm kinda rooting for these people's clothes to catch fire when they do it. Nothing too serious, just third degree burns over 20-25% of their body.

    basketball championship compared to a presidential election, come on man..... I respect your opinion, but that was a weak ass comparison, which didn't make sense.

    Why not, it was all in some political trolling fun. The Hillary supporters triggered all year upon 2005 "Trump-shit"..... and you are right, I was trolling the shit out of the Hillary supporters to see if anyone was going to trigger-up on Trump's flag stance. Not a lot of bites here, but holy shit reddit and Facebook was awash with Clinton supporters denouncing the shit out of Trump until they saw the trap that Trump had laid.

    Pure 4D movement. It was well played by Trump. And then he goes and drops the fucking Patraeus bomb, and CNN totally takes the bait and makes a tweet about how insane it would be for Trump to have someone as SOS who gave away secrets. LOL LOL.

    Nah. I don' think it's going to actually COST anything. If they don't have to pay as much tax, it's not spending - it's just taxing less.

    Whereas Obama borrowed $800B and spent it on "shovel ready jobs" that only lasted a couple years, if that, and cost $2.5M or more of that $800B per job.

    carrier is a huge contractor for the the government. im guessing its more like, "hey keep those jobs here, we will give you a sweet contract on the taxpayer dime"

    From what I read, it's the state of Indiana that is making concessions to Carrier, not the feds.

    if anything, the media probably drove the narrative hard enough that carrier was willing to take the loss (for now) in order to make this story go away.

    Could be. The thing is, while lefties are whining about Trump and his picks, he just saved 1000 jobs paying $24/hr. If that kind of thing is all he does for his entire presidency, it's a big win.

    CNN is looking how to spin it negatively. Naturally.

    No. It doesn't work.

    Obama basically did that and what happened is the $24/hr jobs went away and were replaced with $10/hr jobs that the government subsidized.
