That didn't take long...



to show how he truly feels about the people he lied to about saving their jobs. It wasn't about the jobs or even the American Workers that he loved so much two days ago, it was about him and making himself look good.  What a joke.

It's even less than 1000 jobs "saved"

So it turns out 300 of the jobs he's doing a victory lap about where never going to leave.  Like his Ford lies.

Can he ever tell the truth?

The vote was full of fraud...and it wasn't

From Trump's objection to the Michigan recount:

The objection accuses Stein of “disenfranchising Michigan citizens” by making “residents endure and expensive, time-consuming recount, and the scrutiny and hardship that comes with it.”
“In Stein’s mind, apparently, election results are deemed unreliable, and election officials are deemed corrupt or incompetent, until proven otherwise,” the objections reads. “Nonsense.”
Despite Trump himself saying the Election results were fraudulent:
And just last week, the president-elect himself undermined faith in the electoral process, baselessly suggesting he would have won the popular vote were it not for the “millions of people who voted illegally.” Trump currently trails Clinton by 2.5 million votes nationwide.
   -Raw Story

The Clinton Mandate

"Clinton’s lead is now 2,550,627. With this, Trump’s overall popular vote percentage drops to 46.3 as he tries to move further down the historically unpopular list.
Other points: Trump’s vote lead in Michigan is now down to 10,704. His lead in Wisconsin is down to 22,177. The fact of the matter is that while Donald Trump may still be our next president, there were a ton of people, even in “red states,” voting for Clinton. Trump’s vote lead in Texas is well under one million"

Trump Loves Pakistan

He didn't a few years ago, now he does (maybe)?  Probably wants to build a hotel there.

Generational



Doesn’t this sound like the way Millennials are described today? 

This is from a 2001 White Paper on Sales talent.  Those evil Gen Xers. 

 The Greatest generation said the same thing about the Baby Boomers and they said it about GenX.  Don’t get me started on those Jazz age kids with their Gin and crazy gyrations. 

“Back when I was young…people were more awesome, these young whippersnappers are lazy/entitled/irresponsible/etc”

Effort not slogans

To my fellow liberal types

Stop with the "not my President". I always HATED that when people said that about Obama because in truth he is everyone's President. And Trump will be, we only get one at a time. We didn't do what was needed to overcome his election, so unfortunately he is (will be) your President too.

Instead of pithy hashtag slogans, get active.  Give your money and time to Planned Parenthood, the ACLU, Southern Poverty Law Center, Black Lives Matter etc.  Make a difference in people's lives, work harder to turn American AWAY from the racist, xenophobic, misogynist message of the President-elect.  Keep America great.  Not with untrue slogans, but with support for the causes of progessivism, freedom, equality, inclusion...

Why I hate giving American airlines my cash

I've had elite status in American Airlines for a few years now, actually it started with USAir and it was a good program then but has got nothing but worse since the merger.  I was often upgraded on USAir, not anymore, and the way they make your pay for upgrades now is crap, coupled with there ever decreasing focus on the customer, I can't wait to stop using them.  I have paying my own money (not business funded travel) every month for 5 years.  There relative suckiness was brought home again tonight as I fly on a United flight tomorrow on which I've been upgraded for free.   United recently matched my elite status on United based on my American Status.  I haven't flown United in years and despite that I was just upgraded, same thing happened with Alaska a few months ago.  Free upgrades on two airlines that matched my American Status but I have to pay for any upgrade on American or wait a ridiculous amount of fights to earn credits despite  spending 10s of thousands of my own cash.   United and Alaska have treated me better based on my American Status than American has.  I can't wait to be done with them and will be soon and will do everything I can to never give them a dime again.  United and Alaska treat me better than American does...

America's Manchurian Candidate

Trump encourages Russia to perform Cyberespionage


So, in the past few days:

Trump says he'll let Russia invade NATO countries
Russia hacks his political opponents emails and releases them
Conservative stalwart posits that Trump won't release his taxes because he's in bed with Russian Oligarchs
Now he encourages Russia to spy on his political rival.

How the FUCK is this guy being taken seriously?

Are people blind? Willfully ignorant?  How can they overlook such abhorrent behavior...even just those things above, but this is not even the tip of the Orange Iceberg.

Damn you Obama

Damn Obama...ruined the economy with his high gas prices....

Americans saved a collective $115 billion plus this year on trips to the gas station. The average licensed driver pocketed more than $550, enough to cover a lease payment or two. The average price for a gallon of gas never broke $3 in 2015, and it dipped below $2 in December, the first time that’s happened since the Great Recession in 2009
