I think that's the worst cavity I've ever seen.

It might be helpful if you provided a link. It's like you came to a dinner party and didn't at least bring a bottle of wine for the host.

Indiana did what just about every other state does. This was not some new tactic. Trump's involvement was to encourage them to stay because of his business friendly agenda. Be the smart Gene Frenkle, not the stupid one.

Holy schit, are you serious?

Link?

Uh, I know but anytime I can ridicule plastic face or Cankles I will.

Nancy?

So now "mooooo" means yes?

The state of Indiana gave incentives to keep Carrier in Indiana. President elect Trump painted an upbeat picture of the future business friendly climate during his presidency. I can't wait to have some bully give me money and promise me better things ahead.

The stock market is up because of basically "0" interest rates and the incessant printing of money which will come back to bite us in the ass, The unemployment rate is down because we have more people who have given up on finding a job and aren't counted as unemployed. In reality, there are more people not working than there were 8 years ago. Obama didn't steer us through anything. He is/was incapable of understanding anything to do with economics. He did steer money to his cronies and supporters though.

It's not like you to hold back like this.

Don't say nuthin without your lawyer, Jim.

Well, you could work around that by Googling Rosie O.

Repeating something over and over whether it has a factual basis or not, is not going to make it true. You might fool the gullible though, Harry Reid.

They're arguing apples and oranges.

What actions are you accusing Trump of doing that aren't consistent with his soon to be role as chief executive? Local and State governments commonly give businesses incentives to remain in the area or move there. No federal money was involved with the incentives to Carrier. A lot of federal money was involved with Solyndra and Iran. I could see where Trump may have used the bully pulpit to encourage Carrier to stay and talked up what he hopes to be a business friendly atmosphere in the future.

http://www.taxpayersunitedofamerica.org/latest/illinois-govt-pensions-over-100000-up-27-since-last-year CHICAGO—Retired Illinois government-employees pull in huge pension payments while Illinois taxpayers bail out the floundering government pension plans with the 67% increase in their state personal income tax, according Jim Tobin, President of Taxpayers United of Illinois (TUA). Tobin added that the number of retired government employees in Illinois getting annual pensions over $100,000 jumped 27% from last year. The number of government retirees in the Illinois state pension funds getting over $100,000 a year in pension payments rose from 5,294 to 6,706. Tobin projected that by year 2020, 25,000 government retirees will be getting annual pensions over $100,000. “The Teachers Retirement System (TRS) pension fund had 3,499 retirees pulling in over $100,000 a year in pension payments as of April 1, 2012,” said Tobin. “The State University Retirement System (SURS) pension fund had 2,108 retirees getting more than $100,000 a year.” Click here to view the top 100 Illinois State pensions as of April 1, 2012. “In the State Employees’ Retirement System (SERS), 84 of the top 100 are retired State Troopers, including 28 troopers who retired at age 50 and are getting over $100,000 a year.” “The largest pension of all retired Illinois government-employees again is Tapas Das Gupta, formerly of the University of Illinois at Chicago. Gupta’s annual pension (as of April 1, 2012) is an astronomical $426,885 — $35,573 a month. So far, Gupta’s pension payout to date is a whopping $3,001,481.” “With lavish, gold-plated pensions like these, it’s no wonder that the Illinois government pension programs are going broke, and that Springfield politicians are trying to bail them out with tax increases on Illinois citizens whose annual incomes often are lower than what these guys get a month.” “Immediate and real pension reform is long-overdue. Ending pensions for all new government hires will eventually eliminate unfunded government pensions,” said Tobin. “New government hires should plan for their own retirements by being placed in Social Security and 401(k) plans.” “Furthermore, if each government employee were required to contribute an additional 10% toward his or her pension, taxpayers would save $150 billion over the next 35 years.” “Finally, requiring Illinois government employees and retirees to pay for one half of their healthcare premiums would save even more – an estimated $230 billion over current projections.”

Has anyone considered that both Trump and Romney (along with many others) are patriots and want to do what's best for this country?

Oh my, you may have broken news that the MSM had missed entirely. Donald Trump has named a transgender to his Cabinet?

My post came from your link and while you didn't prove your premise, you did prove that you are adept at cherry picking.

https://www.dhs.gov/news/2016/10/07/joint-statement-department-homeland-security-and-office-director-national "Some states have also recently seen scanning and probing of their election-related systems, which in most cases originated from servers operated by a Russian company. However, we are not now in a position to attribute this activity to the Russian Government. The USIC and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) assess that it would be extremely difficult for someone, including a nation-state actor, to alter actual ballot counts or election results by cyber attack or intrusion. This assessment is based on the decentralized nature of our election system in this country and the number of protections state and local election officials have in place. States ensure that voting machines are not connected to the Internet, and there are numerous checks and balances as well as extensive oversight at multiple levels built into our election process." Not exactly proof of anything except that you are capable of cherry picking.

I'll volunteer to do the debriefing.

You are a pompous ass. You screw up by not providing a link and then try to blame me for ostensibly not keeping up with the news. That weak game won't play here.

Then you should have provided a link so that we can be assured that you aren't cherry picking.
