President Trump- The Implications

[Hoss]

In Russia news. Trump blocks the Democratic memo. Because, you know, it doesn't make him look good. Anyone still want to argue the Nunes memo was about anything other than obstruction and protecting Trump?

I somehow remember some on here calling Obama the "Emperor with no clothes".  Hmm.  Even more so than this moron in the White House?

Really?

You don't care that Trump is an awful president you are just happy he won and Hillary isn't president.

I think we've already established this.  Carry on Guido.

That. But I generally don't care about what you've established.

Trump will release the memo after they redact all the nouns, verbs, adverbs, adjectives, gerunds, indefinite articles, and punctuation, but it will still be too long for him to read.

AKA, facts don't matter.

Apparently being funny in comedy doesn't matter any more either.   

Since when did late night television and SNL become one joke machines only making fun of Trump?   Have they really used up all their comedy magic?   

Sadly, I used to like Colbert before he became a one joke man.

Maybe because he's a constant source of material?

True.  You are happy in your comfort zone of supporting pedophilia, calling POW's cowards, disparaging all of our military leaders (while at the same time claiming to be "all about" military service - that is a two pointer!), ridicule of the handicapped. 

Not to even mention those good ole downhome family values of having a bunch of kids from several women, support of spousal abuse, and general violent action against women....  From my friends and family who are Catholic, I KNOW you didn't learn that from your faith.  In fact, they are kinda just the opposite of that.  But hey, you are right, at least it ain't Hillary.  That's the important thing...

Another side effect of Trumps lies....   Amazon is laying off hundreds of employees, both at corporate and elsewhere.

No wonder they are looking for another headquarters - we may be back in the running with the Low Wage Gambit !!

I call BS on blaming Trump.

Amazon is laying off hundreds of corporate employees, a rare cutback for a company that has spent most of the last few years in a frantic growth spurt.

The layoffs, underway now, will fall on several hundred employees at the online retailer's Seattle headquarters, along with hundreds more elsewhere in Amazon's global operations, one person familiar with the cuts said. The layoffs are primarily focused on Amazon's consumer retail businesses, according to two people familiar with the matter.

A few hundred layoffs are modest for  a company that is now the second-largest U.S.-based corporate employer, and pales in comparison to adjustments in recent years that saw Microsoft and Boeing eliminate thousands of jobs in a single cutting drive.

But at Amazon, a company with a wide range of growing businesses that prides itself on frugality and efficient allocation of resources, broad layoffs of any kind are rare.


The cuts come after a hiring binge that took the company's Seattle head count to more than 40,000 people, from just 5,000 in 2010.

According to several employees, the rapid growth of the last two years left some units over budget and some teams with too much staff for their work. Amazon had implemented hiring freezes in recent months across several groups, a move that reduced the company's open job listings in Seattle to their lowest level in years.

In a statement to The Seattle Times, Amazon acknowledged the cuts.

"As part of our annual planning process, we are making head count adjustments across the company — small reductions in a couple of places and aggressive hiring in many others," a spokesman said. "For affected employees, we work to find roles in the areas where we are hiring."

Not saying that - saying he has been lying all this time about "saving" all these jobs...awkward wording.  Also, didn't save Carrier jobs that went to Mexico.  Like they said they would.

Really?

Your statement

is saying that Trump lying is a causal effect for Amazon to lay people off.

Okay, so you now change your statement to fit. Fine, not gonna lose sleep about it. As for Trump lying, that pretty much sums up every piece of carp ever elected why would you expect anything different?

Which federal law enforcement agency is an imminent danger to the U.S.? The answer, of course, depends on which partisan lens you apply to the inquiry.
