Trump’s Limo Broke Down

[Robert]

Back in 1995, a married couple noticed a limo on the side of the road that had a flat tire. The husband pulled the car over and fixed the tire. The limo belonged to Trump, who thanked the man and asked him how he could repay him for his kind gift. The man suggested sending his wife a bouquet of flowers.

Trump agreed… and when the flowers arrived several weeks later, there was a note included that said,    “We’ve paid off your mortgage.”

On the video he also talks about so much more that Trump has done for people.

I have known many wealthy men and have seen some that were generous and some that were misers. They were all business men and good at deals but there were some that just cared for people and situations. This is what I had wanted to hear about Trump, he has my vote.

Well, I don't understand. Even if true(doubtful. Its an urban legend promoted by Trump and his Minions) how does that make anyone qualified to be president?  Frankly, I'd prefer someone with experience in the difficult world of national and international politics even if they are a pragmatic, hard nosed SOB (or DOB).  In my view the GOP has only one half way qualified candidate still running.  He's trailing because he wants to address issues that need to be rather than participate in the constant childish squabbles of the rest of the sorry excuses for statesmen.

Well, I don't understand. Even if true(doubtful considering the source) how does that make anyone qualified to be president?  Frankly, I'd prefer someone with experience in the difficult world of national and international politics even if they are a pragmatic, hard nosed SOB (or DOB).  In my view the GOP has only one half way qualified candidate still running.  He's trailing because he wants to address issues that need to be rather than participate in the constant childish squabbles of the rest of the sorry excuses for statesmen.

Yet the other side has a person who's held several positions within gov't, yet no accomplishments but plenty of scandals and investigations. 

It was bad enough having Obama and Kerry conducting nuclear arms deals with terrorists.  Do you really want Hillary in that seat?  Maybe she'll bring her reset button to the table.

Read in the news today that the Donald has been breaking the law by importing workers and underpaying them although he rants against the practice as stealing American jobs.   Of course I know that the conservative media will justify this particular instance as being justified, just as they predictably demonize other folks who need not be named.

Unfortunately this practice is legal. At least as I understand it.

Top Companies in Canada and US Hire Foreign Workers

In recent years, many Canadian and U.S. companies have found that the decision to hire skilled foreign workers is a necessary business move that brings numerous benefits for employers and employees alike.

IBM reached a settlement with Department of Justice over allegations it discriminated against U.S. software and apps developers by favoring job applicants who held H-1B visas or foreign student visas, according to a statement by the Department of Justice on Friday.In the U.S., several of the nation’s top companies are known for hiring skilled labour from outside the country using H-1B temporary work visas, including Microsoft and IBM.

Kelly Parker was thrilled when she landed her dream job in 2012 providing tech support for Harley-Davidson's Tomahawk, Wisc., plants. The divorced mother of three hoped it was the beginning of a new career with the motorcycle company.

The dream didn't last long. Parker claims she was laid off one year later after she trained her replacement, a newly arrived worker from India.

Thank you O "NOT"

White House travel office controversy

The White House stated the firings were done because financial improprieties in the Travel Office operation during previous administrations had been revealed by an FBI investigation. Critics contended the firings were done to allow friends of President Bill Clinton and First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to take over the travel business and that the involvement of the FBI was unwarranted. Heavy media attention forced the White House to reinstate most of the employees in other jobs and remove the Clinton associates from the travel role.

Hillary Clinton gradually came under scrutiny for allegedly having played a central role in the firings and making false statements about her role in it. In 2000, Independent Counsel Robert Ray issued his final report on Travelgate. He sought no charges against her, saying that while some of Clinton's statements were factually false, there was insufficient evidence that these statements were either knowingly false or that she understood that her statements led to the firings.

I have been saying for 35 yrs (and got a C in Corp Law to prove it) that there is NO obligation to be patriotic for any corporation but there should be

The obligation is to the shareholder

Now if someone wanted to make their own by laws differently that has yet to happen though

If the CEO and Board want to take advantage of tax and worker laws then that is acting in the interest of the shareholders, even outsourcing and big bonus payments get by

Now China and others are snapping up our big corporations because our T bills are worthless compared to owning the whole company its no contest.  

It will take a major crash of the system to get them out, worse than the one that got the Japanese out

Trump is a master of the game but he has produced jobs by his own hand. Who else has done anything but suck on the government hind tit

I guess controling our boarders, killing terrorist and bringing jobs back to the US is a little radical. Just think about whats happening for a minute. Eligal migration is changing the lanscape of our country dramaticaly. Most people crossing the boarder are coming for one thing "FREE STUFF". Paid for by working tax payers. The result is most that work work for low wages. Here in south Florida in the building trade most are from Mexico. They work as subcontractor not directly on the payrolls working for lower wages and getting around minimum wage requirements. Those that are in the tax system and making the so called minimum wage qualify for all kinds of free stuff. There are signs all over Ft Myers in those neighborhoods from tax preparers to come in and get their refund of 3700 for 1 kid 6500 for 2 and 7500 for 3. These people are a socialist thinking society voting for anyone offering free stuff any working person is paying for.(Disclaimer= I am not agains unions.) The other economic pressure in this country driving manufacturing out of the country is unions forcing manyfacturing wages up to were the product gets unafordabe. All government entities require union labor to do anything. No competative bidding by no union. Could save tax payers billions. Government regulations, EPA, Taxes and the like are all pressure on the manufacturing industry to go were labor is low. There for out of the country. Americam auto makers Ford is now building an assembly plant in Mexico. I wonder why? ITW were my son in law works has been told after almost 30 yrs working for them he may loose his job just a few years befor his pension is available. Were are they going? Juarez, some have been offerd jobs to move to Elpaso and work across boarder to train new workers. You say what? Most of China wage scale is what it was here in the 50's and early 60's. I started at 2.35 hr in 61. 35% teriff on a Ford being shipped back to the US from Mexico? Radical? I guess. Maybe not? Just remeber everything gets compounded each time wages taxes and other costs go up. Corporations do not pay taxes. Any tax levied on a corporation or product you pay not the corporation. All is built in to the price.  Is Trump the guy? Who knows. He worries me as well but gets you thinking. Best solution to start with is Value added flat tax paid at point of sale. No Corp taxe no income tax, no sales tax etc. Therefore no tax on tax and no shifting the burdon to the buyer of all hidden taxes. Everyone pays taxes. Even the black market industry, drug dealers etc. If you buy something you pay the tax.  One idea may not be the best. Oh ya and seal the boarder.

Be vewy, vewy careful what you wish for regarding VAT. Or do you mean just a flat tax say about 20% on all purchases?

To me VAT is an ADDED tax not a replacement of a tax system.

I don't think it makes him a hypocrite at all.  I've heard politicians say they would revamp the tax system by eliminating write-offs and loopholes, yet they still use them.  If it's legal at the time, and others are using them, within the law, why shouldn't everyone be able to? 

BTW, Hillary's the biggest hypocrite of them all.  I don't see you calling her names.

Lol. Soon I'll be calling her Madam President.

"A man who is essentially a 24/7 fire hose of unequivocal bigotry."

Wow if the NYT's doesn't like him that is a good thing, thanks just one more reason to like Trump. 

“We are grateful to the Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries.”
—David Rockefeller, Baden-Baden, Germany 1991


Propaganda
 
    is a form of biased communication, aimed at promoting or demoting certain views, perceptions or agendas. Propaganda is often associated with the psychological mechanisms of influencing and altering the attitude of a population toward a specific cause, position or political agenda in an effort to form a consensus to a standard set of belief patterns.

Propaganda is information that is not impartial and is used primarily to influence an audience and further an agenda, often by presenting facts selectively (perhaps lying by omission) to encourage a particular synthesis, or using loaded messages to produce an emotional rather than a rational response to the information presented.

More drivel from French right wing newspapers.  Wiki Quote continues on about that quote

" Purported remarks at a Bilderberg Group meeting in Baden-Baden, Germany in June 1991, The remarks are said to have been printed in several right-wing French publications shortly thereafter; as quoted in Programming, Pitfalls and Puppy-Dog Tales (1993) by Gyeorgos C. Hatonn, p. 65. Skepticism is in order for the accuracy or attribution of alleged remarks from these exclusive meetings, particularly those which could be manifestations of either satire, sarcasm — or outright fraudulence."

[Robert]

Well thats the real problem isn't it the regular news outlets wont report all and unbiased news so we are forced to a supposed lesser source but accurately reported. The supposed reliable sources cannot knock it down to false so lets put up a unverified rating. This is the issue you seek facts but learn from main stream sources that are not unbiased. Dont just spout what they feed you from the Times or other biased sources.  Either party is only two sides of the same coin, it was once said that the reason we have two parties is to keep the people entertained and occupied. So the people will look to either party and think something will change in electing one party or the other.

Really? Trump is inciting violence? These are Trump rallies that Trump has paid for and the people who come to protest are the victims? The protesters in Chicago, denying Trump his civil rights by disrupting his political rally, chanting Bernie, Bernie after they shut the Trump rally down. Yeah, blame Trump.

The violent rhetoric and the violence are coming from a movement against him. Bunches of idiots.

[Robert]

Trumps 1st amendment rights violated in Chicago, and remember when we thought of liberals as accepting everyone's rights. They showed the exact example of what most in the US are tired of uncontrolled violence directed at someone with a different view but violence turned on them is an act of injustice.

    Good going Chicago mayor for breeding a lawless mob attitude and uncontrolled emotional outbursts. When we talk about inciting someone to criminal acts such as stopping a meeting what responsibility do the ones who are disrupting the meeting have. Seems to me if you did a criminal act you were arrested if you have something to protest you did it peacefully. But you did not step on others rights destroy property and stop a meeting that some want to listen to. For that they should have been thrown in jail and have to make restitution.

  This is one of the worst cases of uncontrolled egos I have ever seen, I wonder what would have happened in 08 to O if this had happened.

Criminals stopped a legally organized meeting only 5 arrested the rest bragged on social media.

What if this had been Muslims??

[h13man]

Personally the Chicago quandry last night will make the Trump movement even stronger but I would have picked a better location to have a GOP rally than the UIC campus or Chicago period. The real conservatives live outside Chicago. You know the ones whos taxes support that cess pool of a city. And yes I have personal reasons that I dislike the city not what I see/hear on the media.
