  • Post Election Discussion & News

    Perhaps a single thread would be helpful for all of the post election discussions?

    I couldn't help but get a chuckle when I read this story. I first heard about it when watching the CBS Morning show. They didn't go into the story much and two of the three co-hosts didn't understand what the big deal is.

    What made me chuckle? As I was reading the story, I was interrupted by a "Recommended for you" Ad for another Ivanka Trump item.

    Ivanka Trump panned for hawking $10,800 bracelet worn on '60 Minutes'

      Here is another story about the insane reaction from consumers post election. This one is in regards to a boycott of Pepsi products from Trump supporters because of a debunked story that the CEO told them (Trump supporters) to take their business elsewhere.

      Like Steve said in the other thread where I posted the New Balance story, people do not want to educate themselves. They just want to read and react.

            Well said

            America needs to stop freaking out about things Trump hasn't even done yet

              Did you roll your eyes at the suggestion that a Muslim Registry has precedent? Because of Japanese Internment camps? I laughed watching that one with Megan Kelly even saying that you can't use an internment camp as precedent.

                I didn't read or watch any news all weekend.

                  Trump has a plan for government workers. They’re not going to like it.



                  "Hiring freezes, an end to automatic raises, a green light to fire poor performers, a ban on union business on the government’s dime and less generous pensions — these are the contours of the blueprint emerging under Republican control of Washington in January."

                  About time.

"To think otherwise is a complete misrepresentation of the movement that united Americans from all backgrounds."

                        Do you see the word alt-right in the so called "denouncement"? Another blanket statement that holds no true value.

                        Seems like he is way more pissed off at SNL and Hamilton than people painting him as the leader of the alt-right..I wonder why...Oh yeah..perhaps he is cool with the alt right and to distract everyone from talking about his 25 million dollar settlement for committing fraud.

                          Nothing he says or does is going to mean anything to the alt-left.

                            Perhaps it's because he have said NOTHING

                            Where's his tweet about this alt right and their white nation talk? No? 4 tweets about Hamilton but nothing about this? No tweets about hate crimes surging? No? Crickets? What exactly have he done for unity so far beside having his closest supporters calling these people protesting idiots and snowflakes? More crickets?

                            Yeah...I would love to drink some of that Kool-Aid you are downing.

                              I am not drinking any Kool-Aid, but it seems like you overdosed on some.
