Post Election Discussion & News

Guys,

I am locking this thread to prevent a flame war.

Saw a reference the other day regarding an Ivanka quote saying if Mr. Trump wasn't her dad she would spray him with mace. I rolled my eyes when I saw it assuming it was said jokingly or somehow taken out of context.

Stumbled upon this story regarding that 2006 quote, which was debunked IN 2006!!!!

Way to go Journalist Sarah Kendzior for Tweeting out a debunked quote.

Would love to be a fly on Ivanka's bedroom wall to hear the late night chatter with hubs. No, not the sexual stuff. The little chats you have with your spouse before going to sleep. Like "why can't my dad stay the F off Twitter?"

It really disturbs me to think that this childish behavior might continue once he's in office. Hopefully, someone on his team will finally get through to him and tell him he needs to stop the nonsense and start behaving like the President of the United States.

Yeah, it is disturbing. I was hoping the temperament during his acceptance speech would continue and that the demands of the job at hand would keep him from this type of nonsense.

A product getting hammered with negative ratings by people that never bought the product. People have way too much time on their hands.

That's awesome. Thanks for the laugh. Funny stuff.

Some of the reviews were funny, some were lame. Still it is sad that Amazon doesn't have a better way to deal with these situations.

Also, negatively reviewing a product you have never purchased is shady and shows lack of character.

I didn't read them all but the funny ones were very clearly not actual product reviews. They were satire pure and simple.

Honestly not much of an Amazon shopper, but I know other online retailers allow shoppers to narrow their search based on rating. So fake reviews can impact what products legit consumers see.

Fair point. In this case, though, it just means selling fewer Trump ornaments. I'm okay with that.

Trump is acting like an a$#&$(%e and no one is stopping him. I wonder if anyone will be able to reign his tongue in and how long until he even embarasses his supporters? And people stop making excuses for him?

Half the country are indifferent or loves his twitter behavior. It's not like he is acting out of character.

Plus the more nonsense he creates with his tweets, the less we know about what is really going on behind the scenes (*cough...doing and accepting favors with high level diplomats to get his hotels built in countries that once gave him problems...cough*)

Trevor Noah brought up a really good point. No one really knows a thing about Trump's 600 businesses or any of this business dealings around the world. We don't even know if he paid taxes or not. But we sure know a lot about emails and more emails....that revealed nothing of importance...

I don't know how American voters want to fight corruption by having someone so secretive in the white house....everything is backwards..it's pretty amazing.
