Trump's Carrier deal is not living up to the hype — jobs still going to Mexico

More than 600 employees at a Carrier plant in Indianapolis are bracing for layoffs beginning next month, despite being told by President Trump that nearly all the jobs at the plant had been saved. The deal, announced with great fanfare before Trump took office, was billed not only as a heroic move to keep jobs from going to Mexico but also as a seismic shift in the economic development landscape

Nearly seven months later the deal has not worked out quite as originally advertised, and the landscape has barely budged.

"The jobs are still leaving," said Robert James, president of United Steelworkers Local 1999. "Nothing has stopped."

9 Trump promises the GOP's 'Better Care' act breaks

Senate Republicans on Thursday released their 142-page ObamaCare replacement, optimistically titled the "Better Care Reconciliation Act," after the party's leadership faced criticism for writing the document entirely behind closed doors. While President Trump has quietly implored Republican lawmakers to make their approach to health care less "mean," and to give the bill "more heart," the White House is apparently supportive of "Better Care," much as the administration got behind the House's narrowly passed American Health Care Act.


"It's going to be very good," Trump promised Thursday. "A little negotiation, but it's going to be great,"

Is this a dictatorship or what

Woman Convicted After Laughing At Jeff Sessions Asks Judge To Toss Jury Verdict

WASHINGTON ― A woman who was convicted after laughing at Attorney General Jeff Sessions during his confirmation hearing is asking a judge to throw out the jury’s verdict in her case, contending the jury “was not reasonable in its evaluation of the evidence.”

An attorney for Desiree Fairooz argued there is no evidence that her laughter disrupted or disturbed the hearing, and that she shouldn’t be convicted for questioning the reason for her arrest after she was taken into custody.

“Ms. Fairooz’s brief reflective burst of noise, be it laughter or an audible gasp, clearly cannot sustain a conviction for either of the counts in the information,” her lawyer, Sam Bogash, wrote. “So the only other basis for her conviction to anything are her statements after the U.S. Capitol Police arrested her for that laughing. Those statements merely expressed surprise at being arrested.”

I forgot you are in Canada ... sorry! Republicans know what I was saying & asking, and can't take issue with it. The NRA (Nat'l Rifle Assoc) owns that party, "bigtime".
No worries. But even here I am familiar with the NRA and the ARA. And to partially quote Charlton Heston I dare not even approach you to "pry [any of your guns] from your cold, dead hands" out of respect to you lest I be tormented by @MacNfries from the grave.:ghost::confused::eek::cold::ghost:
 
used to piss me off.... heston and john wayne my 2 heros as a kid..... only to find out later they are right wingers!
note: I am a big gun supporter... even us lib's like our guns!
I have no problems with guns you know I have supported those that desire them in the past if they are responsible gun owners that use them for defensive purposes only and trains their skills with them in gun ranges or in isolated places where no one can get hurt.
 
flattery!



hahahha
It's a fact I can't out do you with your memes? Is it wrong to say that? As we recognized in the recent past we have some similarities that I can respect. No harm in saying that either. Guns are another such issue provided law abiding responsible people own them. Even a stove/oven or a microwave in the wrong hands can *******, but that's not being said and people don't need licenses to own them because of the fact that no one is dying from mishandling them. The only thing questionable are pressure cookers these days because the DAESH minded Tsarnaev brothers used it as a weapon in the Boston Marathon Bombing in 2013.
