Trump - not even sworn in and yet covered in scandal.

[rdean]

"Threats"? Care to expound on that?

First he threatened Carrier that he would slap a 35% tarriff on any foreign made products coming back into the US
Then he likely threatened to ban Carrier's parent company from federal contracts.

Those are threats.

"Likely" isn't proof of anything.

What if he had? Didn't the government threaten to take away funds from North Carolina over gay marriage? If the states don't follow standards they lose, federal money and grants.

We are keeping jobs in America, the left has bitched for a long time that this is what we should be doing, now that a President has the balls to make them stay, the left is upset.

Idiots!

Republicans point to failed prejudicial actions as government interference. If they can't demonstrate their hate against different minorities, they get really pissed.
Remember, it's everyone else who needs protections from Republican hate. The GOP wants to either lock up people or deport them. Just somehow, get rid of the "wrong" type of people.

Thanks, your post has nothing to do with the subject or than the fact you can interject hate and Republicans.

The fact is the government uses money to control behavior and you on the left approve of it, now when it is Trump trying to keep jobs in America, a stand liberals have had for years, you are now opposed, you are all hypocritical babies, go get your blankie and go suck on your thumb.

Trump is not trying to keep jobs in America. Trump is creating a photo op hoping his ignorant base will look no further and so far, he's right.

This is what I wrote:

Carrier is owned by United Technologies. United Technologies has a revenue of over 56 billion a year.

10% of that business goes to the United States government.That means the US does 5.6 billion in business with UTC a year.

Carrier has a revenue of 100 million a year. No mention of United Technologies Electronic Controls which is also in Indiana, has 700 jobs and is also moving to Mexico and is also owned by UTC.

Both plants are very profitable and pay their workers $23 an hour on average. But moving to Mexico, they could squeeze a tiny bit more money out of both those companies. So the Trump administration threatens the company, just a little, that maybe some of those 5.6 billion in government contracts might go someplace else.

Carrier revenue is less than 2% of the business UTC does with the federal government. Carrier, stay or go is still profitable. So Carrier stays.

UTC keeps it's 5.6 billion in government contracts. UTEC still moves it's 700 jobs to Mexico. Trump looks like a hero. Everyone is happy. And all it took was a little big government blackmail. Will it be that easy in the future?

So will it be that easy in the future? Of course not. It's not that easy now. And what about the 700 jobs from UTEC? Owned by the same company. In the same state. Moving to the same location. Why only Carrier?

It's just a photo op. That's what scam artists do. Carrier is Trump's snake oil. And you just bought a bottle.

I know, I know, you're gonna say "Oh, you asshole, you don't want jobs in this country. Dirty liberal. Wahhhh!"

The truth is we need policies that create jobs IN THIS COUNTRY. The only reason United Technologies is letting Carrier stay is because they got more concessions than the ones they got when Carrier moved there a few years ago and the 5.6 billion in government contracts. They don't want to mess those up.

You guys gotta look at the big picture.

Big picture, that $5.6 billion is going to be awarded to someone. We kept 1000 jobs in the US. A 1000 people paying taxes, 1000 people not going on unemployment.

Spin it anyway you want, 1000 jobs stay in the US. I hope they find a way to keep the 700 here also.

I know since it is Trump, you want to see jobs leave the US.

Can I read you guys or what?

Already people from UTEC are protesting where Trump is going to speak and asking why their 700 jobs are being moved to Mexico. After all, they work for the same company.

What's Trump gonna say? A thousand is his limit? Why is he spending time on this photo op and not crafting policy that keeps a couple of million jobs here?

And now, with the tax concessions and the millions they said they will spend. That can only mean one thing. AUTOMATION. Come back in a year and found out how many of those jobs actually exist. And how many have been lost to automation. Remember, Carrier is only promising to keep the company here, nothing about the jobs.

Scam artist tea. Take a sip. Delicious going down, ravaging coming out.

Democrats make education affordable? LOL, ok.

I once knew a guy who was in the continuing education program at the Virginia-based for-profit institution of higher learning, Strayer University. He was majoring in marketing.

One day at work, while we were each at our computers, he asked me a question having something to do with marketing. Without looking up or stopping what I was doing, I answered. A few minutes later, he asked me another. I answered. Then he asked another, then another. In all, he asked me something like 25 questions, and I gave him 25 answers all the while continuing what I was working on. It turned out I'd taken his “midterm” for him without knowing it.

I hadn't “attended” any of his on-line classes, nor read any texts for this course. I was working on something else when I took an exam I didn't even know I was taking, and still, despite having no training, background, or even interest in marketing, I aced it.

In other words, the course had zero value. Well, zero value to the students, anyway. It had enormous value to Strayer University's owners.

Strayer charges $14,562.50 tuition per student per year—even for their online courses. The federal government covers roughly 90 percent of it. (See how affordable!) As of February 2013, there were 48,000 total students “attending” Strayer. That means taxpayers forked over more than $629 million dollars to Strayer's owners in 2013, the year CEO Robert S. Silberman, whose $41.5 million compensation in 2009 made him that year's highest paid CEO in the DC area, was named executive chairman of the board.

That's a lot of money the American taxpayer is paying for guys like my former colleague to take worthless courses toward a degree in a discipline for which he wasn't even competent to handle the Whiffle Ball version.

Yet, the Department of Education (DoEd) is advertising another 150 billion of those taxpayer dollars available to cover more tuition costs at US schools again this year. Under the heading, “Why go to college?”, the website explains:

Here’s a simple equation: a college or career school education = more money, more job options, and more freedom...as you get more education, you’ll make more money and have more job opportunities.

In other words, not only is government policy reinforcing the vulgar notion that the point of becoming an educated person is to make money, it promises it. You will make more money if you go sit in a magical room somewhere while something called “college” happens to you.

But, it's not at all surprising that people who achieve more academically will, after graduation, achieve more in their careers. It would be odd if it were otherwise. Moreover there are numerous examples to the contrary. The DoEd's claim that one causes the other is flatly misleading.

But, why would the DoEd disseminate false information in order to entice citizens to claim a piece of $150 billion of other citizens' money and send it off to pay the tuition at fake universities offering worthless classes to unqualified students? The Center for Responsive Politics shows the for-profit education industry spends six million dollars per year lobbying the federal government and certainly that must provide some incentive, but if six million dollars is all it takes to kick loose 150 billion, these guys are realizing an annual return on investment of two and a half million percent—a level of nation-looting that would make a Russian oligarch blush.

Two thirds of Strayer's students are women and over half are African American or Hispanic and it is among this population, i.e., those with little experience of college, where you'll find the most receptive audience for the DoEd's fraudulent claim that college = financial success.

The Strayer ad at right featuring Michelle Obama in a cap and gown and giving some sort of victory salute indicates Strayer knows whom to target. Thousands of black Americans will respond to this ad, many sincerely believing they are taking legitimate steps toward making something of themselves. Unfortunately, they aren't so much students as they are Social Security numbers serving as a conduit for funneling hundreds of millions of dollars away from taxpayers and into the pockets of the owners of Strayer University.

And blacks aren't the only ones being used to swindle the American people For world class plundering, you need the world, and so on the DoEd's website, under the slogan “Proud sponsor of the American mind” , we read, “Many non-U.S. citizens qualify for federal student aid. Don’t assume you can’t get aid just because you’re not a citizen.” But, of course.

Kalinsky and his ilk plunder with a brazen insatiability that mark them as men who act without fear of being punished, and without fear of public censure. Indeed, they have little to fear from our watchdog press, which is not only failing to guard the hen house, it's helping the fox cart the hens away.

In an article in the New York Times about a five thousand dollar buy-in charity poker tournament he held for other Wall Street financiers, we learn what a wonderful person Strayer University's Steven B. Klinsky is. Mr. Klinsky is a charitable humanitarian, the clearly admiring Times reporter Jennifer 8. Leereports eagerly, who opens charter schools and after-school programs for disadvantaged children in predominantly black neighborhoods like East New York and Harlem.

Strayer University and others are defrauding the American public on a massive scale. And the New York Times, which had no trouble defending blacks against the racist horrors inflicted on them by the “local white power structure” in Ferguson, Missouri last year—racist horrors dreamed up by the New York Times—hasn't seemed to notice the actual and substantial harm to blacks being committed on a large scale by Strayer. Instead, the Times runs a fawning article touting the paternal benevolence toward the black community of Strayer's owner—Steven B. Klinsky—cynically pinning those black children on his lapel like so many virtue ribbons and helping Mr. Klinsky maintain his parasitical attachment on the dying American republic.

Melania comes to the US on a tourist VISA & illegally works as a model. Trump imported models for his Trump Modeling Agency the exact same way.

Not only did Trump make money off this illegal activity, he got to grope all sorts of young women. A trait that helped him win the election.

Evidence of illegal action?

Become better informed. Coming into the US as a tourist & working is illegal.

What if he had? Didn't the government threaten to take away funds from North Carolina over gay marriage? If the states don't follow standards they lose, federal money and grants.

We are keeping jobs in America, the left has bitched for a long time that this is what we should be doing, now that a President has the balls to make them stay, the left is upset.

Idiots!

Republicans point to failed prejudicial actions as government interference. If they can't demonstrate their hate against different minorities, they get really pissed.

10% of that business goes to the United States government.That means the US does 5.6 billion in business with UTC a year.

Carrier has a revenue of 100 million a year. No mention of United Technologies Electronic Controls which is also in Indiana, has 700 jobs and is also moving to Mexico and is also owned by UTC.

Both plants are very profitable and pay their workers $23 an hour on average. But moving to Mexico, they could squeeze a tiny bit more money out of both those companies. So the Trump administration threatens the company, just a little, that maybe some of those 5.6 billion in government contracts might go someplace else.

Carrier revenue is less than 2% of the business UTC does with the federal government. Carrier, stay or go is still profitable. So Carrier stays.

UTC keeps it's 5.6 billion in government contracts. UTEC still moves it's 700 jobs to Mexico. Trump looks like a hero. Everyone is happy. And all it took was a little big government blackmail. Will it be that easy in the future?

So will it be that easy in the future? Of course not. It's not that easy now. And what about the 700 jobs from UTEC? Owned by the same company. In the same state. Moving to the same location. Why only Carrier?

It's just a photo op. That's what scam artists do. Carrier is Trump's snake oil. And you just bought a bottle.

I know, I know, you're gonna say "Oh, you asshole, you don't want jobs in this country. Dirty liberal. Wahhhh!"

The truth is we need policies that create jobs IN THIS COUNTRY. The only reason United Technologies is letting Carrier stay is because they got more concessions than the ones they got when Carrier moved there a few years ago and the 5.6 billion in government contracts. They don't want to mess those up.

You guys gotta look at the big picture.

IOW, Trump is starting to act like a democrat politician. And you're complaining?

Acting like a Democrat? Making education affordable? Creating job opportunities? Helping people prepare for those jobs?

That's what Democrats do.

Republicans? mmm Not so much.

Oh, you poor deluded, naive lamb, actually believing politicians' rhetoric. Tell us, how are democrats right now making education more affordable? How are democrats right now creating new job opportunities? How are they helping people prepare for those jobs?

Melania comes to the US on a tourist VISA & illegally works as a model. Trump imported models for his Trump Modeling Agency the exact same way.

Not only did Trump make money off this illegal activity, he got to grope all sorts of young women. A trait that helped him win the election.

Evidence of illegal action?

Become better informed. Coming into the US as a tourist & working is illegal.

We were told ad nauseum that Hillary was innocent of all wrong doing because she was not convicted of a crime. Was Melania?

 

[hadit]

Republicans point to failed prejudicial actions as government interference. If they can't demonstrate their hate against different minorities, they get really pissed.
Remember, it's everyone else who needs protections from Republican hate. The GOP wants to either lock up people or deport them. Just somehow, get rid of the "wrong" type of people.

Thanks, your post has nothing to do with the subject or than the fact you can interject hate and Republicans.

The fact is the government uses money to control behavior and you on the left approve of it, now when it is Trump trying to keep jobs in America, a stand liberals have had for years, you are now opposed, you are all hypocritical babies, go get your blankie and go suck on your thumb.

Trump is not trying to keep jobs in America. Trump is creating a photo op hoping his ignorant base will look no further and so far, he's right.

Democrats make education affordable? LOL, ok.

I once knew a guy who was in the continuing education program at the Virginia-based for-profit institution of higher learning, Strayer University. He was majoring in marketing.

One day at work, while we were each at our computers, he asked me a question having something to do with marketing. Without looking up or stopping what I was doing, I answered. A few minutes later, he asked me another. I answered. Then he asked another, then another. In all, he asked me something like 25 questions, and I gave him 25 answers all the while continuing what I was working on. It turned out I'd taken his “midterm” for him without knowing it.

I hadn't “attended” any of his on-line classes, nor read any texts for this course. I was working on something else when I took an exam I didn't even know I was taking, and still, despite having no training, background, or even interest in marketing, I aced it.

In other words, the course had zero value. Well, zero value to the students, anyway. It had enormous value to Strayer University's owners.

Strayer charges $14,562.50 tuition per student per year—even for their online courses. The federal government covers roughly 90 percent of it. (See how affordable!) As of February 2013, there were 48,000 total students “attending” Strayer. That means taxpayers forked over more than $629 million dollars to Strayer's owners in 2013, the year CEO Robert S. Silberman, whose $41.5 million compensation in 2009 made him that year's highest paid CEO in the DC area, was named executive chairman of the board.

That's a lot of money the American taxpayer is paying for guys like my former colleague to take worthless courses toward a degree in a discipline for which he wasn't even competent to handle the Whiffle Ball version.

Yet, the Department of Education (DoEd) is advertising another 150 billion of those taxpayer dollars available to cover more tuition costs at US schools again this year. Under the heading, “Why go to college?”, the website explains:

Here’s a simple equation: a college or career school education = more money, more job options, and more freedom...as you get more education, you’ll make more money and have more job opportunities.

In other words, not only is government policy reinforcing the vulgar notion that the point of becoming an educated person is to make money, it promises it. You will make more money if you go sit in a magical room somewhere while something called “college” happens to you.

But, it's not at all surprising that people who achieve more academically will, after graduation, achieve more in their careers. It would be odd if it were otherwise. Moreover there are numerous examples to the contrary. The DoEd's claim that one causes the other is flatly misleading.

But, why would the DoEd disseminate false information in order to entice citizens to claim a piece of $150 billion of other citizens' money and send it off to pay the tuition at fake universities offering worthless classes to unqualified students? The Center for Responsive Politics shows the for-profit education industry spends six million dollars per year lobbying the federal government and certainly that must provide some incentive, but if six million dollars is all it takes to kick loose 150 billion, these guys are realizing an annual return on investment of two and a half million percent—a level of nation-looting that would make a Russian oligarch blush.

Two thirds of Strayer's students are women and over half are African American or Hispanic and it is among this population, i.e., those with little experience of college, where you'll find the most receptive audience for the DoEd's fraudulent claim that college = financial success.

The Strayer ad at right featuring Michelle Obama in a cap and gown and giving some sort of victory salute indicates Strayer knows whom to target. Thousands of black Americans will respond to this ad, many sincerely believing they are taking legitimate steps toward making something of themselves. Unfortunately, they aren't so much students as they are Social Security numbers serving as a conduit for funneling hundreds of millions of dollars away from taxpayers and into the pockets of the owners of Strayer University.

And blacks aren't the only ones being used to swindle the American people For world class plundering, you need the world, and so on the DoEd's website, under the slogan “Proud sponsor of the American mind” , we read, “Many non-U.S. citizens qualify for federal student aid. Don’t assume you can’t get aid just because you’re not a citizen.” But, of course.

Kalinsky and his ilk plunder with a brazen insatiability that mark them as men who act without fear of being punished, and without fear of public censure. Indeed, they have little to fear from our watchdog press, which is not only failing to guard the hen house, it's helping the fox cart the hens away.

In an article in the New York Times about a five thousand dollar buy-in charity poker tournament he held for other Wall Street financiers, we learn what a wonderful person Strayer University's Steven B. Klinsky is. Mr. Klinsky is a charitable humanitarian, the clearly admiring Times reporter Jennifer 8. Leereports eagerly, who opens charter schools and after-school programs for disadvantaged children in predominantly black neighborhoods like East New York and Harlem.

Strayer University and others are defrauding the American public on a massive scale. And the New York Times, which had no trouble defending blacks against the racist horrors inflicted on them by the “local white power structure” in Ferguson, Missouri last year—racist horrors dreamed up by the New York Times—hasn't seemed to notice the actual and substantial harm to blacks being committed on a large scale by Strayer. Instead, the Times runs a fawning article touting the paternal benevolence toward the black community of Strayer's owner—Steven B. Klinsky—cynically pinning those black children on his lapel like so many virtue ribbons and helping Mr. Klinsky maintain his parasitical attachment on the dying American republic.

The ugly secret is that going to college doesn't get you better jobs, GRADUATING from college with a decent degree does. Ramming more unprepared and unqualified freshmen into the wide end of the funnel does them less than no good if they end up dropping out after getting saddled with tens of thousands in loans that they can't pay back.

 

[Dragonlady]

Myself congrats to Trump, my candidate lost and now we move on, hopefully the Democrats will not rig the primaries next time and they give us a real candidate.

The primaries were never rigged. That's yet another Republican lie. There was discussion of rigging the Super Delegates, if necessary, to keep a life-long independent from stealing the nomination from a life-long Democrat, but Hillary won both the popular vote and the super-delegates, so the Sanders people don't have a leg to stand on when criticizing the nominating process.

The ugly secret is that while students feared "flunking out" of college in our day, nobody is expelled for poor marks today. The colleges are desperate to retain students because they need their tuition money. I have friends who teach college in the mid-west and they say that if they fail too many students they get called up on the carpet for it, and told to find a way to "help the student succeed". One friend who teaches English said "He doesn't attend classes, hasn't handed in single assignment, and flunked the exam. How can I pass him?", and was told that if a student fails her class, she hasn't tried hard enough to reach him, and if this behaviour continues, it will reflect badly in her evaluation.

 

[ShaklesOfBigGov]

It's kind of funny how rdean spent the last 8 years denying every news story about scandals in the White House and yet Trump hasn't even been sworn in yet and already he is pouncing on every story with unshakable faith in them.

Come on. Trump U was a scandal or Trump wouldn't have paid $25,000,000.00 to make it go away. Trump Foundation is uncertified and illegal, that's why it's received a cease and desist order from the NY Attorney General. The 75 lawsuits are real. There are court documents.

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU???????

Next time, spend a minute thinking. It helps.

Trump's foundation was certified illegal and ordered to cease all further actions by an individual who happens to also be a Clinton supporter. Yet only one foundation has caught the attention worthy enough for an ongoing FBI investigation. It would appear working as secretary and state while your foundation continues to receive donations from certain unpopular foreign leaders, who you happen to coincidentally also have had discussions with, is enough to raise a few eyebrows of some federal investigators. Although liberal media sources were quick to invent some allegations of their own between Russia and the Trump Foundation, but the FBI apparently didn't trust the sources behind those allegations.

Nothing spoken of Trump has elevated to the level and seriousness of handling government documents, to which we know more about Hillary's emails than any other secretary who has taken her position, or something that evidently appears shady concerning commitment to foreign donors while "supposedly" representing our government's interests.

So with a political black eye, liberals will be elevating anything Trump does as a scandal. Perhaps you can use how much he tips his doorman as a scandal if you are so desperate for one.

So much bullshit.

At least you admit the Trump foundation was illegal and scamming dupes for their money.

The FBI, the CIA and a half dozen congressional investigations using unlimited taxpayer money couldn't find anything wrong with Hillary or the Clinton Foundation. They are the most vetted political candidates and foundations on earth with all the high level investigations turning up nothing.

The FBI was on the side of Trump.

“Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets. We see a lot of money pouring in from Russia,” Trump’s son, Donald Jr., said at a real estate conference in 2008, according to a trade publication, eTurboNews.

We know from Trump's son they have Russian ties, unless you are calling him a liar.

The Trump Foundation was given an order to cease its operations from a governor who is a Clinton supporter. There is also no bullshit to the truth that the only Foundation to raise the interest and eyebrows of the FBI was the Clinton Foundation. The left wing media tried to state a connection to Russia that somehow compromised our national interests, the agents of the FBI didn't find the reports credible ELSE those agents WOULD HAVE seen the need to further conduct an investigation of their own.

It was also truthful that we know more about correspondence involving Hillary Clinton's emails, than any Secretary of State who previously held that position.

FACTS ARE FACTS.

As far as Trump's son. Global privately owned businesses often are found expanding beyond the borders of just the United States in their effort to earn a profit. Are we going to have a conspiracy theory conniption fit because the owners of Ford Motor Company decided to build and do business in China?

As I've said before, liberal Democrats have a political black eye, and as a result are looking to find anything they could use on Trump in order to create a scandal. To keep attention away from Hillary I suppose, or to make her FBI investigations seem a little less significant in comparison ( lots of luck on that one ).
When the FBI is found to be investigating as intently and to the degree that we have seen with Mrs. Clinton, let me know. All I see is desperate mud slinging in hopes something sticks.

Justify what you need to justify, the DNC didn't want Bernie and the emails proved they were going to defeat Hillary, too bad, I think Bernie would have been the President elect right now if the Dems would have let him. However, the Dems got their choice in Clinton, great job! Dems should be proud.

Why is he spending time on this photo op and not crafting policy that keeps a couple of million jobs here?

And now, with the tax concessions and the millions they said they will spend. That can only mean one thing. AUTOMATION. Come back in a year and found out how many of those jobs actually exist. And how many have been lost to automation. Remember, Carrier is only promising to keep the company here, nothing about the jobs.

Scam artist tea. Take a sip. Delicious going down, ravaging coming out.

You can't seem to crawl out of the hole you've dug with Hillary.

I realize you can't admit you backed a loser and that the guy you hate is actually trying to do something.

Why not a policy to keep a couple of million jobs here ? I agree....after all, Obama did that......oh, wait. He could care less.

He only saved jobs when it mean votes.

Automation is a crime...? Really ?

What if he had? Didn't the government threaten to take away funds from North Carolina over gay marriage? If the states don't follow standards they lose, federal money and grants.

We are keeping jobs in America, the left has bitched for a long time that this is what we should be doing, now that a President has the balls to make them stay, the left is upset.

Idiots!

Big picture, that $5.6 billion is going to be awarded to someone. We kept 1000 jobs in the US. A 1000 people paying taxes, 1000 people not going on unemployment.

Spin it anyway you want, 1000 jobs stay in the US. I hope they find a way to keep the 700 here also.

I know since it is Trump, you want to see jobs leave the US.

Aaahhh haa you fucking asshole. You said just what I said you would. (I know, I know, you're gonna say "Oh, you asshole, you don't want jobs in this country. Dirty liberal. Wahhhh!")

Can I read you guys or what?

Already people from UTEC are protesting where Trump is going to speak and asking why their 700 jobs are being moved to Mexico. After all, they work for the same company.

What's Trump gonna say? A thousand is his limit? Why is he spending time on this photo op and not crafting policy that keeps a couple of million jobs here?

They know why their jobs are being moved to Mexico. Because progressives push jobs overseas with idiotic communist economic policy. That's why the American people overwhelmingly voted for Donald Trump, snowflake...
