PGT: President-Elect Donald J Trump

[wwkayaker]

Well, I did just that search while you were denouncing my research skills. If you read my previous post, you would have read my statement regarding less than ideal google search terms and my intent to find more info. I don't know how reputable Salon is but here is an alternative viewpoint.

This article points to violence being initiated by Trump supporters who attacked Trump protesters.

Here is another link yet the use of anarchist causes ambiguity.

"Find more info" except when someone presented you with a video and links to multiple news sources your post was simply to discredit it. I'm not sure who you are trying to lie to but unless you've been literally living under a rock, there's no possible way you haven't heard of the incidents as a result of the protests.

This isn't another viewpoint. There are idiots on both sides, it's fact. In some cases anti-Trump protesters are the 'aggressors,' in others it's the pro-Trump protesters.

One wonders if Trump's vetting process is "leak a rumour to the media about this guy getting that post and seeing what they write about".

Retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, who has reportedly been offered the role of national security adviser in Donald Trump’s White House, began receiving classified national security briefings last summer while he was also running a private consulting firm that offered “all-source intelligence support” to international clients.

Flynn’s relationship with his overseas clients is coming in for new scrutiny amid recent disclosures that two months ago, during the height of the presidential campaign, his consulting firm, the Flynn Intel Group, registered to lobby for a Dutch company owned by a wealthy Turkish businessman close to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey.

Robert Kelley, the chief counsel to the Flynn Intel Group, read a statement from Flynn to Yahoo News on Thursday, promising that “if I return to government service, my relationship with my company will be severed, in accordance with the policy announced by President-elect Trump.”

But critics today dismissed Flynn’s pledge as “Too little, too late,” given that he began sitting in on U.S. intelligence briefings for Trump in August while working for foreign clients. Classified national security briefings are by tradition provided to the major presidential candidates and their top aides.

Is Heskayna Newz reputable? I didn't watch the video. If it was from a source that seemed worthwhile I would have watched it. Did you understand the article I posted in which anarchist was used? I said it was ambiguous because it is unclear as to who started the violence. After reading a couple of articles, it is clear that both sides are causing issues.

Thanks for calling me a liar. How respectful! I acknowledged hearing of protests but, no, I didn't see any news indicating violence. That is why I asked him to provide info on the violent protests. If you are going to jump into the conversation, read up on the previous comments.

The video was mostly clips from KGW, a Portland news channel...

I don't really know what you're getting at with your article. There has been well-documented violent protests across the States for days. There have been hundreds of arrests in Portland and LA. These have been shown on pretty much every station. I can't escape it and I want to. You're arguing that you hadn't heard of it, and when someone linked a video and articles to the washingtonpost, you simply ignored it because, I assume, it didn't fit some type of narrative you're going for.

And when someone presented you with multiple links you tried to shut them down. It's not a secret, there's been violence in Portland. Cops have had injuries, teargas has been used. It's more well-documented than, let's say, Chicago winning the World Series. If you came into a thread and asked for evidence that the Cubbies won the World Series and someone linked you to multiple articles and a video of them rushing the field after winning and your first post was "Lolz! Bleacher Report is a reputable news source now?" while ignoring the TSN article that was also linked... It would be quite clear you just don't want to admit the Cubs won.

Why are you asking seems like you already made up your mind.

Nope, my mind is open to new info. I tried to find info regarding the reputation of Hezakya Newz. I'm done for the night and heading back under my rock. Good night.

Spoiler!

The same organizations also donated to the Clinton Foundation, so even if you accept that Hillary took the money and never expected anything in return (a gigantic stretch) she accepted money from the same groups that fund ISIL. There is way more of this kind of stuff in the Wikileaks documents if you take the time to read them.

So getting money from Saudi Arabia is bad because they fund ISIS...

Saudi's are major investors in Fox News...

Now what?

President-elect Donald J. Trump claimed credit on Thursday night for persuading Ford to keep an automaking plant in Kentucky rather than moving it to Mexico. The only wrinkle: Ford was not actually planning to move the plant.

Mr. Trump wrote on Twitter shortly after 9 p.m. that Ford’s chairman, William Clay Ford Jr., had just told him that Ford “will be keeping the Lincoln plant in Kentucky — no Mexico.”

Minutes later, Mr. Trump wrote in a second post: “I worked hard with Bill Ford to keep the Lincoln plant in Kentucky. I owed it to the great State of Kentucky for their confidence in me!” Mr. Trump won 62.5 percent of the state’s popular vote in the presidential election.

But Ford had not planned to close the Louisville factory. Instead, it had planned to expand production of another vehicle made in Louisville, the Ford Escape. And the change had not been expected to result in any job losses.

“Whatever happens in Louisville, it will not lose employment,” Jimmy Settles, a union official, told The Detroit Free Press. “They cannot make enough Escapes.”

Now, thanks to Mr. Trump, the plant will make fewer Escapes — and more MKCs.

“We are encouraged that President-elect Trump and the new Congress will pursue policies that will improve U.S. competitiveness and make it possible to keep production of this vehicle here in the United States,” Ford said in a statement.

Bill O’Reilly: Trump Should Accept Paris Climate Agreement

That email is a bad thing? Hmm, sounded remarkably sober and appropriate.

O'Reilly is a practicing Catholic and the Pope did say climate change is an issue and said that "sins against the environment are sins against God". Too bad most don't pay attention to that stuff any more.

Most of what I'm seeing posted in regards to Trump, is just sour grapes. Nobody knows what Trump will do, not even Trump.

At 7pm on election night, his campaign manager said the following: "We never got the full support of the national GOP". Now that was before a single vote had been counted. They fully expected to lose, no one is more shocked about this than Trump. That election night picture really did say a lot with the "Holy #### what have I done?" look on his face. I think we all know what a Trump Presidency will be, other people doing most of the work and Trump making the final decision. So it'll probably be a standard GOP Presidency, just with a lot more hate and anger.

OReilly, the pope or the environment?

In a complete turnaround from his previous position, President-elect Donald Trump is nearing a settlement of the fraud cases brought in New York and California involving his now defunct for-profit Trump University, the Daily News has learned.

Under the emerging deal being negotiated by Trump's lawyers, New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman and the law firm that brought a class action lawsuit regarding Trump University in California, the president-elect will agree to pay between $20 million and $25 million to settle the matter, a source with knowledge of the situation said.

Trump will not admit to any wrongdoing in the final agreement, which could be announced as soon as Friday, the source said.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Yes, the guy who doesn't pay people who don't do good work is giving away $25 million of his own money because he did nothing wrong. Good for the plaintiffs though.

[PepsiFree]

Sure, they're not all racists. Some are just thirsty guys that don't even know what real discrimination feels like:

If only I could do this in my job. Announce that I'm going to do something and then have bunch of journalists & experts do all the research and work for me for free.
