I don’t actually care about a temporary blip in Boeing stock. But I do care if Trump is trying to punish someone for saying they like trade. So here we are. Trump claims to want more manufacturing in the United States but is apparently prepared to lie about one of America’s biggest manufacturers out of spite.

    After all, if there’s someone else more famous out there lying about Boeing out of spite, that’s a direct threat to Goldy’s job security.

    Nothing wrong with applying a bit of heat to the “hottest Senator”.

    GOP spending bill would expedite Mattis waiver

    “Senator Gillibrand, you’ve made exploratory phone calls to major party donors to gauge support for a potential run for the presidency in 2020. As a future presidential candidate, can you explain why you oppose funding support to clean up the water in Flint, Michigan, and to keep our nation safe from foreign threats?”

    At least, were she a Republican that’s the type of questioning we’d hear from the Fourth Estate.

    Remember what I thought of Air Force 1? I’d sell that damn gold-plated extravagance and return the money to the Treasury. If I needed to go somewhere, I’d buy a ticket or charter a plane. It would be cheaper than maintaining that 747 and all the support people to keep it going.

    Focus on the lie and you fail to notice the power behind the lie.
    Sure, Muilenberg has power. It’s a nice little power that comes with running a nice little company.
    But Our Leader has yuuuuuuuge power. Tremendous power and authority that can destroy little companies and little nations if they displease him.

    This was the biggest nothingburger since Goldy posted that the sale of a building in Seattle was some sort of proof that a minimum wage increase that had yet to take effect wasn’t hurting business.

    Nearly all of the related market activity occurred before the market opened.

    http://www.marketwatch.com/sto.....2016-12-06

    It was a blip. Someone probably made or lost something but it was probably limit orders automatically executing pre-market more than anything else.

    The whole thing is a nothingburger. Costs for two planes will probably be $4B +/-, and since the occupant of those planes is Trump and he’s being brought up to speed as part of the transition he very likely knew that in advance.

    The worst of the change in BA stock price yesterday is that Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit probably went through an additional couple of pairs of Depends because of it.

    @8 So you want to spend a long flight seated next to someone with a briefcase handcuffed to his wrist?

    @11 You’re the dumbfuck if you think I worry about daily stock fluctuations. My Boeing stock is doing just fine, thank you very much. My Starbucks stock is doing even better; it’s now worth 50 times what I paid for it.

    @13 Damn right we won’t. Being a shareholder beats hell out of being a worker. I can sleep ’til noon, don’t have to fight commuter traffic, no supervisor yelling at me, don’t even have to cash the dividend checks because I have automatic deposit. Life is good since I quit working and became an unproductive capitalist leech.

    “Michigan did not catch a single welfare recipient using illegal drugs during a one-year pilot program designed to screen and test suspected substance abusers, ”

    But block granted money that should have gone to help poor people was wasted and drug testing companies profited which in turn donated to Republican politicians..

    See how that works?

  22. 22

    @ 21

    YLB, how many drug tests were performed on the 14 people cited in the article?

    If you were to actually read the piece, YLB, you would learn that there were zero drug tests performed, and that most of the money allocated for the screening was subsequently repurposed.

    While the department likely incurred some administrative costs on top of the screenings, spokesman Bob Wheaton said most of the funding will be returned to the state coffers for other uses.

    See how that works?

    Silly girl. You really should untwist those panties.

    What are the social responsibilities of unions who defend bullshitters, I wonder?

    University fires professor who says Sandy Hook was a hoax

    Tracy is getting support from the United Faculty of Florida. Marshall Ogletree, the interim executive director, sent a written statement on behalf of the organization’s president, Jennifer Proffitt: “The United Faculty of Florida has a legal and ethical obligation to provide fair and vigorous representation in all cases involving our members, the terms and conditions of their employment, and any disciplinary action.
    …
    The United Faculty of Florida is a labor organization…

    What Republicans in WI got:

    1. GOP WI Senator wins re-election, helping the GOP retain Senate majority.
    2. #CrookedHillary’s career comes to a sudden end few expected, helped in no small part by WI’s results.
    3. Speaker of the House, who also represents a WI congressional district, returned to office.

    They won’t be whining to you, Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit. Laughing at you is much more likely.

    What Wisconsin teacher clout is like after Walker got Act 10 passed.

    That’s the Walker who won three statewide elections in a very short period of time.

    On a practical — and political — level, labor has less money to boost Democratic campaigns, and a diminished pool of foot soldiers to offer.

    Its muscle was not able to secure a Wisconsin win for Feingold, or presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

    Nor has it been enough to block Walker in three elections, or to stop the continued depletion of Democratic lawmakers in the state Senate and Assembly.

    It wasn’t me who equated an educator with serial killers. It was @ 26 Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit.

    Defending fucked-up educators can be expensive and time-consuming, it turns out:

    After Act 10’s passage, the 4,500-member Milwaukee union took a hard look at the local’s work and found that 85% of its time went toward litigating disputes and misconduct cases involving 2% of its members.

    Oh, and this is telling. Very telling:

    “We went back to actually caring about the profession as the main goal of our union,” said Schroeder, the current president. “Nobody enters teaching to become a union member. You do it to become a great teacher.”

    Apparently prior to Act 10’s passage the union’s main goal was something other than caring about the profession. Which really is not at all surprising. Although for those who claim that “it’s for the children”, it should be more than a little embarrassing.

    The above was from a Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel special report on Act 10, five years after passage:

    http://projects.jsonline.com/n.....ct-10.html

    Read it all.

  31. 31

    Read it all.

    You really expect HA DUMMOCRETINS to read and accurately process real information they disagree with from jump street?

  34. 34

    @ 31

    No, Puddy, I don’t.

    But since Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit brought it up, I figured I would flesh it out more than just a little bit, and then you and I can talk about it while everyone else does the Linus-blanket thing.

    For instance:

    Hey, Puddy, do you remember what happened to the premiums for the WEA-mandated health insurance policies after Act 10 passed? Once school districts were free to find the policy that worked best for them rather than the policy forced down their throats by WEA, remember how much the WEA premium dropped?

    That was a good thing, right? It wasn’t Obama who bent the cost curve downward. It was Scott Walker.

    Heh.

  38. 38

    85% of its time went toward litigating disputes and misconduct cases involving 2% of its members.

    Which means 98% of teachers deserve to have their pay cut from say 35k per year to 30k… Life in Walkerstan so corporations and rich folks get tax cuts.

    Oh and little low life Scott Walker can hand out corporate welfare to companies that turn around and screw WI anyway..

    Eaton Corporation, a company awarded money by Scott Walker’s Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC), has announced the upcoming layoff of 93 workers at it’s Watertown plant. The company previously faced criticism when it outsourced jobs to foreign countries shortly after receiving millions from WEDC.

    And there’s so much more….

    Fuck you very much boob…

  39. 39

    Um, dude. Wrong state. Wrong WEA.

    Goldy in mid-2014:

    Last fall I walked into the McDonald’s on Madison Street in Seattle to order myself a metaphor. The point was to demonstrate how incredibly cheap fast food is by historical standards, and how little impact a $15 an hour minimum wage would really have on fast food prices.

    http://horsesass.org/mcdonalds.....y-notices/

    What Goldy will see next time he goes Micky D’s walkabout:

    Right now kiosks and table service are available in 500 McDonald’s restaurants in Southern California, New York, and Florida. Next up are Boston, Washington D.C., Chicago, Seattle, and San Francisco. Incoming U.S. president Chris Kempczinski said choosing those cities was “very purposeful” since they are “trendsetting” markets.

    It’s only right that defeated progressive losers should hang on Our Leader’s every word. They now know how out of touch they have been and how much they need to learn about Real America. But the most important thing for defeated progressive multi-culturalists to learn is that you lost! You agenda is not our nation’s agenda, nor is it Our Leader’s agenda.
    So some of your starving filthy anchor babies may be allowed to remain within our borders. Buy it would be foolish to read more into it than that. They will have to be screened for hints of radicalism or sedition. They will have to learn to speak our English language perfectly. They will have to work very hard to repay our Great Nation for the privilege of being here. And they will have to energetically demonstrate their eagerness to fully assimilate into our proud culture and our American Way of Life.
    Probably the only practical way to achieve these ends will be to enroll these anchor people into a patriotic national service corps to assist Our Leader in his program to Make America Great Again!

    And one would have thought that, of all people, you fascists would recall that the killing millions of people requires more than just high hopes and a rope. You need a plan. Let me help you out. With the application of existing technology, the killing and disposal of the garbage of humanity which plagues you can be done efficiently and can even light the homes of the oligarchy with zero-emission power. You could call it a guilt-free final solution.

    @68,
    as history has so ably demonstrated, subordinating, destabilizing, and ultimately defeating the anti-democratic forces of socialist tyranny wont require any sort of mass liquidation.

    Very public due process followed by widely anticipated imprisonment and perhaps even one or two executions for the worst offenders will be more than enough to restore America’s traditions of Liberty and Freedom!
    You lost. And now everything will change for the better. Once badly humiliated progressive losers come to realize that Real America has rejected their FAILED system of preferences, set-asides, multi-cultural depravity, welfare dependency, and socialist corruption, then most of them will abandon their Marxist fantasies and assimilate.

    Jeff Bewkes of HBO from Hollywood Reporter, the left wrong site:  “Nah, I don’t think that’s a serious thing.  We should all worry, if anybody’s gonna change the First Amendment and remember, the Democratic Party had a campaign plank to change the First Amendment, and they were doing it in the guise of campaign finance reform.  And that was worrying me more.  Because the press tends to miss that, because they tend to lean that way, and therefore they were supporting what they were viewing I think overly charitably as something in cleaning up money in politics. When in fact what it would do is restrain multiple voices. And so I thought the threat to the First Amendment came from the Democrat side.  There’s not gonna be a serious effort on the Republican side.

    Remember fools… He runs CNN. He runs HBO. He’s a big time DUMMOCRETIN donor, big time DUMMOCRETIN fundraiser, big time DUMMOCRETIN bundler (or bungler?)! And the American public woke up to the pure DUMMOCRETIN BULLSHITTIUM fake news!

    It should be sadly noted that John Glenn passed away yesterday.

    Glenn was the last remaining living member of the Mercury 7. Very sad to think that all of America’s original astonauts are now dead.

    The guy was also a WW2 fighter ace.

    Glenn was a true, legit American hero…not a fake hero created out of BS media hype….he was the real mothfucking deal.

  103. 103

    John Glenn’s was a passing that gave me pause. When I was a kid the Mercury 7 were true American heroes, we knew all their names, and they were all more than just astronauts. I had books about them. I had models of the Redstone and Atlas rockets and Mercury capsule. Those guys were really something.

    God speed, John Glenn.
