Trump Consciousness

Because the Tennessee Valley Authority announced outsourcing 200 US jobs to foreign workers, the CEO, the Chairman of the board, and another board member were themselves fired by Trump. Trump then reduced the salary of the next TVA CEO from $8 million to $500,000.

Best President Ever.

They hate Trump not just because he is honest and spoiling the opportunities for stealing tax payer money, they hate Trump because he is exposing the corruption of many people in Washington, including many past presidents of both parties.

Trump Fires Board Members of Gov-Owned Tennessee Valley Authority Over Outsourcing of US Jobs​
President Donald Trump announced on Aug. 3 that he had fired two members of the the federally-owned Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), saying that its chief executive Jeff Lyash is “ridiculously overpaid” and that the corporation is seeking to outsource American jobs to foreign workers.​
Trump said Monday that he was formally removing TVA’s chair of the board and another board member, and warned that if the corporation continues to hire foreign labor, he would fire other members of the board too.​
...​
The White House said in a release that the “Hiring American” order follows a recent announcement by TVA that it plans to outsource 20 percent of its tech jobs to foreign countries. The statement said TVA’s action could lead over 200 highly-skilled American technology workers in Tennessee to lose their jobs to low-cost foreign workers hired on temporary work visas.​
...​
“TVA’s decision is also expected to cost the local economy tens of millions of dollars over the next 5 years,” the statement said, adding that Trump’s action would “combat employers’ misuse of H-1B visas, which were never intended to replace qualified American workers with low-cost foreign labor.”​
TVA’s CEO, Trump claimed, had betrayed American workers. He said the TVA board must hire a new chief executive officer that “puts the interests of Americans first.”​
The president said the chief executive officer earns $8 million a year.​
“He gets $8 million a year so that was just a succession of deep swamp things happening and it’s a disgrace … the new CEO must be paid no more than $500,000 a year,” Trump said. “We want the TVA to take action on this immediately.”​

MSNBC producer quits, says job 'forces skilled journalists to make bad decisions'
Producer becomes third major news industry figure to depart in a month over toxic media culture, following Bari Weiss and Andrew Sullivan.​
...​
"July 24th was my last day at MSNBC. I don’t know what I’m going to do next exactly but I simply couldn’t stay there anymore," Pekary wrote. "My colleagues are very smart people with good intentions. The problem is the job itself. It forces skilled journalists to make bad decisions on a daily basis.​
You may not watch MSNBC but just know that this problem still affects you, too. All the commercial networks function the same – and no doubt that content seeps into your social media feed, one way or the other," she added.​
Pekary decried a culture in network news obsessed with ratings at the expense of quality, balanced news.
"The longer I was at MSNBC, the more I saw such choices — it’s practically baked in to the editorial process – and those decisions affect news content every day," she wrote. "Likewise, it’s taboo to discuss how the ratings scheme distorts content, or it’s simply taken for granted, because everyone in the commercial broadcast news industry is doing the exact same thing."
Pekary said that "behind closed doors, industry leaders will admit the damage that’s being done" and quoted a colleague who declared "We are a cancer and there is no cure.”
"As it is, this cancer stokes national division, even in the middle of a civil rights crisis. The model blocks diversity of thought and content because the networks have incentive to amplify fringe voices and events, at the expense of others… all because it pumps up the ratings," she added.​

The clips out of context are just silly.
Please. Kettle meet pot.

If you're going to play that card you should be challenging 90% of Jim's posts in this entire thread. Its a propaganda festival with one or two posts of actually depth tossed in from time to time. lol
 
I threw in those links for a little fun. I’ll say this, though: Trump is clearly not one of history’s great leaders and anyone who thinks otherwise is doing a lot of mental gymnastics to maintain their distorted view of him. Not liking team blue does not absolve Trump of his sins. Anyone who doesn’t recognize that we’re in bad shape right now (and Trump has directly contributed to that) is kidding themselves. There’s no point talking about this with Trump fanboys/girls because they’re willfully refusing to acknowledge the facts. Does Biden suck? Does he appear to be profoundly incapable of leading the country through this crisis? Sure! Same with Trump. I can acknowledge the miserable circumstances and options we’re confronted with. Other people need to develop that capacity too, if we’re ever going to come up with effective responses to this disaster we’re living through.

We've tried this before in this thread Philemon, and you're wise to acknowledge the futility of it. Jim/K9 and others are "all in" beyond any form of rationality. Its a fascinating psychological study.
 
Those of you who will not vote for Trump in the autumn, should at least think about all the 'lovely' wars you may be re-igniting by doing so.

The Dems don't call it that, they say that the US will be open for business again!

Remember all those horrible wars and ask yourself a few obvious questions:

Korea

Vietnam

Former Yugoslavia

Iraq

Iraq

Afghanistan

Syria

Libya

Somalia

The Ukraine - the US helped to kick off the 'protests' that got rid of the duly elected president and split the country in two. They have also put a lot of weapons into that country. Russia got involved - I'll bet the politicians got a real thrill out of that.

Which of those wars have benefited the US? Which of them has benefited anyone except those with shares in arms manufacture or strutting politicians?

Are you really sure you want to let the Neocons persuade a weak president to let them kick off some more killing and destruction?

If you have kids, will you be encouraging them to go into the military and do their bit for US gory (sorry I meant glory)?

Will you feel any guilt when the body bags start come back and the not quite dead have to spend the rest of their lives in a wheelchair?

I know David. I just don't understand why some people are too stupid to see. They won't feel bad because they will just turn the channel. Until it comes home to roost. I think we're at war now, nobody told us. It's becoming clearer by the day. It's a new type of war.
