Topic Wiki

Thread summary:

Trump walks in a room.

1. Moshe123 shoots at him because he is pure evil, 2. ilherman+hachover jump in front of the bullets because Trump is our savior. 3. aygart tackles Moshe123 because Trump is better than HRC, 4. but Baruch can't stand Trump so he tells aygart he's crazy and Trump is a madman. 5. ExGingi would like to point out that who cares what he is, all that matters is the supreme court nominations. 6. Dan and others aren't really sure how this makes them feel plus they don't really want to drink poison. 7. Spoiler alert: Moshe123's gun was empty, it was just a blank.

And Freddie is in the back of the room just cooking his cholent. Until he announces that there are TWO menu choices, Pareve Cholent or Vegetable Lasagna. While etech0 figured out that they are both poisoned.


Repeat x100.

And then Hilary walks into the room with the most confidence a candidate has had in recent history. She is so confident that she eats both the Pareve Cholent and Vegetable Lasagna. Everyone is the room is aghast, they don't know how this happened, could it be Comey is behind this poisoning or was it that her Obamacare premiums were to high to get her the help she needed.

Everyone stared as she choked and was cast into oblivion on November, 8, 2016 the last day she was heard from in the public eye.

Moshe123, ilherman, hachover, Baruch, ExGingi, Dan, Freddie, etech0, and the rest of America are in total shock and hope that so long as Trump doesn't eat any Pareve Cholent and Vegetable Lasagna and stays true to his supreme court nominees this may be the greatest thing to happen since the CSR and GC's.

But remember this may be the beginning of the end...

P.S. Thanks to cognitive dissonance aygart, Michael Moore, and Scott Adams knew the whole time that Trump could win, unfortunately for JTZ he may be off DDF for the next 4 years due to his mandatory 3 times daily consumption of CROW!

As things turns out, the most prescient view on this election was that of Michael Moore! Though Scott Adams is also claiming a high view level of prescience.

The only people who don't have CD are guys like that aspy in the striped sweater who pushed the white guy with the keffiyeh down the stairs.

I'm sure he does, but probably less because he had such a keen awareness of it.
That's why cardiologists don't get heart attacks

Kol hanega’im adam roeh chutz m’nigei atzmo. As is known, there are two pirushim in this (in addition to the literal meaning which means that a kohein is not allowed to self-diagnose his own tzaraas.)

1. A person sees others' faults but not his own.
2. The faults that one sees in others are actually is own.

And it is obvious to see how these two pirushim are interconnected.

Yes. He reveals their lack of character by getting them to sit at the table with him. Then he hires them and he's already got their number. Full control. It's ingenious actually.

You're giving him too much credit:

I've contimplated that. And still go back and forth. Bottom line is he hasn't yet proven to me that he is such a brilliant strategist. Time will tell, but until then I wont project a positve cunning spin on things that to the naked eye are just same old politics.

The true story is that you hate Trump and you'll never give credit where it's due.
Other than that, if there was more to the story you would see the NYT and others trying to squirm out of this story more than they have.
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/18/us/politics/donald-trump-takes-credit-for-helping-to-save-a-ford-plant-that-wasnt-closing.html

Facts after the NYT spin: Trump stopped Ford from moving production of the MKZ to Mexico, which means that both the MKZ and the Ford Escape will be produced in the US, instead of just the Escape.

No it means that it looks like he did enough that he will be credited for it.

No jobs would have been lost or gained with them moving MKZ to Mexico. They were moving MKZ production to expand the production of the Escape. What Ford did is throw Trump and his supporters a bone and they fell for it. The big picture is the 1.6 billion plant they are building in Mexico. They are still going through with that. Have him stop that and he hit it out of the park. Until then this move accomplished nothing.

False

They were moving MKZ production to expand the production of the Escape.

And now that Ford didn't move production, they will still need to produce the Escape somehow.
Either by boosting production from their existing plants or by building another factory = Home Run for Trump

If you think Ford cares about Trump or his supporters I have a bridge to sell you.

You have no idea about the financial facts involved here. You only know what you read in the papers. No point in me continuing this discussion with you any further.

The big picture is that America has been bleeding jobs for many years and the 1.6b plant is part of that history.
Trump promised that he will bring manufacturing back and the first step is to stop the companies that are leaving.
If he somehow stops the 1.6b plant that would be a grand slam but if it happens I'm sure you'd find a way to make it sound like nothing.
