Amazon shares started at 981USD today and were at 978USD p.m. So whats your point and why do you think that todays stock price performance, which was within the normal Amazon shares volatility range, is an indicator for "trump is a very powerful man"? I tell ya. Because trumpists always see what isnt there and dont see what is there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlitterRose Posted August 16, 2017 #80 Share Posted August 16, 2017 There may very well have been people who just wanted to protest taking down the monument because of some historical significance. That said, when the first guy with a nazi flag showed up...any decent person would go...oh ****...I'm not with them...and leave. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExpandMyMind Posted August 17, 2017 Author #83 Share Posted August 17, 2017 You know your President is screwed when Steve Bannon is looking more moderate than him. Trump adviser Steve Bannon dubs white nationalists 'clowns' http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-40958329 (Though it must be said, it's laughable that Bannon would have any of us believe these are his real views. I mean that literally. I laughed). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes sense to boycott Amazon - to protect local community businesses, prevent an unhealthy monopoly and to hit the owner Jeff Bezos where it hurts for his part in the vicious and deceitful anti Trump psychological operation - (especially as he also owns the Washington Post one of the biggest Mind Control Media outlets - ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kartikg Posted August 17, 2017 #86 Share Posted August 17, 2017 So highly educated highly paid CEOs quit economic forum because some people protested and trump instead of putting all of them in jail asked for everyone to calm down and behave. How is this relevant to economy or businesses ? Actually maybe it's good riddance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zamor Posted August 17, 2017 #89 Share Posted August 17, 2017 /fake news on*** Headline: Trump eats Babies for breakfast When asked about this Trump said that he could not see anything wrong with killing and eating Babies for breakfast. "Abortionists kill hundreds, maybe thousands of Babies each day so they are even worse than me, but do you put them in jail?!" was his reply. /fake news of**** Bet there are some die hard Trump suporters who would agree with him and think he had done nothing wrong!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen news but didn't see anywhere Here's where it comes down to how you interpret things. Trump did condemn racism in his statements so I dont want to misrepresent that The trouble comes in that Trump said in his Tuesday presser that there were "very fine people" protesting the monument coming down. My position, and I believe the position of the majority is that if you are marching with nazis, if you are arm in arm with the KKK you simply are not a very fine person.

Kind of mind numbing. Throw the nazi book in with losing the racial discrimination lawsuits and him actually being quoted in a 1991 book saying he doesnt want black people handling his money ( I know i know its a liberal media time traveling conspiracy) and the picture of a racist really has become complete after the events of the last week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im however not conceding that the "very fine people" comment was taken out of context. He flat out said there were very fine people with the racists. Thats not out of context and thats unacceptable. . As discussed just a few posts above this one Trump has a long history of racist/near racist behavior , that statement didnt happen in a vacuum. At a time when he should have been uniting the nation he slipped into whataboutism for political expediency showing his true heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
