So? Why would Ford do something so stupid?

It’s nice to see that you guys have lined up your next generation of bogeymen.

to control the cost of their steel, pretty simple.

That is the idea of the tariffs to encourage steel production here.

how progressive of you. Do you embrace the new culture of gender fluidity, feminism and equality?

bootz · 2018-09-30T20:03:41.156Z

I find gender fluidity to be in conflict with all that is natural. in other words it is a human creation of nefarious purpose. I do not embrace or oppose it, it simply is.

I do find it comical that so many groups do not want to identify as individuals and instead accept social programming.

Trump just said he fell in love with Kim Jung un - a man who recently had an american trotured and killed.

And conservative media says nothing about it.

You think he’s being treated the same as carter and obama?

Trump only loves the best and the brightest.

Oh, I understand what you’re thinking. But steel doesn’t scale small very well. Costs would be way too high. Plus you’re asking Ford to suddenly become experts in steel manufacture. It isn’t easy.

NuffSaid:

When Trump and the secret service go to Trumps golf resort, the taxpayers money is spent where? Trumps resort. Who owns it? Trump. Who makes money off of him vacationing at his resort at the taxpayers expense?

Donald J Trump

They know it and would be wiggin out if some rich Democrat were doing it. They have to be selectively silent about things with this con man in office.

Well, unless you think that creating a scandal out of Carter’s peanut farm but turning a blind eye to Trump’s “global business empire” is being treated the same, you’re exactly right. There’s no difference between the way the two were treated. Then again Carter felt great shame and admitted committing “adultery of the heart” for looking at another woman besides his wife covetously. Whereas Trump openly brags of affairs while his wives recover from childbirth. I mean, there’s no way to judge the relative morality of these two men. None. Only the legal standard. There was one criminal indictment under Carter, so that is devastating. Trump has managed to keep his to a tame few dozen.

Carter taught Sunday School forever. He’s the same as the con man adulterer.

I cannot find a single difference between the two men. Literally the same.

I know when they shut Carter U down that was a disqualifier for Jimmy.

Well, as a Georgian, I have to say that Carter is at least from a good state.

Speaking of Georgia, I can’t believe Abrams has a real shot to take that Governor’s seat.

I wouldn’t have either 6 months ago. But, the Republicans picked a horrible candidate. It could cost them.
