put bluntly:
Yet I hope companies and people do not go silent.
Trump maybe (not confirmed yet) have sold his stocks in Boeing in May/June. His own strategy of buying stocks that have tanked then turn around and make a profit may yet come into play. Or he could have just been irked by the Boeing CEO's remarks and fired off immediately on twitter. As he does. As president-elect. That is routine now.
..but you should. What Thunder said - ...in a nutshell and worse. At some point, you will see it.
The "fake news" we were pointing out are different from biased regular media reports. There is a definite difference. We could argue endlessly on that; I would prefer not to.
You are a good person and therefore, won't be able to believe a tenth of what is really happening and has been for centuries. With every fact ridiculed as "conspiracy theorie" those repsonsible are rotfl seeing this innocenceand unwillingness to see things clearly and slap each others shoulders.
Life is good. We can go on destroying their bodies and minds, so we can sell them expensive medicine for illnesses we created in the first place, so we can continue to control their minds with every stupidity, we can think of and making money with it on plus. Pokempn? No problem. they are willing little idiots follwing our every lead. Everytning and every lie necessary to keep them from thinking FOR THEMSELVES. People coming up with life saving medicine for cheap money. Kill them. People opening their mouth too much with unwelcome truth . kill them or have them locked up. Politicians going against OUR system, not buying into the kartells - kill them.
Its easy, as people still let us sing them to sleep.
But they are waking up these days - more and more, Are we ready to let it collapse? i don't know yet. Maybe. I hope. We will find out.
Any news source should be looked at, dig to find their sources, look to see if debunked elsewhere, etc. Use logic and discernment. It is not easy these days, but we can make an effort to stay informed with as many facts as possible. We don't have to take any report, from any source, at its face value. It is important for us all to try. Giving up our own research is really going to play well only for the politicians.
GL, you said, "With every fact ridiculed as "conspiracy theorie" those repsonsible are rotfl seeing this innocenceand unwillingness to see things clearly and slap each others shoulders."
No, that is not happening here on this thread (every fact ridiculed?) and I think that is too broad a statement in general for elsewhere, too.
Our country, and many people around the world (obviously), are very divided. At the present time, it seems to be that Trump wants us divided, not united. That is what authoritarians do and he is so far following that blue print. I can accept that you and I look at things differently, but without rancor, and with us still liking and respecting each other. However, the divisiveness in politics now is building hatred, and hatred breeds violence. It is extremely unhealthy. That is why I feel it is very important that people do their own research for news, and also share news they feel is worthwhile sharing.
Hey, some don't even believe, what they can SEE! Scroll down till vid.

I am neither a conspiracy nut nor do I deny that many conspiracies did & do exist. Some amazing s**t has happened only to be realized decades or more later for what it was. Still, to run with every theory is as bad as denying them all IMHO.
Just sayin'.
More deregulation from Trump will be bringing interesting factors into play. Dismantling, deregulating. Some probably not a bad thing, but each needs to be looked at individually.
Yes.
And here is a fairly succinct layout of how Trump plays with the media:
Ehhhh, it's the end of the year darling :-). And Time's 'Person Of The Year' is always something I'm looking forward to :-). Do you actually read Time Magazine @GermanLady? I traceeee a tiny bit of 'Ooowh, you want to post something negative again about Trump!' in your words ;-). Well, that's not the case.
2015: 'Chancellor Angela Merkel':
2014: 'The Ebola Fighters':
2013: 'Pope Francis':
2012: 'President Barack Obama' (2nd time):
2011: 'The Protester':
2010: 'Mark Zuckerberg':
2009: 'President Barack Obama':
1927 - 2009: A collage of all previous 'Person's of the Year':
It all sounds lovely, really lovely. Yes, "Americans are unified" when they don't give up and when they realize that there's nothing they cannot do. Frankly, it is a lovely quote from Mr Trump. It's a unifying message. So true! And I agree with him. But only, and sadly, if you leave out the necessary context.
Because Mr Trump makes it sound as if this year's campaign wasn't the most polarizing, xenophobic, wasn't the nastiest and dirtiest campaign in the history of American politics. He makes it sound as if his message at times wasn't bordering certain neo-fascist traits. And he makes it sound as if 2016 was in fact as positive and hopeful as Obama's campaign in 2008. Obviously, that's not the case. And you know it. He himself was one of the co-facilitators of all this hate, division, anger, and resentment with his arsenal of demagogue vocabulary. Yes, he's not the only causer of all this. Off course not. But he certainly facilitated it, to such an extend that he could actually win the whole thing with it.
In such an atmosphere dear @BondJames, you have to do better if you ask me. Much better. You can not just copy-paste a message that could have been from previous president-elects. You can not just act as if not much has happened and ask all the people to "come together".
Mr Trump is already one of the most historically relevant president-elects since Roosevelt. True, but not in a good way. If he wants to be president of a true 'United' States of America, he better plans to write a rousing, empathic inauguration speech in which he self-reflects on his acts, in which he truly shows what Christian and Humanist values are, in which he empathizes with the losing side more than previous presidents, and in which he apoligizes to the people in a sincere and heartfelt way, before asking the people to "join him on this great, great adventurous world" he's talking about.
Hence why I think the subtitle of the Time 'Person Of The Year' portrait -"President of the 'Divided' States Of America"- is entirely fitting. It's up to him to make sure the tone and style of his campaign won't be reflected in his first term (which I already think is wishful thinking). At least not too much. Otherwise the word 'unification' means nothing to him; then it will merely sound and look like a fraud.
It is not av "lovely message" at all, it is out right disrespectful and outrageous! How can you possibly ask groups of people you have spent your entire presidential campaign alianating and villifying to come around and support you inn unity? It is offensive, that's what it is!
It is absurd how people on this thread can speak so highly of democracy and yet support someone who basically lied himself into office, as well as supposedly idealizing respect for contrasting opinions and beliefs meanwhile supporting the person who has been the very definition of the opposite. Please cut the crap, will you?
At this point, we can hope that our other govt officials, because of their own ethics (make of that what you will) and the voices of so many American citizens (the only real hope we have is ourselves) putting pressure on all govt officials and organizations, can keep the damage of the presidency under Trump to a minimum. It is sad, but a rather stark reality. I'd be happy for Trump to morph into something positive overall for our country, but so far the vast majority of his actions, words, proposals show he will not change. Not in a positive, helpful way. His words and actions cannot be blown off, dismissed. He is responsible. Look at his entire campaign, what he himself has said and done. Look at how he has acted since Nov. 8th. He is not a positive force for our country. He is definitely out for himself before anything else.
So yes, we shall see how this all unfolds, but I hope people continue to not accept things that are abhorrent, not go along with everything, not give in or give up - and do speak up to representatives in their state as well as federal govts.
I am obviously not targetting you... There are many more members here, remember...

A snip: "What about Donald Trump’s promise to bring back US manufacturing jobs? He made a deal to keep nearly 1,000 jobs at the Carrier gas-furnace factory by offering a big tax break.
We shouldn’t try and protect jobs; we should protect workers. It’s really a fool’s errand to struggle with because after a year or two those jobs will still go. Either they will be replaced by robots or they’ll move to Mexico or China. If Carrier becomes inefficient from being forced to stay in the US, its business will go to competitors in Japan or Germany."

"State courts that have considered the matter have held that elector pledges can impose, in the words of the Supreme Court of Ohio in 1948, only “a moral obligation, not a legal one.” As that court concluded, when a state attempts to “dictate to the electors the choice which they must make for president and vice president, it has invaded the field set apart to the electors by the Constitution of the United States, and such action cannot stand.”
Interesting....
