    GM is shutting US plants and slashing staff 15%

    Stupid green movement. /s
    They are cancelling the volt, supposedly to concentrate on an all-electric car.
    Car companies dealing with the realities that their market is changing big yet again. And interestingly enough it’s away from sedans and to trucks and SUVs AND to electric and self driving cars.

    From the article...GM may be cutting its capital expenditure by $4.5 billion, she said, but it will still invest in its core products such as pickups, SUVs and “some cars” where it has already redesigned the architecture for those products.

    My fault, misread.  Around where I live at least 1/2 the vehicles that are on the road are trucks and SUV's.

    No worries. I was just confused at what you were trying to point out to me ;)

    Former U.S. Border Patrol deputy chief Ron Colburn early Monday defended the use of pepper spray to deter migrants attempting to enter the U.S. at the Mexican border, saying it is "natural" and "you could actually put it on your nachos and eat it."

    Seriously, if you're still defending this piece of GARBAGE, there's really something wrong with you.

    Remember when Russia was the enemy 
    Immigrants of all colors, faiths, and nationalities were welcome.
    And the president was a respected  American who behaved like an adult, mature, and presidential.

    Trump has now created a tweet alluding to State News.  Another test that he's going to pass.  Authoritarianism, here we come.

    Can you quote the tweet please? I don't really get what you mean without that... he's going to pass what test?
    But yeah, he TOTALLY wants state-run news media, all the way. He's already halfway there, and hardly anyone even seems to care.

    "While CNN doesn't do great in the US based on ratings, outside of the US they have very little competition. Throughout the world, CNN has a powerful voice portraying the US in an unfair and false way. Something has to be done, including the possibility of the US starting our own Worldwide Network to show the World teh way we really are, GREAT!"

    So -- basically, he'll ask RT to cut  him a nice deal to air "our" "real" news abroad? Something like that, I bet. He won't do it unless there's something in it for him -- too damn lazy and narcissistic to do otherwise,
    All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.

    Pence suggested that there be a state run media when he was Gov of Indiana....that didn't go over well.

    Thank you, and :tired_face: WTF?? Wow. I mean, the really scary part is that I have absolutely no idea if he's just too fucking stupid and ignorant and senile to understand what that ACTUALLY says, or if this is a serious, deliberate suggestion.

    This.

    There are a handful of people here who post just for the sake of posting, and for stirring the pot. 

    I feel like this is a big percentage of our (USA) goddamn idiot population.

    Quit stirring the pot.  Nobody thinks that you are smarter because you can present a different viewpoint.  Quite the opposite -- you make problems worse. 
    Yeah! Having a differing opinion is wrong! Kill them all, dictator style

    Except if they are buying pizza from you. Then don't kill them. Pretend you respect them... take their money... wait until they leave your establishment... and then go back to typing how much you truly think of them!

    The new Congress gets sworn in in January so he's gonna go wild for the next month and a bit and then there will be people who have the balls to actually call him and his administration on some of this insanity. 

    Evidently the Republicans have all been castrated, including the women. And they have allowed Trump to move America towards a dictatorship and he knows exactly what he is doing. He is an idiot in a lot of ways but he  knows how to disregard all norms and grab power and create havoc.
