Laid-Off Disney IT Workers Decry Offshoring At Trump Rally (computerworld.com)
dcblogs writes: Two former Disney IT workers spoke at a Donald Trump campaign rally on Sunday, telling about the shock of having to train their foreign replacements. Speaking at the large rally in Madison, Ala. was Dena Moore, a former Disney IT worker who trained her foreign replacement, and said tech workers are reluctant to talk about the problem. IT workers "are afraid, they're in shock," she told the cheering crowd. "They're not coming forward because we have been taught all our lives to make do and keep going on. But you know what? This little old grandma is going to stand up for what's right. "The fact is that Americans are losing their jobs to foreigners," said Moore. "I believe Mr. Trump is for Americans first."

She's not especially truthful. She's not especially trusted. There's only one honest choice in this election. Feel the bern!
He started with 200K when he graduated from college. Through work he amassed a multi-billion dollar fortune. What did you do besides posting on slashdot? US needs a president that does not come from entrenched political establishment, if just to see what it would be like. After 2 terms of Bush and 2 terms of Obama, I am convinced that no one president can hurt the country.
I believe they will, they are just waiting for when it is in the home stretch of the presidential elections with Hillary as the Democratic runner. Spring that sucker and *poof* there goes the 10% lead she had with Trump. Even if the charges don't stick and she is eventual found in the clear. Add to that her finally cracking with her tied in the polls and the legal battle... she'll say something nasty and presto... the deal will be sealed with Trump for President. She doesn't need to be found guilty... just enough FUD to confirm in most people's mind that she's not to be trusted.
Obama and his supporting army of social justice warriors have spent 7 years calling anybody who disagreed with the man's POLICIES or his unconstitutional power grabs (he's been swatted-down UNANIMOUSLY for violating the Constitution by the Supreme Court over 20 times) as "racists", "bigots", "homophobes", "greedy", "selfish" and a whole raft of expletives.
Obama's IRS went after his political enemies (Democrats filed impeachment papers on Nixon when they heard him TALK about doing this, even though HE never stooped so low as to actually do it). He has repeatedly violated laws he knew would outrage the base of the Republican party but that the gutless Mitch McConnell would never seek to enforce (like his illegal releases of Gitmo prisoners, which violate the plain-text of a law he himself signed that require congressional notices in advance of such releases). He has repeatedly floated/leaked things just to agitate his opponents, like the military practice for domestic operations (Constitutionally prohibited) with leaked maps for those exercises that designated areas well-known to be populated by Republicans as "terrorist zones" (completely in-your-face insulting), repeated leaks that he planned to give Gitmo back to Cuba (reminds Republicans of the previously worst President, Carter, giving away the Panama Canal), etc. He has gone after the gun rights of Americans at every opportunity, while providing Iran with a path to nukes in exchange for nothing - and then blasted anybody opposed as aligned with Iranian Mullahs. He has opened the nation's borders to a tidal wave of immigrants with no concern for national security, or public health and labelled anybody opposed as a bigot. This president has taken great pleasure in posing for official photos in which he is flipping-off the Republicans, as his aids snicker that its always "a mistake" or "inadvertent". The man's a full-on passive-aggressive narccisstic maniac who never skips the chance to be in-your-face offensive.
A very large component of Obama's actions seem designed to poke the base of the Republican party. The man could have done half of what he's done with little blowback and anger if he had chosen to compromise on various details, but he cut that off on day one when wishy-washy Republican Senators tried to negotiate with him in his first month in office and he said "I won, You lost". He knee-capped snivelling weaseles like Senator Lindsay Grahm who were eager to surrender to him on most of his agenda. He assured his friends in the senate that his refusal to negotiate with the GOP on anything would "Break the back of the Republican party" (Google it).
The modern political hate-fest goes back to the nomination of Robert Bork for the Supreme Court, which in which Democrats first made Supreme Court nominations, which had always been mere formalities, into toxic political political fights complete with outside groups running ads to assassinate the character of the nominee. Then, led by then-senator Joe Biden, the Democrats put the tactic on steroids for the nomination of Clarence Thomas. The Republicans NEVER did this to a Democrat nominee, not even to Obama's two ACLU member lawyers who are now on the Supreme Court. The base of the Republican party has never forgotten the Bork nomination or the Thomas nomination (their symbol is an elephant, after all) and now the era of Obama and his SJW supporters have pushed it all over the cliff... the Republican base no longer has a tolerance for its leaders "getting along with" Democrats while Democrats wage war against them. The Republican establishment will have no peace until it severely punishes the IRS for going after the TEA Party and actually secures the nation's southern border, undoing Obama's rampant illegality. There is now RAGE in the base of the GOP.
