    The Michigan state house and senate are both Republican controlled. Who do you think approves the budget for new voting machines?

    Michigan's aging voting machines a 'catastrophe waiting to happen'

    They knew about this in advance.

    Oh, and I suppose they collude to only put the good machines outside of the city. Seriously, wtf does that have to do with voter suppression? Tin foil hat much, or do you have actual evidence you can link to?

    Blackmail with what leverage? No jobs?

  7. "China, will say, "Give us our money for all the bonds we've been buying from you." That then sends us into an economic depression as we have to come up with ways to pay those bondholders or do what Trump thinks is good business sense and throw up our hands and default. "

    Which causes China's economy to tank. They simply will not do that when they rely on the US so heavily. They can't afford to.

  8. So, with most of the money flowing out of the US, who has the most leverage if that flow is cut back?

  9. You realize they're still in business. I can see their building from my office window.

    "I think there's a term for that, and it might rhyme with "voter suppression"."

    By who? The city has been Democrat controlled since I lived there in the 60s. Did the Republicans come in and take over the election?

    Um, no I didn't make an assumption. I responded directly to what you wrote. And it appears that we are actually in total agreement with the exception of your stereotype commentary about what the GOP wants. Since when did the left support stereotypes?

    Right, and have you seen anyone preventing those potential customers from creating their own bakeries, or going to one that's willing to do the job. The bakery isn't trying to force anyone into supporting their beliefs, so why are you trying to force them to support yours.

    As for Twitter, I personally support their right to boot anyone they damn well please...just like the bakery should have been allowed. Either way, we shouldn't have a double standard.

    So, here's the problem. Free speech means free speech as long as it's not assault, inciting a riot, etc. But, "hate speech" is still free speech, and should be treated as such...Westburo Baptist Church and KKK included (as much as I despise those pricks). We don't live under European style speech rules...that seems to be what many of the politically correct types keep getting wrong. There's also no constitutional right to not be offended, and there is one allowing someone to offend you. If you can't handle that, you may need to go find a safe space.

    And no, I didn't vote for Trump.

    Then how do you feel about the bakery that refused to serve the gay couple? Is that somehow different? Private corporations don't get to do whatever they please.

    Your post is irrelevant. Obama tried hard to make friends with Putin because he believe we could all just sing Kumbya, and chided Romney for pointing out the obvious, that Russia was the biggest threat. Trump has yet to do a thing with Russia, and the left is all over his ass. Congnitive dissonance is strong with you and yours.

    And just for the record, I didn't vote for him.

    Interesting that the AP is reporting:

    The White House is praising President-elect Donald Trump's deal with Carrier Corp. to keep nearly 1,000 jobs in the United States, but is trying to play down the significance of the agreement.

    White House spokesman Josh Earnest says Trump "deserves credit" for brokering the deal, which the air conditioning company says will keep the jobs in Indiana instead of moving them to Mexico.
