Congress recognized Jerusalem as the capitol since 1995, just gave the president power to defer moving the embassy.
A law that was passed but never implemented because Clinton, Bush and Obama asserted that Congress infringed on the president's ability to conduct foreign policy. If Trump has any brains, he will continue that policy until the status of Jerusalem is resolved in the Middle East.
In California we have people suing a fast food place because they ate to much.
Have you seen the calorie counts on some of these plates for a single meal? I get accused of "skinny shamming" my friends if I eat one-third of a 1,500-calorie plate in the restaurant and take home the rest for two separate meals.
Remember, most of their profits are routed overseas.
Most of their US profits are routed through a Nevada corporation to avoid paying state corporate taxes. Apple is proud to let the world know that they design stuff in Cupertino, CA, but they don't pay corporate taxes in CA.
He said he's going to move the capital of Israel to Jerusalem.
Trump is pushing to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. A position that previous presidents have avoided since the founding of modern Israel. Most countries have their embassies in Tel Aviv.
How would he do that? Does he have the authority?
Executive order. But I'm sure Congress will want to put in their pound of flesh for the congressional record.
Would he just declare it to be so and the rest of the world would go along?
The EC is absolutely not under any circumstances going to flip any votes in Clinton's favor much less the *dozens* she'd need.
Just because the electoral college has been a rubber stamp for several centuries doesn't preclude the possibility that the electors might take action in this particular election.
Get over it. Move on. The election is over. Trump is your next President. Deal with it. Go find a safe space with other delicate snowflakes and puppies and crayons and play dough if you need to but stop with the truly insane thoughts that somehow Trump didn't win and won't take office in January.
Clinton was business as usual and I could easily plan out the next eight years. Trump is "Oh, shit! There's goes the planet!" (Spaceballs) and the next four years will be very unpredictable.
You're only hurting yourself.
I'm just eating popcorn while watching a slow moving train wreck. I haven't had this much fun since the Reagan Administration imploded.
Now I'm actually interested in observing the electoral ballot casting!
For most presidential elections, the electoral college is a mere formality and a few electors changing their vote doesn't matter. Since we had an election with two equally unlikeable candidates, the potential for someone to throw a monkey wrench into the electoral college is quite high.
If they flipped to Pence it would be the end for America in every sense.
You're assuming that the House Republicans will actually negotiate with each other to agree on a common agenda. They haven't in the last six years. I doubt they will in the next four years.
I'm waiting for the electoral college to flip to Clinton. Of course, as pointed out in a recent article, Congress could always flip it back to Trump (or Pence if Trump keeps walking back his promises).
Why not convert them all to ASCII text, no images, no colors, and only allow download from a 2400 or less baud modem for that really authentic 1990 feel?
I'm converting my WordPress websites to static websites, removing PHP and database from the backend. The Russian and Southeast Asian hackers can kiss my shiny text files.
39, that's almost the percentage of the decline in Clinton Foundation donations.
That's because Hillary left the foundation to run for president. Not because she lost the election as the right-wing echo chamber is proclaiming in recent days.
So you're a glorified batch shell monkey. Which means you don't write code.
I write PowerShell scripts at work. I write Python scripts, C extensions for Python, and hand code HTML at home.
98% uptime isn't exactly "saving the universe" level of support, friend - that's over 1 week of allowed downtime in the course of a year.
The 98% SLA means that I complete 98 out of 100 tickets ON TIME. The other two tickets go out of SLA because another department is sitting on their collective thumbs.
Must be nice having a cushy job as a laptop jockey.
I do work in government IT with a $3,000 Dell laptop. Of course, I'm paid 50% less than my Silicon Valley peers for being a public servant.
The issue was the WP giving the DNC a draft of what they had written about something, and giving the DNC person a carte blanche to edit it any way s/he chose.
If you read the actual email, the DNC didn't edit anything. It was a courtesy call that someone's name will be appearing in print, especially since the line in question looks like an accusation. One aspect of the story wasn't mentioned because another source didn't call back to confirm or deny. That's fairly routine journalistic practice.
My view has always been that the good grades were a reward in and of themselves and didn't need to be celebrated.
That didn't became obvious until I went back to college for a second time to learn computer programming while working 60 hours per week. I made the college president's list for maintaining a 4.0GPA in my major upon graduation.
And yet it was the Washington Post that was caught with their pants down by wikileaks when they released DNC written stories as news.
It isn't unusual for news organizations to present or rewrite PR notices as news articles. Lazy journalism is less work for them and a win for the PR company.
You're part of the problem.
Uh, no. I have the ability to distinguish reality from fantasy. People who accept whatever they want to hear as facts are the problem.
I need to test that out. I've never gotten Fedora to run on my 2006 Black MacBook. Mint Linux is the only one I ever got installed since the installer recognizes existing Mac partitions.
To most liberals all conservative news sites are fake news.
As a moderate conservative, the entire right-wing echo chamber is fake. Most of my lily-white, tea-party loving relatives aren't speaking to me since I can easily pop their reality balloons.
The participation awards and the focus on self-esteem have done their part, certainly.
I was the special little snowflake in the fifth grade who didn't received a participation award on Awards Day. I was truant too many days to get that one or any of the other made up awards that day.

Dipshits abound on slashdot and being modded up.
What does that have to do with me?

Nope.
With some tax cuts, incentives and deregulation the cost could realistically stay the same.
More corporate welfare. I didn't think Apple was so poor. I guess it is in the Trump economy.

Uh, no. The electoral college voting should take less than a day. I'm fine either way.

I was worried that I wouldn't be able to play minesweeper on the new ARM processors.
Social media has replaced email for instant simulation at work. No wonder my coworkers are always looking at their cellphones.
