WOTD from The Atlantic: "15 Criminal-Law Questions Surrounding the President".
Massive tax cuts working as intended.
Harley Davidson undertakes massive $700 million stock buyback (10% of its market cap). Check.
Harley Davidson lays off 800 workers in plant closing in Missouri. Check.
And middle-class taxpayers are left with Chump Change. Check.
You mean, "T***p change"?😲
Trumped up trickle down.
The HD move also shutters a unionized facility due to "lagging US sales". At the same time, HD beefs up a plant in Bangkok, Thailand, a location unlikely to be impacted by any Trump tariffs. And there will be "450 full-time, casual and contractor positions will be added at the Springettsbury Township facility in York County [PA], yielding a loss of 350 jobs overall." A couple of the articles I've seen say the "casual" and "contractor" positions will allow HD to respond to demand shifts more easily than the unionized employees in Kansas City would have.
Harley Davidson likes to Trump itself as the "All-American" brand. But it's really the ~70% American brand that sells most of its new bikes overseas and is now marketing smaller, more efficient bikes as opposed to the giant, noisy "hogs".
This hasn't deterred bikers (whether they ride Harleys or some other brand) from letting themselves be recruited and used as props in Trump rallies, and as intimidators of Muslims.
Completely unrelated and you know it.
The layoffs are because "the kids" are not buying big fat motorcycles.
The National Football League will fine teams who allow players to kneel during the national anthem. But in 1943, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled students could not be required to salute the flag.
Roger Goodell, in his frenzy to kiss Donald Trumps butt and keep his billions of dollars in taxpayer subsidies flowing, is spitting on the Constitution.
Sue Goodell's fascist ass.
Trump stinks.
Goodell stinks.
Voyageur,
You know the First Amendment doesn't apply to "private" employers or groups of employers like the NFL. School kids have [some] rights — but employees, not so much.
So Goodell isn't spitting on the Constitution — he's depositing it elsewhere, as you properly note, as he shows devotion to the current *resident. I'll believe the owners are sincere as soon as they require ALL their employees — including those at concession stands and stores — to stand for the Star-Spangled Banner.
This work rule was also implemented without consulting with the Players Association. Should be interesting to see what this means: the NFLPA “will challenge any aspect of it that is inconsistent with the collective bargaining agreement."
The NFL is not a private employer, John. It receives billions in taxpayer dollars to pay for its stadiums. That means it must obey the law.
It also enjoys an exemption from anti-trust law that, among other things, allows it to blacklist players like Colin Kapernick and operate the draft.
Hale the fascist bastards into court. And boycott nfl advertisers and merchandise.
I suppose fining them is less extreme than banishment and deportation as someone else has advocated.
Rape, murder, domestic violence will be tolerated. Kneeling for the anthem, not so much.
I feel like we are living within a giant game of Jenga with the country's future at stake. Every day, attacks on the foundation of our democracy are removed block by block. Attacks on the rule of law, the media, civil liberties, elections, etc., etc.
And, we all know how Jenga games end.
Never far from your minds!
