Just a reminder, Hillary ran up the popular vote in ultra liberal California, not representative of the country, and lost the popular vote in the remaining 49 states.

If you want to be a pedant, you've got to actually be correct. Hint, the difference between 28,000 and 21,000 is not 6,000.

And Trump isn't in office yet, wait for him to actually arrive. Bet you'll be silent once these so-called "sensationalized" headlines become reality.

BREAKING: U.S. Steel CEO Says 10,000 Jobs To Be Brought Back? All Because Of Trump

http://thetruthdivision.com/2016/12/b ... ght-back-thanks-to-trump/

The ?Truth Division? huh? A news source that boldly claims to be truthful should inspire as much confidence as bank that claims it doesn?t steal your money.

"I'm more than happy to bring back the employees that we were forced to lay off during the depressing period," Longhi said in an interview on CNBC. Which "could be close to 10,000 jobs."

The company had about 21,000 employees in North America as of Dec. 31, down from about 28,000 in 2007.

"Market conditions will dictate if, when and how many employees we can recall," a U.S. Steel spokeswoman told Reuters on Wednesday.

I take it the usual "progressive" trolls are unable to respond, and have to wait for their media to issue talking points to tell them what to think, and they'll comment on this tomorrow.

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

Boeing is building a brand new 747 Air Force One for future presidents, but costs are out of control, more than $4 billion. Cancel order!

8:52 AM - 6 Dec 2016

So refreshing to see a president who actually cares about cutting waste, fraud, and abuse.

As he wastes millions to retrofit his private plane in 3, 2, 1...

And Hillary continues her presidential dreams spending millions on ballot recounts.

She's completely lost it at this point. Guess she mentally cannot handle the fact that it was Her turn yet Trump deprived her.

Pointing to the popular vote is completely irrelevant, as has already been explained. The only metric that counts is the Electoral College, which was a landslide. Even the liberal Washington Post debunked your little theory.

We used $40 million as the starting point for 1974. Honghui Chen, associate professor of finance at the University of Central Florida, told us the account would have grown to $3.94 billion by November 2015 if the money had followed the S&P 500 index and all dividends had been reinvested.

This is a rough calculation that ignores taxes owed on dividends, but it?s on the same scale as what the National Journal reported.

"Because the stock market in 1982 was quite volatile, the current value of $200 million investment in 1982 would depend on the time at which it was initially invested," Chen said.

If it went in right at the end of 1981, it would be worth $6.7 billion. Invested in June 1982, the value today would be $8.3 billion. Invested at the end of 1982, it would be worth $9 billion. Again, in the neighborhood of what the Journal said.

The only way to hit the $8 billion mark is to start with $200 million in 1982, and it's wrong to say that was Trump's father's money. While the father's business put Trump on the path to have $200 million in 1982, Trump himself had been running the company for eight years.

We rate this claim False.

I finally found a Trump supporter ? this morning when I went to buy coffee. (I noticed a Trump bumper sticker on his car.)

?Hi,? I said. ?Noticed your Trump bumper sticker.?

?Yup,? he said, a bit defensively.

?I hope you don?t mind my asking, but I?m curious. Why are you supporting him??

?I know he?s a little bit much,? said the Trump supporter. ?But he?s a successful businessman. And we need a successful businessman as president.?

?How do you know he?s a successful businessman?? I asked.

?Because he?s made a fortune.?

?Has he really?? I asked.

?Of course. Forbes magazine says he?s worth four and a half billion.?

?That doesn?t mean he?s been a success,? I said.

?In my book it does,? said the Trump supporter.

?You know, in 1976, when Trump was just starting his career, he said he was worth about $200 million,? I said. ?Most of that was from his father.?

?That just proves my point,? said the Trump supporter. ?He turned that $200 million into four and a half billion. Brilliant man.?

?But if he had just put that $200 million into an index fund and reinvested the dividends, he?d be worth twelve billion today,? I said.

The Trump supporter went silent.

"And he got about $850 million in tax subsidies, just in New York alone,? I said.

More silence.

?He?s not a businessman,? I said. ?He?s a con man. "Hope you enjoy your coffee.?

During their private White House meeting on Thursday, Mr. Obama walked his successor through the duties of running the country, and Mr. Trump seemed surprised by the scope, said people familiar with the meeting. Trump aides were described by those people as unaware that the entire presidential staff working in the West Wing had to be replaced at the end of Mr. Obama?s term.

After meeting with Mr. Trump, the only person to be elected president without having held a government or military position, Mr. Obama realized the Republican needs more guidance. He plans to spend more time with his successor than presidents typically do, people familiar with the matter said.

Are you kidding? The Hollywood types who all pledged to move to Canada would all vote for a Kardashian.

I wonder why no one is saying they want to move to Mexico? :)

When the marriage equality legislature was in process, plenty of wedding-oriented businesses refused to serve gay couples. The argument was that they have the right to not serve people with whom they had differences. I see this as no different.

That's a good point. Remind me, what did "progressives" say about that issue? How did it turn out? Are they making the same arguments now?

Left didn't like it, and right won't like this. Everyone is a hypocrite

When you fill out the registration form one question is asked, are you a citizen? If you answer yes, you can proceed. If you answer no, then you do not proceed. Let's not forget the form is in English and Spanish and has been for awhile. I remember when Cubans were voting in the 1960s and early 1970s before they were granted citizenship. They claimed they were Puerto Ricans who do have citizenship.

It seems that there is an additional step, no?

Steps 3-5 ? Provide your name, date of birth and your valid New Jersey Driver?s License or ID card number. If you don't have one, provide the last 4 digits of your Social Security number.

You can make up the last four numbers, it is not the whole sequence. I remember Times Square had these store fronts which for $65.00 would give you an ID. This was awhile ago, but I was amazed how they advertised so brazenly. Children who are enrolled in public schools are supposed to have Social Security numbers too, but North Hudson towns have a lot of children enroll from illegal parents where the children were not born here and the schools do not turn them down. People here forget former mayor McCann voted in the school election and later the board of elections said he was not qualifed after his vote was counted. You cannot vote while on parole or probation. It takes a while to catch violations and really how do you catch someone with only 4 digits from Social Security?
