@taiwan_girl That is one of the reasons I think we need to re-open/re-join the TPP. Not at all likely in the foreseeable future. In fact, I am confident that US foreign trade and investment policy during the coming four years will be to undermine that and other multinational trade and investment agreements and partnerships.

What I dont understand is, especially for someone in the military, is that if you go on a interview and bash your bosses and organization, why do you think that there will be no follow up or consequences? If I remember, we had a discussion on this about someone at a company who gave an interview(?)/podcast(?)/wrote a book(?) and then was surprised when there was follow up. I think the consensus from this forum board was that, yeah, you can say what you want, but be prepared for follow ups.

They are delicious

@jon-nyc said in Trump may be set to win another one...: Last I checked they had a first amendment right to say whatever the fuck they want. The suit is frivolous. Agreed. They probably didn't have Trump staffers yelling at them.

@jon-nyc said in Gee, I hope they freeze their butts off...: They accomplished so much last time. Just think of all the selfies and instagram stories. They got Madonna to show up and dream about an assassination. So, there's that.
