Despite the fact that nothing has changed in the two days since the election they decide to lay off employees. I've seen how corrupt the company can be over the years and am fairly certain the layoffs are just a way to make the President look bad.

of course nothing happened over the next two days, try the next year or so when obamacare comes into play, and the bush tax cuts are allowed to expire, and tax hikes on the rich are imposed.

whoever wrote that is severely mentally deficient.

This, and the reinstatement of the brady bill, along with the clinton assault rifle ban. what a joke. its funny how Ive grown up in a house full of loaded guns, where I can easily reach them if needed, but I NEVER EVER thought about playing with them. And I never shot myself or my buddies either. Because I was taught correctly. Ill save the rest of my rant for another topic. Had to get that out.

Its one thing in 2008 when Obama stated over and over that he would end bi-partisanship. He was whatever we wanted him to be. But he was just like every other candidate for either party.

I think DOMS is a perfect example of why gun control even gets pushed. I grew up in an age too when guns were kept on an unlocked display rack and they were what they were. they were a tool for hunting, target shooting, and if need be protection. They were not something unstable people used to have a temper tantrum with. back then it mattered to simply be a decent human being and handle yourself like a man and not act like a little bitch having a fit.

and DOMS,for the record... good girls don't think performing oral sex on a man is a bad thing and we don't need facials because we aren't opposed to swallowing. maybe you should settle your sexual anger issues with your wife and keep them out of open chat.

I know, your daughter told me.

i'm sure you're earning yourself a lot of respect behaving so out of control.

I'm proud that you've reigned in your craziness enough to pretend to take the moral and intellectual high ground. Of course, the next time you snap, it's gonna be a doozie.

I read once that bitterness can lead to cancer. It know seems plausible.

Of course companies are going to lay off now, because of where the economy is bound to go FURTHER, the shitter.



Im just curious if you will still have that typical liberal mindset LW after this 4 years is up(if we make it). Ehh... who am I kidding liberals will still blame bush for the shithole we will be left with.

who's pretending? i have more class than you. not that that's a gargantuan feat. you seem more bitter than i could ever be. let's not forget, i'm not the one that started saying you were blowing people because i simply didn't like your opinion. you seem to be projecting some personal problems here.

How Many Companies Announced Closings or Layoffs Since Obama Won A Second Term? | TheBlaze.com

you would have to be retarded to believe those company's are closing because Obama got re-elected and not from the simple fact that their profits have fallen due to the reduction of consumption in the US, an effect from the 2008 recession.

more company's will be closing and laying off workers when the global recession from the EU (now in full recession) hits the US. it will be 2008 all over again except with worst circumstances.

you guys should read the financials and not political websites if you ever want to learn or benefit from the flavor of capitalism practiced in the US.

If you mean dodging the actual arguments and then posting links to other topics to change the subject then yes you've definitely held your own.
