So he did it on his own accord. And Because someone else expressed their thoughts and feelings about words and actions of his that hurt other humans. So unless I’m missing something, it’s perfectly fine to express your beliefs—-unless you are liberal. I think you missed the irony of your own post. I think it was you that missed the irony of your own post. Nah. I didn’t miss anything. It’s sad that you did. |

I need to investigate more, but initial discussions at my work will cause us a lot of problems. Without going into too many details, it could cost me my job. Trying to soak it all in right now. it really seemed like it would hurt more than it helps (I live near Coors and a Budweiser plant) Coors says it will cost lots of jobs across the need industry alone Eta: I really hope you don't lose your job I'll be honest I haven't been paying that much attention lately but how is this going to hurt Coors and Budweiser? Yes they will pay more for aluminum but so will everybody else. I don't really see that many people all of a sudden drinking less beer unless it is a huge increase in cost. I have no idea of the cost difference if it gets implemented. I also hope no one looses their job because of it. |

I have not read the Tribune article yet, but OMG, don't get me started on this total bullsh!t with the ID cards in Illinois. Rahm Emanuel and Snopes are BOTH full of sh!t. The past 2 nights Tucker Carlson has had these ID card stories to start his show. A couple of days ago there was a Chicago Alderman saying that Illinois residents HAD to show proof of citizenship to register to vote, and the ID cards wouldn't qualify. This is a frickin' Alderman looking straight in the camera and telling an absolute lie. Illinois residents do NOT need to show proof of citizenship, but they do need a photo i.d. GUESS WHAT? These ID cards are PHOTO ID's. This story was on the news months ago when the ID cards were first announced. I was furious. This is why we in Chicago are not concerned about Russians meddling in our elections. We have our own election rigging system. while I agree I think that we should capable to be worried about both- speaking not as a Chicagoan but concerned "neighbor". |

I agree. Do I think he meant it? No. Do you have to say everything 'joke' that comes to mind? No. He should have just kept his mouth shut. SaveSaveITA. Or tweet every inane thought that comes into his head. As the leader of our country he needs to learn to show some restraint. I agree but part of me wonders if he puts stuff out there just to see if it'll "stick", so to speak. "It was a joke" unless it becomes popular, deemed a good idea and gets some backing. |

Molson Coors has 8 brewing facilities in the US with the largest being in Colorado. That plant alone has the capacity to produce 7 billion beers a year. Add to that the production of their other plants along with the other beer makers and that $347.7 isn't all that much. I think I heard the cost increase would be less than a penny a can. I'm finding it hard to believe that's going to cost tens of thousands of jobs. |

It was local news here as Golden isn't too far and a Budweiser plant is here up north. Obviously I don't know all the one and outs, just want our local business owners are saying |

This is the kind of crap I was hoping to avoid on this thread. Noticed no one criticized her comments that I was responding to where she referenced liberals being the downfall of Christianity, gun ownership, can’t be white.... And I had not been rude in my responses to her—I pointed out the irony and did not attack her for being a conservative. But of course not. I’ll have to remind myself of the rules again. |

Sorry, when I quoted I intended to include her comment. I try to be fair when I call out crap. There are no rules but we're trying to have conversations here that are respectful regardless of whether we agree. |

Meh. I don't think it's ha-ha funny, but I certainly don't think Trump was being serious about the U.S. changing its laws to allow for a lifetime president. I do believe his daily detractors are well aware of that, but it's necessary to keep the outrage front and center. I’m talking about the people in the room who laughed at it Why? |

Honestly I am tired of both of you arguing all the damn time. It gets old. I was not only calling you out. I quoted what caboodle posted. Both of you need to put each other on ignore and move on. Neither of you are respectful to the other and neither of you will ever agree or change the other persons mind. |

I do believe his daily detractors are well aware of that, but it's necessary to keep the outrage front and center. Do you think this was a wise thing for him to say? I certainly don't feel any outrage as I've come to expect these type of statements from him, and trying to decipher truth/intent in the things he says seems a fools errand. But just because he CAN say anything he wants doesn't mean he should. That's a rule that applies to every single one of us. But in my opinion it certainly comes with more responsibility when we're talking about the President of the United States, doesn't it? You’re asking me a question then telling me how I’m supposed to answer it? Am I reading that right? |

Honestly, I've not even been involved or active in this thread since many on the left have visited this one specific thread. IMO, this should've been OUR thread, without their argument. They've got their thread and the entire board. This was supposed to be ONE THREAD where conservatives were free to share their thoughts and opinions on conservative issues. When conservatives are on the conservative thread, defending their position, that's when I said that this was bullshit and exited. ONE thread. I don't think it's asking too much to have the left refrain from being argumentative on ONE thread. And IMO, it's the little intrusions that have happened that have emboldened PCA to come in and behave like she usually does. |

Here's the thing for me on the beer.
It's not JUST the beer. I have no idea what the contribution margin is on a can of beer. But at the end of the day, trade wars DO NOT WORK. History tells us this. The very notion to micro one industry like this has and will backfire big time. It isn't just beer, it will have an influence across the spectrum of the economy.

Where exactly is the ignore button by the way? 1. Go to Profile (blue bar, at top of this screen) 2. On the Profile menu, choose Privacy. 3. On the Privacy menu, scroll all the way down to the bottom. 4. Where it says 'Member Block List' there will be a bar where you can add a member to your block list. Type their name in. There profile will pop up, and you click on their profile. It will then add them to your block list. 5. Beside their name on the block list, you will have a couple of choices of how far you want to go to block them (hide posts, don't get any notifications, etc) - just check the boxes you want. Hit 'save' at the bottom of the screen when you are all done. |

What do you think of the tariff talk? I need to investigate more, but initial discussions at my work will cause us a lot of problems. Without going into too many details, it could cost me my job. Trying to soak it all in right now. I just saw this as I was rereading some of the articles. I am sorry. I hope it does not cost you (or anyone else) their jobs. That has to be stressful to worry about. SaveSave |
