Caterpillar pays about as much in Illinois Corporate Income Taxes as I do. They qualify for so many Income Tax and Replacement Tax credits that they really don’t have to pay a dime of CIT.

But it also implicates her of crimes she didn’t commit. Intent is hard to prove in cases like this which is why the FBI did not charge her with anything. I’m sure Clinton doesn’t even want a pardon for this very reason.

You’re exactly right. Their anger is misplaced. Did Obama force Caterpillar to acquire Bucyrus Mining? Did Obama force them to appoint a horrible CEO? Did Obama force them to expand globally during a worldwide recession? Of course not.

I think he was too busy fucking everything.

Yeah, but they really got owned in Porky’s II.

Your response is why it won’t or shouldn’t happen. Pardoning her were implicate her in crimes she’s never been charged with committing.

Pardon her for what? She hasn’t been charged with anything.

I’m really going to miss the Obama. A nice, classy, hard working person that I admired and respected and was always proud to say is My President. At least he’s leaving with approval ratings of +50%.

White supremacy reigned strong across Missouri, Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania. Let’s see how the people who voted for Trump in these states feel in four years.

Do Jill’s votes even matter that much? Clinton is ahead in the popular vote but nowhere close in the electoral college. Those votes would have to be perfectly distributed across Pennsylvania and Michigan to really matter. They wouldn’t make a difference in states like Wisconsin, North Carolina and Florida.

Great post. This is not a good time for us but these are all beliefs and principles that I will never stop fighting for. Better days are ahead for us.

Meh. Ordinarilly I do, but it’s a rather lame and harmless troll. Not really getting under my skin. We’ll see how happy Trump supporters are in four years. Something tells me that their failure in life goes beyond who is POTUS.

I grew up in Peoria and can understand the anger there. Caterpillar is not doing well at all and there have been thousands of layoffs. Caterpillar is the only game in town and if you can’t get a job there, there aren’t many other places to work. That’s why I don’t live there anymore.

Let’s see how Donald does and we’ll talk in four years. There’s a Chinese curse that states “May you get what you wish for.”

I like it better than incompetence. I have no problem supporting someone who can actually do the job.

As bad as we are feeling, can you imagine how she feels? All that time, money and effort for nothing! She also has to concede to someone who has threatened to jail her.

I’m with her....still.

I actually live in Naperville (just easier to say Chicago) and it isn’t that bad here. I have no idea what the final vote tally was, but I’m sure it was mixed. I grew up in Central Illinois where it is a lot redder.....

Pretty much. Latinos can come out in huge numbers in California and Texas, but it won’t change the electoral count. One state is going blue the other is going to be red. It doesn’t matter if Clinton wins California by millions or hundreds. This is why the electoral college is dated and needs to be reformed. It doesn’t…

You are correct. He believes that guns should be as easy to obtain as a bagel. He also believes in legalizing all drugs (something I would be okay with). He believes in little to no government. His platform isn’t going to fly with anyone who is a standard democrat and is more in line with a chaos candidate (Trump).
