I wasnt personally offended. I just noted his comment was offensive.

Why are you so upset? I was trying to discuss the truth about GM’s statement and the media. And how everything is politically motivated.

By sticking an uninsulated wire into an electrical outlet? Better hope it's not an old recalled Federal Pacific breaker box.

You ever do electrical work? Ever see somebody zapped?

Not much of a joke.

I have done some. And i watched my boss have a screwdriver melt in his hand once.

This is a picture on the internet that is being passed around as humor. We are not children here and are not really sticking metal into outlets I hope.

You seem to have plenty of humor when buck wishes someone else dead. Or is it adrenaline?

And it wasnt me who degraded this discussion.

You degrade every discussion you engage in politics.

Not just my opinion.

Maybe stick to selling $29.95 gms. to old people. I just give it to them.

Have a nice troll.

Gm has not built cars in america for a long time. Mexico and canada have been their factory locations for decades.

We do have sub contractors manufacturing glass and bumpers and mirrors and stuff here in america. Many people build car parts. Just not cars. American car factories build asian cars. Lol.

Ummm wrong, our factories are just like your factories. They are assembly plants, no different anywhere. The days of a car “factory” are long gone. You do realize they shut down an “assembly” plant here as well, yes? As for the tariffs, they did say the trade war would cause job losses. I still think GM fucked us all up the ass though. Should be made to repay all of the monies they were given to keep jobs here.

Gm trucks have been assembled in canada and shipped back to us for years. Even if some of the parts are manufactured here and elsewhere.

And they did pay back the deal offered but i agree all money should be included.

Why so bitter? Why join in on lies about someone? Do you leave feeling good about the response?

Actually, I may be the least bitter person on this site.

I'll tell you something though that you probably already know.

I never met a Trump supporter yet IRL that wasn't to some degree a racist dick head. They use horrible terms referring to blacks, Muslims, Mexicans and pretty much anyone who doesn't look like them. And there's a lot of them around here.

Now I'm not talking about your more normal pragmatic old style Republican, I'm talking about these pin head Trump supporters with the disgusting stickers all over their cars who think that POS entitled rich boy who had everything handed to him in this world is some kind of great guy.

It remains mind boggling to the majority of the country how anyone could support lies, chaos and disruption.

Just listen to him talk for 5 minutes. You can't possibly defend that shit.

I was watching a buddy work on a dryer. I asked if he turned the breaker off. He said yes. I asked again. He said mind my own business. I watched as he shorted out some pliers and blew the fillings out of some of his teeth.

Just the fact that you think i support or defend trump shows the hysterical nature of your opinion.

I just dont like misinformation. And i dont like when people further it especially for personal agenda.

It has nothing to do with our criminal electoral system or any of the power hungry humans involved.

You are joining in parroting rediculous lies about me manufactured by an internet fraud who thinks his popularity here is more important than even acting like a decent human.

And none of you like it when someone else does it.

Your side is just as guilty as the other. And there is no majority of members supporting the few angry politics posters here at riu.

I am only treated this way in here. And i post in multiple forums on multiple websites.

You guys are angry beyond reason and acting just like the enemy and the media.

We need a new side.

Many years ago I worked for a high rise building company. We used impact wrenches to do up and take off the bolts on fly forms. The wrenches were metal cased and poorly grounded. It rains a lot in Vancouver! Combine that with a metal ladder and as you got wetter throughout the day your resistance would drop and every time you squeezed the trigger you would get mildly electrocuted. It got to the point you wanted to tell the truth to make it stop!
