Trump said during the campaign that he'd begin building the big, beautiful wall in his first day in office.... how many days ago was that?!?
No wall is getting built, Trumpists might as well start the cognitive dissonance process right now.

Korben,
The day you understand this will be the day you embrace President Trump. (There is method to that madness, but I don't think you are at the point where you will allow yourself to see it. (Here's a hint. When Trump builds, he ALWAY states facts to his crew, his legal staff, etc., in the way you mean. If he didn't his stuff would be shoddy and he wouldn't make money.)
Apropos - How come you never complain about just stating facts re the mainstream fake news media or the establishment anti-Trumpers and Deep State? They don't just exaggerate, they make up shit that never existed, that never will exist, and pass it off as fact.
Yet you don't complain. Are you down with that?
Michael
Well my point is that Trump is fine producing fake news of his own...
But just for kicks, here was a fake news story about Trump that I saw the other day:
North Korea vows to KEEP nuclear weapons in huge blow to Trump as WW3 tensions soar
NORTH Korea has no plans to scrap its nuclear arsenal in a huge blow to Donald Trump as tensions soar on the Korean peninsular.
[...] (blah blah blah, fake news, fake news, blah blah) [...]

This story is fake news and pretty easy to spot, it showed up in Google News.

Trump reality check on the economy:
The GDP Rate (4.2%) is higher than the Unemployment Rate (3.9%) for the first time in over 100 years!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 10, 2018Fact check: Is Trump right on a 100-year record for GDP and unemployment?
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-gdp-growth-unemployment-rate-tweet-fact-check-2018-09-10/
[...]
THE FACTS: The economy, though healthy, has been in better shape at many times in the past. GDP growth has surpassed the unemployment rate multiple times since the 1940s.
Economic growth reached 4.2 percent at an annualized rate in the second quarter, while the unemployment rate stands at 3.9 percent. Yet GDP growth has exceeded the unemployment rate more than a dozen times since the late 1940s, such as during the economic expansions of the 1950s and the late 1990s.
So far, the economy is growing at a modest rate compared with previous economic expansions. In the late 1990s, growth topped 4 percent for four straight years, from 1997 through 2000. In the 1980s expansion, growth even reached 7.2 percent in 1984.

So why can't Trump just state the facts? The economy is better than it has been in a while, why isn't that fact enough for Trump? Instead, he creates some fake news... SAD!

Omarosa has a theory on who wrote the op-ed... so whodunnit?!
Recognizing the Pence link here, the thing about Pence is I have thought he would be lining up for the Presidency after Trump runs his terms. Pence was strong in the vice-presidential debates, the Republican party would likely want to re-emerge with more of its principles, and Pence will be ready to run for office. I don't think Pence had anything to do with the op-ed, but it does make sense someone around him might have...

So.... whodunnit?! Well that's what I want to know, and apparently this guy on CNN sez he has figured out who wrote the op-ed:
Phew that's one hell of a conspiracy theory: the person who wrote the op-ed has strong ties to Congress, and by writing the op-ed it would deter Trumpists from voting so that the democrats could gain the house, and by gaining the house they could move forward with impeaching Trump, and also have enough influence for conviction as well. This, folks, is conspiracy making 101. Is it true? All of it? Nope. Just look at all that alignment, a perfect array of factors leading up to impeach Trump...
So maybe he has a theory who wrote the op-ed, maybe he's right. I don't think Trump is getting impeached soon, even if the democrats win the house. Move along.. nothing to see here...
And one more rambling thought, I don't want Trump to get impeached. How'z that for my supposed anti-Trumpism?!!!?

Trump inauguration crowd size was the biggest EVAR!
From The Guardian:
Trump inauguration crowd photos were edited after he intervened
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/sep/06/donald-trump-inauguration-crowd-size-photos-edited
A government photographer edited official pictures of Donald Trump’s inauguration to make the crowd appear bigger following a personal intervention from the president, according to newly released documents.
The photographer cropped out empty space “where the crowd ended” for a new set of pictures requested by Trump on the first morning of his presidency, after he was angered by images showing his audience was smaller than Barack Obama’s in 2009.
The detail was revealed in investigative reports released to the Guardian under the Freedom of Information Act by the inspector general of the US interior department.
[...]
“[The NPS photographer] said he edited the inauguration photographs to make them look more symmetrical by cropping out the sky and cropping out the bottom where the crowd ended,” the investigators reported, adding: “He said he did so to show that there had been more of a crowd.”
[...]
The newly released files said Spicer was closely involved in the effort to obtain more favourable photographs. He called Reynolds immediately after the acting director spoke with Trump and then again at 3pm shortly before the new set of photographs was sent to the White House, investigators heard.

?? Sales and stocks prices are two very different things.
I'm seeing now that I misread the article title. Looks like some good news for Nike...

If by "creative stats" you mean a ticker name followed by a number and in a different color, such things are common in financial markets articles. They are current time price quotes often updated. If looking at the page when the market is open, it might update while you are reading it or if you refresh it. Ditto for the numbers in red in your post.
The article you posted claimed, "Nike’s online sales jumped 31% after company unveiled Kaepernick campaign, data show." It didn't. The image I posted clearly shows the stock fell after the announcement---the announcement was on Sept 3rd, the next day the market was open was Sept 4th and there is a clear drop in price. Can you see it? (Also see here: Nike Shares Fall Following Announcement of Kaepernick Ad Campaign)
The article you posted might be talking about the rebound the stock took in days following, which is also on the chart. The article you posted, however, made the claim, "Nike’s online sales jumped 31% after company unveiled Kaepernick campaign, data show," which clearly it did not. Maybe the days following the initial drop, but it fell after the initial announcement.

It's not censorship by the government, that would be violating free speech. It's a company taking care of their brand! You can kick someone out of your store if they are disrupting things, KICK ALEX OUT

Here's another and he even makes more sense about Rubio.
Styx is right. If Rubio did not know who Alex Jones was, what the hell was he doing on that committee seeing that Alex's picture was plastered all over the prime real estate of the news and Internet for at least a solid week when he got banned on the major social media platforms? That was all the major pundits talked about. And considering that Alex's banning is essentially what prompted the Senate to look into this social media thing in the first place, is it too much to ask that a Senator on the committee be aware of it?
I mean, Jeez... How clueless do you have to be to be an establishment Senator? It cluelessness the new standard?
For Rubio supporters, this poor reputation of his is a real thing that threatens to grow. It's not going to go away unless Rubio makes some serious changes and I don't see that in his stars at this moment.

Look at Marco Rubio acting like he doesn't know what Infowars is or who Alex Jones is.
Here's the rough video of Alex Jones confronting Marco Rubio.
— Paul Joseph Watson (@PrisonPlanet) September 5, 2018
Rubio claimed to not know who Jones was, then got triggered when Jones patted him on the back.
Rubio claimed he knew nothing about Big Tech deplatforming conservatives. pic.twitter.com/MdOQrRWDhjRubio is establishment elitist and he's acting like it.
If getting the social media censorship problem falls to him to resolve, he won't do anything.
I did get a kick out of Alex's chutzpah in calling Rubio a fratboy and so on.
But notice it only came after Rubio did his little politician thing of pretending he didn't know about Alex and double-speaking everything.
I don't think Rubio realizes yet the size of the voting block that Alex represents.
But he'll find out before too long.
The overall emotional impression you get watching this, even if you don't like Alex, is that Alex has in-your-face balls and Rubio is a dainty "let them eat cake" Republican insider protected by privilege.
A mongrel pitbull and a peacock pansy butterfly.
Michael
Rubio might be President one day, meanwhile Alex is currently going down in flames and looks desperate here.
How many times did Alex have to plug INFOWARS during this clip? Publicity stunt.
Alex is a bully.

You know, wasn't this thread supposed to be about Alex and the Bullying Establishment, yet here he is bullying Rubio on video, where Rubio had nothing to do with Alex's bans? hhmmmmm.....

The stock market is an anticipatory market so it’s simply traders and institutions dumping stock because they figure the stock goes down from here as they view revenues dropping as people get turned off their political play with the ad and their corporate stance .
Personally , I would have shorted Nike for the same reason so it makes sense about the reaction to the stock , in my view .
Yup, that news made Nike ripe to short sell

Looks like Alex is getting desperate, and the bans are taking a toll on him

-3.2% in one day is a noisy blip. NKE was up 57% the previous 12 months. The blip was a knee-jerk reaction from some investors. There isn't only one market. There is the stock market and the consumer market. People who decide to buy/sell/hold NKE stock are not the same set of people who buy NKE goods such as shoes. Very likely NKE executives considered how both markets would react and believed the net effect of the action would be neutral or even positive in the market of consumers, i.e. NKE's revenues.
I think the mid/long term effect will either have Nike see no change in their stock pattern for the selected term, or it will benefit them. In the short term, the stock did have a downturn due to the news, however. I think we agree on a lot here

Nike stocks dropped over 2.2% within an hour of trade opening. And -3.2% on the day
Yea when it was announced about the new "just do it" campaign, I figured Nike would take a hit from this. From an objective standpoint, it's going to turn people away from the brand, and sales will suffer some from it... so the market is reacting correctly here, in this instance at least.

Campaign promise Trump failed on delivering: Mexico will pay for the border wall. When will Trumpeters finally realize Trump can't keep his campaign promises? Here's a few:
"Lock her up!!" --- HRH going to jail over the e-mail scandal. Trump even told her to her face in the 3rd Presidential debate:
So where's HRH now? Not in jail. Trump has done nothing.
How about another one? Repeal and replace Obamacare. How did that go?
Trump failed. And he's not pursuing it---largely because Trump believes in universal healthcare much like Obama. (Look it up.)
So how about Mexico paying for the border wall? Back in January 2018, Trump told the WSJ this:
"They can pay for it indirectly through NAFTA, [...]. We make a good deal on NAFTA, and, say, 'I'm going to take a small percentage of that money and it's going toward the wall.' Guess what? Mexico's paying."
Guess what? The Mexico trade deal announced yesterday doesn't have anything to do with Mexico paying for a border wall:
So Mexico isn't paying for the wall. Fail, another campaign promise failed.
So let's review:
- Hillary to jail --- FAIL
- Repeal and replace O'care --- FAIL
- Mexico paying for the wall --- FAIL
Where's all that WINNING????
And where is that border wall anyway?Anyone still think it will ever be built?

Trump will campaign to need 4 more years to build the wall, and during his second term he won't get it built then, either.
Hope is a powerful tool, keep hope alive!
But hey after 8 years of Trump and no wall, just blame it on the Dems
