It's funny how Syph was all about the conspiracies, leaks and expectations when it looked like Hillary might be winning but now everything is baseless speculation when Trump was elected.
It's funny how you don't list a single example to back up what you just said.
1. Name a single conspiracy about Hillary I subscribed to. Yes, I think the DNC helped her and the media was biased in her favor during the election, but do you really classify those as "conspiracies"? Would you even bother arguing the former?
2. What leaks of Trump's was I ever against? No shit I liked the Hillary leaks; she's a corrupt person and I was rooting against her. More importantly, while I don't agree with the methods used to obtain the information, once it becomes publicly available, we have a duty to read it and judge based on that information.
I'll wait here with my dick in hand while you fail to come up with an example where I was against a Trump leak. Quite frankly, I don't even know what that would entail. Telling people to avert their ears/eyes? Do you recall me defending the grab-them-by-the-pussy leak? Wtf are you even talking about?
3. Expectations are by definition a speculation. If this criticism pertains to what Freyj said, I still don't get your point. Of course I was talking about expectations during the election, that is literally what the campaigns are run on. Did I focus on Hillary? No shit, it seemed like she was going to win.
Now that Trump won and is President, naturally I'm focusing on what he is actually doing and not on campaign rhetoric. Granted, he has shown that much of what he said on the campaign trail he does indeed intend to implement, but if you use that same logic, he also said he was a friend of the LGBT community (to use the example that I'm assuming *triggered* you). Can't have it both ways.
In addition, it's difficult not to take fault with the embarrassment that is mainstream media, and their overzealous speculation. So yeah, I do think a lot is "baseless" as you say. Because I actually take the time to read statements or watch CSPAN or whatever, not just headlines and hashtags. Of course, that doesn't mean I agree or think everything Trump is doing is right (not by a long-shot) nor do I think the media never gets it correct or isn't allowed to speculate. But that in no way contradicts my previous sentences.
However, you know what you will find if you go through my posts? A recurring theme of me saying I don't like Hillary but more importantly, that I don't like Trump either. I honestly couldn't have repeated myself more on that. I wanted the Republicans to win but I never supported Trump. Albeit now he is President, so of course I hope he does well because that is in everyone's best interest.
Do you really not recall me supporting Rubio from day 1? That was never a secret lol

Also see: every EO that's been signed thus far with all of the "just relax, quit overreacting, don't take him literally" nonsense spewed prior to each.
Every EO eh?
Don't know how I feel about the h1b thing. On one hand, I know for a fact h1bs are used to abuse the system and keep salaried artificially low. That being said, doing anything about it will just move all those jobs offshore and obliterate a large section of it jobs. But you do have to do something.
Do you think it's significant enough to offshore a meaningful percentage of jobs in the short-run though? What about the infrastructure that already exists in Silicon Valley for example?
I mean I guess we're just talking buying new computers but I'm sure there are some benefits from the scale they already have in place.
It's hard to predict short and long-term here since I could argue either side lol
