One last time....

 

The president does not write tax law, the congress does. DT can only influence them. They can tell him to go play on the highway or go along. It is their call, not his.

 

DT cannot dictate where a company chooses to do its thing. He can try and convince congress to pass legislation more favorable to keeping business here, but has no control over individual business decisions on where they set up shop.

 

As for regulation control, he can only control agency inspired regulation. Regulation that comes from congress he has no ability to nullify without being subject to impeachment.

 

And anything he tries to do on his own can be stopped by congress if they do choose. The only way a president can do something is if congress doesn't stop him, which was the major factor in how Obama did what he did. A willing, spineless congress and a amiable judiciary.

Ok he has no power. I guess he's tricking Ford, GM, Japan, the labor unions, IBM. Major companies are lining to get on the Trump train. You wouldn't hear that on CNN. Like I said we'll see. Really done now.

Colossus, Sorry I missed wishing you a "Merry Christmas" two months ago but let me make up for it now :)

Baah -- humbug to you ! Now you should feel better :):) By the way I ordered a 2017 Canyon Denali for my Christmas present. It will be better than the lump of coal I got in Dec.

CNN was surprised at the reaction of people according to poll. DT gave a good speech!

It was a great speech, irregardless if one agrees with everything in it or not. A lot of it, I hope he can sway the political class to go along with and get it done.

Well said. Remembering those I served with. Some who never came home. Keep a thought and a prayer for those currently serving. A great new generation of Americans protecting us. America has always produced quality people who realize there is something more important than their own selfish interests.

My street was alive with American flags today in addition to the one i fly every day. Made me proud to have served and remember those who are no longer with us.

Seen the national bird today(Bald Eagle) within a mile of my house today! What a sight! Glad I live in the good old USA! Repeated the national anthem! Never seen one in the 45 yrs I have lived here. Take a deep breath and say thanks to all that serve and protect this great nation. God Bless America! He was having squirrel for supper!

Love this! God Bless the USA!

God will only bless the USA if we deserve it and earn it. Too many out there who go out and knowingly do stupid stuff and then say God bless the USA.

Well, we kicked God out of our schools. We kicked God out of government. We have kicked God out of our national dialogue. We have just about kicked God out of our entire national existence, and then we want God to bless the USA. Tough sell. It wasn't all that long ago, President Franklin Roosevelt (a Democrat no less!) actually led the nation in prayer on D-Day, June 6, 1944 in a live broadcast. Can you imagine that happening today? Oh, the outrage that would ensue. A president doing that today would be vilified and there would be calls for impeachment.

 

Interesting observation I found recently.......

 

 

Poem - Don't Blame Me (Lubeck, Germany)
"Ancient words of a centuries old poem carved in a gothic, medieval alphabet on a towering, ornate cathedral door right in the heart of Lubeck, Germany. Translated into modern English, the words take the form of a frightening poem. Here is what the poem says:" (Source - Twilight's Last Gleaming - By: Dr. Chuck Missler)


You call me eternal, then do not seek me
You call me fair, then do not love me
You call me gracious, then do not trust me
You call me just, then do not fear me
You call me life, then do not choose me
You call me light, then do not see me
You call me Lord, then do not respect me
You call me master, then do not obey me
You call me merciful, then do not thank me
You call me mighty, then do not honor me
You call me noble, then do not serve me
You call me rich, then do not ask me
You call me Savior, then do not praise me
You call me shepherd, then do not follow me
You call me the Way, then do not walk with me
You call me wise, then do not heed me
You call me Son of God, then do not worship me
When I condemn you, then do not blame me.

      Mangoal or FitcamX OEM Dashcam?

      By MANGOAL · Posted

      Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge.

      Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
