Thanks for the information about SmileDirectClub. Lots of brands seem to realize that being inclusive and embracing diversity is the way to go but then support politicians who don't share those values.

I was going to purchase their product next year (once I change my dental insurance) but will now look into alternative options.

I can't understand why this Foxconn story is not being splashed all over the papers in Wisconsin (a swing state!). This should be a lead story on CNN, MSNBC, the local papers, everywhere.

This is typical Donald Trump selling snake oil. He also claimed to have “opened” an Apple Manufacturing Plant in Austin, Texas, that had been operating there since 2012. The plant is not owned by Apple, but by Flex, which handles manufacturing for some of Apple products. Trump claimed that this “new” plant would bring back high paying jobs to America. You cannot trust a word the man says. Do your research!

Unfortunately, those who love trump wouldn’t know research if it hit them with a 2x4 upside their heads. That’s why we’re in the mess we find ourselves in now.

Kinda on the nose that Trump would be involved with something like this with "con" in the name, but here we are.

Poor Wisconsin, sad America, we love our entertainment too much and in 2016, 62 million people bought that snake oil because a dollar and a dream, boy...

Walker got his alright and walked and the taxpayers got theirs-in the ear and in their pockets. Back when all this hit the news I remember reading that Foxconn’s promises were mostly hot air but that got buried under trumps pile of BS. Nothing would please me more than to have Wisconsin turn bright blue in response to this expensive boondoggle.

Thank you for information which I'm glad to share! the "common media" would rather talk about a faux story from the murdick empire's nypost. You are a much needed counterpart.

I believe that the lawsuit against Microsoft is just a plea for money for the Republicans because the Democrats are out raising them by an incredible amount. Republicans want these fat cats to help with their campaign funding. See U.S. versus Microsoft around the 1990s. The antitrust lawsuit ended after Bill Gates gave each party half a million dollars. This reminds me of that story.

Trump is as bad as the mob boss con man Hans-Erik Wennerström from the girl with the dragon tattoo. Similarities include the fact they both also abuse women. Judd you are Lisbeth Salander without the crazy good hacking skills
