Trump's cameo in 'Home Alone 2' cut for time, Canadian TV network says

[sandorski]

Or maybe lib TDS has indeed grown so powerful it can literally bend the known laws of the universe to remove trump from an old Canadian boadcast. Fear us MAGA hats lest we deploy our fearsome new weaponry against other media appearances of your corpulent orange god until he is erased from history!

Trump is fading from History like Marty McFly. That's why his Speech is odd at times.

FYI guys compuwiz1 has stated before that he isn’t here for meaningful discussion and basically wants to troll.

Like you think any real world answers are gonna come from a bunch of knuckle heads on an internet forum.. Get over yourself. This is for fun, this is for sport.

Trolling as sport is for the small minded, so it’s right up your alley.

The real irony here is that he likes to call people sheep or sheeple, presumably a reference to Orwell's Animal Farm, apparently without realizing that the real purpose of the sheep in Animal Farm was to create distractions and noise so that the other animals could never work together against the pigs and dogs. Yaknow, just like trolling.

A Canadian broadcaster explained why it cut Donald Trump's cameo from its airing of "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York." .

The edit sparked both praise and outrage on Twitter from users who perceived it as politically charged. The hashtag #DefundCBC trended on Twitter.

The Canadian Broadcasting Corp. confirmed the scene was edited out but said the cut was made before Trump became president.

In the scene, Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin) walks through the Plaza Hotel – once owned by Trump, whom he asks for directions to a phone booth to contact his parents.

"As is often the case with feature films adapted for television, 'Home Alone 2' was edited for time. The scene with Donald Trump was one of several that were cut from the movie as none of them were integral to the plot," Chuck Thompson, head of CBC Public Affairs, said in an emailed statement to USA TODAY. "These edits were done in 2014 when we first acquired the film and before Mr. Trump was elected president."
The movie was broadcast multiple times this holiday season, including on Christmas Day.

The CBC version of the film caught the attention of Donald Trump Jr., who tweeted an article about the scene being cut. He tweeted the clip from the film in full.

President Trump praised the movie during a videoconference call to overseas U.S. troops Tuesday.

"It’s a big Christmas hit – one of the biggest," he said. "So it’s an honor to be involved in something like that, you always like to see success.”

And faux news had to eat a big plate full of shit, since they spent 2 days wailing about Canada's tds.
Effing morons.

Meh, chuds won't care. Whole world is out to get them in one way or another.

 

[zinfamous]

I'm not disagreeing with you on that. I'm saying I don't know anyone who's vote was influenced by Russia.

Well, yours was.

Literally every bullshit thing you believe to be true about Hillary, and Democrats, is pure Russian propaganda.

That's a fucking fact. As this influences your thinking, and how you vote, your brain is controlled by Russia.

It isn't any other way, and no flailing denial of that absolute fact on your part is going to change the truth of how little control you have over your own thinking as a flag-waving GOPer.

But, the idea that Trump was responsible, complicit or colluded is absolutely false and it has been debunked.

And this is a complete lie. Again, your belief in this obvious, proven lie reveals the influence of Russian propaganda on your brain, and thus your decision-making.

 

[blankslate]

It's not often that one considers fun when people are angered over a less than 15 second cameo edited out of a movie... but this does bring a smile to my face.

People have been advocating his removal over Russia's influence, which just wasn't something he had any responsibility for, nor was his candidacy the first where this has happened.

Have you read the Mueller report?

I think there is something newsworthy about this story. It's newsworthy that the President cares about such things as to spread them to the public as evidence of bias against him and to suggest it is tied directly politically. And newsworthy that Fox hosts did the same. Trump has actively put in issue the idea that he and anyone who might have any sort of affiliation with him are under constant threat, and conservative media has perpetuated this, I imagine often at an unconscious level.

It is easy here for fonts to conjure such a repetition. It's too bad all of us are so afraid of self-examination as to play out both sides of the repetition.

U.S. companies are forcing workers to train their own foreign replacements

Opponents of job outsourcing are making an appeal to Trump to stop the "knowledge transfer" practice.

www.axios.com

Opponents of job outsourcing are making a holiday-season appeal to President Trump: Stop U.S. companies from forcing American workers to train the very same cheaper foreign laborers who will soon replace them.
Why it matters: Trump promised voters he'd end abuses of worker visa programs and save U.S. jobs — but as he campaigns for re-election, advocates say he hasn't done enough.
Driving the news: AT&T is poised to send thousands into the new year hunting for new jobs after assigning them to train their own foreign replacements, according to conversations with current and former workers and documents obtained by Axios.

• Many have worked for the company for over a decade. They aren't being offered severance or early retirement, and may not easily find a comparable job elsewhere with similar pay.

What they're saying: Sara Blackwell, a Florida-based lawyer who represents Americans displaced by workers on visas or overseas, told Axios: "American workers are tired of waiting for President Trump to do something on this issue."

• "They’ve gone from great hope in President Trump's administration, to great discouragement."
• She sent letters to Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas.), Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson, as AT&T is headquartered in Dallas.
• She also met this month to discuss the problem with White House officials.
• The White House did not respond to a request for comment.

Details: Despite receiving a $3 billion tax cut last year, AT&T announced new and expanded alliances with big outsourcing companies to replace workers with foreign or cheaper domestic talent.

• Like many major U.S. companies, AT&T has been shifting jobs for years now — but 2019 was especially noteworthy, as workers claimed that as many as 3,000 finance jobs were being outsourced to Accenture. AT&T denied the 3,000 figure, but declined to provide Axios with its own number.
• AT&T also signed multi-year deals with IBM, Tech Mahindra and Amdocs this year. Accenture, IBM and Tech Mahindra were in the top 10 companies to request H-1B high-skilled worker visas this year.
• "We are continuously working to be more efficient in our operations," AT&T's Jim Kimberly told Axios. When possible, AT&T is "helping employees find other positions within the company,” he said.

Current and former Department of Homeland Security officials who spoke to Axios expressed frustration that more isn't being done to keep foreign worker visa programs from undercutting U.S. workers.

• Lawmakers have signaled bipartisan support for reforms to high-skilled immigrant visas that could help.
• For years now, the Trump administration has talked about policy changes such as ending work authorization for the spouses of certain H-1B visa holders. But the proposal prompted outrage from tech giants, and it has yet to be finalized.

By the numbers: There are few comprehensive studies and little agreement on the scope of the phenomenon, experts told Axios, because contracts and outsourcing processes are typically kept quiet.

• Blackwell said past contracts she's seen lead her to believe that as many as nine in 10 of those impacted by AT&T's outsourcing may end up training foreign replacements.
• It's a common business model that's been used by other U.S. companies, including Disney, Verizon, Bank of America, Toys 'R' Us and Southern California Edison.

What they're saying: Axios spoke with workers who have already transitioned or will switch in January to working for outsourcing companies.

• Three current or recently-fired AT&T employees broke down in tears during telephone interviews.
• Typically, workers are guaranteed 12 months at the outsourcing company, after which they will likely be let go.
• Only a handful are offered severance or early retirement.
• "Folks aren't going on vacation, they're cutting back on their Christmas shopping," one person said. "If you know that you're going to be losing your job, you don't want to spend the money."

How it works: Workers may be assured their job will not change when they are "rebadged" to work for a contractor. "The sad reality is you’ve just been terminated without your severance," said one worker Axios interviewed. "You’re at the mercy of a company that doesn’t really want you."

• Workers described shock and confusion when they were told during a scripted phone call that after a decade or longer at AT&T, they'd have to work for a contractor or resign. Some were told they could not apply for other jobs inside AT&T.
• Some were told they were needed for a "knowledge transfer" — then tapped to train people on work visas or overseas who would replace them.
• A presentation obtained by Axios outlining the knowledge transfer process for AT&T and Accenture includes a slide on how to interact with Indian workers.

On that subject it’s probably good to note that the tariffs Trump enacted were ineffective and counterproductive just as I predicted.

Fed study finds Trump tariffs backfired

A study by Federal Reserve economists found that President Trump’s initial round of trade tariffs in 2018 backfired on the U.S. manufacturing sector.

Free trade is a good thing.

So they thought the GOP led by Trump would change this. Hehe.

Corporate America has no commitment to America. As soon as our money runs out and we can't buy shit anymore, they're gone.
