Palin slams Trump Carrier deal as 'crony capitalism'

[Quixote1818]

Be quiet Sarah! Don't let anyone know that Republicans don't really believe in free market capitalism!


Snip:

But she goes onto to blast the deal as “crony capitalism" and an example of the "hallmark of corruption" and "socialism."

“When government steps in arbitrarily with individual subsidies, favoring one business over others, it sets inconsistent, unfair, illogical precedent,” Palin wrote. “Then, special interests creep in and manipulate markets. Republicans oppose this, remember?”

“Instead, we support competition on a level playing field, remember? Because we know special interest crony capitalism is on big fail.”

Just ahead of Trump’s formal announcement of the deal at the Carrier plant in Indianapolis on Thursday, the Wall Street Journal reported that Carrier would receive $7 million in tax breaks over 10 years in order to keep the 1,100 jobs in Indiana.

1. Even a broken clock...

...is right twice a day.

[Quixote1818]

2. She probably heard some other Republican say this and stole it

The vocabulary and sentence structure does NOT sound like her. Sounds way too coherent and intelligent.

[putitinD]

26. she is just reading it from a script written for her, its only meant to distract us from the recount

[TheBlackAdder]

35. I wonder if she knows that Trump was just using her as a distraction from this other actions.

.


Yes, Sarah... You were played again!

You were never going to be the Head of the Veteran's Administration.

3. So she's not getting the VA job?

[babylonsister]

5. Thank God, I hope not. nt

[HassleCat]

10. First thought to leap into my tiny brain, too.

Sounds like sour grapes. We know Palin is quick with the resentment.

[elehhhhna]

19. Obviously. You know you generally have to pass a drug test to work in healthcare

[bettyellen]

28. Drug tests, parole officers... wow! Who knew presidenting was WORK?

[HipChick]

4. Does she know what those mean?

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

6. No VA job for you

[SaschaHM]

7. I appreciate her for saying this....

because she just tanked her chances at a cabinet post!

[Dustlawyer]

8. Sarah Barracuda!!!

Who knew she could be useful?

[0rganism]

9. lol Trump's VA nominee hatin on the Peotus

do these people even know who their allies are?

[spanone]

11. sounds like sarah didn't get a cabinet position....8(

sarah haz a sad

[Ilsa]

12. I'm glad she called him out on it. nt

[Quixote1818]

13. Her ghost-writer had to throw in a couple of instances of poor grammar so people would think

she wrote this.

[mountain grammy]

18. I'm thinking,

you're right! No way she wrote this.

[Dave Starsky]

29. She posted something else recently that was similarly coherent.

Either she's had access to that Flowers for Algernon surgery, or she's hired someone recently who earned at least a C+ in high school English.

[UTUSN]

14. You *go*, girl!1 n/t

[jalan48]

15. OMG-The drugs are finally working. nt

[nikto]

16. The world is coming to an end, because ...

I somehow, actually agree with Sarah Palin on something.

[neeksgeek]

33. Couldn't have said it better!

[Cha]

17. wth? palin turned on dump? what's in for her?

[Quixote1818]

21. I wonder if she sees an opportunity to look more like a true conservative than him

from the get go and as his popularity falters she puts herself in a position to take the mantle of the real outsider against crony capitalism. With Trump running on how he would drain the swamp then not following through, she can be there to back stab him every time he is fucking up and position herself as the true blue conservative with "morals". Not a bad strategy.

[kerouac2]

20. Serious Question. Would Sarah Palin be a better prez than Trump?

It's like asking if poodle poop would be better to eat than husky poop.

Then again, I'm guessing poodle poop would be a better choice (based on weight).

I'd say yes because I think Trump is out to lunch cognitively. I think he's been relying on his children, and others, for a long time to make his decisions for him. Which is why his current pit crew is so dangerous - because they can manipulate without him realizing, or admitting, it's happening.

[Bucky]

22. Ah, the old "Who's the worst second string Batman villain--The Penguin or Mr Freeze?"

[JI7]

23. i think she would be better only because she actually does have certain beliefs that she would push

for . remember that she was governor .

her positions are wrong and she is an idiot . but i don't think she would purposely use her position to try to personally profit . and she wouldn't personally go after those who don't like her.

she is an idiot for sure but she also isn't immature the way trump is. she isn't going to do the "he was mean to me first" thing.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

34. So awful to consider, but yes I think Palin would be a better President than Trump

I actually think she is more likable, less divisive, more honest, more respectable, more reasonable, and more reliable in comparison to Trump. I don't like most of her positions on issues, but I still like her better than Trump. Palin would still not be my choice for president, but I think she would do less harm than Trump.

[jfern]

24. Palin might be a nutcase, but she's actually not as crazy as you would think

She got a lot of shit for upping the oil severance fee to 25% in Alaska. Compare to California, which has 0%, and in 2006 the voters voted down a modest 1.5-6% tax.

[Achilleaze]

25. Memo to Comrade Casino (R) & Republican Cronies

Are you going to let her talk to you like that? If you were "Real Men (R)" (tm) you would immediately respond by saying something low, stupid, mean, sexist and totally factually wrong.

Sincerely, A Well-Meaning Entity

[deminks]

27. Awwwww, Trumpsy didant give her the job she wanted, no deserved, no earned, no was entitled to, no..

[Puha Ekapi_2]

30. Might be....

...the first intelligent statement she's ever made. No cabinet position for you, Sarah!

[spanone]

31. my dog has more brain efficiency than palin

[HAB911]

32. Lots of "conservatives" are getting indigestion

[zonkers]

36. SP jumping ship? What does she know? This could be pretty big. No?

[Greybnk48]

37. I think she meant "fascism" not "socialism."

Fucking exhausting.
