Do you really think Trump wouldn't have killed the paris accords if he knew that welfare queen was leaving a toothless and symbolic council?

It really looks like a list of people that one would want to separate themselves from. I'm kind of impressed.

Draw them in then make them self deport.

I really wanted to help, but I didn't. I'm gone.

Ever think that they are leaving because Trump isn't being the lobbyist controlled shill they grown accustomed to from our government?

Like I've said before, a lot of them joined just so they could leave later and create buzz for themselves and their companies.

That doesn't make any sense. Look at the fricking leaders and companies you're talking about. They joined because they didn't have anything to lose by doing so. They're leaving because they have shite to lose by staying.

the dam broke.

staying now only signals tacit support.

waiting too long earns you bad press for lagging

look for more to exit soon

unless they have govt contracts at stake (looking at you dell)

Why do you want these companies to leave this irrelevant group? How does it affect your life to even give a single frick about this? People on the left have legit lost their minds. It's not even a joke anymore at this point. It's pretty embarrassing.

How many of those firms manufacture their goods in America, anyway? Looking at that list...not many.

Intel just spent like 6 bill opening a new spot in Israel.

Intel still has a pretty large facility in my town and I think Tesla is made in CA. Don't know about Merck, UA, or Disney and I don't think Uber manufactures anything.

Because Donald Trump put so much import on their membership.

They are leaving because what, exactly? Trump's response to Charlottesville not being tough enough for their tender sensibilities?

Liberals are the biggest fricking pussies on earth.

He must be talking about liberals. If he's not, he's going to die of an irony overdose.
