I kind of wonder how much of it is due to the Huawei situation as well.
Probably none. Foxconn has done this several times already to different governments (here in the states and at least once in Brazil). Their playbook is to butter up the pols with big promises to get a tax break. The actual plan is usually way more modest and once they get the tax break they execute the original plan. It is a bait and switch.
The theory I've seen is that they really wanted to set up a tech R&D hub outside California since wages are high there. Foxconn likely posited that Wisconsin wouldn't give them tax breaks to bring the estimated 500-1000 R&D jobs versus 13K factory jobs. So they made up the factory story to get the break codified then say...take the 1000 jobs or you get nothing.
The evidence for this? The fact that they've pulled this routine before. In fact, people predicted this outcome when Trump announced it. The Foxconn explanation for the change is that after further analysis they concluded they couldn't be competitive building LCDs in the US. That doesn't hold any water. What changed? Absolutely nothing. Some modest wage increases. One of the CNBC analysts this morning was laying into Walker and Trump for falling for this garbage again.

They aren’t copying trump. Those are ear coverings to keep in the Ceti eels. Or perhaps they are just new patented MyEarPillows from MyPillow? Helps when you need to take a quick nap when the teamsters union president is speaking about workers rights.
I can only hope someone serves the special kool-aid at the convention.

I know we're supposed to be posting pictures, but the thing that is so fuct up about all this to me is that they're clearly trying to show some sympathy in their own absurd way. Which means they're capable of understanding concepts like sympathy but somehow completely unable to feel it when a school full of children are shot with an AR-15.
They're sympathetic to their own friends and family. People they know and care about and in their immediate circle. They just don't give a damn about strangers.

Once again, a goddamn cult.
I don't think it's sympathy. It's just the latest team uniform accessory.

So much this. But also, I don't think it's sympathy as much as it is solidarity. Also, sympathy for what...his earlobe? The one place on your body where you feel no pain?! LOL

Antifa brainwashed a nutcase kid had him build up a reputation as a conservative and took access to weapons he shouldn't have gotten by taking advantage of the poor NRA attempts to make things right, all to empower nazis in Ukraine working with Biden.

"Again"? Always. It's always there, if not in your face, just under the surface.
I almost wish there were a deep state. A competent resistance that could do half the things they think it could do would be so much more effective than the Democrats on their best day.
And that's not just a bad angle. Gaetz looks transformed in every picture, and even looks different from earlier in the week.
That's how botox works. You get the shots, and then it takes a few days to settle in, and then Boom you get weirdface for a while until it softens a bit.
How vain must you be to do that to yourself at age 42?
Second, holy shit that woman's mouth... She looks like a muppet. It's seriously freaky.
She also developed an accent. I'd say Southeast surgical with a botox dialect.
