Let me take a wild guess that had Hillary Clinton won Tim Cook wouldn't have wrote this letter. I didn't vote for Donald Trump but the country has survived much worse than him. On the other hand if California ever decided to secede I'm not sure the rest of the country would really care. California really is nothing like the rest of the country. If Democrats are to take power again it's not going to come from San Francisco.

I would love California to secede. Then their transplants would stop infecting the rest of the country with their horrific progressive politics and we could laugh as Governor Moonbeam collapsed the little country on itself. 

It is richer states like New York (at least the city) and states like California which support the flyover states of America. Most of Trump supporters are poor, on or below poverty level and have educations at or below high school level. They apparently are unskilled labor since they are mostly unemployed outside of minimum wage service jobs. They are not traveled or exposed to ideas, people and places outside of a 50 mile radius. They are fearful, think guns will protect them from some unseen invading army so they stock up on them instead of putting that money towards their child's education. They are not good at seeing beyond their horizons, as when the companies they worked for started cutting workers job it never dawned on them that that employer was closing soon and it was time to get training in another field. They are apparently too proud to take advantage of taxpayer funded government training programs, or just too lazy. They blame illegal Mexicans for all the problems they brought upon themselves because looking in a mirror and seeing what they made of their lives amounts to nothing. The ones that are too unhealthy to join the armed forces go on public assistance and think nothing of it like they ever contributed anything to the tax base in their lives. They denies statistics which prove that more caucasian  people are on welfare in this country than any other group. It also never dawned on them that the world is an ever changing place, technology changes not just how you shop and communicate with other but will put an end to out dated industries. As a teenager I recognized that my once industrial home town was a dead end and I decided I was leaving by the time I turned 18 to get an eduction (whiich I paid for myself).  Trump supporter need only blame themselves for being to short-sighted and believing time stands still, in reality there is no going back. The Trump supporters posting here should know this as well unless you are all still using Bondi blue iMacs.

iPhone sales beat expectations. Stock is up 5% after hours. Once again proving Wall Street cares about one thing and one thing only, how many iPhones Apple sold.

Wall St. doesn't care about Apple, never mind iPhone sales. WS cares only about money. Given how barely estimates were beaten by its safe to say estimates were met—therefore stock should in fact not rise or fall, but WS doesn't care for that. 8,000,000 made homeless after crash of 2008. WS cares about one thing. Many should have been jailed for what they did. But WS are so heavily involved with your government that's not going to happen. WS is one of the evils of the world. If someone granted me 5 wishes: world peace, enough food for each person and I'd consider Apple is now a private company as my third wish.

As a New Yorker for 35 years all I can say is you fools that voted for him have no clue to what he is all about. This is what he values in order, Trump, pussy, Trump, money, more money, applause, being noticed, pussy and even more money. Charity, public service are not on this list. Fools. 

I'm a New Yorker too, and Trump easily got my vote. 

I like money too, and I'm about to go and grab a female by the pussy, and they'll like it too! Hell Yeah!

What a bunch of liberal hypocrites. Oh no! He once said the word pussy! How horrible!

He's a straight male who likes women! How disgusting!

GTFO!

It's about fricking time!

Based on what? Bullshit statistics made up by politicians?


This is the problem with government, they always will create a crisis to give themselves more power, and enslave the people bit by bit.  And the gullible, like you will cheer your own enslavement.

I have no problem at all with the fact that you increase the risk of killing/maiming yourself. Zero. I do have a whole lot of problems, however, with the increase in the risk that you'll end up killing/maiming others. Imposing an externality like that would be pretty scummy on your -- anybody's -- part, no?

Btw, I assume you think that vaccinations, public health investments to prevent disease transmission and contagion, sex education... no, heck, education in civics, requiring smoke detectors, requiring airbags, requiring people to follow traffic signs and drive on the right (if in the US), steps to prevent riots/public disorder/crime, having a judicial system -- to name just a few (I could go on all day) -- are also "bullshit" meant to "enslave" us?
