    You accuse but cannot prove. Your opinion is NOT a fact.

    There's nothing illegal going on here. And honestly, with the mainstream media's constant slant against Trump, I don't blame his supporters for using their own tactics to counter that bias.
    No they don't get companies to pay off employees and cheat other employees.

    Pretty much every corporate company update is kind of like a prep rally. It's mostly bull$#@!, but at least it keeps you informed of what the bigwigs are doing.
    I've attended such company events, so I know that stuff well. What we're talking about though in NOT one of those. We're talking about a company pandering to Trump so that he can have a room full of union people for the states like Mich and Ohio and PA. It was propaganda and other employees got cheated. I posted an article that tells that whole story: don;t know where I put it though... somewhere in this thread.

    If you work for a given company, you may have to deal with the political slant of the management. There's nothing new or illegal about that.

    If it bothers someone badly enough, they can always work for someone else.

    You run with your assumptions, I'll stick with the Shell spokesperson.

    Yep, that's because you're a company man and will swallow any pill they give you. Never mind reality.

    How did Shell cheat anyone? Some might not approve of what they did, but they didn’t cheat anyone.

    Nobody was cheated, they had a choice. If skipped the training session and took the PTO they cheated themselves.
