In an e-mail to Uber employees on Thursday, Kalanick admitted that he was stepping back from the president's strategic and policy forum because the company was being widely perceived as "somehow endorsing the administration’s agenda"—a situation which appears to be bad for business.

- I don't understand the move by Kalanick. Like employees believe Uber is some sort of Liberal savior. It's a free market dream. Pure capitalism.mandomafioso

Donald Trump Calls Out ‘Professional Anarchists’ After Berkeley Riots
President Donald Trump reacted again to the aftermath of the Berkeley riots in response to a scheduled speech by Breitbart News editor Milo Yiannopoulos.
“Professional anarchists, thugs and paid protesters are proving the point of the millions of people who voted to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” Trump wrote on Twitter on Friday.Rioters caused an estimated $100,000 in property damage in Berkeley on Wednesday, and only one person was arrested. Bank windows and ATMs were smashed, a Starbucks was looted, anti-Trump graffiti was painted on store fronts, Molotov cocktails were thrown, and garbage fires were lit in the streets.
On Thursday, Trump responded to the rioting by threatening to cancel federal funding for colleges that failed to protect the right of free speech.
“If U.C. Berkeley does not allow free speech and practices violence on innocent people with a different point of view – NO FEDERAL FUNDS?” Trump wrote on Twitter.
- UC Berkley isn't to blame, here. They didn't try and stop the event.Gnash
- They made a very clear statement about that before the event happenedGnash
- UC Berkeley didn't cancel the event because they support the freedom of speech. I also don't think the students are professional anarchists or that they're paidmonospaced
- the property damage is childish and it shouldn't have happenedmonospaced
- You don't have to be paid to be a professional anarchist.********
- yeah, actually you would, because that's the definition of professional, and Trump tweeted it himselfmonospaced
- It just means you are an expert********
- profession - a paid occupation, especially one that involves prolonged training and a formal qualification.capn_ron
- oh, so now you're calling yourself a professional troll?monospaced
- and those aren't anarchists ... those are students at a major university all looking to become part of the system ... buy a dictionary ffsmonospaced

- so much derp, omg, thanks for making my pointmonospaced
- You have a problem with the students becoming part of the system?********
- HAHAHAHA! omg, you just said you don't have to be paid and then posed that image?capn_ron
- by extension you do not have to be paid to be an expert. #3.********
- mono is the resistance.********
- oh, you're using the alt meaning. got it.capn_ron
- mono the new anti-american establishment********
- omg. When you say mono is the resistance, you're using the alt meaning right? "the ability not to be affected by something, especially adversely."kona
- cause that would be hilarious as you'd be basically saying mono is resisting quite nicely how giant of a douche you're being.kona
- what the hell are you talking about? of course I don't have a problem with students, not like Trump and you domonospaced
- and isn't letting it affect him.kona
- and "expert" only comes as an extension of being a paid professional, by the way, which is what your image states clearlymonospaced
- perhaps you're too stupid too grasp this, or your eduction failed you, or more likely you're just acting like you don't understand because you're a prof. troll.monospaced
- you said the students are not anarchists, because they're looking to become part of the system. So who are the anarchists?********
- The ones breaking, smashing, and burning everything for their political motives.********
- so you're saying a professional cannot work pro-bono?********
- professionals cannot work not for profit?********
- Trump has no problem with any students. He didn't even mention them.********
- you separated the students from the anarchists. So I'm trying to figure out who are the anarchists.********
- the only ones who were paid were the protestors********
- Thugs didn't get paid either.********
- “Professional anarchists, thugs and paid protesters are proving the point of the millions of people who voted to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” Trump wrote********
- But you're making the point that you have to be paid in order to be a professional anarchist.********
- Where's the evidence anyone was paid?yuekit
- I have to ask again omg, does it cause any physical discomfort, being as fucking stupid as you are? or do you just mindlessly float about, blissfully unaware ofBuddhaHat
- how fucking stupid you seem to everybody, every time you say something? That was a lot of effort you put in after your original idiotic statement aboutBuddhaHat
- professional anarchists blew up in your face.BuddhaHat
- So you think you have to be paid to be a professional anarchist too?********
- I finally found a gif of you, omg! http://i.imgur.com/O…BuddhaHat
- you are a riot BuddhaHat********
- Sadly omg, you're not. You're just a horrible, documented and proven, pathetic little troll.BuddhaHat
- omg, there are no anarchists, these are people who just don't like alt-right, bigoted assholes speaking at their school and threw a fit over itmonospaced
- they're just students .. .they pay a lot of money to go to that school and they don't like hate speech ... it's that simple ... anarchists is a Trump liemonospaced
- Hate speech you define as anything you don't like, or violates your social justice issues, feminism ideology and or hurt feelings.********
- you're so wrong it's not even funny anymoremonospaced

Professional Anarchists...LOL!
What are Professional Anarchists?Like professional anarchist are the cause of the shit tha's really happening.
Meanwhile Professional Politicians and Fascist are destroying the World.
But that's not a problem the problem are the rioters.
Fucking priorities.Probably if they weren't being as Fascist as they can there wouldn't be such riots.
Who knows?- People that are paid to protest. It's been well documented.********
- ...and of course agent provocateurs********
- there's payment for it?! nobody ever told me!!! I never got paid for a protest! WTF?!********
- really set? really?kona
- Yes, really.********
- ok. I'm not aware of the documented instances. Link maybe?kona
- The Trump team denied it, but a casting agency paid extras to attend his candidacy announcement. It's been well documented.BuddhaHat

Berkley students after hearing Milo's speeches, "conveniently" put on their masks and hoods started breaking windows, tearing shit down, burning fires at a school that they paid big bucks to attend. They are trained to pick up blockades and use them to break windows. It's not that easy to do on your first try. They understand how to influence others to rage and violence. They are indeed professional anarchists in the mix. The students are seen watching in pure amazement with other students joining in the riot.

- We need a wall to keep omg out...see_thru
- BUILD THE WALLyuekit
- The irony of pretending the alt-right is about freedom, when the entire movement is based around building walls, banning things, tariffs, etc.yuekit
- regardless of their views, freedom is the power to speak or think as one wants without hinderance or restraint. what freedoms are being hindered with a wall?********
- What con will Milo pull next once these alt-right fuckholes eat themselves and stop giving him money?face_melter
- a wall is designed to prevent illegal immigration and criminal activities along the border, which also unfairly tipped the balance of the economy.********
- What wall?monospaced
- It's kinda surprising considering the global makeup of QBN and its values that Milo isn't your symbol that unites the US and abroad.********
- does that level of stupidity hurt you?monospaced
- lol a little.********
- Milo is the biggest troll of all. He's Troll #1. Honestly can't think of anyone who is better at baiting the angry leftists.nb
- Milo is simply the Bill Maher of the right. These left protesters really are an embarrassment in even taking the time to bother protesting against him.inteliboy

Part of me realizes that the anarchists and anti-fascists aren't helping the left with their destruction and punching, but part of me is like, 'hell yeah, fuck those fuckers.' Feels like we're in another era right now. I thought we were past this.

- i want to vomit as she tries to brainwash lonely innocents into victims.********
- i don't think my reaction had any initial "purpose." i took the time to sit through the clip and shared my thoughts uncontrolled.********
- It didn't sound like she was a fair-minded person which lacks the understanding of the president's executive order whose purpose is to protect from terrorism.********
- lol omfgmoldero
- i'm not trying to be unsympathetic. I totally understand the unfortunate issues. I have friends who are worried that they might get stuck in the crossfire.********
- angry? sure they were talking about an unjust event. but psycho?pango
- are you the kind that calls any women a psycho just because she's not submissive?pango
- You guys need to get off this TYT garbage, though. This stuff is not helping. You're ruining your brains with junk television.nb
- i used the term psycho as the expressive overused cliche. no so much in medical terms because i'm not a doctor.********
- but if she was captain of the enterprise, i would say she would be unfit for duty in her present condition.********
- So after watching the entire clip. All you had to say was she's a psycho... over an unjust event that anyone could get angry for...pango
- Wow... and you don't know why people are calling you a troll... doesn't even matter if you are actually a troll or not. O_Opango
