Ok so thank you for letting us know your thoughts on this and your love for all things Trump is heavily biased on personal opinion and very light on actual facts.

Don't see links to the other stuff you claim happened. re: Dr. Carson etc **nononono*

I do not, repeat NOT understand what it is about the cheeto jesus which turns rational people into giddy seventh-grade cheerleaders.

He radiates nothing of the projections placed on him.  He suggests little in terms of competence; less in terms of knowledge; and frankly...he don't sound too bright.

And he's made boneheaded mistakes.

His track record is of giving cash to liberal pols; his business model is a simple one involving graft payoffs.  And this is the guy we're going to proclaim will save us from Clintonism?

WHERE does that come from.  :shrug:

If you figure it out JPT let me know.  It's a very perplexing thing.
The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years. The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.

Then a "progressive democrat" would protect citizens from unfair competition by illegal immigrants, under open borders,

and a conservative would hold open the borders for open borders ??

Help me understand.

You are conflating two different issues. MW mandates are govt manipulation of business. Control of the borders is a national defense issue. Wages will naturally rise if an individual is willing to do the necessary things to be more valuable. I am all for the USA controlling who is allowed into the country. I am not for the govt of the USA trying to centrally plan the economy.

One of the reasons we have had such a miserable recovery since the last recession is the number of small businesses being created is way down. Govt attempts at central planning is at the root of this problem. MW is just one more element in this central planning.

MW needs to be raised. The MW I earned in 1978 at my first job is about $10.00 today inflation calculator.


The way to increase your MW is to make yourself more valuable to employers.

Period.

Looks like you have been duped by the memes Trump has smeared on Sen. Cruz.  I expected more from our co-leader in this forum,

When the MW was $3.35 per hour I was making 5 to 7 per hour under the table working on the farm.

You are so spot on!

I am an employer. If I have an employee who is on time (10 mins. early), works hard, is constantly learning, has a positive disposition, and stays late if necessary that employee gets a raise pretty quickly and we start looking at this person as a long term part of the company.

Incredible irony, consider "self serving" is almost synonymous with Trump.

Didn't think I would hear stuff like this from you.

So does this mean we can go after Melania for being a skanky whore?

Of course we must follow the Trump model for fair and square unity building.

That requires an explanation. In what way is Heidi what you described above?

I totally agree.  The entire episode warrants one of those WTF? graphics.

Bizarre behavior, IMO.

Ironic.....considering that the comments coming from her early this am were anything BUT "grownup".  More like an over-emotional teenager.

To paraphrase Ted She's out of your class why don't you stick to beating up on Cruz.

Keep it up. By the time Trump supporters get done with Cruz and his wife, here won't be more than a handful of conservative or Tea-Party types left in the Republican Party. 

Why don't you pick on his daughters while you are at it? Once you assassinate their character. will you be ready to attack Hillary?

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

That ain't the way Jeff Epstien told it.
