How could anyone not hate him? I’m not even talking for political reasons, just human reasons. The man is repugnant. He’s got me using words like repugnant for fuck’s sake. I don’t think I’ve ever used that word in a sentence on my life.

At last count, just over 52 million.

You’re in the grays...

I wouldn’t be so quick to say that. CNN, the very show Van is on, said that nearly 40% of latinos voted for Trump...40%! AFTER HE CALLED THEM RAPISTS. All Van would say about the black vote is that “we’ll have to wait and see the numbers.” I think once the numbers are actually out, this idea that ”only racist…

Van Jones is and always has been a race baiting hack. He was up there almost in tears like a child who just got his toy taken away. No, his muslim friends didn’t call him asking if they should leave the country. It wasn’t a “white-lash” whatever the fuck that is, it was a regular old backlash against a government…

Right but you’re forgetting how much most Republicans actually HATE Trump. Say what you want about the Republicans but they view themselves as legit, professional government officials. They all KNOW Trump is (was) a joke and a dangerous one at that.

I actually agree with you. I’m just saying that I’ve heard that all before. If it makes you feel better, both the Dems and Repubs are gonna spend the next 4 years blocking government out of...spite? Concern for the planet? Yay blocked government...I guess?

You realize that every single thing you just said was what the Right said about Obama, right?

Ah yes, the liberal fallback...just declaring someone “out of their depth” or declaring the discussion over. Shit, might as well call me a racist too while we’re at it.

That seems a bit extreme.

Wrong. Nobody forced me to join. The military pay is available to see, it’s public record. Minimum wage jobs aren’t supposed to pay a living wage. Those jobs are for teenagers and retirees who want to get out of the house. They’re also designed to be temporary. If someone is making minimum wage after X number of…

Where has THAT been all my life?

What about us non-rich white dudes? Can we stick together? I promise I didn’t vote for Trump.

“Former” business owner. You know nothing about me or what I know about hard work. I spent 13 months in Baghdad as a damn line medic with the 101st and made a whole 30k doing it, barely more than a barista. Something tells me that was a bit harder than being a failed business owner.

What are your credentials? What makes those actions valuable because again, they are not skilled positions. Except maybe the baristas drawing Hello Kitty in my foam. That’s kind of a skill I guess.

No, every job in the US shouldn’t pay a livable wage. Period. Some jobs just are not that valuable. Nobody is stopping you from creating a company and paying whatever wages you see fit as long as those wages meet whatever the current minimum is. I know that doesn’t make you feel all warm and fuzzy but that is the…

I’m just saying that liberal types are always very quick to give away other people’s money. You are free to start any sort of company you like and pay your workers as much as you like. There was that one guy in I think Washington, forgive me for forgetting the details, but he upped the minimum salary at his company…

Just stop. Whenever this conversation comes up, morons want to pretend that pouring shitty coffee means you should automatically be paid enough to buy a house, a car and support two children. DURR POURING COFFEE TAKES NO SKILL, EDUCATION, DRIVE OR TALENT BUT THOSE POOR PEOPLE DESERVE THE WORLD. You are free to…

Oh please. Everyone should be high wage? Baristas should be making 100k?

Apparently it’s a Combat Action Badge now. People felt left out that only infantry and medics got the combat badges so they made one for everyone else.
