“From my experience”

Next thing you’ll be tell me is “white guy from flyover country thinks border wall isn’t such a bad idea.”

Then you are not as liberal as they come. You’re not that liberal at all, actually.

BREAKING: Management thinks spending money on labour is bad

the idea of an individual negotiating effectively on their behalf, in a job where there is little leverage (lets say working at a super market, or a manual laborer at a construction site) is non existent. You could say “Well then become more valuable so you have some leverage” but the issue is we have people doing…

Yes, that’s about as liberal as they come. And that’s the kind of thing that makes the left really not too fond of liberals. Kindly and promptly fuck all of the way off.

National Right to Get Fucked Law

The other huge motivation for “Right to Work” legislation(other than slashing wages to help big business) is cutting off a major source of Democratic Party donations—union dues.

He fixed all this with one single tweet, he’s so tremendously efficient !

Paul Ryan is such a spineless weasel. I can’t believe that people like him and Mitch McConnell are supposed to be keeping Donald in check.

If we learned anything from the first week of President Trump, is that his administration is just complete improvisation.

And the rest of the Republicans are doing everything they can to shield him.

This is the problem right now, and why Trump is winning this war for the actual power in America: people are still dealing with him in civil and normal terms, as if both sides of this fight were operating inside the same boundaries of democracy and public accountability. As this Senator is doing, expecting that such a…

I’m a Proud Southern Conservative White Guy(TM), but f*ck stereotypes all around. I just wrote my Congresspeople (all Republicans) urging them to stall Trump as much as possible, if not outright oppose him. If you want to reform immigration, great! But if you want to be an authoritarian asshole to everyone as part of…

These type comments are the same problem Trump has. People listen to someone else’s opinion on the “news” and repeat the talking point without actually coming up with their own opinion.

For now. The executive order talks about giving preference to Christians when/if immigration from the banned countries is reinstated, thus paving the way for future more sweeping, more openly religion specific bans. Unconstitutional, of course, but its not like that matters anymore.

And yet, if the bottom line is hurt by bad publicity, suddenly some morality will be found. The default state of capitalism may be amoral but it’s far from being immovable.

Apparently, Trump’s team drafted the executive order without any consultations with the Department of Justice and other federal departments directly effected by it. They don’t even know who wrote it. Everyone from top ranking officials to customs agents at airports were freaking out because they had no notice of this…

Not surprising taxi workers are protesting this, I imagine they have lots of representation from the list of countries on the EO. Good on them.

If I squint hard enough I can almost see the justification for this...then I remember none of the countries that the 9/11 hijackers were from are part of the ban. And Dear…

no one in their right mind would ever fuck them?
