Trump cheats at golf - the ONE and ONLY politics thread

Because I'm speaking in general terms. I saw someone hit a home run off Clayton Kershaw one time. How can he be good?

 

Except Clayton Kershaw isn't trying to give up a home run. Republicans, meanwhile, say one thing, and put their efforts towards the opposite.

 

In the least surprising news of the day ... Five California Democrats get big campaign checks from union the same day they voted for a $15 minimum wage.

California politics updates: Democrats get campaign checks after minimum wage votes

 

Of course it's inconsistent and of course they want more laws. Conservative Republicans have for the past 20-plus years employed an incremental approach to legally restricting abortion rights through legislation.

Get out!

 

And meanwhile the Kock Bros/ALEC truckloads of cash continue to flow to the union-busters.

 

Capitalism baby. Nothing personal, just business.

 

A guy who spends massive amounts of time trolling a message board thinks I don't understand how to navigate social interactions? That's funny. But hey, at least he thinks he is a nice guy.

Dickie, I'm exactly who I choose to be here and I have no need whatsoever for empathy. Perhaps you desperately need to be popular here, but please don't project your needs on to me. If you haven't figured that out by now, you are even more clueless than I thought.

 

You mean sympathy.

 

Don't know about this specific case, but fwiw the unions usually aren't big proponents of high minimum wage laws because high minimum wages decrease the need for collective bargaining.
