    Hey, more hidden costs in the thriving economy of low, low prices!

    Thousands of Amazon workers receive food stamps. Now Bernie Sanders wants Amazon to pay up.

    Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) will soon introduce legislation that would require large employers like Amazon, Walmart and McDonald’s to fully cover the cost of food stamps, public housing, Medicaid and other federal assistance received by their employees. The goal, he says, is to force corporations to pay a living wage and curb roughly $150 billion in taxpayer dollars that currently go to funding federal assistance programs for low-wage workers each year.


    Disruptive!

    No evidence?

    How the Trump Organization used false invoices to pay Cohen $420,000 for his efforts to silence women

    Yes, it's always funny how the person who offers to 'dumb something down' for another always seems to be a rather dumb person.

    In the case of McDougal, Cohen pleaded guilty to encouraging American Media, publisher of the supermarket tabloid National Enquirer, to pay McDougal $150,000 to keep quiet. That violated two campaign-finance laws: one that makes it illegal for a corporation to give money directly to a campaign, and another that limits how much any individual can contribute.

    The Daniels case is different. If Trump had paid the money to her directly, that would not necessarily be illegal, if it had been accounted for correctly. A candidate can contribute any amount of money to his own campaign. But all such contributions have to be publicly reported as campaign expenditures, and the Daniels payment, which Trump clearly did not want disclosed, was not reported.


    Did Trump just inadvertently admit to violating federal law?

    I finally feel like the ignominious end of this administration is just a matter of time.

    When you get that many people starting to flip. .... it just can't be good for the target. They don't offer that immunity unless you have something to offer.

    The worst thing ever to happen to the Trump family is that Donald Trump became president of the United States.

    A case of getting what you asked for, not what you wanted.
