Trump cheats at golf - the ONE and ONLY politics thread

Minimum wage does not equal market wage. It's a fundamental problem with minimum wage; it artificially inflates a wage beyond what the market would or should bear.

 

Yes, these are equivalent.

 

In 2008 and 2012, I certainly didn't go whining to Facebook to grumble about the presidential outcomes. In fact, in 2008, I was proud of Mr. Obama's accomplishment, even if I didn't agree with his political stances.

The Facebook whining is just so self-absorbed.

"I'm scared..."

"I'm fearful for my children..."

"I'm so embarrassed to be an American."

What a soft, sad Greek chorus full of Facebook Hemingways. We all done now? Do we need a week to get all cried out?

If these online poets and philosophers would have just shown up to vote in PA, WI and MI on Tuesday the way they did for Obama in 2008 and 2012, they could sleep at night without all of the angst of worrying about whether their toddler will survive four years of Donald Trump.

Those on the left always want it to be 1968. With Tuesday's election, you just got it.

 

My sister is a middle school teacher. They created a "safe space" for students yesterday. An actual room.

 

Waiting for all of the future TV shows and movies set in 2016 that have the characters reacting and crying to Trump's election like every movie set in 1963 has a scene where the characters react to November 22.

 

Well, I am a little embarrassed. The president-elect is a fool.

 

I can understand the embarrassment -- I didn't vote for him either.

Yet when I see the people on social media whining and dropping the "move to Canada" cliché or "I can't get out of bed", all I can think of are the posts from one of my friends who lost a 6-year-boy to DiPG (children's brain cancer of the cerebellum -- no cure) a few months ago.

THAT is worth crying over.

This is a challenge, perhaps a kick in the teeth. Just overcome it, organize better for 2018 and come up with a true coherent message.

 

Just send 'em a link to Lisa Lisa for the next week.

 

Peaceful transfers of power are funny that way.

 

'Anxious and fearful' students demand day off to cry about Trump

Students are "afraid for their lives."
A quick glance at the news showed Clinton supporters throwing bottles at police in LA and thugs beating up an old man in Chicago for having a Trump sticker on his car. Yeah, but they're afraid for their lives.
Grow the fuck up.
