Trump cheats at golf - the ONE and ONLY politics thread

Anybody who thinks the Bernie Bros won't, in the main, support HRC in the general is a fucking dunce.

 

You must not be looking in the right places. This is just from the last three days and what I found in 30 seconds of looking. In case you missed it, it's usually right there in the first paragraph, which we call a "lede":

Some restaurants face pressure to trim menus and staffs under California's wage hike

A deal that would raise California's minimum wage to $15 an hour was met with a mixture of joy and anxiety across the state Sunday.

Calif. governor announces plan to raise minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2022

California's plan to raise its minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2022 — higher than any other state in the union — would put the state in uncharted territory, carrying both hope and danger for workers in the nation’s largest economy.

California is on the verge of making itself a guinea pig in a bold economics experiment.

By moving toward a plan to raise the statewide minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2022, the state could raise living standards for millions of workers. But it could also increase unemployment among some of the very same economically marginal workers the wage increase is intended to help.

A few more for your perusal:

California's $15 minimum wage gamble brings risks and potential rewards

Is California's move to a $15 minimum wage a good idea? Here are the facts.

 

In what world does the Secret Service warn somebody to quit touching a candidate but then defers to the campaign manager to physically restrain them? Obviously they didn't think grabbing the reporter was needed.

 

Trump heads to #TrumpWorld tonight:

Trump is going truther on Michelle Fields' bruises.

@BuzzFeedAndrew
"How do you know those bruises weren't there before," @realDonaldTrump on @MichelleFields, says she would have screamed if it hurt.

 

The bitches always scream when Donald belts 'em.

 

Andrea Mitchell doesn't think he's unappealing to voters. She thinks he's an idiot. And she's correct.

 

Fair enough, but I was speaking more about the $15-an-hour proposals of more mature vintage. I'll concede the point.

 

Susan Sarandon: Trump Might Be Better for America Than Hillary Clinton

“I think Bernie would probably encourage people, because he doesn’t have any ego in this thing,” Sarandon told him. “But I think a lot of people are, ‘Sorry, I just can’t bring myself to [vote for Clinton].’”

“How about you personally?” Hayes asked.

“I don’t know. I’m going to see what happens,” Sarandon said.

“Really,” Sarandon said, adding that “some people feel that Donald Trump will bring the revolution immediately if he gets in, things will really explode.”

 

So Trump is the political antichrist.

 

Sarandon will be 70 by Election Day. It's easy for her to say, "just burn the mother down."

Ask President Nader how that worked out last time it was tried.
