What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.” What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.” Funny how that works.

By taking prisoners, the US Navy has admitted that these Argentine boats could have been boarded and the "narco terrorists" could easily have been captured alive at far less than the cost of a single missile. But the US Navy stood by as civilians were extrajudicially executed. Trump WANTS TO KILL

I have this sense of confusion, anger, sadness and a feeling that something horrendous is coming. I felt this way in the days before 9/11. That time, foreign terrorists targeted us, but this time I'm wondering if it will be orchestrated by our own government to justify martial law

How long will it be before John Bolton suffers from #BarrEpstein syndrome and "commits suicide". Hopefully he won't catch #RussianDropsy and "accidentally" fall out a window or "fall down a flight of stairs" like Ivana Trump Maybe Trump will send him some special Russian tea.

Commentary: L.A. never needed the Olympics. With Trump wanting in, it's time to pull out
With the Games happening in a presidential election year, Trump would love nothing more than to traipse around an L.A. radically transformed by his deportation aggressions to proclaim his mission accomplished and broadcast his conquest to the world.

You would think that if someone was accused of being a pedophile they would release everything quickly to demonstrate their innocence and clear their name. You would think. Unless they really are guilty.
