The [Current Year] General Political/Salma Hayek discussion thread, part 4!!!

If $15 isn't enough they should raise it to $12.

Tim makes some good points about minimum wage across the entire country, and about "it's not what you earn, but what you can do with the money".

I've grown tired of Tim. Every time he says "It's complicated" (almost every video), it really means "to more clearly explain this requires a more conservative/libertarian viewpoint and I won't go there".

How would you rate Dan Rather vs Trump on the scale of veracity?

Well, there weren't opposition-leaning "fact check" teams questioning everything Rather said, so we'll never really know.

If it had anything to do with documents and their veracity or his own bravery and heroism, I'd rate Rather far below Trump

Waiting for the story any day now about how two Proud Boys attacked him in an elevator; demanding to know the password

 

[BugI02]

Well, now $15/hour minimum wage isn't enough.

Pandermonium

 

[eldirector]

Y'all know why the State and Federal governments actually want higher minimum wages, right? Additional payroll taxes and and additional SSI withholding. More "income".

Impacts on the economy and citizens is not really even part of the equation. Other than buying votes.

I thought it was because, like pigs, their appetite doesn't have an off switch and they'll keep eating until either the food runs out or they die from indigestion

No one is watching the "you know what?"

 

[ArcadiaGP]

I'm reading that it isn't going well for Mueller at all... and not going the way Democrats were hoping it would.

 

[T.Lex]

The investigation is over; the report is filed.

I'm not even sure what the hearing is supposed to be about, other than theater. Wake me if it leads to articles of impeachment.

But, it beats having them try to legislate more stuff.

 

[ArcadiaGP]

There is absolutely one source for this story... an FBI agent that allegedly investigated Clinton Foundation "suicided"

Not linking the story, because it seems like bull**** made up from a single right-wing site.

The Democrats are still trying to milk a dead cow.

Just proves how political this thing was from the get go.

No, I don't see it that way at all. This hearing isn't for neither the Anti-Trumpers, nor the Pro-Trumpers. This is for the fence sitters. They are waging a battle for the undecideds. Depending on who ultimately is the more believable (D's or R's), it should be a good thing for whichever side. And partisans aren't the ones who would know who wins and who loses, so this entire forum wouldn't have a clue. lol

That's a mighty broad brush!

This just illustrates my point that it’s all political and the Democrats are pushing it.

Either way it goes Mr. Mueller doesn't come out of this well. The committee is going to persecute him if he doesn't tell them what they want to here. I think if I were him I would choose my words very carefully and have a battery of $1K/hour lawyers handy.

He has Aaron Zebley at his side- best known for representing Hillary Clinton's IT guy (the one who destroyed phones and used BleachBit on her computer).

Some politicians have a lot invested in this Russia business, they won't be happy if they at least can't get a small amount of scalp out of it. Maybe his idea is to toss them some sort of bone so they don't come after him later.
