While at the same time, she is criticizing Trump saying that he is redefining what it means to be poor to fit his narrative. ? The whole wealth inequality continues to piss me off. The reason for the rising inequality is that there are a lot more wealthy people at the top than there were in the robber baron days. The true comparison should be is how do the people at the bottom fare, and in that case it's laughable to compare the different eras. 4

3rdnlng Posted July 12, 2019 Posted July 12, 2019 We have made so many advancements over the years that the standards are not even comparable. A dozen years ago my 40" flat screen tv cost about $1500. Now a much improved version of that tv would be not much over $200. Today, even the poor can have something that didn't really exist, even for the wealthy 20 years ago. How many illegals crossing the border have a cellphone? The standards have changed so drastically that a poor person today might have been considered wealthy 50 years ago. 6 minutes ago, Deranged Rhino said: She can't give a straight answer... which makes her the media's choice to be savior.

The vast, vast, vast majority of the people in this country either work for the government sector machine, or they work in small businesses like local restaurants, print shops, car repair, etc. This is not the 1950's. If these Congressional folks want to fix the gap...go ahead and open a small business and pay your people whatever you want to! Go ahead. Be part of the solution!
Tiberius Posted July 12, 2019 Posted July 12, 2019 Well, this will be interesting. Actung, actung!! Have your papers ready! Trump says ICE raids to start Sunday, emphasizing purge of criminal immigrants The president again telegraphed planned enforcement raids, saying government agents are going after “bad players.”

And I'm not a lawyer and didn't even stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night so can someone explain to me how crossing the border from one country to the other can even be considered a civil and not criminal matter? And if I hear one more person say "babies in cages" I'm gonna ***** flip! 1

It is so different than when I was a kid. Back then "US" was the correct car answer (and all that was needed), a birth certificate was all you needed when walking. ?♀️ We live in different times. 1

Hedge Posted July 12, 2019 Posted July 12, 2019 9th Circuit (!) rules in favor of Trump admin in 'sanctuary city' case Quote The ruling, a split 2-1 decision, said the Department of Justice (DOJ) was within its rights to withhold Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) grants from sanctuary cities and states over their refusal to work with federal immigration enforcement authorities and instead prioritize agencies that focused on unauthorized immigration and agreed to give Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) access to jail records and immigrants in custody. 3 1

That's BIG money. HUGE money. And that's what these congresscritters are trying to protect. They're not trying to protect children, they're trying to profit off them -- financially and politically. Think about that whenever you see an ####### like this congressman moralizing and virtue signaling. (Completely separate and unrelated -- there's a WEIRD cut at 2:10 of the video. Watch the person behind Jordan... clear edit in the "live" footage.) Edited July 13, 2019 by Deranged Rhino 2 1
