@Raiders22 Not to jump in as this is not my topic but I wanted to comment on what you said. I dont think ANY mobster is deterred by the concept of someone not wanting to get involved with the mob or that they are too big and powerful and formidable, the mob as I have seen it does not think anyone is bigger or smarter or above them. I took what he said as the mob did not want to take RISK with regard to FBI arrests or that information might be circulated and cause RISK to their operations. I dont think the mob thought Trump was too big or powerful or beyond reproach, we have seen over and over that the mob got to any and all in society including politicians, athletes, industry leaders so I didnt take his comment as anything about Trump and his virtues, rather that they avoid RISK and the largest risk the mob always feared was prosecution. So the fact Trump had government lackeys working for him was the deterrent and that alone.
Yes. Makes sense.

Labor unions help to improve wages, working conditions, benefits, workplace safety and quality of employees. With less income inequality, middle class grows larger and employers become more cost efficient.

Was there supposed to be a coherent point in this? Just because there is a minimum wage does not mean everyone makes that wage. Are you wanting to unionize fast-food workers, thinking that will make their schools update their wall coloring scheme or buy more modern desks?
There are plenty of new schools in SC and I imagine they are not putting in 1970s furnishings in them.
I also imagine the folks making ‘39g’s’ there are able to afford to live there. What happens in a state that costs more to live in? Don’t folks simply have to make more to afford to maintain their lifestyle?
My point with the minimum wages is regardless of what percentage actually work for 7.25 the amount is embarrassing! Having set Minimum wage of 7.25 to me = If we could pay you less, we would.
The gust of the problem is wages have stagnated for 90% of the workers for more than 30 year and costs and inflation have not.What is needed is better monetary controls to prevent the government and bankers from devaluing the currency through inflation…….And ahead of time, I haven’t the brains to solve inflation so please don’t….Thanx
Yes I have no problem with any group on workers organizing
Private and parochial schools are definitely more up to date than public schools from what I’ve seen in South Carolina ! It’s my belief that this is one of the consequences of extremely low property tax’s
Teachers and law enforcement are jobs that require have standard on education that should command a wage a marginal better 39.000 but them maybe this wage my be normal where you live?

Trump demands immunity to do “infinite crimes”
"A PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES MUST HAVE FULL IMMUNITY, WITHOUT WHICH IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR HIM/HER TO PROPERLY FUNCTION. EVEN EVENTS THAT “CROSS THE LINE” MUST FALL UNDER TOTAL IMMUNITY "
"Despite the fact that I was there, on time and on schedule, it was just learned that one of the jurors is, unfortunately, not feeling well, and for that reason, today’s session of the trial, having to do with a woman I know absolutely nothing about, has therefore been cancelled with a new date to be determined," Trump said in one of about three dozen posts regarding Carroll on his social media platform Truth Social on Monday morning.

Even republicans push back against Trump crazy claim of total immunity. No one should be above the law. Especially for a mad man obsessed with retribution. US constitution intend checks and balances to protect against abuses of power. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

His attorney advanced bizarre and absurd instances withwhich nobody in their right frame of mind should agree with since nobody is above the law. Trump could deliberately break the law and enrich himself using the presidency to do it to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars for example, and according to HIM and his attorney it's all good!

In a post on Truth Social on Saturday, Trump shared a photo of half of his face spliced with the King of Rock and Roll's face.
Trump wrote: "For so many years, people have been saying that Elvis and I look alike. Now this pic has been going all over the place. What do you think?"
It is unclear what inspired the post, but the former President has often likened himself to prominent historical figures, including Nelson Mandela, Abraham Lincoln, and even Leonardo da Vinci's famous Mona Lisa painting.

Donald the Rapist tonight in Harrisburg, PA..." If I wasn’t here I’d be having a nice Saturday afternoon." So old man facing 91 indictments doesn't know what day it is??? Someone needs to tell him it's Friday. BTW...his makeup tonight is one shade away from celebrating black history month in the most predictable way.
Had a good laugh at these buddy, mahalo!

ABC news reveal that if Trump is re-elected, he would let Russia attack NATO despite Europe's importance to US national security. He thinks allies aren't paying their fair share. Actually, there are no delinquency in funding NATO operations and allies have been working toward target expenditures on defense since 2014 agreement. Allies fear that if Putin wins in Ukraine, there is no guarantee that Russian aggression won't spread to other countries. Key difference is that NATO is weaker under Trump and stronger under Biden.

What is shocking is that MAGA republicans favor Trump's disdain for US allies and support for enemies. They also support coup attempt, theft of classified documents, serial obstruction of justice, efforts to make Trump above the law, plans to jail opponents, ending democracy, promotion of racism or xenophobia and corruption on an unprecedented scale. Clearly, MAGA republicans are traitors threatening the US.

Loser Donald Trump claims he watched someone shoplift a refrigerator the other day, takes credit for killing the border bill that Moses Mike said had nothing to do with Trump, boasts that he did nothing to prevent!
