They didn't release his name or anything that would identify him, and I don't know if there is a future in making racist memes

@nytimesworld: Top U.S. general in South Korea says self-restraint is only thing keeping U.S. and South Korea from war with North https://t.co/7keafLlIbd

Good thing the current US President is a paragon of self restraint...

Why can't kids today just work their way through college the way earlier generations did?

The answer to that question isn't psychology. It's math. A summer job just doesn't have the purchasing power it used to, especially when you compare it with the cost of college.

Let's take the example of a working-class student at a four-year public university who's getting no help from Mom and Dad. In 1981-'82, the average full cost to attend was $2,870. That's for tuition, fees and room and board.

The maximum Pell Grant award back then for free tuition help from the government was $1,800. That leaves our hypothetical student on the hook for just about $1,000. Add in a little pocket money, too — say $35 a week. That makes an extra $1,820 for the year on top of the $1,000 tuition shortfall.

Now, $3.35 an hour was the minimum wage back then. So, making $2,870 meant working 842 hours. That's 16 hours a week year-round — a decent part-time job. It's also about nine hours a day for three straight months — a full-time, seven-day-a-week summer job. Or, more likely, a combination of both. In short: not impossible. Far from it.

This should be forwarded to the state legislators in Missouri.

Maybe people here will stop voting for these gop clowns once they lower the minimum wage

Sadly that most likely won't happen

0 sympathy for any racist trolls.

World would be a better place if they all lost their anonymity.

Long-lost court documents detailing President Trump’s alleged use of undocumented labor to pave the way for Trump Tower have been found — and could soon be unsealed.

The transcript and court brief were part of a lawsuit filed in 1983 by a union worker alleging that Trump — long before he moved into the White House — exploited undocumented Polish workers who demolished the building where Trump Tower now stands.

The transcript and brief, which detail the terms of a confidential 1998 settlement ending the case before it went to trial, were thought to have been lost.

[h1]Democrats: Did Americans help Russia hack the election?[/h1]

http://www.politico.com/story/2017/07/05/who-helped-russia-hack-us-election-240210

Hillary Clinton, Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe and Mark Warner, the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, have all stoked speculation that American insiders may have helped the Russians orchestrate their wide-ranging hacking and disinformation campaign — including with guidance on which political targets to exploit and what kinds of leaked information would most resonate with swing voters. The Democrats got backup from former FBI Director James Comey, who told lawmakers in June he was sure law enforcement would work to determine “if any Americans were part of helping the Russians.”

America and Russia working together for Dapper Don. EXCELLENT news. Hopefully Barson and DeVos Bae get the same support for their 2020 run.

National Public Radio tweeted out the Declaration of Independence on Tuesday to mark the July Fourth holiday, but not everyone understood what it was doing.

Some supporters of President Donald Trump didn’t recognize one of the nation’s founding documents and accused the broadcaster of inciting violence and even revolution.

Many of those comments have since been deleted and at least one user deleted an entire Twitter account.

But the tweets live on, some still posted online while others have been preserved in screen captures.

That's still so crazy. These people have no idea what anything they get so riled up about stands for. Kaep can't get a job because they're pandering to cocksuckers like this.

This is why I avoid anyone with a US flag on their social media, clothing, cars, etc. I've never encountered someone repping the US flag openly that wasn't also a bigot

Actually, I wouldn't be surprised considering what happened last week with those people they fired. They're probably making sure they have all their facts straight before they drop the story.

It doesn't help that for far too many people, understanding of politics doesn't go beyond the meme level.

And they're the people who will tell you how much of history they know.

Further to @TrueFactsStated report on CNN, my own sources confirm that CNN has transcripts of Kushner and Bannon; WaPo has better evidence

Curious to know how true that is.

hey now, that racist imagery is only being displayed to remember our racist heritage, it's not a reflection of our current racism, that is shown through our racist actions
