The Well-Mannered Politics Thread

[K-Dog]

About a month after this happened, a media outlet reached out to the Trump campaign and they said she doesn't work for any company owned by him. So there's that.

And?
This didn't happen?
They could not come to terms?
She received a better offer elsewhere?
She called in sick on her first day ?
There are multiple possibilities.
Fact. She is black.
Fact. She received some sort of job offer.
I don't think racist do those sorts of things.

special deductions for LLCs too (which most trump businesses are) and specific tax breaks for married couples with earnings over $11 mill

Lmao they may as well have just written "Ivanka and Jared."

 

[RavensMania]

Of course. You're a BLM supporter. You just have a blind hatred against him and want to believe that.

I’m conservative and don’t like him one bit. I’m not liberal is what I’m saying.

 

[Inqui]

what's worse is that this one directly impacts trump too - it makes him and his heirs better off too and i dont see how a conflict of interest like that is legal...

What does it tell you that the Chinese and the Saudis were the first ones to figure out how to grease the wheels of diplomacy with this administration.

 

[rossihunter2]

She called in sick on her first day ?

not sure how that would be a justifiable reason for her not to still work there if she initially had the job...

the us attitude to sick leave and holiday is crazy and unhealthy

 

[K-Dog]

This is completely out of whack, I must say. To even think that there should be a line between " I don't like blacks" and " I want to kill all blacks" is crazy wrong.
The line should be under the first part. Anything over that line, including " I don't like blacks", is sick.

Okay fine.
I don't like dogs.
I don't like tall people.
I don't like christians.
I don't democrsts.
I don't like desiel motors.
I don't like creamy peanut butter.

Where do we draw the line ? Who draws it?

none of those are threats or hateful - they bare no resemblance to any of the scenarios we are referring to

One of many possibilities.

i was more just surprised that would be a possibility at all

Not according to allblackravens

what i find hilarious is that the chinese told trump he was getting a "state visit plus" but obama only got a "state visit" - tells me they knew how to play him instantly and you know what? he fell for it instantly and bragged about it despite the fact that their visits were almost certainly identical

Maryland as an example is a work at will state. You can be terminated with or without reason.

how? the only one of those statements that is problematic is the 'i dont like christians' one - that's the only one that would even remotely be potentially hate speech by definition

it just seems weird that sick leave is not an accepted part of a job

 

[The Raven]

Yup. It's funny. Polling data shows 72 percent of Marylanders support it but our dumbass governor Hogan vetoed it. What a great guy! Loves working families! Does so much for the middle class!

My point is, that is your opinion.
Many will agree with you many won't.

It is an incentive. A bargaining chip.

 

[The Raven]

It is an incentive. A bargaining chip.

People's health shouldn't be a bargaining chip.

No, it absolutely shouldn’t be.
