“Show Up, Listen To Trump, Or Don’t Get Paid”. Those who didn’t go to Trump’s Pa. speech/photo op lost $700 each. Why? They skipped a so-called ‘training day’. The ‘training’? Quoting King Cheet-o:
“I’m going to speak to some of your union leaders to say, ‘I hope you’re going to support Trump.’ OK?” he said. “And if they don’t, vote them the hell out of office because they’re not doing their job.”
Biden: “There’s An Awful Lot Of Really Good Republicans Out There”. And, according to Biden, he’s the guy to deal with them. Uh, Joe, how about campaigning for Democrats for a change?
Ghislaine Maxwell’s Exceedingly Strange Family. Forget a mini-series. This could run forever.
Why Portland? Among other reasons, you have a police force that sympathizes with the radical right. BTW, only Trump would choose the occasion of a far-right rally to announce that he’s considering naming Antifa a terrorist organization. Does Antifa even have 50 members?
Why Delaware Lags On Gun Control. Pretty much everything you already know. Including Carney’s mealy-mouthed explanations as to why he’s not doing a bleeping thing. It’s time to primary and/or defeat people like McBride, Poore, Cloutier (done), and Delcollo. Oh, and Carney. He’s so pathetic it’s almost inhumane to point out what a pathetic governor he’s been.
What do you want to talk about?

My Union Hall has sent at least 130 Guys out to Pittsburgh to work on Shell’s Ethane Checker Plant!!! I’m not a Trump Supporter but every Boilermaker I know had nothing but praise for this Event. And I can’t understand why it’s hard to figure out if you don’t clock in you will not get PAID Bectal is the LARGEST Construction Company in World/ Shell is 1 of the LARGEST International Energy Company. They tried to keep this Event non- political but in my opinion this negative coverage is completely off base
Yeah, nothing like being paid to be a prop at a Trump rally. Shouldn’t Trump be footing the bill for that? Oh, that’s right, he skips out on every bill he’s supposed to pay.
It gets better –

A company that provides paid extras for a campaign rally is making a campaign contribution out of the corporate treasury. And that could be a campaign finance violation.
Where’s the FEC on this?

The same FEC whose R majority blocks an investigation into Russian campaign contributions to Trump.
And from DE Politics also on facebook the right wing talking economic boycott strategy –

Kinda off topic, but given the nastiness of liberals and their tactics of using doxxing and economic harassment, I feel like a good resource would be a board for Patriots and liberty-minded people to post jobs, skillshare, and gig opportunities for like minded folk.What do y’all think? I think it’s long since time we started voting with our dollars and creating better in-person networks. Facebook amd the media are the enemy, after all.
I don’t support companies that engage in anti-gun policy and I won’t go to New Jersey or Maryland for similar reasons. Voting with your dollar is simple and effective form of political activism when more people participate, same with jury nullification.
I refuse to put food on my enemy’s table.
