Trump: the first president to take a personal hand in prosecuting his enemies; doesnโ€™t care about due process or rule of law. History notes one of the reasons why the American colonies became the U.S was because King George III arbitrarily prosecuting those who disagreed with him.

Donald Trump's piggish, savage behavior hits new low From insults to death threats and princely thugs, the president is out of control

Until this week Iโ€™d never seen a president call one female reporter a โ€œpiggy,โ€ tell another sheโ€™s insubordinate and appear to threaten members of Congress with execution.
Any 1 of those are unprecedented occurrences. We got 3 of them in one week courtesy of Donald Trump

Trump does Epstein U-turn as House Republicans prepare to spurn him Before the reversal, even some House GOP leaders were mulling whether to support the effort to release DOJ files dealing with the late sex offender.

Puff Donny figured out that even if the House passes the bill to open up the Epstein Files, it still has to go to the senate where it may never see the light of day. If by chance the senate passes the bill, it still has to go to President "No Auto Pen".

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.

As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.
