Donald Trump Has Never Cared About Workers, and Never Will

maturin1919 comments on Jan 20, 2019:

It is known. Are people just finding out this stuff?

HippieChick58 replies on Jan 20, 2019:

@maturin1919 I never liked him even as a Reality TV show. (That is an oxymoron if I ever heard one.) I never cared what anyone else thought. But everything bad about him has now been magnified so much, he is much cruder, crasser, more obnoxious than ever. The fact that so many people are so fawning over him, just blows my mind. I really think it is time to drink the koolaid for his followers, I don't think they can be rehabilitated. I am aghast at the hate and ignorance that I am seeing from his followers. I don't believe this can be healed or educated out.

Detritus comments on Jan 20, 2019:

Just thought of another example. I have no evidence for and lots of evidence against faster than light travel (so I am basically atheistic on FTL). But I do not know that it really is impossible (agnostic). And, like any rational being, I am open to such evidence should it appear. The concept of god...

HippieChick58 replies on Jan 20, 2019:

I think people are just finally admitting it to themselves. It is such an extreme case of narcissism it is hard to gauge the depth of, and denial runs deep in the heartland.

HippieChick58 comments on Jan 19, 2019:

Dagobert is a name associated with kings. Dagobert 1 ruled Austria from 623 to 634. Dagobert 2 ruled from 676 to 679. The name means Day Bright. In Swedish, the cartoon character Dagwood Bumstead is named "Dagobert Krikelin" Sorry, my trivia fascination was triggered.

As I said in another thread about empathy, going in a Walmart makes me feel like I am visiting someone in prison. This news only confirms that. The employees don't want to be there and neither do most of the customers, who are too poor to shop anywhere else. Both the employees and customers have ...

I made a comment in a HyVee about not wanting to use a self check line because it was taking away someone's job. What I didn't notice was the manager on the floor right next to me. He assured me it was only for peak times to get customers in and out more quickly. Yeah right buddy.

It surprises me the numbers of blacks that support Drumpf. I knew one of my former coworkers was a "good xian lady" she is black. She's the nicest person I ever worked with. I friended her on FB after I left the company. She's married to a white dude, they are devout Drumpf supporters, conservative xians. I was blown away by the stuff that she posted on FB, and she and her spouse were not too thrilled with things they were seeing that I posted. I felt like I needed a shower after seeing some of her stuff. I unfollowed her, probably should unfriend, it just changed everything.

I have a super center that is about a mile away. It is open 24/7. I used to work 12 hour night shifts. There are some weird folks in there at night, and it isn't always customers. I stopped using WM maybe 4 or 5 years ago when their lousy practices started coming to light.

Elganned comments on Dec 31, 2018:

Can anyone explain to me what the "Gay Agenda" is? I've asked all the Christians I know, but nobody's been able to articulate it.

HippieChick58 replies on Jan 16, 2019:

Don't you know? The gays want to make all of us gay! We're going to be one big happy gay family. Like it is contagious or something. There is no Gay Agenda. From Wikipedia: Homosexual agenda (or gay agenda) is a term introduced by sectors of the Christian religious right (primarily in the United States) as a disparaging way to describe the advocacy of cultural acceptance and normalization of non-heterosexual orientations and relationships. The term refers to efforts to change government policies and laws on LGBT rights-related issues. Additionally, it has been used by social conservatives and others to describe alleged goals of LGBT rights activists, such as recruiting heterosexuals into what they term a "homosexual lifestyle".[1]

Have you ever had one of those days when you jumped out of bed and missed the floor?

I had a few weeks where the knees didn't want to work well, and sometimes the floor wasn't where it was expected to be.

HippieChick58 replies on Jan 16, 2019:

@Benthoven I fell on the ice three times last winter. Plus I had a desk job, worked frequent over time, and I have been considerably overweight. So there were mornings when they did not want to work well. In September when I became unemployed I started walking and strengthening the knees. I've lost weight and I don't remember the last morning I had to think about my knees before I rolled out of bed.

@RavenCT Good to know. Usually I had only one cat or two cats and one litter box. Since I got Zelda I've had two boxes as the vet recommended. For a while the litter boxes were on different floors, but that wasn't working for me. So they are in the basement laundry room which is the perfect location for me, and apparently them. I have to wonder how they decide what to do in each box, do they communicate? What criteria is used for the box on the right being primarily for stools. And yes, odd thing do take up head space from time to time.

@Trajan61 I disagree. You haven't seen a major exodus yet so far because of Der Donald. Most people just want a job, a home, and to raise their families in peace. Der Donald wants you to believe it is rapists and other criminals coming in. It isn't. It is families who want to protect their children. They want to work and they are not afraid of hard work. I am not afraid of people who's skin is darker than mine (well, that's about everybody) nor of people who speak a different language. I know how hard it is to move to a strange place. Those trying to come to the US are motivated, dedicated, and very brave. Yes, I am a compassionate liberal, but I am also clear eyed. The US has always been a refuge for the downtrodden. "Give me your tired, your poor", has been our guidance. That is what made us the greatest nation. We cannot be that again until we return to that mission.

Who says walls don’t work?

However, the wall had armed guards on it all the time. Can you see that happening on the southern border? The Berlin wall was only 96 miles long. The southern border is several thousand miles. The wall was built by the East German government to keep people in. There is quite a difference in the ...

@Trajan61 The Iron Curtain was not a physical wall. It was a heavily guarded and patrolled border. The actual wall was about 96 miles. Borders are man made constructs, we are all citizens of the earth. The people looking for asylum are fleeing conflict in their homelands, they are fleeing for their lives. The conflicts in their homelands is a result of the US meddling under GB1 and GB2.

@Trajan61 The actual wall was not that long from what I am finding on Wikipedia. Also the Iron Curtain and the Berlin Wall were definitely not humanitarian in nature. They were expensive too, requiring a great deal of ammunition and manpower to keep it intact. I'd rather not live in a soviet style state and I think any border wall is a bad idea.

Ted Cruz: People outside DC are not concerned with Russia investigation - CNNPolitics

SeaGreenEyez comments on Jan 13, 2019:

I think he meant, "People in DC are not concerned with the Russia investigation." (He's such a whiny weepy fellow. I can't even read him without hearing his whimper.) ?

HippieChick58 replies on Jan 13, 2019:

I am with you on that one. Ted is the reason I cut the cable. During the Iowa Primary he was in my living room too often so I called the cable company and turned it off. I then got a Roku, I have Netflix and Amazon prime and I don't miss cable at all.

Honey, have you seen the cat anywhere?

RavenCT comments on Jan 13, 2019:

That actually happens with black cats. I've literally said "Where's Raz?" Than had him blink his eyes open right THERE! And don't get me started on almost tripping on him in a dark hallway. Good thing his eyes are green? lol

HippieChick58 replies on Jan 13, 2019:

My golden matched the woodwork in the house we had when we first got him. He would follow me to the bathroom and lie down outside the door waiting for me. I'd trip over him as I left the room because I couldn't see him. I'd feel bad for both of us. He was my shadow. There was not room in that half bath for the both of us.

What is hummus please?

HippieChick58 replies on Jan 13, 2019:

Specifically mashed garbanzos with tahini, garlic, and cumin. It is quite delicious, high in protein and fiber.

I've kind of been worried about this for a while, but been comforted by the fact that I will probably be dead before this stuff becomes widespread enough to affect me.

I only worry how it will affect my children and grandchildren.

@Skeezwazzle I have lived in Omaha for 14 years this week. I don't really know anyone in my neighborhood, and the friends I have are working full time and who has time to hang out. My kids are all working full time plus have kids, and we make time for each other as we can. And it is winter so outdoor activities are iffy at best. So I spend lots of time online where I have a community and I know I can find someone to "talk" with.
