Trump's popularity is indicative of how low the republican party has sunk. They literally don't have a single serious candidate for president. President Obama should have a difficult time with re-election but it'll be a cake walk with competition like this.

I don't know for sure, but if a govt. shutdown means our Congress critters don't get paid, then I can guarantee a budget will pass. Mitch McConnell is not about to miss out on one penny of money coming his way. Not one penny.

This has to be the single funniest thing ever posted on JT. AND THE REST OF US!
Like you matter. I'm your biggest antagonist and all I do is pick on you when I need a pick me up myself.
No one has threatened you or your way of life. Quit trying to claim some sort of victimhood. It's hilarious, but pathetic.

OK, now I know you've jumped the shark. From a sign in Wisconsin:
"Gov. Walker, you may not remember me, but I can recall you."
He won't see the end of his term. Taka

We took the kids to the Cirque du Soleil last year. I don't know who enjoyed it more, me or them. I highly recommend it to anyone.

"There goes my boy again and his so-called "conservative truths" which are anything but.
Teachers in Wisconsin do not make 100K/year.
I would be embarrassed to post so much make believe stuff but I guess if you have the mods cleaning up for you, when you're called out, it helps to maintain the fantasy.
From factcheck.org:
And what do you get for having collective bargaining rights with your teachers? Better education, that's what. But conservatives are dumb and don't care if their children are dumb too so who cares if the states with no collective bargaining agreement for their teachers rate 44th, 47th, 48th, 49th, and 50th in ACT/SAT scores.

Sorry, meant to say that for there to be teachers making this mythical 90k a year and for there to be an average of 51K a year, a lot of teachers must be making less than 51K a year.
Apparently those teachers shouldn't have any collective bargaining rights either because it's all or nothing crazy land.

molenir,
If the highest paid teachers are being paid over 90K a year (a claim I find rather dubious), and the average salary is 51K a year, then there are many teachers who are earning less than the that 90K figure.
You want to take away their collective bargaining rights just to get at those mythical 90K people.
In other words, you want to cure a headache by cutting off the head.
Stupid. Stupid. And more stupid.

So a tea partier a business exec and a union rep sit down at a table with a dozen donuts. The business exec grabs 11 of them right away and then looks at the stupid tea partier and says, "you better watch out for that union feller, he's after your donut."

I cannot help but wonder how many of the people on this thread that have gone out of their way to paint Michael Moore as a hypocrite listen to el rushbo.
I also wonder if they have any sense of irony whatsoever.
