I just can’t look away from the news. It’s like a circus train wreck and all the clowns are running around on fire. They are trying to put it out but the buckets are filled with confetti.
The two leading Democrat Congress women, Pelosi and Wasserman Schultz spent a town hall trying to convince working Americans that a $1,000 bonus was a pittance and should be resented as nothing but the crumbs that fell from the mouths of corporate fat cats.
Senator Dick(head) Durbin made it clear he gave no shits about the citizens of Illinois and his sole mission in the Senate was to advocate for illegals.
I’m not going to let anything distract me from my singular mission: making sure that Dreamers have the protection and certainty about their future that they deserve.

Governor of New York Andrew Cuomo makes it clear that illegal immigrant children deserve free college tuition at taxpayer expence.

It’s so bad.
But it gets worse.
Over in California, the Fight for 15 movement to raise the minimum wage to $15/hour has decimated the restaurant industry causing workers in restaurants that haven’t closed to be replaced with robots.
Realizing that there are still operating restaurants in California, the state legislature is working on a bill that would fine waitstaff $1,000 or put them in jail for 6 months if they bring patrons a straw without the patron requesting it.
This is an attempt to end the use of plastic straws.
This will play out as well as San Francisco’s plastic bag ban which caused e coli. Turns out people don’t wash the reusable bags between carrying raw chicken and salad greens.
This time the unintended consequences will be nobody will want to risk jail over a drinking straw and quit waiting tables.
The good news is the $1,000 fine is “just crumbs.”
This is the same California legislature that is trying to get California business to give half their tax returns to the state.
It’s as though every policy is specifically crafted to fuck over every business owner, citizen, and tax payer that does anything less than manage a hedge fund.
The next two years are going to be amazing to watch.
“It’s like a circus train wreck and all the clowns are running around on fire.”
Burn Democraps, burn!
Someone please pass the popcorn. 😀
“Corporate fat cats” create wealth — for everyone. The more money they make, the more they spread it around and everyone is better off.
Government doesn’t create wealth – it only redistributes it after overhead costs.
That’s what the left doesn’t understand/refuses to believe.
Funny considering the Democrats who squeak the loudest about the fat cats tend to be the ones getting a good share of cash from them.
Like Maxine Waters, who got rich off corruption, enough so that she no longer lives in her district (if she ever did)…
I waited tables through college. I can see some smarmy twerp asking for a straw, and then turn you in, demand you be fined while claiming they are environmentally sensitive and would never ask for a straw. It would be more fun than unscrewing the salt and pepper tops, or spraying mustard all over the seats.
Restaurants would make you sign documentation that you asked for a straw before giving you one.
Maybe you should only be allowed to buy straws from a licensed dealer….ya know,like a “straw” purchase……the company I work for just announced they are giving away crumbs from 200 up to 1000 to hourly workers based on years there.
Nice surprise for a few hundred thousand employees..
