I think we should put WaPo's David Fahrenthold on it since he did such a bang up job hunting down the nonexistence of Trump's charitable donations. With an investigation into the people cheated by Trump, Mr. Fahrenthold would at least get some actual conversations out of the investigation. Man, I really felt like sending the guy a case of wine after he spent all that time calling charity after charity after charity. What a slog.

At first, when he said at he was "bullied out of many thousands of dollars" in the ballroom, I thought he was a waiter experiencing wage theft.

I hope there is time to do ads like this for minimum wage workers.

But I hope they will also spend more time calling attention to the lives of working class people, as was done in this add.

by Trump had an office near Central Park, you're saying that he deserved to be ripped off? That guy had a business, and employees he had to pay, and HIS story needs to be told as well. Clinton needs to run this ad on TV where it gets maximum exposure, again and again. Trump is a slimeball and the world needs to know the truth. Bernie had a chance to tell whatever story he wanted to tell, and most of us saw this ad before. We get it. But don't try and hijack someone else's thread by trying to make the claim that one person's story is more compelling, and therefore more worthy than someone else's. Start your own thread.

Most people can't dream of running a business off of Broadway avenue in Manhattan.

Edit-

Or paying for a architecture degree either.

Though edifying I actually find the ad somewhat off-putting. I think a lot of minimum wage workers would too.

There are going to be more ads. My only point is that I hope they spend the resources to highlight the plight of working class people and the poor.

Architects can file a lien. It has been my experience that once this done you will get paid.

Until that point, the lien has no real affect on the person who owes the money. At least that's been my understanding.

on Don the Con projects could honestly make a similar ad concerning their work on his projects. That's how many real estate developers/promoters operate in their sleazy world.

Mon Jul 11, 2016, 04:39 PM

is that anything they see that is negative about Trump they simply dismiss as Hillary lies. Remember, these are the same people who believe that Orlando, San Bernardino, Dallas, and Sandy Hook are all 'false flag' operations using 'crisis actors' so that the Democrats can come and take their guns away. They are the people who honestly believe that their guns will protect them from the gummint - even though Dallas just proved that the gummint can blow your ass away with a robot and you won't see a gummin agent when it does. There is no reasoning or arguing with these people, so these ads won't do any good. I don't think there are any fence-sitters at this point.

what had happened to their party of Lincoln. Final question, "If we are the Party of moral integrity, what happened to our moral integrity?" or some such language.
I believe the message came from one of the conservative anti Trump groups, I watch closer next time.
