Trueblue1968's JournalBernie Samders doesn't pay his organizers the min wage of $15.00. HYPOCRITE !!!
SCOOP: For years, Bernie Sanders has traveled the country advocating for a $15 per hour minimum wage.
His campaign organizers say they aren’t making that much, and they're using his words to protest for higher wages.
Unionized campaign organizers working for Sen. Bernie Sanders’s presidential effort are battling with its management, arguing that the compensation and treatment they are receiving does not meet the standards Sanders espouses in his rhetoric, according to internal communications.
Campaign field hires have demanded an annual salary they say would be equivalent to a $15-an-hour wage, which Sanders for years has said should be the federal minimum. The organizers and other employees supporting them have invoked the senator’s words and principles in making their case to campaign manager Faiz Shakir, the documents reviewed by The Washington Post show.
Sanders has made standing up for workers a central theme of his presidential campaigns — this year marching with McDonald’s employees seeking higher wages, pressing Walmart shareholders to pay workers more and showing solidarity with university personnel on strike. The independent from Vermont has proudly touted his campaign as the first presidential effort to unionize its employees, and his defense of the working class has been a signature element of his brand of democratic socialism and a rallying cry for the populist movement he claims to lead.
Details about the negotiations between Shakir and the union representing Sanders’s campaign workers have not been publicly reported until now. A review of emails, instant messages and other documents obtained by The Post show that the conflict dates back to at least May and remains unresolved. The documents were provided to The Post on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the private talks.

If I had it MY WAY, every person in the LOWEST part of the polls would be in the KIDS Debate
I thought last nights debate was a travesty. The LOWEST people in the polls interrupted during the whole debate.
Destroying the speech of the people who were supposed to be answering. ALL of the Candidates are fine people but the 1% folks don't have a chance in heck.
I think last nights debate, in my opinion was NOT free speech ... it was the destruction of speech.
If I had it MY way, ALL of these Candidates would be relegated to what was called "The Kids Table" Debates :
Andrew Yang
Marianne Williamson
Kirsten Guillibrand
Eric Swalwell
Tim RyanWayne Messam
John Hickenlooper
Tulsi Gabbard
John Deaney
Bill De Blasio
Steve Bullock
Michael Bennet
Guillibrand is REALLY PISSING ME OFF. This is not the GUILLIBRAND HOUR. She is rude !!
I just can't support someone who is not honest. She knows the rules and she is shouting over the others. Her opinions and statements have NOT "turned me on" ..... she just want her voice out there because she is not well known and low in the polls.
This is just my opinion and I hope I'm not seen as Anti-Dem. I love my Dems !!!

In 828 days, President Trump has made 10,111 false or misleading claims The Fact Checker’s ongoing database of the false or misleading claims made by President Trump since assuming office.

Most repeated claims
“We're building the wall, by the way, we're going to have over 400 miles of wall built by the end of next year.”
Fact Check:
No, Trump’s wall is not yet being built. Congress inserted specific language in its appropriations bill that none of the $1.57 billion appropriated for border protection may be used for prototypes of a concrete wall that Trump observed while in California. The money can be used only for bollard fencing and levee fencing, or for replacement of existing fencing. The same restrictions were included in the spending bill Trump signed on Feb. 15, 2019. Trump appears to acknowledge the renovations, except he persists in claiming it is a wall. All told, Congress has funded about 175 miles of barriers. Trump has also tapped a Treasury Department asset forfeiture fund to build 30 miles and unused Pentagon funding to fund 53 miles. That adds up to a little under 260 miles, which Trump-speak often gets translated to 400 miles. ***************** Repeated 160 times:

Donald Trump joke.
When Donald Trump died, an elaborate wake was planned. In preparation, Mrs. Trump called the undertaker aside for a private little talk. "Please be sure to secure his toupee to his head very securely. No one but I knew he was bald," she confided, "and he'd never rest in peace if anyone found out at this point. Our friends from the old country are sure to hold his hands and touch his head before they're through paying their last respects."
"Rest assured, Mrs. Trump," comforted the under- taker. "I'll fix it so that toupee will never come off."
Sure enough, the day of the wake the old timers were giving Donald's ancient corpse quite a going over, but the toupee stayed firmly in place. At the end of the day, a delighted Mrs. Trump offered the undertaker an extra thousand dollars for handling the matter so professionally.
"Oh, I couldn't possibly accept your money," protested the undertaker. "What's a few nails?"
