So under your moral code working for a racist such as Trump in a legal job is the same as stealing from stores?

Is that type of thinking how so many brothers can justify to themselves burning and looting other people businesses during riots?


What do mean by "brothers", are you talking about the Baldwin boys? Yeah, I didn't think so.

I think he must have some siblings who were recently involved in riots of some kind. That's gotta be it, right GB?

@revelette2,
Like there's a choice, either or. I wasn't talking about working in a hotel, I was talking about the despicable white supremacists supporting Trump. Did you miss that little news snippet?

@BillRM,
Why are you blaming the victims? Wage slaves are victims. Trump and anyone who exploits their workers' poverty (Walmart is a classic example) without pulling the workers out of poverty while raking in BILLIONS in profits (Trump, Walton heirs) are no better than slavers and they represent a plantation mentality.

@revelette2,
I think exploited poor who adapt, improvise, overcome the obstacles purposely put in their way to prevent them from earning or bettering their lot are not criminals: desperate times require desperate measures.

I have posed a question to teenagers - just to make them think a little - along the lines of "Would you steal food or medicine to feed your hungry or sick child?"

I am not sure I agree, either a thing is wrong or it is right. In an emergency, sure, if you make restitution later. It is not right take away someone's else's food or livelihood. Why are you better and more deserving to have whatever you are stealing than the one you are stealing from?

@snood,
I would not steal from others to feed my family. Rather, I have contributed to Second Harvest Food bank and other charities that feeds and houses the poor.

Speaking of somewhat trivial things on campaign trails, has anyone else noticed Rubio is getting paler? Ya'll think he is tired and kind of wan looking or lightening his skin?

Edit, just to compare

On second thought, perhaps it is just the make-up, looks better on the bottom picture.

Unless you've been that poor you never really know. I haven't so I can't say either. I've had times when I was juggling bills and counting every penny but I've never been that desperate. We all like to think we're highly moral but unless you've been in that situation you don't know. They say the collapse of civilisation is only something like three meals away.

Donald Drumpf’s popularity is collapsing, and the republicans may get stuck with him anyway

http://www.dailynewsbin.com/opinion/donald-trump-is-in-freefall-and-the-republicans-may-be-stuck-with-him-anyway/24036/

Just how badly did this weekend go for republican frontrunner Donald Trump? Not only did he unexpectedly lose two states in blowouts, he won two other states by just a few points that he was supposed to win by blowouts. The trend is now clear that even in states where Trump has a twenty digit lead in the final round of polling, there is a realistic chance that he’ll end up losing that state. He’s now limping through this primary, as republican backlash against him continues to grow. His popularity could be on its last legs by this summer – and yet the republicans could get stuck with him as their nominee anyway.

In what might be the strangest twist in the Donald Trump saga yet, his primary-long invincible momentum is now finally beginning to collapse at a time when he’s coming closer to getting mathematically locked in as the nominee. What causes a frontrunner candidate to suddenly start coming in consistently below his poll numbers? Are his supporters becoming nervous as his antics grow more severe, or are they simply the type of political outsiders who were never going to show up to vote anyway? That’s not clear. But it is clear that Trump is in freefall, just as he’s in danger of getting locked into the nomination.

If Trump can survive his sudden freefall and hang on to win Florida and Ohio by even the smallest of margins on March 15th, he’ll receive all of the delegates from both of those winner-take-all states. That’ll subsequently make it difficult for the other republicans to take enough delegates away from him to push him below fifty percent. That would mean no contested contention, but rather simply Donald Trump moving forward as the republican nominee – at a time when the republican base is finally turning against him.

@izzythepush,
We've been "that poor." Our home right after WWII was a room separated by army blankets for each family at the Buddhist Church school rooms in Sacramento. We had no privacy whether it was the showers, toilets, or dining room/kitchen.
Fast forward to today. We live in the heart of Silicon Valley, and our home is valued at around $1.7 million.

Having no other options, I would steal to keep my family fed and sheltered with no qualms whatsoever.

Trump happily accepts support from yet another absolute kook...
A really vicious one at that.


Donald Trump: "Great Honor" To Be Endorsed By Sandy Hook Truther

Trump Rally Speaker Carl Gallups Attacked Newtown Victim's Parents As Fakes Who Participated In "Staged" Shooting

Donald Trump's campaign has been relying on the support of Carl Gallups, a Florida-based pastor and radio host, ahead of the state's March 15 Republican primary; the campaign invited Gallups to speak at a rally and touted his endorsement as a "great honor" from a "prominent" leader. Gallups is a fringe conspiracy host who believes the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, CT, was a "staged" "hoax" and that the father of one of the victims was an "actor employed by the Obama administration to take away your guns."
