Don't blame me, I voted for the other guy. (Politics General)

Michigan gov signs controversial minimum wage, paid sick leave laws
 
TL:DR, Michigan Republicans passed laws they knew the people would vote for ahead of the midterms so it wouldn’t be on the ballot, then passed new laws striking down the old ones. These laws being for a minimum wage increase and paid sick leave. All while saying “Work moar”.
 
Quite the contrast, the party of Lincoln and the party of Trump. One abolished slavery, the other wants to reimplement it.

This is the sort of shit you’d expect from elitist out of touch royals who view the peasants as machines

As I’ve said before, we need a French Revolution-style revolution. Overthrow the out-of-touch old farts out of our government. Fuck these assholes hard.

@MethidMan  

 
Well this sort of thing takes time. Saying X needs to happen may be cathartic. But if you really want it then we’ll, you got organize, build, and create. It may not end up being a French-styled insurrection and may take any number of options, but getting into an organized community or group is a start, and from there to build a program and basis for a movement with a plan and acting programs to build what is for the future.

The Aztecs didn’t sacrifice people to bring rain; they did it to give the sun god Huitlpochtli (There’s no way in Hell I spelt that right.) the strength he needs to prevent his siblings-the Moon and Stars-from destroying the world.

Trump administration bans bump stocks  
Hey remember when people said Trump was a gun rights advocate?

@Mikey  
Isn’t that a good thing? What are we complaining about?

@Scrabbleman  
If Trump pisses off the NRA, I’m not complaining either.

@Scrabbleman  
@Ereiam  
This will piss off Trump supporters because they’ll realize how much of a phony he is. A lot of people supported him because he said he “supports the second amendment”.

@Scrabbleman  
It’s not that we’re complaining, we’re just pointing out the hypocrisy and the possible backlash he’ll get from his fans

@Mikey
 
This is one thing I’ll unironically give him credit for.
 
And I’ll take back that credit when (not if) his NRA masters tell him to reverse the decision.

@Dustcan  

It’s such a surprisingly good decision I’m half convinced he doesn’t actually know what it does, but just heard “bump stocks” a lot and assumed it was some sort of economic thing that would save the market from everything his tariffs have caused.

@Mikey  
He also said he wants to take peoples guns away. So yeah it’s Trump.

@igotnopicks  
Nothing but a conman.

@igotnopicks
 
Finally checking off that part of authoritarianism?

And now Trump withdraws from Syria.
 
Uhhh.

@igotnopicks
 
I forget, isn’t that a good thing?

@Dustcan  
well, it’s odd considering who is withdrawing.

@igotnopicks  
Uh…yay?

@Mikey  
Trump once professed to be a Democrat and a good friend of the Clintons. It’s likely that he didn’t convert fully to a Republican.

@AnCapSaiyan
 
Trump’s registered political affiliations has jumped back and forth between Rep, Dem and Independent many times and his friendship are equally fleeting.
 
It’s easiest to point out that his “loyalties” are to whatever and whomever is the most convenient at any given time.

@AnCapSaiyan  
Trump is an opportunist who only cares for himself. He’d sell his own daughter if it helped him reach his goals
