We’re still living in George W. Bush’s world, and the world is still living through his heinous wars. Americans are still enduring his assaults on civil liberties, his expansion of the surveillance state, and his cruel policies against Muslim Americans. Abu Ghraib may have been closed, but Guantanamo Bay persists.


Yeah, I admit, the Obamas and Clintons being chummy with Dubya pisses me the hell off. He's a war criminal, a cheat and a bigot.

jobs created in the future. Thank the G-- D--- Republicans.

We'll need thousands of ambulance drivers, ER staff, and morticians.

At what point will the orange goon declare that America is great again?

and when I first heard it, it was directed at Governor Rick Perry of Texas. He had actually added more jobs than any other governor in the country at the time. The punchline was taking a shot at the ugly statistic that Texas had the highest percentage of minimum wage jobs in the country.

Also raised the national debt, gutted union jobs, started the regressive income inequality movement, and supplied weapons to Iran. I'm sure that I forgot to mention other disastrous Reagan policies that still have a serious impact on all of us even to this day.

We are a nation of sales clerks. The jobs Trumpy Dumpy so gleefully claims to create are poor paying, crappy little jobs no one can support a family on.

We need more than one job cause sales clerk pays practically nothing. Try and work your way through college on one sales clerk job even if it is 40 hours. Try to pay rent, food, clothes and health care (because sales clerks usually don't get healthcare benefits.) on a sales clerk job.

We are all poor now...except maybe for 1 in 100.
