White House Seeks To Lower Farmworker Pay To Help Agriculture Industry
https://www.npr.org/2020/04/10/83207...lture-industry
So typical of Repube "thought". Kick the weak while they're down. So much for farm workers being essential to this lot.

Actually, I think this is their response to the farmers who say they will go broke if they can't hire illegals.

We’ve never backed a Democrat for president. But Trump must be defeated.

Quote:
Biden is now the presumptive Democratic nominee and he has our support. Biden has the experience, the attributes and the character to defeat Trump this fall. Unlike Trump, for whom the presidency is just one more opportunity to perfect his narcissism and self-aggrandizement, Biden sees public service as an opportunity to do right by the American people and a privilege to do so.
...
We are in a transcendent and transformative period of American history. The nation cannot afford another four years of chaos, duplicity and Trump’s reality distortion. This country is crying out for a president with a spine stiffened by tragedy, a worldview shaped by experience and a heart whose compass points to decency.
It is our hope that when the next president takes the oath of office in January, Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. will be the president for a truly united America. The stakes are too high to do anything less.

There are still a few thinking Republicans...

'Navy May Reinstate Fired Captain to Command of Roosevelt' NYT
WASHINGTON — The Navy is looking into whether it can reinstate Capt. Brett E. Crozier, who was removed from command of the carrier Theodore Roosevelt after he pleaded for more help fighting a novel coronavirus outbreak aboard his ship, Defense Department officials said on Wednesday. Adm. Michael M. Gilday, the chief of naval operations, has indicated that he may reinstate Captain Crozier, who is viewed as a hero by his crew for putting their lives above his career, officials said.
“No final decisions have been made,” Cmdr. Nate Christensen, a spokesman for the admiral, said in a statement to The Times on Wednesday. Commander Christensen added that Admiral Gilday was reviewing the findings of a preliminary investigation into the events surrounding Captain Crozier’s removal.

Donny's 'total authority' boast should've enraged Republicans. Instead they shrugged.
For decades, conservatives have pointed to the 10th Amendment as the very essence of decentralized government. Now, it's not clear what Trump's GOP supporters believe.

The Good Ol' White Boy party stands for nothing but money and power. Principles? Ha!

They believe in the War Against the Libs. Nothing else.

Matt Gaetz rents office space from longtime friend and donor — at taxpayer expense
https://www.politico.com/news/2020/0...r-funds-191378
Quote:
House rules state that all leases for district offices must be “at fair market value as the result of a bona fide, arms-length, marketplace transaction. The Lessor and Lessee certify that the parties are not relatives nor have had, or continue to have, a professional or legal relationship (except as a landlord and tenant).”

Rules schmules. Sigh.
