President-elect Donald Trump has decided that he won’t seek criminal investigations related to former rival Hillary Clinton’s private email server or her family foundation, his campaign manager said Tuesday

One of his worst promises, to be sure. But now it's a BROKEN PROMISE.

The rubes are going to have a 'sad'. Poor dears.

Privately owned restaurants and construction is what I personally see more of. Do not really know how this impacts food franchises, hotels and casinos. As an employer I can tell you that this can be a Catch-22.

As far as food franchises.... A min wage employee is promoted to day shift manager or some other nicely named position. Now that employee is salaried. Obama lowered the cap at which salaried employees can begin to earn overtime. Trump's proposal would raise that cap. So, the franchise can keep the employee just under that salary cap and work him as much overtime as they want and not have to pay for it.

I'm counting on Trump to break some promises.

I'm fine with this one being broken, and you should be too if you weren't so blinded by the group think that prevails on this forum.

Now if he breaks the ones he made about leaving Social Security and Medicare alone, I will be outraged, but for now I'm going to stay in a wait and see mode.

I've learned to stop worrying and love the climate change bomb.

Nobody's going to do jack shit about it, and anyway, the human herd is in need of a serious thinning, so it's all good.

Death wish is a big motivator for fascists.

Isn't it comforting to have Paul Ryan as 3rd in line knowing it is his mission to end SS and Medicare even the vouchers if nothing else, the easiest way to defund any program.

Solar and wind employ more people than coal, the renewables workers are kept healthier and also are better paid. If we weren't so corrupt we would re-train coalworkers to work in this industry. Denmark has had a negative carbon footprint for years now and hasn't gone bankrupt.
But they don't have money like the coal CEO's for payoffs have by cutting corners and putting employees lives at risk.
Yeah, we'll be dead when it makes a difference between life and death, so F our children and their children, right?

I was hinting at Der Fuehrer in waiting's self interest.
