3rdnlng Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 2 hours ago, Koko78 said: Didn't Nancy Pelosi somehow magically become a millionaire through her husband getting massive contracts, after she entered Congress? https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2007/jan/12/20070112-120720-2734r/ House Republicans yesterday declared “something fishy” about the major tuna company in House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s San Francisco district being exempted from the minimum-wage increase that Democrats approved this week. “I am shocked,” said Rep. Eric Cantor, Virginia Republican and his party’s chief deputy whip, noting that Mrs. Pelosi campaigned heavily on promises of honest government. “Now we find out that she is exempting hometown companies from minimum wage. This is exactly the hypocrisy and double talk that we have come to expect from the Democrats.” On Wednesday, the House voted to raise the minimum wage from $5.15 to $7.25 per hour. The bill also extends for the first time the federal minimum wage to the U.S. territory of the Northern Mariana Islands. However, it exempts American Samoa, another Pacific island territory that would become the only U.S. territory not subject to federal minimum-wage laws. One of the biggest opponents of the federal minimum wage in Samoa is StarKist Tuna, which owns one of the two packing plants that together employ more than 5,000 Samoans, or nearly 75 percent of the island’s work force. StarKist’s parent company, Del Monte Corp., has headquarters in San Francisco, which is represented by Mrs. Pelosi. The other plant belongs to California-based Chicken of the Sea. “There’s something fishy going on here,” said Rep. Patrick T. McHenry, North Carolina Republican.

LSHMEAB Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Remember when some black kids stole sunglasses and people acted like it was a crime of moral turpitude? Almost like there's multiple double standards at play in these cases. The most consistent civil libertarian out there is Alan Dershowitz. If you're not consistent, you have ulterior motives.

Tiberius Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Now this is draining the swamp! Manafort, Gates, Cohen and the rest. They figured it out long ago, run for election blaming people who have darker skin for everything, then steal everything you can get your hands on. It's great till you get caught. Surprised this guy wasn't in Trumps cabinet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MILFHUNTER#518 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 (edited) The timing of this raises my eyebrows. So they drop this the MORNING AFTER the Repubs lay the smackdown on the Dems in the special election, after ALL 5 of Trump's endorsed candidates win, and all 6 picks the commie from Westchester endorsed were defeated? And all that being said, they cannot find a reason to investigate Feinstein? Edited August 8, 2018 by MILFHUNTER#518 Added content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe true may be false. Innocent until proven guilty and all that "stuff". I wonder if there will be picketing in Spaulding Lake? ? Definitely a blow for Trump as Chris Collins was his first congressional supporter. I don't think anybody gives a damn about Chris Collins is it relates to Trump. 2 minutes ago, MILFHUNTER#518 said: The timing of this raises my eyebrows.

During a time Trump had active FISA's on his team. (This isn't to suggest the congressman isn't dirty, he seems to be - it's just a fun aside as to how this evidence was collected). Gotta show they got something out of those FISAs I guess since they missed their true target. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
