    Government contractors get it too. Which makes sense as they're mostly support personnel for people who aren't working anyway.

    What? No. This is an utter strawman of my argument. But even that aside, this is a situation of "tell me you know nothing of electrical engineering in the US without telling me you know nothing about electrical engineering and I'm so lazy and convinced I know how things work I'm not even...

    That does fall under interstate commerce, but just because an action falls under interstate commerce doesn't mean you need an entire cabinet level department creating rules and regulations on the topic. In fact, if it is just a matter of interstate commerce, we already have a cabinet level...

    "Operating across state lines" =/= "Engaged in Interstate Commerce" under the original understanding of Interstate Commerce. To be engaged, under the original understanding, one has to actively be selling goods or services in a state the company is not based in. Employment doesn't really...

    Err... let's actually go through this list. OSHA - Workplace safety and regulation isn't part of the remit of power to Congress in Article 1, the way they get around that is by the overly expansive interpretation of the Commerce Clause. Further, this isn't something that the Federal government...

    Err... no? The vast, VAST majority of the Federal government from an employee perspective is under the Executive Branch. Every "Departments of X" is an Executive Branch Agency. Any organization that the President appoints people to are part of the Executive Branch unless specifically set up...

    State is still using SBU as of... oh, right, today, emblazoned all over the documents and emails I drafted and worked on today... And no I'm not. This is, quite literally my day job. If I did a quarter of what Clinton did, I would be out on my ear and likely in jail pending trial. She got...

    . . . You do know they recovered some of the emails from Anthony Weiner's wife's computers when she was arranged and her shit had been gone through and at that point they found that, yes indeed, Clinton had used her server to pass through confidential documents? And while the mainstream media...

    And you should. While you might suspect him for his opinions, one thing that's likely been driven into him (as it has been to me) is the proper handling of classified data. I have an annual refresher course I am mandated to take, and the worst I handle is SBU. Given his stated position, I...

    Because there's no accusations, that I am aware of, of it being used to pass Classified information. This is the core issue with the Clinton servers, there IS evidence that it was used to pass Classified information AND in order to prevent proper investigation of how much, Clinton had the...

    OK. So this isn't a fair comparison because the rules were different when Colin Powell was Sec State compared to when Clinton was. Heck, the IT rules are different NOW from when Clinton was in office. And I'm not just speaking out my ass, my actual professional job involves State Department...

    Not really. Even in the 90s Trump's politics were more in line with those of the Reform Party than the Democrats. Heck, by the late 90s Trump WAS a member of the Reform Party and was even their Presidential candidate once or twice in the late 90s / early 00s. By the 80s the Dems had already...

    Dude was virulently anti-birth control and abortion and loved guns, and strongly believed in the ability of people to "lift themselves up by their own bootstraps". He may have supported more social programs than the average modern Republican, but he was defiantly more center-right than anywhere...

    Firstly, yes. You should look into how frequently Hamas and the Palestinians wave around the Nazi swastika. Then go look at the demographics of the typical "pro-Palestinian" rally in the US. Those folks ain't voting Republican. Secondly, you know the reason for so much suspicion of there...

    <Citation needed> Both the major tax break passed under Trump and George W Bush primary shifted the tax burden from the middle and lower class to the upper class. Prior to that the massive Reagan reform of the tax code was also completely across the board. So going back 40 years the various...

    The Republicans have never been the Party of Big Business. The idea they were has always been propaganda thrown at them by the media and democrats, but if you actually go look and study the policies and effects of governmental policies on business you will quickly understand that the Democrats...

    Ehh... government organizations are allowed to make money so long as its a core part of their responsibilities and goes back to supporting that mission. The Postal Service is perhaps the most obvious example of this, but, for instance, the US State Department's Bureau of Counselor Affairs often...

    No. They were against Trump in the 2016 Primary for a wide variety of reasons from ideological (look, Trump was a GAMBLE with no real Conservative bonafides in 2016, National Review much would have preferred Rubio or Cruz someone with a much longer solid history of being an actual Conservative)...

    The actual Deep State effort against Trump was the secret documents at Margo Largo scandal. That one both had solid legal basis under it, and one of the things that all members of the deep state are regularly reminded of, and thus are quite familiar with, is the government regulations on...
