Trump set to institute Wage Slavery via the NLRB and his Department of Forced Labor

The property which every man has in his own labour, as it is the original foundation of all other property, so it is the most sacred and inviolable - Adam Smith, Wealth of Nations
More people getting paid for overtime work sounds great, but... Speaker Paul Ryan illustrates how more money for American Workers is bad because when Americans are financially secure they vote for a Democratic Socialist Government but, when reduced to penury by Republican policies they elect reactionary Republicans.

One of the most pernicious lies promulgated about President Obama's tenure was he did nothing for the working class. President Obama's National Labor Relations Board and head of the Department of Labor Tom Perez, increased protections and aggressively defended workers while punishing employers who conducted wage theft.

President Obama and his Labor Department passed regulations changing the ceiling mandating overtime pay but, a Federal Judge in Texas held up the overtime rule back in December. Now, traitor Trump and his Department of Forced Labor will undo it completely as well as undercutting American workers on several other avenues.

Under the President Obama's Department of Labor rules, salaried employees earning less than $47,476 annually would have automatically received overtime pay when they work more than 40 hours in a week, double the current $23,660 ceiling. More than 4 million workers would have earned an estimated extra $12 billion over the next decade. As Vice President Joe Biden correctly noted last year, "It is based on a simple proposition. If you work overtime, you should actually get paid for working overtime."

This, of course, enraged Republicans, who responded with predictable Pavlovian frothing at the mouth fury. Actually, paying workers is antithetical to the Republican Party.  Trump especially doesn't pay people who work for him, as thousands of contractors and former FBI head James Comey found out.

In many ways Traitor Trump, is a bog standard Republican, he hates paying workers and uses the awesome power of the Federal Government to ensure he doesn't have to. The Republican Plan to screw over workers works like this; an employee works 60 hours (20 hours overtime) but instead of being paid time-and-a-half, the 20 hours goes into a bank of compensated time (CT), which theoretically the worker could use as paid time off or as pay at the end of the fiscal year. What really happens is the CT builds up for years and the employee never gets time off and never gets paid.

But, Trump and his Forced Labor Department are just getting started.  In addition, to making overtime an unpaid "benefit" of working in the U.S.  The Department of Forced Labor is also set to do the following:
  • Trump's proposed budget includes a 20 percent cut to Labor Department funding, but not all areas as the Office of Labor-Management Standards, which investigates conducts witch hunts against in private-sector unions is set to receive a 22 percent increase.
  • Eliminating the Fair Pay and Safe Workplaces rule, which barred companies from receiving federal contracts if they had a history of violating wage, labor or workplace safety laws. 
  • Rescinding the Persuader rule, which would have required law firms to publicly disclose any work they do for employers surrounding union busting and anti-union organization efforts.
  • Curtailing OSHA efforts to improve worker safety by delaying tightened exposure standards for silica, which is often breathed in by certain construction workers and linked to lung disease; and lower workplace exposure limits for beryllium, an industrial mineral linked to lung cancer.
And they are just getting started.  Traitor Trump and the Respublikanskaya Partiya have a message to 99% of Americans; You have No Friend in Government.  Welcome back to the Era of Forced Labor and Slavery.

Joe Biden was right as usual when, in 2012,  he stated, "We got a real clear picture of what they all value. Every Republican's voted for it.  They're going to put y'all back in chains."

The Trump family and the Republican Party are straight-up Traitors

We are a Republic not a Democracy - Conservative Mantra. Thanks to the traitorous Republican Party we have become a Respublik under Russian control.

Right wingers claim 3 million votes for Hillary were illegal, to explain why Trump was awarded the Presidency, as the ultimate Participation Trophy for coming in second place.  But, distressingly conservatives allowed 1 Dictator to determine the 2016 Presidential Election.

The Republicans always admired Dictator V. Putin.  Conservatives cherish and revere Putin because they long to have a strongman authoritarian dictator in office.  Putin's been sending Russian Agents into the US to destabilize faith in our governmental institutions and he found a willing partner in the Republican Party.  Putin shrewdly bought low and purchased Donald Trump in the 1990's and sat on his investment.  As the American Right-Wing descended into reactionary insanity and lost the last shreds of diginity, morality, and patriotism, Putin bought them too.
"There’s two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump – swear to god!", Majority Leader of the Traitor Republicans Kevin McCarthy admitted to House Lead Traitor Paul Ryan and Gun Nut Steve Scalise last year.
Now Putin is selling High as he orders Trump in their private secretive meetings and the Republicans to eviscerate the American Dream at home and the American Ideal abroad.  Russian asset Dana Rohrabacher was ordered by Kremlin officials to disseminate Russian Propaganda on the U.S. House floor to weaken the Untied States and aid Putin and the Russian Government.

The Republican Party, henceforth the Республиканская партия (anglicized Respublikanskaya Partiya) takes orders from the FSB and the Kremlin. Respublikanskayas have known for years Trump and members of Congress are owned by Vladimir Putin.

So, the Republican Party are allied with a foreign power to subvert the United States.  The Respublikanskaya Partiya declared war on the United States decades ago and have no compunctions when it comes to undermining elections, disseminating lies and propaganda, collaborating with foreign powers, and engaging in all manner of illegal activities in order to achieve power.
"Of course it’s legal – it’s war," Traitor Rudy Giuliani answered, laughing. "Until the war is over, anything is legal."
The Respublikanskaya Partiya goal is to remake America into a Neo-Feudal Tyranny in which all power and wealth resides in the hands of the 1% and Republicans act as vicious Guard Dogs for the Plutocracy, keeping the 99% shackled in perpetual wage slavery.

If it means the Republicans have to pay dividends to V. Putin well that's just the price for enacting their brutal evil agenda. 

What's shocking, depressing, and ironic is the the Republicans efforts, since Prime Traitor Ronnie Raygun, to undermine faith in the United States, sow distrust in the government, and swipe the American Dream from the hands of the working class has allowed the Evil Empire under Putin to succeed where it failed as the Soviet Union.

They Don't Care Republicans Cruz forward with medical plan to kill millions of Americans Update: Republican Senate fails

If you were Wealthy, You'd be Healthy
Since you're Poor, there's the Funeral Door

The Banana Republican Party latest plan to kill thousands and bankrupt millions of Americans is moving forward in fits and starts.  As the Party of Treason and Subversion of the United States the Respublikanskaya Partiya hates the American People and wishes to curtail the gains Americans made in the 20th century.

The Repeal and Replacement of Obamacare with They Don't Care is a case in point.  Republicans rallied against the ACA for 7 years!  They gnashed their teeth, they tore their hair, they beat their breasts, if only that Dastardly Obama would get out of the way they, the Republicans, would pass a Healthcare Insurance Law which would stand for all time.

Now, since the 2016 elections, the Republicans hold the entire Federal Government.  Yet, all they've mananged to propose are plans so cobbled together, so inane, and so monstorously evil even their duped and battered right-wing drones don't support it and the Insurance Industry has declared the latest version which includes the Ted Cruz Amendment "unworkable".  Ah, but there is one group which supports it, the Republicans Masters' the 1%.

Trump's campaign gave conservatives everything they wanted. Outright bigotry, violent racist language, implied calls for violence and explicit consent to harm the American People.

But Trump's election gave Republicans a chance to get everything they and the 1% have wanted; an End to American Dream and the elimination of the Social Safety Net.  Republicans serve the Plutocracy and the Plutocracy has no use for the American Dream. Republicans view American's value only in terms of the amount of work each American can do and the amount of excess labor value the Vulture Capitalist class can extract from each them.

The Progressive gains of the 20th century marked an actual rise for Americans which the Founding of the Nation and the Glided Age of the 19th century kept confined to the owners of the Nation.  And those Owners, the 1%, hate those progressive gains.  Because when the working class is no longer held in the shackles of corporate bondage and wage slavery they go on and create a pluralistic society with broad based protections for workers, the elderly, the afllicted with a chance for future generations to rise above the preceeding.

The Republicans HATE that.  The Republicans want a return to the days when a railway worker losing an arm on the job was kicked off at the next stop and left to fend for himself.  The Republicans want a return to the days when elderly coal miners were glad not to have been killed in an unsafe mine explosion or cave-in so they can instead whither away of black lung disease and die in a pauper's hovel.  The Republicans want a return to the days when medical care, education, pensions, and the prosepct of living and enjoying your golden years was reserved for the Rich.

The Republicans Don't Care and that is the Healthcare law they are passing.

Update:
The Republican Don't Care bill has apparently failed.  While it's fortunate the Republicans are as flaccid and incompetent as they are anti-American but, until the Republicans are removed from Congress they won't stop in their efforts to kill the poor and impoverish the working class.

Impeachment! Dana Loesch and the conservative longing for Civil War 2.0

Impeachment is now out in the open.  The 5 worst Presidents in American history have all been conservatives; Jefferson Davis, George W. Bush, Richard Nixon, Ronnie Raygun, and now Arch-Traitor Donald Trump.

Things are about to get dicey.  As the further evidence of right-wing betrayal of the Nation mounts, conservatives will grow irritable and begin to threaten death more openly.  Southern Conservative traitors murdered hundreds of thousands of Americans in the first Civil War and modern conservatives want to best that record, in Civil War 2.0.

NRA hired right-wing domestic terrorist Dana Loesch narrated the call for violence in the NRA's audition video to be the American Freikorps.  You can palpably feel Dana's hatred pulsing forth during her speech, the anger swelling in her, as her gnashing diatribe reaches its crescendo and she calls for The Clenched Fist to be dropped upon protesters, #blm, liberals, feminists and those enemies of conservatives, the American People.

Of course, Arch-Traitor Trump has numerous right-wing domestic terrorist organizations to choose from; the Oathbreakers, III Inchers, and Unconstitutional Sheriff's of America and if need be he can turn to his "Education" Secretary Betsy DeVos' brother Erik Prince and employ Blackwater inside the CONUS.  This would just be a further payback for Prince establishing another back channel for Traitor Trump to contact his master Vladimir Putin in the Seychelles.

A large number of people are already being hurt under the Trump Regime.  I used to believe Trump would make an off-handed tweet to the effect of won't someone rid me of these troublesome liberals but, with the incredible revelations of Trump's brazen betrayal of the Nation; the unbelievable number of meetings with Russian spies and employing active agents of the Russian Government in high level U.S. cabinet offices it's now much more likely the subversive Traitor Trump and his racist DOJ under Jeff Sessions will specifically instruct paramilitary operatives to begin rounding up and slaughtering Americans.

For a long time conservatives have been yearning to unleash their anger upon those whom they hate the most, the American People, and go on an orgy of murderous violence and bloodshed.  Right-Wing "humor" of no-limit liberal hunting permits and General Pinochet's Free Helicopter Rides undergird their ardent desire to murder a portion of America they deem undeserving of the pursuit of life, liberty, and happiness.

Conservatives have long-tired of dogwhistles, winks and nods.  They want and need a Casus Beli, real or imagined, to cloak themselves in the mantle of righteousness, so that they can #MAGA.

The Impeachment, trial, and removal of Donald Trump will be that Casus Beli.

Conservatives don't care about Russia because they willingly serve a KGB Colonel

Conservative means to serve and American conservatives serve a KGB Colonel. Republicans aren't worried about the Arch-Traitor Trump because Republicans hate the American People. Trump's Treason doesn't matter to the Right-Wingers because right-wingers always knew about the Russia collusion and interference in the 2016 elections.

Arch-Traitor Donald Trump was guaranteed to pass the evil legislation Republicans crafted so, why would they waste time investigating someone whom a) they agree with, b) committed treason with, and c) gave them the opportunity to eliminate the Social Safety Net and crush the American people under the yoke of corporate bondage and generational penury.

Paul Ryan and the Республиканская партия have been dreaming of the day they could take away the modest governmental aid which goes to the sick, the old, the lame, and the poor.  Steve King floated the Republican plan to cosign millions of Americans to an early death as they funnel women's healthcare funding and take food from the mouths of hungry children to pay for the Wall along the Mexican border.

The Banana Republicans hate the 20th Century, hate the American Dream being opened up to undeserving people, and hate that the poor don't work until they die.  The Respublikanskaya Partiya have been working to limit voting rights, purge voting records, rig election machines, engage in byzantine court-room legerdemain, and now openly allying with a Foreign Power to undermine and ensure vicious people are placed into the 3 Branches of Government to transform the Nation into a giant Republican Death Camp.

But, never forget Conservatives don't care about any of this.  Conservatives will gleefully let Trump and the Republicans slit their throats because they know Trump and the Republicans will slit the throats of the undeserving (blacks, hispanics, feminists, liberals, immigrants) first and as long as Conservatives get to watch other suffer they will willing aid the Republican Butchers in their tasks.

Traitor Trump, Respublikanets, and conservative criminals

It's incontrovertible the Respublikanets Party, numerous members of Traitor Trump's campaign, Trump's son, Vice-Traitor Mike Pence, and the Arch-Traitor Donald Trump himself allied with the FSB, additional agents of the Russian Spy Network, the Russian Government, and Vladimir Putin to illegally steal the 2016 Presidential election thus committing high crimes and misdemeanors.

The Respublikanet Party allied with Russia in service to their Plutocratic Overlords. As such they were willing to violate laws, undercut the election process, undermine U.S. Intelligence agencies, and betray the American people, because they knew Donald Trump as President would fast track their agenda of intolerance, oppression and adulation of rich.  Republicans hate the United States of America. Republicans believed they have a chance to eliminate the social safety net, end the American Dream and shackle the American people under crushing burden of corporate bondage.

As the evidence of Trump's Treason against the United States of America mounts conservatives have turned to a well-worn tactic first advanced by creationists.  To attack the fact of evolution, duplicitous conservative creationists demand that every facet of evolution needs to be explained or it's not true.  Russia and the Republicans colluded in treason to steal the election but, conservatives claim unless you can show every in and out, every shred of evidence, then it's not true.

Additionally, Republican criminals have changed their ardent denials from there was never any collusion, to the collusion occurred but's it's a "Nothingburger".  Now conservatives proclaim the collusion which they say never occurred is the fault of Barack Obama.

The Traitor Trump family, the Russian-aligned Republicans and their conservative criminals will never admit to their monstrous crimes and treason.  As the evidence mounts and the downfall of Arch-Traitor Trump grows more and more likely the Republican villains are going to issue louder and louder calls for political violence to their conservative domestic terrorist cells who are just aching to be unleashed to murder their enemies, the American People, in an orgy of violence instead of the slow death inflicted by Republican laws.

America falls for identity theft scam gives personal information to Putin's Puppet

Identity Theft is the fastest growing crime in the country.  Criminals target thousands of American households every year.  Nowhere is this more evident than the White House.  Donald Trump has stolen what it means to be the President.  He gave it away cheaply to Russian pimps and gangsters.  Now Putin's Puppet wants to steal the vital biographical data on 200 million Americans and hand it over to the FSB and Spetsnaz.  The Republican Party is alligned with Russia against the Unsited States of American and the American People.

Don't expect small government conservatives to decry this action.  The creation of a MASSIVE database by federal bureaucrats causes them no consternation because conservatives sold their shriveled blackened souls to their Republican Masters long ago.  Conservatives will do whatever their  Republican Masters want and the Republican Party obeys the 1%.

The 1% wants to destroy the American Dream and the quickest way to do that is to eliminate the franchise for millions of Americans who don't vote right.  Trump's tiny right-hand man for this endeavor is the odious Kric Kobach, who sent a demand letter from the Executive Branch to all Secretary of State for all 50 states.

The Plutocracy has always hated expanded voting rights in America because when the American People are offered a choice of what type of government they desire, it is a Democratic Socialist type, with a solid social safety net, dignity for the elderly, assistance for the destitute, access to education and employment, union protections, living wages, public parks and public landmarks, and medical coverage for everyone.

The Republican Party opposses all of these things.  The Republicans want this:
A Public Beach used exclusively by Republican Hatchetman Chris Christie
The Republican Party hates America.  Conservatives hate basic deceny, human rights, and the progressive 20th century.  Conservatives want access to the America Dream made available only to them and crushing penury and slavery on everyone else.  The 1% hate that they do not own everything in this country.  Combined together, conservatives, the Republican Party, and the 1% want to destroy the United States and replace it with a neo-feudal wage slave state.

Together these three enemies of America, conspired to get Donald Trump elected President, because they knew he would enact the right-wing agenda of Oppression, Intolerance and Adulation of the Rich with reckless abandon.
