Rep. Collins (R-GA): “Is it true the evidence gathered during your investigation did not establish that the president was involved in the underlying crime related to Russian election interference?”

Robert Mueller: “We found insufficient evidence of the president's culpability”

In his opening statement, Mueller said the investigation did not establish that the Trump campaign conspired with Russia and the probe did not address 'collusion.

Lol its over.

You nailed him right there.
These people don't get it. Minimum wage is for unskilled low level workers. And they are needed especially for SMEs and startups

I would not be surprised if trump pays his staffs better than Bernie.

here's an example of a city that implemented a variegated version of the $15 minimum wage's experience
https://www.vox.com/the-highlight/2019/7/13/20690266/seattle-minimum-wage-15-dollars
It was a mixed blessing but generally, total take home wages didn't fall, for many it increased and many more jobs were added, so what was your argument again.? undecided
Ohh mixed blessing indeed

The study, conducted by economists at the University of Washington using state unemployment insurance data, found that the increase added about $10 per week on average to the earnings of low-income workers through 2016, even while reducing weekly hours slightly. But more experienced workers made $19 more per week, the research found, partly by making up for lost hours in Seattle at second jobs worked outside city limits.

In addition, employee turnover decreased, which the authors believe suggests that employers tried harder to retain their most productive staff members as wages went up. That’s a plus for existing workers, but potentially an obstacle for inexperienced or new workers trying to get that first line on their resume.

Indeed, the study showed that fewer new workers entered Seattle’s low-wage labor market compared to the rest of Washington. “Seattle’s minimum wage ordinance appears to have delivered higher pay to experienced workers at the cost of reduced opportunity for the inexperienced,” the study’s authors wrote.

My question is why was Bernie not paying 15dolls that he has been hammaring Other people for not paying? the answer is because he could not afford it.
If Bernie that runs an establishment that is not making profit finds it difficult to pay minimum wage how do you expect companies to pay

BraniacX:
and they can do the american thing, get an extra job, or hasn't trump created millions of high paying jobs again? cheesy
Economics is really not that hard.

So Bernie, who is not making any profit is cutting workers time because paying 15dollars will be a drain on his pocket but you want real business men whose sole motive is profit to hire more workers?
How are they going to pay them?
But the real hypocrisy was that Bernie for all his minimum wage talk crap wasn't even paying it in the first place
Foreign AffairsRe: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by stanech: 12:49pm On Jul 22, 2019
BraniacX:
but he is going to live his talk and pay $15/hour, seriously are you for or against a rise in minimum wage? And where do you get your ridiculous statistics from?
How is this raising minimum wage? He's cutting their work time. So they will eventually ern the same amount of money. Jeez

In order to pay a $15/hr minimum wage for his campaign staffers, Bernie Sanders is cutting their hours

If he implemented his policies on a federal level, 75% of businesses would cut hours & 3.7M jobs would be lost

He knows his ideas are trash yet he still forces them on America

Jaw-dropping numbers from the 24 hours of the day
@realDonaldTrump
announced his re-election campaign:

$24.8 million raised.

Do the math: that’s more than a million dollars an hour for an entire day.

On top of an electric rally in Orlando, this shows huge Trump enthusiasm.

So let me get this straight:

Last Friday, Trump threatens tariffs on Mexico.

He leaves the country for 6 days while the rest of Congress is in DC.

He comes back, and gets a signed agreement with Mexico on helping securing the border.

What exactly does Congress do again?

U.S./Mexico close to a deal to avoid tariffs.

Mexico has proposed sending 6,000 troops to its southern border w/ Guatemala and what sounds like a modified version of a “safe third country” agreement. Unclear how close or if it will satisfy Trump.

Mexico appears to be ramping up enforcement of illegal immigration since Trump issued his tariff threat.

They blocked a 1,000-strong caravan from Central America on Wednesday and started a training program with US Border Patrol on Tuesday

Mueller is a coward.

Ken Starr plainly stated the laws Bill Clinton broke.

Mueller had no case and is too pompous to admit defeat so he clouded the presumption of innocence for a political second bite at the apple.

It would have been simple enough for him to say "we had plenty of evidence and wanted to indict but could not". He didn't say it because those aren't the facts. So he throws around some weak innuendo as a final "kiss" towards Trump and exits for private life. #nothingburger
