I know you're American. You're in the construction business but while extolling the virtues of the working class, you're completely disconnected from the actual laborers at your work

Miguel and Emilio probably have some different opinions on the virtues of the working class than Joe and Danny

(but they're not as far apart as some people might think)

I do actually know them but unlike you, they're not particularly political and real people don't generally have political conversations all that often.

If I recall, your last comment about that was "why aren't you forming a revolutionary vanguard out of construction workers" or something.

I worked construction for 5 years and would still be doing it if my current maintenance opportunity hadn't come up. The running theme was "well Hillary isn't that great of a candidate. We'd rather have Sanders, but Trump is a known conman who stiffs contractors so guys like us don't get paid."

Like these dudes always bitch about "THE MEXICANS" but they also know Republican labor policy will absolutely ruin their lives by undermining unions and shifting more and more tax burdens to the middle class.

Like, even just recently in Indiana, Republicans said we don't have enough money for infrastructure repairs and pushed a gas tax hike. They sure didn't stop the next wave of corporate tax cuts though

Some did. There was a poo poo storm in our local when the business manager sent out a questionnaire with candidates during the primary. Lot of guys felt we should be throwing money at Sanders but the International office was playing the "wait and see" game.

However, something like 10% of the respondents said we should get behind Trump, and a lot of guys were royally pissed that anyone thought Trump was good.

Could be. I didn't have much contact with office guys as just a worker bee wireman. Come in, put in pipe and wire, go home. I've been out of the field for almost a year but the union meetings and closed FB page are always full of discussions on getting more involved with politics - especially at the local level - so the workers' interests are better represented

What matters is the Trump admin's efforts to derail the FBI, grand juries, etc. which over time and in combination will amount to obstruction of justice.

Nixon didn't face impeachment because of the Watergate hotel break-in specifically. It was the other things that happened and developed because of Nixon's paranoia, secrecy and win-at-all-costs personality. But the difference is that Nixon was a highly-skilled political strategist while Trump is impulsive and doesn't understand how the government works.

quote:

President Trump on Friday warned James B. Comey, the former F.B.I. director he fired this week, against leaking anything negative about the president and put the news media on notice that he may cancel future White House briefings.

In a series of early-morning posts on Twitter, Mr. Trump even seemed to suggest that there may be secret tapes of his conversations with Mr. Comey that could be used to counter the former F.B.I. director if necessary. It was not immediately clear whether he meant that literally, or simply hoped to intimidate Mr. Comey into silence.

“James Comey better hope that there are no ‘tapes’ of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press!” Mr. Trump wrote on Twitter.
