Wage Hating Burger Czar As Labor Secretary?
In just a two hour span, Donald Trump has completely exposed his whole "I love the workers" routine as just another classic Trump scam.

You need to know this....

The No BS Guide To The Upcoming Jill Stein Recount
It's almost like they have something to hide.
With one Jill Stein-led recount effort already underway in Wisconsin and additional recounts pending in Michigan and Pennsylvania, supporters of Donald Trump are now taking legal action to stop what they say is a baseless attempt to smear their candidate.
In Pennsylvania, Trump himself has joined up with the local Republican Party to block Jill Stein's request for a recount.
In Wisconsin, Trump Super PACS are doing the dirty work and have asked a federal judge to stop what they say is a violation of due process rights.
Did Carrier Fleece Both Trump & America?
Donald Trump took a victory lap in Indianapolis yesterday afternoon, where he and Vice President elect Mike Pence officially announced a deal to keep 800 Carrier jobs in Indiana.
That's 200 fewer jobs than the 1,000 jobs that Trump initially said the deal would save, but that's kind of besides the point.
Trump's Drain the Swamp Scam Has Been Exposed
Just a few months ago, Donald Trump was saying things about Wall Street and the big banks that sounded, well, downright progressive.
During an appearance on CBS' Face the Nation, for example, he accused the "hedge fund guys," as he put it, "of getting away with murder."
Trump Wants Dissent To Be A Crime...
Another day - another bizarre -- and frankly constitution-defying-- tweet from Donald Trump.

Here's How We Can Really Protect America

Yet during his campaign, Donald Trump openly embraced the idea of slapping tariffs on imported goods.
Pat McCrory is Trying to Steal the DC Governorship!
Republicans tried virtually everything to steal the election in North Carolina.
They used Kris Kobach's Interstate Crosscheck system to throw hundreds of thousands of people off the voter rolls.
Are We Going To Do Away with The Electoral College?
If the United States was a real democracy, Hillary Clinton would be president-elect right now.
So far she has nearly 2 million more votes than Donald Trump, and when all the votes are counted it's expected she'll have won by well over 2 million.
Similarly, Al Gore got a half-million more votes than George W. Bush in 2000.
They Thought They Were Free
Book by Milton Mayer
Review by Thom Hartmann, originally published at buzzflash.com on November 7, 2005.
"They Thought They Were Free" is an intensely personal book for me. Although I was born after Hitler was five years dead, the horrible dance between fascism and democracy has fascinated me since childhood. And, through a series of odd coincidences, my adult life has been heavily intertwined with those of both Nazis and the victims of Hitler's Nazis.
Trump's Cabinet of Deplorables
After he met with President Obama the day after the election and actually behaved himself for more than an hour, some people out there -- people who apparently have not been paying attention for the past year-and-a-half -- began to talk about how Trump might not be that dangerous after all.
The Democrats' New Strategy Against Donald Trump
In the week-and-a-half since election day, there's been a lot of talk about where Democrats need to go next.
Hillary Clinton's loss to Donald Trump was probably the most crushing defeat in Democratic Party history - and a lot of progressives think that they now need to resist the incoming administration at all costs.
Did Trump Just Kill the Paris Climate Deal?
The United States of America might just survive President Donald Trump.
The climate - on the other hand - probably won't.
Right now, world leaders from hundreds of countries are meeting in Marrakech, Morocco to mark the implementation of the Paris climate deal.
