Yes, there were laws in place to pay people properly.. not allow big business to run roughshod over employees. Laws that trump has eliminated or lowered. There are MANY more instances. This one, speaks volumes however. Ask me how I know, .... I enforced those rules!
Please elaborate. Are you talking laws, duly crafted, voted upon by both houses of congress and signed by a chief executive or are you talking about regulations created by governmental entities not accountable to the people?
It's important to know the difference because a President cannot unilaterally change a law, but a President may use executive authority to change the influence governmental entities may try to exert upon you or I.

Impeachment......it'd a joyous thing where I live as it seems Mulvaney's testimony is going to divide this society like nothing since the Civil War. (Once any impeachment proceedings start to be clear). Perhaps there is long term hope that this country will split and divide into separate parts that are more harmonious. It's possible there could be possible long term positive consequences here......though after a very chaotic period. Rob
1) In front of which House Committee or Court did Mulvaney testify? Did they drag him in recently?
2) Why would it be a joyous thing to divide our society "like nothing since the Civil War"? I mean, WTF dude.
I don't believe America is fundamentally strong enough to withstand this level of division long term. Perhaps it would be for the best if Ametica split into more homogeneous parts. Rob
How would you do this? Some sort of ethnic cleansing?
Have you looked at the precinct-by-precinct maps of the USA? It's not like there are really huge red and huge blue areas.... We all live side by side with people who are different from us.
This statement betrays a certain innocence of historical perspective. Where are the riots, the strikes, the bombings and lynchings and political killings of yesteryear? People anonymously insulting each other on the internet hardly compares to some of the more rigorous intramural conflicts this country has endured in the past.
Most people in every part of this country go through their daily lives without giving all that much thought to politics. The chance of some great separatist conflict breaking America up into so many Bosnias and Montenegros seems pretty remote to me.
Splitting up this country would be a disaster. Look at how horrible the civil war was. On a related note trump now wants to hold the G7 summit at his resort. Shockingly it was picked from a pool of 20 places. He is getting more brazen about breaking the law.
Hunh?Is there a law against holding a G7 summit in the United States? And at a Trump property?
