Official LRC President Donald J Trump Thread

Actually many would. Many companies will also give their employees a pick of national holidays to take off if they do not offer all of them, so a person could pick that one in that case. It would encourage more people to vote. I'm not sure how many more, but it would do that. Also, by making it a national holiday, it puts voting more on the minds of people, and that in and of itself would lead to more voting. More voting hurts Republicans.

Sounds like you agree with McConnell that this is just a power grab.

No. I do not. Obviously this is beneficial to Democrats, but I'm for more people being a part of the political process than fewer, no matter who it helps. McConnell is an ass.

1) I own my own business, and before that I was a manager at a company that gave employees every federal holiday off. I also worked for a woman once upon a time who owned her own business, and she was a liberal political activist who for sure would allow people to take that day off. There are a LOT of companies out there who give their employees excellent benefits, often in lieu of higher pay. Would EVERY company give employees time off? No. Would "many" as I said? Yep.

2) I am not disagreeing that there are other ways to vote. I'm just saying (correctly) that many companies would allow people to take the day off if it were a National Holiday.

3) "I'd wager more people would take the time off and not vote than would vote." I agree with you there, but that doesn't discount what I said. To be clear, what I said was correct, and what you responded with didn't disprove or even challenge what I said.

4) Proof? What a weird comment. More people than would have know of Martin Luther King Jr. because there is a national holiday named for him. Anything that puts a topic in the minds of people every year without fail makes that topic more prevalent, and it would lead to more people voting. Do I have proof of that? Good grief, brother. It's an opinion...but it's the correct one.

5) I wasn't commenting on the goal of a National holiday, just saying that more voting hurts Republicans. You said you agree with that opinion. Do YOU have proof to agree with that? Again...hearkening back to #4...what a weird comment.

You'll have to bring it stronger if I'm to respond to you again.

^ This is not the case. Many workers DO NOT get to pick their days off.

Umm...yes many workers DO get to pick their national holiday days off. Many also do NOT get to. I have worked for two companies in the past that gave six national holiday days off per year, and you got to pick the days you wanted to take, having to work on the ones you didn't. My experience is hardly unique.

That's such a weird phrase. Salt of the Earth will render the land barren, utterly destroying the land's ability to grow anything edible. Enough Salt of the Earth and you'll get mass starvation. Cover the planet with Salt of the Earth and you will cause the extinction of the human species.

So how is Salt of the Earth a good thing?

Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets before you. You are the salt of the earth.

I hear you. Still a weird phrase.

I accept your admission of utter and complete defeat. Certainly that is the only reasonable way to interpret your bizarrely vacuous post.

No, that's not what I meant to say. It's a perfectly appropriate title as it conveys their profession. Whether or not you respect a title is up to you.

No need to confirm. I am quite aware that you meant to say that it is just an inappropriate title. One which is meant to convey a completely unwarranted level of respect upon these folks.

You missed the point.

It is hard to vote for may people. In most states you can only vote on election day.

Most people can't make it to vote on that day.

If there was a holiday on election day voter turnout would be sky high.

"See. In MOST states you have to vote ON election day. " is your claim. I stated that "EVERY state allows voting on election day."

Also of interest, many people, a lot of people, do not get national holidays off from work.

I can't believe that you just keep digging the hole deeper. Your repeated claims that "EVERY state allows voting on election day." has nothing whatsoever to do with what you seem to think you are disputing, "In MOST states you have to vote ON election day."

Do you understand English at all?

You'll respond again.

1) Some. Definitely, many, Your opinion and experience is in the strong minority. Do you give all your workers every federal holiday off?

2) Some companies. Not "many."

3) You're wrong. It would lead to a LOWER voter turnout.

4) Just because something is more prevalent in people's minds does not mean they will take action because of it. It is merely your opinion, but it is an incorrect assumption.

5) Did I say that you were commenting on the goal of a national holiday? No. Learn to comprehend what you read. Yes. I do have proof. Unlike you, I don't throw out wild assumptions without actually having facts to back it up.

You've been thoroughly defeated and humiliated. Move along, son.

Most jobs you get Tgiving and Christmas, that’s about it. To say otherwise is just incorrect. Most Letsrunners also do not have what I would call an average American job.

Making Election Day a national holiday will have very little if no impact for non-federal workers.

I’ll take another paid holiday so go right ahead.

Neither are you:

1) "Many" is irrelevant. We don't know if ANY businesses would close.

3) You assume that "more people would vote." We have not way of knowing if more" people would vote. Perhaps, if it was a national holiday, people would take time off to do personal errands or vacations (nice 4 day weekend). There is a possibility it could lead to LOWER voter turnout.

4) The whole point of putting voting in the minds of people is irrelevant.

5) It does not have to be the intended goal for it to be true. - Did anyone say it was or was not true? Monkeys typing for you?

I accept your admission of utter and complete defeat. Certainly that is the only reasonable way to interpret your bizarrely vacuous post.

Ummmm...ok. You're not weird at all.

Leaked by Defense Attorneys working for Trump associates..aka th wrote:

Um....

Key quote...this leak was by a Defense Attorney of one of Trump's close associates. It was not hacked...

"Mueller's office said in a court filing that the FBI had determined their computers had not been hacked. Instead, they said documents posted illegitimately on the web had been provided to one of the defendants in the case, Concord Management and Consulting, LLC."

FFS! This is nuts.

What the hell kind of jobs do you people have? Just Thanksgiving and Christmas?! I've NEVER had a job where that was true, and that is not true for ANY of the US companies I consult for. Any of you people who work for someone else should seriously consider getting another job if that is your situation.

There are 10 US Federal Holidays:

New Year's Day

Martin Luther King, Jr.

President's Day

Memorial Day

Independence Day

Labor Day

Columbus Day

Veterans Day

Thanksgiving Day

Christmas Day

MOST people have these days off every year (the 6 most major Federal Holidays):

New Year's Day

Memorial Day

Independence Day

Labor Day

Thanksgiving Day

Christmas Day

Many companies give more than that.

Many companies will also give off Christmas Eve and the day after Thanksgiving.

Again, if you only get Christmas and Thanksgiving off, you need to look for another job.

Umm...yes many workers DO get to pick their national holiday days off. Many also do NOT get to.

Umm.... Most workers are employed by businesses that do not provide a choice of which holidays to take.

That is not a weird phrase.

A weird phrase is, "I need to take a dump." Why would you want to take a dump anyplace except where you left it? Better would be, "I need to leave a dump."

Airlines, police, trains, and more all operate on xMas and tGiving. Also, businesses like Trump's golf courses operate every single holiday. Utilities operate every single day.
