All sounds great like so many socialist propositions. Right up until you run out of producers to fund those who only consume. Also, free college etc means people have no skin in the game. Fail, don’t fail who cares I’m not paying. This a very bleak and pessimistic way to think... why are you so worried that folks are going to game the system as opposed to being happy for the folks who’ll benefit from it? The great majority of people who’d be eligible for a free education will use it to better themselves and their families.. Relax I doubt very many recipients become lifetime students at the taxpayers expense.. It's a simplistic black-and-white view of the world: If you give people nothing, they will do something; but if you give them something, they will do nothing. I'm not sure how it's possible to be simultaneously so optimistic and pessimistic about people at the same time.

Your Republican Party nominates clowns like Corey Stewart. Clearly a nominee right up Trump's alley. Corey A. Stewart, the Virginia Republican seeking to unseat Sen. Tim Kaine in November, tried Wednesday to paint the Democrat as a violent left-wing radical by tweeting a photo of Kaine as a young Jesuit missionary in Honduras posing with armed guerrillas. The problem: The image is a fake. Stewart’s campaign spliced an image of Kaine onto a stock picture of a gun-toting group of right-wing contra commandos in Nicaragua in 1987 just after they routed a leftist Sandinista force during that country’s civil war. Stewart, chair of the Prince William Board of County Supervisors, acknowledged the picture was altered, but offered a somewhat confusing defense. “Of course it was photoshopped,” he said. “It was meant to prove a point: that Tim Kaine was a radical leftist back in the ’80s and is a radical leftist today.” (I guess Kaine's "Catholicism [was] showing" when he volunteered with the Jesuits). www.washingtonpost.com/local/dc-politics/photo-shop-fail-corey-stewart-seeks-to-link-sen-tim-kaine-to-radical-left-with-phony-image-of-contra-commandos-in-nicaragua/2018/08/16/7d84fab2-a16a-11e8-b562-1db4209bd992_story.html?utm_term=.93b407c13775

Using money from middle and low income Trump supporters to pay 180k worth of hush money to a well off person who was fired for being unethical is totally something Trump's people would do. That's pretty sad....
If you're referencing the fact that she might go negative when discussing a possible job offer, and salary options, that seems a lot like offering to pay someone to be quiet. Nothing's for free, but based on Lara Trump's description of her job, she wasn't going to have to do much if anything to make 180k a year...

This is troubling. I believe the solution is to give them a tax cut and to loosen regulations protecting against these types of activities...

His account settings are conspiring to silence Conservative voices. Such an amazing grift this is. Pretty hilarious that the guys screaming snowflake at everyone are crying about stuff like this every chance they get while the leader of the party cries on Twitter about whatever he sees on tv every morning.

Are you aware of the fact that Donald Trump is President?

Anyways It’s impossible to find a human on this planet who hasn’t told a lie, but 4,229 lies in less than 2 years is the same as 1 in 8 years? A President telling over 4,000 lies in a year and a half is “nothing new”. Is that your Sunday hot take? Thank you for summarizing how disingenuous this argument is.

Odd how this keeps happening to so many people close to the leader of the Republican Party... I'm sure the reason Trump didn't want people looking into his financial background is because of the "little audit" and not because they would find a lot of criminal activity going on over there..
