Let’s give American labor the same kind of automatic-winner boost that Emperor Constantine gave Christianity to displace paganism (big Christian convert you know). Constantine didn’t persecute pagans or seize their houses of worship — or even persuade them.
Constantine merely gave Christianity freedom to practice plus a self-sustaining economic platform to work from. After that paganism had to lose out: with a pantheon of miscellaneous god figures versus one omnipotent godhead and with no text at all versus a complex running narrative text.
The (hopefully) new blue Congress can just mandate union certification elections on a regular schedule at every private workplace — putting working people on a power par with ownership — and watch our country’s downhill slide because de-unionized turn itself uphill into another democratic (small “d”) winner like Germany. Just set it up and get out of Americans’ way.
This week I’ve been spamming papers (and Teamster Union addresses) across the less dense West: Utah, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona (@sltrib.com, @denverpost.com, abqjournal.com, @arizonarepublic.com, @tucson.com). I’m thinking they have full-scale big city metros but a lot of empty room in between them; thus not such an overwhelming mountain of distracting stories as you find in California — maybe could use a really (super) supped-up hot (very long) running story; especially in the days when dwindling readership is a problem at paper papers.
Proliferating (that’s spreading) the story works in everybody’s favor — except Republicans and the interests they stooge for.

Why Not Hold Union Representation Elections on a Regular Schedule?
Andrew Strom — November 1st, 2017
Another angle is that I tag Strom’s link to the end of everything (like here). A couple of weeks ago a columnist at Urban Milwaukee got Strom’s permission to post his proposal.
If Strom gets enough interested questions from all over the country, maybe he will take his own idea as the winner that it is and get the SEIU to start pushing it hard.
“A lawyer for Stormy Daniels, the adult-film star who says she slept with Donald Trump in 2006, filed a motion Tuesday asking a federal judge for permission to depose Trump. If the motion is successful, Trump would be required to testify under oath about the $130,000 in hush money Daniels received just days before the 2016 presidential election.
“We want to know the truth about what the president knew, when he knew it, and what he did about it,” Daniels’s lawyer Michael Avenatti said Wednesday on CBS This Morning.”
EM, “most drugs”???? Other than yourself who made such a claim? Look again at what CBD claimed in my reverence.
Also, instead of: “You can’t make this stuff up.” Stormy Daniels lawyer is trying to prove what? Sounds more like a team of shake-down artists, and actress and a lawyer are pulling at straws. Even the admit there is little likelihood that the FEC would prosecute the case.
I could care less about Stormy Daniels. My comment is just about the absurdity of the entire situation. Seriously, an LLC in Delaware to pay off this woman using proceeds(the attorney says) from a home equity loan on his house?
Meanwhile, your post says “Build the Wall to help CBD improve its interdictions.”
Almost all interdictions are at walled border stations.
“My comment is just about the absurdity of the entire situation. ”
Yes, which is what I said, yet you come up with “how many more faked or exaggerated issues are you folks going to jump on the band wagon? ”
For the record. Trump is the single most dishonest, creepy, unqualified elected official in the history of the US. He is a total clusterf!ck, and has been his entire silver spoon, racist, draft dodging, debt evading life. His election is one of the lowest points in the history of the US. The damage he will do to this country cannot be measured. If we can survive him and recover in a decade it will be an fen miracle.
And I can tell you, other than the election thing, I decided that more than 30 years ago based on his interactions with some family and many friends.
He was a total jerko!f then, he is one now.
Anyone that voted for him only had two reasons. They are stone cold racists or they are stone cold stupid. They had 4 decades of behavior to judge this, this, this whatever he is.
I see no reason to continue talking about him. Doing so makes my hair hurt.
Crazy thought I had the other day while driving:

Build the Wall to help CBD improve its interdictions. From the 2017 CBD Report: https://www.cbp.gov/sites/default/files/assets/documents/2017-Dec/cbp-border-security-report-fy2017.pdf
Pertinent CBD drug seizure numbers:
“CBP seized
:
1.59 million pounds of marijuana;
273,580 pounds cocaine;
66,617 pounds of methamphetamine;
5,760 pounds of heroin; and
1,485 pounds of fentanyl
While most illicit drug smuggling attempts occur along the Southwest border…”
And you think most drugs come across the border where there is not a wall?
Show your work.
You can’t make this stuff up.

Excuse me. By walled border stations I mean legal access points. Not going to build a whole lot of those on the unwalled border, as it makes no sense.
