My communist friend told me that Democrats and Replicans are equally the greatest two capitalist lie factories yet conceived in human history.

That said, he agrees with Democrats on gun control, abortion, welfare, education, healthcare, labor, and foreign policy.

He said Fox, CNN, Breitbart, and BuzzFeed have all been corrupted by capitalism.

That said, he watches CNN.

ALPA doesn’t appear to be worried...

Trump won’t sign it ....not in the national security interests of the USA. Then consider economic impact a close second.

I do think it should be illegal for a foreign country, entity, or company to lobby for anything in the USA. Naturally foreign ownership of critical infrastructure, economic centers of gravity and interstate commerce and DoD opetations is also bad. No way CRAF operators should be beholding to foreign powers and governments.

If the Chicago mercantile exchange can’t be owned by the Chinese, then this billi is DOA.

Purpose of the email was to drum up campaign contributions to Dan... nothing more. Funny part is that its against the law for a union to use union funds (they can use PAC funds) to push a candidate for office.

You see a lot of written and verbal support for Dan from MEC/LECs... but where are the emails supporting the other United Pilot running for Congress (I can't even tell you his name because I've never seen any ALPA emails for him)... important note is the other United Pilot running happens to be a Conservative.

Well that, and to show us what Republican lawmakers can and do dream up to destroy unions and the working man in favor of corporations and 'free markets'. This is a perfect example.

Well, that shows us what “Democrat” lawmakers can and do dream up to destroy the common mans income in favor of illegals and ‘welfare recipients’. This is a perfect example.

Funny how a few word changes show the other side of the story.


And I’m wondering like Ugleeual where the support is for the United Pilot that is running as a Republican. We want pilots in these positions so we have a voice correct? Or is that only if they run for a certain party?

Good for labor is a good start, especially organized labor.

We put our faith and money in Democrats and they can’t win elections, so Republicans won’t help us, not because they hate us, but because we’ve been funding their opposition party for the last 80 years.

We got in bed with the losing party.
