1. There is absolutely nothing un-fucking-believable about it.

Republicans have always been anti union, and anti worker's rights.

Republicans are evil.

Republicans are the greatest threat this country will ever face.

They represent the needs and wants of the 1%.

They hate the 99% !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you are not in the 1% and you vote Republican, you have serious mental issues.

3. Under a Trump Administration every WET Republican dream will be realized...

Just watch as they Ransack this Nation.

4. We're pretty fucked ...

[yuiyoshida]

5. pretty much....

I will say this again, I am so happy to be living in California.

[Kilgore]

14. What will CA do if it does become federal law?

Not trying to be snarky, but it appears CA will have to decide to accept Federal rules or actually seceede. Seems like I see a post several times a week that CA will not go along with the feds.

15. Actually Its already a federal Crime to posses Marijuana

Which is why The US Government often raided places that sold pot, be it for medical use or not, until Obama asked them to stop harassing states where it was passed legally. We know, Trump wants to UN DO everything Obama ever did. Trump may send in Drug Enforcement Agency Agents to make arrests of store owners and distributors. That will cost the Federal Government much money to do so. All of those employees to pay, leg work and paper work. It would be best if they just allowed the States to deal with it as they see fit. If the law passed in a State they should let it be, however, we know how Republicans love to be assholes.

If the do decide to enforce the law, the drugs will go underground again, and their War on Drugs will fail.

2. This election will have severe consequences.

I'm so infuriated by the Democratic Party. I'm absolutely frightened by the Republican Party, and I don't scare easily. I have a very bad feeling about what lies ahead in the next four years. I just hope we are able to mitigate any damage done by the Trump Junta. I hope Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren et al. can defend us.

20. I blame the Trump voters

they have ZERO CLUE what they have really done

[world wide wally]

22. Got that right!

[Norbert]

6. I knew a national Right to Work for Peanuts would be put forth

She better money up for 2018. She is going to need it. Every union is going to contribute heavily to her opponents campaign to put her in the unemployment line right behind that sociopathic ex-governor.

[barbtries]

7. no surprise here.

she's a republican, right? they'd happily throw out the child work laws, the 40 hour week, hell they'd return to slavery if they could.

[Judi Lynn]

21. In a heartbeat. They have no decency, character, no respect for human beings.

8. I keep telling you guys

what Walker has done to us in WI will now be done to the entire country.

[MBS]

17. yeah.

[TreasonousBastard]

9. Good God Almighty!

These remarks should come as no surprise to anyone who has followed Foxx’s rise to power. As a Congresswomen for the last 12 years, she has accumulated a dismal 9% rating from the AFL-CIO. In the past, she has attacked the Obama administration for their oversight of for-profit colleges, has said that the National Labor Relations Act “is a 1930s law that should never have been passed, and is a big problem,” and co-chaired the Republican platform committee which included a call for a National Right to Work (for less) law. She has also voted against relief funding for Katrina victims, wants to repeal birthright citizenship and has said that we have more to fear from Obamacare then we do from terrorism. Foxx has a long history of making outlandish statements. In 2009, when Congress was debating the Matthew Shepard hate crimes bill, she said on the floor of the House that it was a hoax that Matthew Shepard was killed because he was gay. All official reports from the crime scene reported it as a hate crime.

10. No Surprise

The working class folks are, or should be, realizing they got conned again. But they are not bright enough I guess to not get shaken down again and again.

If we still have elections going forward I would hope reaiity would seep through to their minds.

11. Here we go...

[mercuryblues]

12. Ginny Foxx

of the Tar baby fame.

F.ing stupid piece of shit. Do they even pay attention to what they say?

She claims unions are no longer needed because laws are now in place to protect workers, but the 1st thing they will do when Trump takes office is to nullify those laws.

This should be a campaign commercial for her opponent as proof they are not for the middle class or any hourly employee.

[Sherman A1]

13. I noted that in the article

that she wants to repeal or change the very laws that she claims protect workers.....

The logic is mesmerizing..............

[COLGATE4]

16. Foxx has all the intelligence (and charm)

of a box of hammers. With apologies to hammers everywhere.

[potone]

18. She is one of the stupidest members of Congress...

and that is saying something. I honestly don't know how people like her get through life; she does well to get dressed in the morning.

[morganallen]

19. Beyond ridiculous

Who are these people? I wonder how much they will destroy the social safety nets in our country before they are through.

[world wide wally]

23. How many working class Trump voters are saying, "Duh, yeah. What she said" ?
