Micro thinks this is going to happen because Democrats are going to gain control of Congress? Except he's trump supporter. donald trump looks down on working people and Micro doesn't seem to be aware of that. I think Micro has some good ideas but is out of touch. He is a wealthy republican. Google says he has $30 million to $35 million.
Thr race for the vacant Michigan Senate seat - between rivals Abdul El-Sayed, a Democrat, and Mike Rogers, a Republican - has seen its fair share of fighting between Rogers, a Trump-backed former congressman, questioned during a debate whether anyone in his Muslim opponent's family might be on a "watchlist". And El-Sayed, who would be the first Muslim member of the US Senate, pushed back strongly. He called Roger’s the Republican "a sock puppet for the Trump administration" and said he was "weak, cowardly and won't stand up until his poll numbers drop
Yeah, and donald has a well known history of ripping off these people. I'd guess Micro has his head buried in the sand about this well known fact. If he did know and acknowledge this fact, he wouldn't support trump.
I used to watch Micro's show "Dirty Jobs". He seemed like a nice guy with some good ideas. Yet he seems to believe that donald trump supports working people, when the opposite is true.
Dervy the mentalist again claims the ability to read DJTs mind.
Has Trump ever witheld payments to contractors? Yes, but withholding payments or disputing bills is a standard business response to work deemed inferior, delayed, or overbilled, and the number of disputes is small relative to the thousands of contracts executed over Trump's career.
But hey, in Democrat post-colial fantasyland, Trump is the capitalist oppressor and can never be in the right. Cuz contractors never overbill for their services or do shoddy/ late work. @@
Not a chance. The other two religions I have no use for are Zionist Judaism and Empire Christianity. Although, I suspect Islam is closer to truth and is less hypocritical than the other two.
My interests are Buddhism, Hinduism, Sikhism, Taoism. American Indian spiritualism has begun to interest me as well.
As for El Sayed, a fully qualified and FAR superior candidate AND human than his Reichwing Fascist opponent.
But they... GIVE THEIR fresh jucy *SURPLUS* (whatever it could be %^)... while "nasty-nasty-wrong" give nothing (like they not invest their time and efforts into most important -- what and how to make)
the Republicans will keep control of the Senate because Vice President JD Vance can break tied votes. - A handful of senators willing to break with their party, including Pennsylvania Democrat John Fetterman and some moderate Republicans, could become kingmakers on key votes. - Debt ceiling and budget battles become more unpredictable because neither party can afford defections, giving a handful of senators the power to shape or delay a deal. Impact: Washington might be gridlocked with a handful of swing senators determining the outcome of fiscal, judicial and political battles. Trump should be able to win Senate confirmation of nominees with Vance's tie-breaking vote, while his tariff, immigration and foreign policies remain largely unchecked.

Gemini's Response...
🤖To provide an objective fact-check of the blogger's statement, the text can be broken down into three distinct claims. Media investigations by major outlets like USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, and Reuters provide extensive context on Donald Trump’s historic commercial real estate practices.
Claim 1: "Withholding payments or disputing bills is a standard business response to work deemed inferior, delayed, or overbilled".
Contextual Cross-Reference: As established by contract law and general commercial practices, businesses do frequently dispute bills over quality, timeline deviations, or clerical overcharges.
However, investigative reporting indicates that Trump’s approach went beyond standard, reactive billing disputes. Veteran investigative journalists and former executives reported a proactive strategy often referred to as "lowballing" or "stiffing".
Reporters found a distinct, calculated pattern where Trump companies routinely pressured contractors to renegotiate agreed-upon contracts for lower amounts -- sometimes refusing to pay the remaining 10% to 15% of a bill after work was already approved and completed.
Claim 2: "The number of disputes is small relative to the thousands of contracts executed over Trump's career".
Mixed/Incomplete: In terms of pure mathematical proportions, Trump's defenders (including his daughter Ivanka Trump) have historically argued that the documented disputes represent a fraction of the thousands of vendors paid on time throughout his 40-year career.
However, the raw volume of formal legal disputes filed against Trump companies is considered exceptionally high compared to developers of a similar scale. Independent reviews of court dockets and casino regulatory filings revealed the following...
• Over 60 civil lawsuits from contractors, small businesses, and employees specifically alleging non-payment for completed work.
• More than 200 mechanic's liens filed by workers and tradespeople against Trump properties to secure unpaid debts.
• During the construction of the Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City, casino commission audits showed that Trump’s company failed to pay 253 subcontractors fully or on time, leaving an estimated $69.5 million in unpaid bills. Many of these "mom-and-pop" businesses eventually accepted fractions of what they were owed to avoid bankruptcy.
Claim 3: "Trump only withheld payments for substandard, late, or overbilled work".
Mostly False: Donald Trump has frequently used this defense, stating he only docks pay if a job was "not good," "didn't finish," or was "way late".
The public record directly contradicts this being the exclusive reason. Investigative files document numerous instances where general contractors had already formally approved the subcontractors' work as flawless, yet Trump's corporate office still withheld the final payments. In multiple high-profile cases, the non-payment was driven entirely by corporate cash crunches, bankruptcy restructurings, or aggressive negotiation tactics rather than the objective quality of the contractor's craftsmanship.🛑
I did zero "mind reading". I'm just aware of the facts. And these facts prove donald trump is a deadbeat who didn't pay many of his bills. Because he isn't on the side of workers. To him, blue collar average Joes are people he can push around and steal from. Or they used to be. Now he steals from the taxpayers, news organizations (which phony lawsuits), and anyone else he can extract money from by virtue of being the president. But he still hates working people and takes every opportunity to crush them.
Qtard: GIVE THEIR fresh jucy *SURPLUS* (whatever it could be %^)
"Whatever that could be"? The "surplus" is called "profits". To make profits is the entire reason that FOR PROFIT businesses exist. But Qtard dunno anything about it? Because he is a cretin and is completely unaware of such basic knowledge, yes?
Qtard: ...capitalists -- being some evil shamans -- robbing workers off it.
Yeah, a lot of the time that's true. The capitalists love robbing workers by paying them low wages.
That's why we need unions... they are democracy in the workplace. Similar to how, in government, representatives fight for their constituents, union reps fight for workers. But rightturds hate unions and hate democracy. They think that the wealthy elites should rule and have most of the wealth.
Who knows why? Possibly they think they can be one of the wealthy elites. Due to cretinity. That's obviously the case with Qtard. He's strongly opposed to paying workers fairly. He dunno even what that means or where this money could possibly come from. He is so dumb he dunno even that companies exist to make profits.
Qtard: That think of "wirking firce" being like some kind of mana.
Businesses can exist without workers? Workers are the ONLY reason businesses are able to make profits, dipshit. So, YES, they do think that. Because it's the truth.
Note: They think that about the "working force". There is no such thing as a "wirking firce". Maybe Qtard is talking about something else, though. You can explain what a "wirking firce" is???
Leslie Elden Carpenter III, did your daddy have sex with Adolf Hitler before he boinked your Mama's carcass? You seem to have a piece of Adolf's Meat Tenderloin in you.

Mike Rowe knows that DJT knows that DJT employs thousands of skilled tradesman. It's where "building" come from. Don't you know that?

Another gullible easily manipulated individual. The backbone of trumpism.
Well, once again, El-Sayed is spot on!
El Sayed for Senate!

Abdul the Progressive DSA candidate... gas lighting ignorant dhimmi's like Les into submission to Islam
The Muslim attitude to America s is very similar to what is happening in Iran.
It’s shameful.
Abdul El- Sayid the Progressive DSA candidate is not to be trusted

What is shameful as well as disgusting is the ignorant hateful attitude Reichwing Americans hold about the Islamic spiritual tradition.
Yes, that's what makes you a dupe of the highest order. Yiu're a post-colonial anti-Western oikophobe.
Reichwing hypocrites are not to be trusted. EVER.
That's what gives you so much in common with Abdul the fool.
^^Oikophobia on steroids^^
No wonder Les is such a big El-Sayed supporter. He wears his neo-racism on his sleeve.
I wear truth on my sleeve.
^Ignorance on steroids^^
...and your "truth" is guilt-pride ridden anti-Western neo-racism.
Western cultural pride is the opposite of "ignorance". It comes from actual pride, not guilt-pride (pride in NOT being Western- oikophobia).
Keep telling yourself that mm
//Upon that realization I understood that Karl Marx's analysis, models, and predictions were spot on.
And what YOU know of that "analysis, models, and predictions"???
I tested you, cretin. And found you know perfect ZERO of it.
Yawn.

Magical thinking of Marxists.

And capitalists -- being some evil shamans -- robbing workers off it.
While Socialists -- some fking White Priests??? )))))
Robbing.... errm, milking? %^P
But (promicing to) do it more gently??? ))))))
You tested shit. But failed to identify it was your own.

Yawn.
bs
Profit -- that is result of SELLING product. And not individual, but whole stockpiles of it.
That "surplus"... even Marx himself was UNABLE to explain what it is.
While was precisely CORRECT with what is profit, and how business do generate it.
Why he did not say it like you here, cretin?
Obviously -- because even though deluded, he was not a cretin like you. )))))
//To make profits is the entire reason that FOR PROFIT businesses exist.
Yeah.
And people exist just for eating and mating.

And who is cretin here.
Rethorical question.
Yawn.
//Businesses can exist without workers?
There is no businesses where owner do everything himself?
And who he "robbing"????
When in the end of day he decides what amount of daily revenue... he can take as "salary".
And no family businesses?
And no businesses where people work as individual contractors.
Like home doctors or lawyers.
Also, working professions: masters craftsmans, builders, repair shops and etc.
WHOM they "robbing"??? %^P
And what good to em can give Socialism??? Or unions? Or any of your other cretinic ideas....
Broadcast your ignorance with pride. That way your ignorant filthy fascist Fuhrer trump will be pleased with you.
Enjoy your ignorance, racism, Islamaphobia, and hate for the good
Let's hope the filthy fascist trump has unbreakable gridlock. Rendering his filthy fascist and racist agenda dead on arrival.
trump for the cesspool he belongs in.
A PO racist fascist bullshit is what you have declared yourself to be.
Hey Q, Derpish is worse than a cretin. He's a reincarnation of Joseph Stalin.
Got camels, Leslie?
Leslie Elden Carpenter III, did your daddy have sex with Adolf Hitler before he boinked your Mama's carcass? You seem to have a piece of Adolf's Meat Tenderloin in you.
