    What’s really sad is that you actually pay attention to the “super left” and their “message”. And it’s obvious that they have gotten into your head. I’m moderate to liberal and those douche bags don’t represent me, so I make the very easy choice to ignore them. I would suggest you do the same. They look stupid enough all by themselves without you or I drawing even more attention to them......that said, I too hate Donald Trump as he does not represent me either. He’s just the flip side of the coin you’re always foaming at the mouth about.

    I think the problem here is social media. It has a way of creating hive minds and giving vocal minorities huge platforms. There are also the trolls and bots to contend with. Best to not make decisions on groups of people based on social media content. In almost every real conversation with my most conservative friends we find that we have a lot in common. 10 minutes on Facebook and I'm ready to join the mob and I hate everyone.

    I consider myself a progressive by the way. My definition is probably different than yours though

    I dunno, I'd have to add Eisenhower and LBJ in there.

    Unlike Donald Trump, who is nowhere to be found. Hasn't been seen for years!

    But right, it makes sense to complain about liberals but not about Trump.

    That's your fantasy and not my wish. I wish you wouldn't speak for me. When not sure, try asking for clarification.

    Employment is up but wages are stagnant. Meanwhile profits are up.

    Wages are stagnant even with what they say is "full employment"

    Why? Tons of reasons. Illegal immigration is a large part of it.

    They are mostly in lawn care and maid service. Some in home remodeling. I don't see a big impact there.

    Did you notice any changes with the VA lately, buddy?

    OHSU was taking care of some of dad's treatment for his prostate cancer and stroke follow-ups. Now, the VA will not allow him to continue seeing his doctors there. All of a sudden, the VA wants their doctors to take over all of his appointments for those issues.

    Have you noticed that with other vets lately?

    Oregon isn't the entire country. What you see and what is really happening are two different things.

    No, haven't noticed any changes. I did have to take an ambulance to OHSU because the VA's intensive care was full up about a year ago. The VA took care of the OHSU bill but they STILL haven't paid the ambulance bill. I got about my 12th notice from the ambulance company asking me to pay the bill. Geez, it's for a service connected condition for crying out loud.

    To sum it up, the medical care is still quite good but the bill paying sucks.

    Got another procedure in early July. I'm hoping all goes well.

    Did I ever tell you I'm a cancer survivor? Yep, not only that but they changed the specification for the treatment of my type of cancer because of my case. I'm free and clear of cancer for about 8 years now so I think I'm in the clear for good.

    More power to ya. Wish more people could have extra money coming in.

    Anyhow, I wouldn't get too used to it because Medicare and Social Security are going to take a hit down the road.

    Since a lot of the illegals do the low paying jobs they can't afford to live amongst the coastal elites. I can drive anywhere in the Vegas valley within about 30-40 minutes. 20 minutes from my house is a huge area filled with them.

    They rent 3 bedroom houses and fill them with 20 people. I bet I could find one with 5 construction work trucks on google earth. Be right back

    I wasn’t gonna get that anyway because I won’t be retiring for 40+ years. In fact, I don’t think I should have it taken out of my check anymore.

    Here. Near Charleston and sloan in east IMG_20180620_180415_01.jpg las vegas. The house I'm showing is probably no more than 1200 sq feet. Zoom in on google earth and scan the area. You'll find more houses with trucks and vans everywhere.
