I see the NY Times,, as you see Fox News,, so there is a great devide in what is and what is not and that makes the world a dangerous place,, I don't take much stock in any news agency that is taking money from George Soros

- 100kgs of potatoes.
- 126,5kgs of bread, pasta and such.
- 60kgs of fruit.
- 58kgs of meat.
- 210 eggs.
and so on and so forth.

The labour code states that the minimal wage has to be higher or equal to the living income with that norm being in the federal law, however said federal law was not passed yet and the minimal wage is below the living income.

Yeah, that's pretty much it. A lot of countries are moving towards it, but it's getting it through the legal systems which is a bit of a struggle since it requires a fair bit of tweaking of the economy to make it work right.

Trump to Announce Pick to Fill Supreme Court Vacancy Next Week

He's faster than I thought ... surely Trump can't be serious about telling women what to do with their bodies?

He wouldn't be the first guy to do that.

It doesn't matter whether the intelligence community discredited itself or not.

The point is that President Trump chose to lie about there being no rift between him and the int. community and blamed the media for making it look there was. He could have just not say anything about it when he spoke at Langley.

Your President chose to lie to you as one of his very first things in the office about not just one, but multiple issues. All of which could be pointed as lies the moment he said them.

That is the point.

Getting the feeling that the Trump Administration is taking a stance just like the Bush Jr Admin did in the run up to the Iraq War, either agree with us, or you're unpatriotic. Buy everything coming out of Trumps mouth or you are not a true American. yeah, right,lol Want the truth and nothing but the truth, just take your true facts from Spicer and Conway, only they and Fox news really know what the truth is!!

Is it any more of a lie than telling people that they could keep their doctor?

Lying has been a mainstay of many many presidents. However, the gravity of the lie from each President is and can be concerning.

Now just hold your horses. Joe Biden said everyone should pay more taxes...IT IS YOUR PATRIOTIC DUTY. I guess if I don't pay more taxes I'm not patriotic. So what where you saying about Trump?

I can't believe how fast Trump is going:http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/...b070d8cad57fb4

WASHINGTON― The first bill Congress will debate under President Donald Trump is a sweeping anti-abortion bill that would make the procedure more expensive for women.

Yep! He's going after women's rights to decide what happens to their unborn babies. I can't believe it ... it's surely going to fail. I love babies, but you can't tell a woman what to do after this many years of freedom to do what ever it is they please with their body.

I am pro-life too ... this fight was what that women's march Saturday was all about too and the organizers would not let pro-life women march with them, plus the main organizer was a Muslim. Not good says my early senses ... not to mention the rest of the boat Trump is rocking.

Wow! Just five days already ... I can't wait for spring to come and see how good he's doing.

I guess at the time he didn't think there was a rift,,and your fake news blew it out of porportion,, and yet the Democrats fielded a candidate that lied to Congress and the FBI,, Check Mate ,, mate

How come you weren't this upset when Obama and Hillary lied about Benghazi where 4 Americans died,, to save his butt in the 2012 election,,???

again Check and Mate..

at no time has any of Trumps lies or actions,, as of yet has cause American deaths
