It's putting Real Americans™ first silly. Poor librul feminazi SJW gun grabbers like us can suck it and die apparently.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be proof of a pan-Islamic plot and Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand, crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of mentally ill lone wolves who do not represent their professed belief system at all.
The probability of someone secretly participating in homosexual acts is directly proportional to the frequency and loudness of their publicly professed disapproval and/or disgust for homosexuality.
If Donald Trump accuses an individual of malfeasance without evidence, it is almost a certainty either he or someone associated with him has in fact committed that very same malfeasance to a greater degree.

Unions don't count, remember, they're actively working against the interests of working class Americans by keeping them from being employed and harming small business or something, I don't really know.

They're keeping the poor helpless corporations from bringing back the Pinkertons of course.

There are not many Trump scandals. There is one Trump scandal. Singular: the corruption of the American government by the president and his associates, who are using their official power for personal and financial gain rather than for the welfare of the American people, and their attempts to shield that corruption from political consequences, public scrutiny, or legal accountability.

Certainly not pre-packaged reflex driven cynicism that excuses it.
"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

Yes. Losing the right to sue your abusive boss is very awful.

I hope it does. However I fear America will economically collapse before we get to see any significant healing of the damage.

No it won't, because it was from FDR was old, didn't do much and people should instead just quit their jobs and find somewhere else to work to avoid their "abusive" boss.

Economic collapse /=/healing of economic damage.

Finding a new job isn't as easy as you think,. Why should someone have to leave their job because of abuse and have no recourse against them?
