    Why don't you see me as much on national TV talking about ethics in the White House? Ask . He's doing something right. There have been slip ups, but this White House is a 1000% improvement over what we had before. Let's keep it up.

    Ignoring an impassioned plea from its student representative, U. of Minnesota Board of Regents voted the President a pay raise to about $1 million, over five times the Governor's pay. Some students drop out for lack of money. Others go hungry. Not right.

    The Republican Party is now nothing more than a cash cow for Donald Trump, even though personal use of campaign funds is forbidden under federal law. Yet another MAGA scam. R.N.C. Is Said to Agree to Pay Up to $1.6 Million of Trump’s Personal Legal Bills

    The labor unions are here too. Obviously there’s not much “performance pay” for clerical workers, many of whom don’t make a living wage.

    I’m sitting in a meeting of the University of Minnesota Board of Regents voting on a provision of the President’s compensation. When asked if the provision was constitutional the General Counsel testified that he was not sure because he “hadn’t done my homework.” This is nuts.

    Sulfide mining companies controlled by foreign billionaires are playing this "divide and conquer" game with environmentalist in Minnesota too, saying we must put the Boundary Waters and Lake Superior at risk to get metals for electric vehicles. It's BS.

    It is outrageous that the President is benefiting from a raise in pay while so many students struggle to make their ends meet because of low wages. It's time this stops. Sign the petition.

    The Minnesota Student Association opposes the Board of Regents proposal to raise the President’s pay. At a time when students are struggling to make ends meet amidst the pandemic, this proposal is antithetical to the University’s land grant standing and should be rejected.

    Agreed. The President of the University already makes four times the pay of the Governor. Students are struggling as tuition soars. Enough is enough.

    For scammers big and small, attacking "cancel culture", big tech and "Fake News Press" is a money maker. Using false pretenses to raise money is fraud. If securities are involved, it's securities fraud. A Surge in Trading Preceded Trump’s SPAC Deal
