Not that these madcap fantasies of widespread anarchy prophesied by Trump supporters should be taken seriously, but to whom it may concern, "the public" seems to believe Trump should cooperate with investigators. A large majority of Americans in both political parties think President Donald Trump should consent to an interview with special counsel Robert Mueller, according to a new poll.
The Monmouth University survey released Thursday found that 71% of Americans think Trump should agree to an interview, including 85% of Democrats, 74% of independents and 51% of Republicans. If Trump does agree to an interview, 82% of respondents think he should do it under oath, including 67% of Republicans. http://time.com/5130558/donald-trump-robert-mueller-interview-oath/

Best Buy is a decent size company. Are they only giving this bonus to employees in the retail department or company wide? I only care about the retail departments. That's what this is all about, right? The little guy? Wasn't that Trump's promise? As far as company wide bonuses go, i.e., corporate bonuses, that's the same old status quo. They've always gotten their bonuses. BTW, isn't Best Buy one of these retailers that rents space within their stores to brand name manufacturers who bring in their own employees? How many actual Best Buy store level employees are there?

Well, Republicans have control of congress now, and you can see how smoothly things are running...
I would have to guess that if Republicans maintain control of congress, absolutely nothing will change. The same freak show will resume, and Hillary will continue to eat her popcorn like the rest of us. The leftist liberal democrats have no understanding of how smooth things are. They are always miserable, they always see the glass half empty, they always play the victim card,they need their safe space,everybody is a racist except for themselves. Even when they are given more jobs, benefits and bonuses they are still not happy. I bet you most of them are on prozac or bipolar medications. Does this sound familiar to you ?

Gimma a break Oakasfan, i clearly told you about apple, google, catepilliar, united technologies, home depot, lowes, and jp morgan just to name a few. those are all legitimate full time jobs. By the way, a lot of the aforementioned companies are not only giving raises but bonuses as well. Trump is a job creating machine. He could very well go down as one of the best presidents in history as far as accomplishments. Then again, all presidents should be judged on accomplishments, not ability to give a good speech.

Okay well I will use the quote function from now on since I was addressing the op I was looking for information not someone's opinion. https://nypost.com/2018/02/02/best-buy-to-give-full-time-workers-1000-bonuses/Part timers get 500 and it is only a 1 time deal for hourly employees which they say is over 100000. It could be severance for the dying retail business it's just easier to order online

How many full time retail workers do you know? I'll bet a decade ago, you maybe knew one or two. If you're old enough to remember the '80s and '70s, I'll bet you knew a handful of people who worked full time in retail. Today? How many? How many people do you know who work full time at a Rite Aid, or a Best Buy, or a Target, or a grocery store, or anything like that? Full. Time. Not 32 hours. Not management. Regular, non-management retail workers. I'll bet for most of you, it's none. The media gets their business information from company spokespeople. The NY Post is reporting that Best Buy is raining cash on its employees right now because....Best Buy's PR people are telling them that.

Oakasfan You are using typical liberal defection tactics. I just gave you a long list of companies that are not only hiring because of the trump tax, but also raising wages and giving bonuses.. apple, google, catepilliar, united technologies, home depot, jp morgan, and goldman sachs.. but yet, you keep mentioning retail as your liberal deflection. With the exception of home depot, none of these are retail !!! What the hell are you talking about. By the way, many blacks get jobs as macdonalds, starbucks, home depot, best buy, and target even though they may be part time. If you have no skills, you cant just start making 100k at apple.
