HOW AMERICA'S BRAINS HAVE BEEN HACKED

_______________________

Has your conservative friend's brain been hacked? Probably so. Click here to understand the dangerous and computer driven propaganda campaign that Russia's perfecting, and America's political conservatives are eating up because it feeds their worst instincts.

YOU KNOW ALL THOSE JOBS TRUMP LIKES TO CLAIM HE CREATED? WELL, HE ACTUALLY DIDN'T CREATE MUCH ...

So ProPublica called around the country to check if Trump's job creation claims are legitimate. If a company said Trump was a contributing factor ProPublica gave Trump credit. Pretty simple. They found that only 797 of the supposed 8.9 million jobs added to the economy - since Trump became president - are attributable to Trump.

So, yeah, that means only .008% of Trump's job creation claims can be viewed as legitimate.

Long story short, Trump doesn't know what he's talking about. 

For the record, this is what Trump likes to claim he (and Ivanka) created ...

HAPPY MAY DAY ... YOUR WORKER RIGHTS DIDN'T COME OUT OF NOWHERE

The United States does not celebrate May Day, or International Worker's Day, on May 1 like the rest of the world. Instead, the U.S. celebrates Labor Day on the first Monday of September. May Day was selected by labor and social democratic groups around the world - including European socialist and communist parties - because it coincided with the Haymarket (Square) Riot in Chicago (May 4, 1886). U.S. interests didn't like the idea of labor groups in America lining up with international labor organizations.

As for the Haymarket Riot in Chicago in 1886, workers were peacefully marching for an 8-hour workday one day after police had killed eight workers, when a bomb exploded. The subsequent riot and gunfire resulted in seven police officers being killed, along with four civilians. Dozens more were wounded.
