President Donald Trump invited Democratic and Republican Congress members to watch him sign a jobs-training bill Tuesday but snubbed the U.S. senator from Scranton who worked hard on the legislation.

......................................................

“While it is disappointing the White House chose to play politics with this bill signing, Sen. Casey is pleased he was able to work in a bipartisan fashion to reauthorize this important legislation for the first time in 12 years, ensuring students and workers have the skills they need to get family-sustaining jobs,” Rhoads said in an emailed statement.

Casey was the bill’s Democratic co-author. The bipartisan bill aims to overhaul education and training for the first time since 2006 for students interested in technical careers.

By all accounts, Casey, a member of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, which oversaw the bill, worked long and hard on the bill. U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tennessee, and the committee chairman, credited Casey for working with Sen. Mike Enzi, R-Wyoming, to come up with a bipartisan compromise............................................

Another Ego rally for Trump to gloat and for #TrumpMob to chant vile slogans tonight. I am hoping cable and networks will NOT cover it.


"Trump is scheduled to campaign at 7 p.m. Thursday at the Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza for U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta, the Hazleton Republican running against Casey for the Senate."

1. What a petty peckerhead Comrade Dirty Donny* is

2. BADGE OF HONOR

The key being that the program was revamped, the bill was drafted and passed Congress, and idjit signed it. THAT is what is important.

3. Trump went ethnic in PA small towns in 2016

Barletta would be the worst Senator, probably worse then Toomey if that is possible

You really have to have hatred in your heart to go out of your way to snub Bob Casey. He has built consensus all over the state, though he is a tad quiet about it.

4. Racist meets racist Thursday in Wilkes-Barre, PA

Congressman Lou Barletta was Mayor of Hazleton before he was a congressman. While he was mayor, he was the 1st mayor in the country to introduce and sign into law local ordinances cracking down against businesses who knowingly hire illegal immigrants. The ACLU sued the city and won. The city felt the debt for a long time. Louie was one of the 1st to back trumpie. So the little boy is just playing his little games. But Senator Casey is the adult here while little donnie and louie play their games. (Sorry but I can't capitalize "little donnie and louie. They don't deserve the rule of grammar/punctuation).

5. This is a guy who went on a victory tour of only states that he "won."

Pettiness comes naturally to him.

7. I looked up "petty" in the dictionary

Here's what I found next to the definition:

8. Stop covering these hate rallies

There is nothing there that anyone needs to see or hear. It’s all the same propaganda over and over again with a bunch of hateful racists and bigots venting their anger at the world.

Can we just ignore the big fat slug and go on with our lives. Honestly, there is nothing to learn from these rallies...nothing at all. If a tree fell in the woods .....

9. Please, some artistic DEM, design and offer for sale the Badge of Honor

for those insulted by Trump. Perhaps, 1st class for those insulted as a person. 2nd class for those insulted by being in a group. For example, Sen. Casey would be eligible to wear the 1st class badge. Global Climate scientists as a group would be eligible to wear the 2nd class badge.

10. Trump clearly outgrew his hands.

For he is truly a small man.

11. Barletta is pretty hated

but held onto his power through gerrymandering. With Trump backing him, his popularity is bound to decrease more.

At least I hope so. PA deserves better than Lou.

12. Comrade Petty does it again...only rump in his ignorance and pettiness comes up w/ these ...

idiotic things that only a child would come up w/. Someone needs to send rump to bed w/o dinner!
