We need a military coup, led by, well I don't know by whom. Are there any
military men with pure hearts who would accomplish it and then turn the
government over to Hillary? I'd be quite willing to settle for Hillary right
now.

Subject: [blind-democracy] electricians sue trumpe
Electricians sue Trump's company, saying they were stiffed on rushed D.C.
hotel job Nick Penzenstadler , USA TODAY In this Jan. 19 photo, police stand

(Photo: John Minchillo, AP) Electricians who rushed work on President Donald
Trump's newly opened hotel in Washington say they are owed more than $2
million, and the contractor has filed a lawsuit to force payment . Freestate
Electrical
filed the suit in D.C. Superior Court alleging Trump's company asked for a
rush order on the hotel before it's soft opening in September and the grand
opening shortly before Election Day to complete fire alarm and electrical
work. Trump's company paid $15 million on the contract, but withheld payment
on the final installment, the lawsuit says. "Acceleration of Freestate's
work required Freestate's crews to work nonstop, seven days per week, 10 to
14
hours per day, for nearly 50 consecutive days," the lawsuit says, adding the
extra work was at the Trump company's direction so that it could open before
the election and get positive press coverage. The lawsuit alleges Trump's
company agreed to pay one third of the remaining bill, which the
electricians
deem "unreasonable. The electrical company formerly filed a lien on the
hotel for unpaid work. "Trump's actions in refusing to pay for work
performed,
after a project has opened, is a repeated practice of the Trump Organization
on various projects; evidencing a typical business practice meant to force
subcontractors to accept 'pennies on the dollar..." the lawsuit alleges.
Attorneys for the electricians also took time in the filing to point out the
confusion
over Trump's continued lease with the General Services Administration. That
2014 lease, attached as an exhibit to the suit and signed by Trump, says "no
elected official of the Government of the United States shall be admitted to
any share or part of this Lease, or to any benefit that may arise therefrom.
Attorneys for the Trump Organization did not immediately return a request
for comment.
