American Tax Payers are War Criminals by weapons aid to Saudi Arabia's Yemeni civilian Holocaust!

January 1, 2019

Saudi Arabia is targeting and killing NON-COMBATANTS IN YEMEN AND WE ARE HELPING THEM COMMIT THIS WAR CRIME!

Worse than the Jewish Holocaust in WWII, a new Holocaust, a USA - Saudi Arabia Holocaust, as Yemini civilians are bombed and starved to death using weapons provided by the United States!

Americans are ignoring the war crimes we support in Yemen.  85,000 children starved and murdered by the Saudi Bombing.

Will Americans ever care about harm to others caused by OUR choices, OUR weapons, ...

Tweety' Wall is NOT National Security! #1 Mexico won't pay, #2 MUCH better security methods exist.

January 3, 2019

Let's go back to 2014 to see what our National Security issues were.  National Security is NOT Border Secutiry, and immigration is NOT a National Security issue!

It might be interesting to note a border Wall and immigration were not National Security issues by the Heritage Foundation view, a strongly conservative information outlets.  They do not include the Wall or mention immigrants. 

The Heritage Foundation report reads like Lockheed or BOEING or Raytheon wrote it.  Defense Contractors...

Trump Wall blocking Government operations gets sillier every day. Israel's is mostly electric fence!

January 3, 2019

Foolish, powerless negotiations . . . the GOP will yield in the argument over Trump's Wall.

Lindsey Graham thinks Trump's most important accomplishment has to the Wall?

The fear mongering and Tribalism promoted by Trump is a bigger threat to American National Security than immigration!

Paying Congress to accomplish NOTHING is the SOCIALISM we fear! Fire unproductive employees NOW!

January 4, 2019

Failed government.  It is the purist form of SOCIALISM for someone to get paid to do nothing.

Fox "Outnumbered" 01-04-2019, Katie Pavlich, "I'm tired of women playing equal pay victim!" Really?

January 4, 2019

I'm stunned at the stupidity of Katie Pavlich on Fox "Outnumbered" Friday, 4 Jan 2019.  Her commentary and advice on the equal pay for equal work was idiotic, brain-dead, DOA!

"Equal pay for equal work"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equal_pay_for_equal_work 

"Equal pay for equal work[1] is the concept of labor rights that individuals in the same workplace be given equal pay.[1] It is most commonly used in the context of sexual discrimination, in relation to the gender pay gap. Equal pay...

Socialism bad? But we have Social Security, Medicare, MANY SUBSIDIES, rich get tax+bank breaks.

January 6, 2019

Americans hate and love Socialism.  There is a lot of BS about any new ideas for socialist programs, but are the socialist ideas floating in 2019 as bad as the propaganda?  Are the 2019 socialist ideas taking from the rich to give to the poor in extravagant ways, sever ways, unfair ways? 

America has Social Security, Medicare, government provides many, MANY SUBSIDIES as the cartoon shows, and the rich in this country get special tax breaks and banks treat them like Royal Partners.

FACT: Election fraud is not Voter fraud, one is tampering by a candidate, the other is one person.

January 6, 2019

Does the GOP embrace Democracy, or would they rather control Democracy?  Is voter fraud real?  If voter fraud were significant, would it matter?

"Discussion of news topics with a point of view, including narratives by individuals regarding their own experiences"
Voter fraud isn’t a problem in America. Low turnout is. 
For centuries, voter fraud has been used as an excuse to restrict the vote.

Win business by arresting the competition, ban the better product? Canada afraid of China's 5G!

January 6, 2019

Arrest the competition?  Ban better products?  Has Canada gone crazy?  Is the USA crazy? 

 

Trump was blindsided, then word he felt it was stupid!  Then Trump changed his mind . . . no surprise.  Trump thinks arresting Chinese business leaders will be a negotiations chip!

Prison Industrial Complex - cost ~$81B a year, big profits! Is it good for Americans? Are we safer?

January 6, 2019

The US Prison Industrial Complex uses prisoners as source of "slave" labor.

No sane or intelligent person believes we do not incarcerate enough "criminals."  Ideally smart people also know we have a ineffective, inefficient, and often corrupt justice system.

Crime "Justice" System

  1. laws

  2. bias, racism, anger, confused values

  3. arrests

  4. police stereotyping

  5. police corruption

  6. bail profiteering

  7. poverty cycle and few alternatives

Fox / GOP Hypocrisy never ends; Fox News complaining about nasty words from a Dem's mouth is silly!

January 7, 2019

Got a great laugh from Fox today complaining about a potty mouth Dem!

Ironic, wouldn't you say, of any conservative calling out a liberal for saying they are going to get that "Mother F**ker!"?  Since Donald Trump leads the nasty parade their unabashed criticism is ironic at best, but mostly HYPOCRITICAL and FUNNY!

Trump's foul mouth far exceeds this one word expressed by one Democrat.

Russian propaganda techniques are controlling Americans! Trump uses these too. Is he helping Russia?

January 7, 2019

Do we know the truth about anything?  Is Trump helping Russia take our country?

Trump, much of the Fox News programming, Anne Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, Hannity (man with one name), Alex Jones Info Wars, conservative extremists . . . working hard to avoid the truth and lead America down a particular anti-democracy, pro-rich pathway.

NAFTA Unintended Consequences: Mexican unemployment increased, drugs flowed easier, immigration up!

January 8, 2019

Mexico will not pay for the Wall thru the Obama NAFTA, the Trump NAFTA which has not been approved, or any other way.

Pay attention to UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES.  NAFTA was about trade, and it hurt Mexico!

Trump starts defense of the Wall with a Dog Whistle racist trope saying he is wants the Wall for blacks and Mexican immigrants.  Oh, baby.  BS!

Fox: Kellyanne Conway can call reporter smart ass, Senator Tlaib cannot call Trump a Motherf**ker?

January 10, 2019

Kellyanne Conway called CNN's Jim Acosta a smart ass when he responded "alternative facts" to her question whether he will tell the truth.  She snapped.  If you can't take it Kellyanne, don't dish it.

Nice try, Kellyanne, you lose!

Tlaib called Trump a Motherf**ker.  Fox News thought it was terrible to call the Prez a mother**ker.

Hey!  Fox News!  Women are allowed the same as men, and are allowed to swear like men, and swear like sailors too!

National security risk! Trump's promised Wall is NOT more important than our safety. Fence is fine!

January 11, 2019

The only reason Trump cannot yield on his undefined Wall is a campaign promise!  In normal circumstances he would allow the gov to open, and talk BORDER SECURITY!"

Trump definitely does NOT know more than generals if he builds a Wall with our soldiers!  Classic throwing the baby out with the bathwater move!  Declaring an emergency then using tha which protects us from true emergencies, our military to build a Wall that can take years?  Bad move!

Too many questions exist about the Wall to...

Fox News, Tucker Carlson, you are right; US "capitalism" is rigged for the rich. In time, VIOLENCE!

January 11, 2019

We will see if America can avoid the kind of violent revolt by the poor and downcast people as the rigged economy rewards the rich and makes more people poor every year.  Sociologists will tell you that desperate people who have nothing to lose WILL eventually revolt in a violent manner.  And in 2019 our social media will help organize the revolt.

Tucker, here's what one report says you think, and what you say you think.  It sounds like you are reasonably stating the United States economy is...

GOP owned Congress in 2018, Mitch McConnell would not bring approved budget to a vote, fearing Prez!

January 13, 2019

Mitch McConnell is afraid of Donald Trump.

Nevertheless, it is time for Action to open the Government!  Vote on the approved budget, put it on the President's desk, give him five days to sign or Veto it.  

Congress has the power to override Trump's Veto, if he Vetoes it.  Congress can pen the Government!

Time to put the interests and well being of the United States of America and our ~340,000,000 citizens ahead of politics and re-election.

Time to stop all tribalism.
