Barack Obama, on his final visit to Europe, spoke with characteristic detachment that proves why his legacy is one of failure, disappointment, wars and Donald Trump.
Donald Trump is literally considering a fascist federal Muslim registry, straight out of Hitler’s playbook in WWII-era Germany. This is by far one of the most dangerous, grotesque policies Trump has proposed thus far, and everyone in the country must come together to vigorously oppose this shameful, unconstitutional, and downright unethical policy.
President-elect Donald J. Trump has no f*cking clue what he’s doing. He assured voters, however, that his lack of political and military experience won’t be an issue as president because he’s going to surround himself with “the smartest people.” Well, we’re now finding out specifically who might fill some of his cabinet positions. The list includes dingbats such as Sarah Palin, Steven Bannon, Myron Ebell… and his children. We can’t yet confirm whether or not any of his pets will be included in his cabinet.
A priest displayed a basket containing an aborted fetus on Facebook to promote his “pro-life” principles in support of Donald Trump. A majority of Catholics voted for Donald Trump.
The election might be over now, but the Green Party’s presidential candidate, Dr. Jill Stein, left Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump with one last departing gift before ending her campaign. It’s great.
Sitting between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, Harry Belafonte recounted a moving interaction he had with Dr Martin Luther King about how the Democratic party is its own worst enemy.
Harry Belafonte, speaking at a town hall meeting in 2005 with Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, pointed out that moral decay is front and center as victims of poverty are repeatedly hurt by the system.
The Democratic Party’s decision to make Wall Street crony Chuck Schumer the minority leader has led to anger and protests.
So many of you have asked that I repost “How to Talk to Your Uncle Bob over the Holidays” video, given what’s occurred. The point is civility, on both sides.
Voters couldn’t have been clearer in this election—they can’t stand the establishment.
There is a common stereotype that Democrats are by their nature weak and feckless. There was nothing weak about FDR. There was nothing weak about the New Deal or his audacious plan to pack the court. Ralph Nader wasn’t weak when he got Nixon to establish the EPA and OSHA. There was a time when liberals roared like lions.
So, what happened in the meanwhile that turned them into the perpetual losers they are today? Money in politics.
Now, a lot of people know that the Republican Party has been corrupted by their donors and that’s why they defend such outlandish positions as money being speech and corporations having inalienable human rights. But not a lot of people recognize what the money funded on the Democratic side—a political party meant to lose, built to lose.
