Rachel Maddow couldn’t understand why the months of pro-Clinton propaganda failed to get her candidate into the White House. Rather than realizing that Americans just simply don’t like the Clintons, she decided to blame democracy itself and shamed third-party voters, implying they’re culpable for Trump’s victory. Shameful.
MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow said that third party voters not only “don’t care who becomes president,” but that they cost Hillary Clinton the White House. But the numbers simply don’t add up, and Maddow is angry at the wrong group of people.
Joint Statement from California Legislative Leaders on Result of Presidential Election
SACRAMENTO – California Senate President pro Tempore Kevin de León (D-Los Angeles) and California Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon (D-Paramount) released the following statement on the results of the President election:
Today, we woke up feeling like strangers in a foreign land, because yesterday Americans expressed their views on a pluralistic and democratic society that are clearly inconsistent with the values of the people of California.
We have never been more proud to be Californians.
By a margin in the millions, Californians overwhelmingly rejected politics fueled by resentment, bigotry, and misogyny.
By Madison S. Hughes (11.11.2011, revised 11.10.2013)
Veterans Day, like many if not most American holidays, is a paradoxical celebration at best, a fraud at worst, and intentionally so. Be it known to those who have not “served” in the military, that military personnel are not the heroes the media, and politicians make us out to be. We are simply economic conscripts trying to survive in an oligarchy of which most of us do not realize we are of part.
So, as one celebrates this Veterans Day, think less about the veterans themselves, and more about why we as country continue to have such an unquestioning demand for their inhumane services. For example, one may reflect upon the huge, tax evading, profit driven multinational corporations run by an oligarchy that rules the country that many mistake for a democracy.
Pie thinks he knows who is to blame for the rise of Trump…and you’re not going to like it!
Donald Trump wasn’t the only big winner on election night: Several states passed major ballot measures that are raising eyebrows. Four states voted to both legalize recreational marijuana as well as to increase the minimum wage. Colorado passed a “right to die” law which legalizes assisted suicide in the state and Nebraska voted to repeal their ban on the death penalty. RT America’s Manila Chan has the report.
The Democrats put up a terribly flawed candidate instead of a true Progressive, and they were destroyed in the general election. There’s plenty of blame to go around, but Debbie Wasserman Schultz deserves most of it. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

American voters widely backed loosening marijuana laws across the country on Tuesday, permitting recreational use on both coasts, and dramatically expanding the number of people who can use pot as medicine or just for fun.
