This is how teenagers resolve disputes these days-and unregulated guns help them do it

Why you should fear Trump/Nationalism and what's happening

Only that if FoxNews didn't report it, it simply was because it was likely the same reason few others did. It was not reported because of media bias, but rather, if you read the Reuters and other articles about it, it had nothing to do with Trump or his actions.

How could anyone support this guy (besides White Supremists/Nazi's)?

Posted By Gerald Miller
Rep. Steve King, aka "Put my foot in my mouth again" Rep. from Iowa admitted Republicans today are the same as Nazi's.

King said in an interview yesterday that the groups he’s associated with that are criticized as having neo-Nazi views were more accurately “far right” groups. He specifically cited Austria’s Freedom Party, which was founded by a former Nazi SS officer and is led by Heinz-Christian Strache, who was active in neo-Nazi circles as a youth. 

“If they were in America pushing the platform that they push, they would be Republicans,” King said.

Enough said of the Trump/Nationalist party, formerly known as the GOP. May it rest in peace.

You know you and other right leaning that visit here have one thing in common. When confronted with the truth, you simply discount it and call everyone else crazy.

You are free to think whatever you want of me. It won't change the truth.

Perhaps, you should look in the mirror.

Money talks

Posted By Gerald Miller
Will Rogers said "America has the best politicians money can buy."

Take a look see where the money comes from this election came from for this election cycle and where it goes.

Amazing.  And some, who place bets on both sides about equally. You can also see how the money is spent, either for or against a candidate. Although I have not an analysis, it looks like most of the money is used against candidates, rather than for them (because negative ads work).

Two entities, controlled by one man, contributed more than $88 million dollars to the Republican cause.
That's more than ten percent of the TOTAL amount contributed to Republicans. You think they don't return his calls or give him special treatment?

Another single entity controlled by one man contributed about $42 million to Democratic causes or candidates-around five percent.

So much for one man, one vote.

Today, I wonder what Rogers would say. Probably something like "We want a refund because the rest of us didn't get what they richest people paid for."

But, he makes a good target to go after for Trump's base. That's why he got the honor of being a target of the MEGABomber.

It's the buying of America. I'm not picking sides on who gets the most money as it corrupts both sides.

But, it's the Republicans who refuse to consider any type of Campaign Funding reform, and the Sup. Ct, in the Republican vs. Democrat decision 5-4, in Citizen's United, that continues this travesty.

It would be great if they passed a law that says you can't contribute to any federal or state candidate unless you are a person who can vote for that person.

That would then mean those who get elected actually would be responsive to those who elected them, instead of those that paid to get them elected.

But it also means it would likely take a Constitutional Amendment, and that's never going to happen. The ship will sink way before then.

Guess this one Republican member on Congress is the only one left that has any guts to do the right thing:

Good for him. Too bad none of the others followed suit.

And that's because I share the same values as one decent Republican you don't agree with? If that's the case, I'm more than glad to fall in that category.
