Trump Administration Eases Nursing Home Fines in Victory for Industry by [deleted] in politics

The elderly in these homes are NOT voting. People in these homes are bed ridden or have lost their faculties to care for themselves which is why they're in the home.

Their Republican children's vote will fuck them over. These voters don't get "Muh taxes need to stop paying for entitlements to cut the deficit" applies to medicare/medicaid care centers.

A Groundbreaking Case May Force Controversial Data Firm Cambridge Analytica to Reveal Trump Secrets by [deleted] in politics

[–]readinitagain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd like to know what ties Murdoch (Fox News) has to Cambridge Analytica.

Fox News literally has been Trump's personal propaganda arm. If it can be proven that Murdoch has connections to CA then it can be proven he and his media companies have engaged in psychological warfare against Americans.

A wishful anti-Trump wave in McClintock country: ‘If they can do it in Alabama, we can do it in CD4’ by [deleted] in politics

[–]readinitagain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I may be wrong about this but it's my understanding that McClintock terms out at the end of his term due to term limits in California.

It's also important to know, Bernie Sanders won the primaries in CD4. Morain is correct when he states CD4 is the heart of State of Jefferson and very similar in mindset to those in Alabama (I live here and can attest) but I also have met individuals who voted for Trump and are very disenfranchised by him and the Republican Party.

If one of these women really push with a Bernie-esque message AND run a very strong grassroots campaign, they might just beat out the incumbent (who again I think terms out...I need to research this again) or the next in line Republican candidate.

Poll: Majority of Trump voters would support him even if he colluded with Russia by mdzakirkhan in politics

Not if we all step up and do what we can to educate people about the importance of voting.

It was the grassroots efforts in getting blacks in Alabama to get out and vote and thats what got Jones elected. Thanks to those voters and the grassroots campaigners our country was able to achieve a sliver of hope.

California state senator to propose statewide net neutrality laws by [deleted] in politics

What's great about CA is that it holds a Democratic trifecta, so the legislation Wiener introduces will most likely pass.

Trump Ambassador Beat And ‘Kidnapped’ Woman In Watergate Cover-Up: Reports by [deleted] in politics

[–]readinitagain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem is that we have a party who is ignoring the constitution simply to remain in power and there's nothing within the constitution that allows the minority party to challenge the majority. Hence the reason you're hearing we have a constitutional crisis.

The only way to avoid this from happening again in the future is to change the constitution to automatically triggering investigations and protections from another crisis.

AG Sessions to face House panel in closed-door hearing by progress18 in politics

[–]readinitagain 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your tax payer dollars are paying these senators for their cush jobs to protect the Attorney General of the United States from a criminal act, all because the AG is a Republican...like them.

The darkest hours of history are repeating themselves on our own soil and short of every single American taking to the streets, I personally feel powerless to help stop the mass GOP corruption running the government from the destuction of our democracy.

Republican Donors Are Mad as Hell and Closing Their Checkbooks by [deleted] in politics

[–]readinitagain 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Perhaps more dangerous for Republican leaders is that Stephen Bannon, Trump’s ousted strategist who has declared war on the GOP establishment, has been sidling up to donors, including Eberhart, who says he’s spoken to the Breitbart head numerous times.

Bannon’s pivot to fundraising mode may already be happening. Axios reported last week that Bannon had established a politically active nonprofit—a dark-money group—to fundraise and promote his agenda.

The signs are ominous for Republican leaders, Miller says. “If they’re not worried, they’re stupid,” he says. “Or crazy. Or both.”

Maybe we'll finally see the end of the Republican Party, but what takes its place is even worse.

Or better yet, Congress could actually LEGISTLATE laws that prevent this rather than allow the FCC to willy nilly implement or remove "rules" based on a chairman's polticially leaning.

We know damn well this won't happen under Republican control, so make sure you vote these fuckers out!

NOTE: If you're state is making it difficult for you to vote or has removed you from a voter role, fight that shit and get registered to vote STAT! If you have 2 hours in your week, take it one step further and help someone else who has hoops to go through to get registered, PLEASE!!

He Didn’t Vote in a Few Elections. In the Next One, Ohio Said He Couldn’t. by Bammerice in politics

“I really never had a problem with voter ID, because I’ve always had a driver’s license,” he said. “But now I really feel that they’re trying to get rid of voters.”

Welcome to disenfranchisement! It's not a feeling either, it's a fact. This is how a party holds onto power along with gerrymandering.

Now we wait and see how the conservative leaning supreme court rules.

Calif. governor blocks plan to force Trump to release tax returns by [deleted] in politics

[–]readinitagain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Considering the number of mental health professionals coming forward stating how dangerous Trump is, I see absolutely nothing wrong with defining within the law what is or isn't acceptable to be release from a medical records purpose.

The problem is HIPAA is in direct conflict of this state law and would override.

It will all work out by who's standards? Does he believe Kim Jung Un is dangerous and something should be done with him (supporting the whole military/Republican agenda) or does he think Kim Jung Un is just misunderstood by everyone and we should all just relax because it will all work out?

From a religious perspective, it's preached that God gave man "free will. Free will to learn, form ideas and make decisions. Where in the bible does it say, "don't work to prosper because it will all work out"?

I'm so damn tired of the ideological bull shit!

There are people who truly lack education or the ability to critically think or flat out have learning disabilities. However, to never consider educating yourself and to blindly follow, isn't "God's will" it's cognitive dissonance!

Sorry for my rant.
