Every time the federal minimum wage has been increased, the economy has improved and hiring has gone up, not down. Sanders’ plans are truly gargantuan in scope, and the positive impacts would be correspondingly larger than past increases to the spending power of the working class. I don’t know if Friedman’s figures are accurate, but I do know that…[Read more]

Problem with that is that we still dont really know.  Oh, Bin Laden and his buddies, Al Qaeda – but what about the fact that they were almost all Saudis?  Of course, there’s a lot of weird shit that happened during that time, stuff that makes me suspect a great deal.

In any event, I’m all for holding politicians accountable.  What I…[Read more]

The way the terms “treason” and “traitor” have been thrown around by both Donald Trump and the Vichy Dems has emasculated the meanings from the words. They’ve been abused so much that most Americans don’t even bother to pay attention to the propaganda drivel anymore. By their mutual logic, everybody’s a traitor these days except for maybe this guy:

In general I agree with that, but have a few exceptions.  Capitulation to fascists, and playing nice with them, simply never works in a struggle against fascism.

The fawning, sickening bipartisanship, and constant movement to the right, of the Democratic party from 1988 to 2016, is clear proof of that.  They welcomed the wolf into our h…[Read more]

Oh, that is too funny!

Not by legal definition.  “Aiding and abetting” an enemy of the United States.  What enemies have been declared by Congress?  None.  Not since the second world war I think.  They may be villainous scum, rich pricks, they may betray their constituents on a regular basis – but I think we need to be careful who we call traitor.

Yes, stupid peop…[Read more]

What do the Orcas have to do with this?

As a Boomer I hope I live to see all the improvements and progress brought about by the perfect-in-all-ways younger generations. 

I’m sure the Nazis in the early 30’s got bored with the Communists pointing out Hitler’s hate driven ideas in the early-mid 30’s, too.

Not saying you’re a Nazi, just that there’s never a wrong time to point out the clear and present danger and immediate threat of a hate driven corrupt fascist and that fascist’s hate driven ideas, agenda, and…[Read more]

Last night I was thinking about how, as fascist RW control of the US government continues to grow exponentially, and authoritarian fascism supplants the Constitution as the law of the land, as dictated by the current RW extremist SCOTUS, no dissident/protester/opponent of fascism will be safe from illegal search, seizure, and arrest.

I hope Max…[Read more]

Better living conditions through living wages makes for better adjusted, happier people? Who’d da thunk?

And where were the Democrats on this? Planning and attending their Christmas theme, rubber chicken fund raisers?

Democrats also… they’re not innocent. They’re complicit. They’re traitors and IMCPO, they’re more incideous traitors because they pretended to be something they aren’t. Republicans were very open about what they were doing and how much they hate the average citizen and how corrupt they are.

The two parties joined forces against We The People…[Read more]

Where was rollingstone magazine when Obama was being a traitor? And Bush before him? And Clinton before him?

Because of that, when they say these things, my attitude towards them is “Meh.”

Russia’s shit stinks, just the same as US shit stinks.

Trump is a hateful, corrupt, lying asshole, Putin is a hateful, corrupt, lying asshole.

If the last paragraph in the article becomes reality, I hope I live to see it, because then I will be able to die smiling, knowing that We the People defeated the fascists.

I call them traitors to the whole human race.
