The Audacity of Hypocrisy.



So you desire the support of the Berners, Claire McCaskill, do this and we can talk. First there must be an admission that the primary was stolen from the Berners and from Senator Sanders in 2016 by the DNC and their agents.  California primary and the Nevada caucus among others  and outright removal of whole precincts from the voting rolls  , were vast disasters to our republic, C-span would be a good place to start since the regular media will not want to talk about this. Real Honesty and moral principles. Maybe the fixing of the primary was not such a good Idea.
Second you must come out in front of congress and start the discussion about the Voter disenfranchisement disaster that stole the general election ...the  Kris W. Kobach Interstate Crosscheck program that removed millions of legally registered voters from the rolls, under the guise of voter fraud. Anyone who voted on a provisional ballot almost certainly had their vote stolen or what is called spoiled by  the county clerks or Secretary of states.
Then we can talk about BIG dirty money in elections, both Dem and Republicans. Then we can talk about the support you would like from the Greenie progressives and the Berners for Progress​.
Hillary was just as much of a crook along with much of the DNC in the theft of the 2016 primary election, as the RNC and the Republican insiders are of the theft of the General Election 2016. It is still unlikely that the fraud that Trump says is real will be found. VP Mike Pence was investigated for voter suppression in Indiana.
While the DNC likes to play itself off as for the working people, they still are mostly corporate Dems who are beholden to big money. The DNC considered Bernie unelectable while the people and the progressive movements loved him.

Now the most dangerous team of Republican crooks in recent history along with President Lying Donald are running (DC) the district of criminals. And they are one of the Richest, and most beholden to Wall street and banking interests.

The Republicans scream about States rights,The Tenth Amendment (Amendment X) stating that the federal government possesses only those powers delegated to it by the United States Constitution. All remaining powers are reserved for the states or the people. But the republicans are working on forcing there agenda on the states. Immigration is Federal under article 1 section 8 clause 4 of the US Constitution. It is up to the Feds and congress to regulate immigration. Not up to the states to enforce, and definitely not the Cities to do this. There is no authority for the federal judiciary to redefine the meaning of words, like in the Citizens United  case; when money was defined as a form of free speech! There is no authority in the constitution for the federal government to force the cities or the states to do the jobs that are the responsibility of Congress to regulate. Nor is there authority to coerce local governments with threats, or by withholding funding.
Similar problems of so called states rights on issues like minimum wages, pollution control, coal mining or toxic waste, and Clean water or air.  

The Republicans Refused to have a vote on Merrick Garland , but now insist that Neil Gorsuch as Supreme Court justice must be voted on as soon as possible.
His past decision are terrible. Mostly against workers and regular people and in favor of corporations and banks. See his decision about the Hobby Lobby case for example.

The Republicans cry foul about being spied on for their corruption during the election or even before, but now they have passed legislation to sell your whole internet history.  No respect for the Fourth amendment. No respect for privacy unless it is theirs.

Amendment IV

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Tom Price is an American physician and Republican politician who is currently the newest  United States Secretary of Health and Human Services. A privatization advocate who says he thinks the for profit health industry can do health care for the people best. It is obvious that it is best for the profits of  Tom Price.

Scott Pruitt is now head of the EPA, who only a couple months ago said carbon emissions are not "a primary contributor" to global warming. Why would this guy be put in charge of the EPA after he sued the EPA 14 times. Maybe to protect his big money donors that do the polluting?
