It is frankly disgusting that President Trump and the Republicans cannot be trusted to keep their word and then seek to blame the fallout on the Democrats. The polls are showing that the voters are not deceived by this treachery. |

Well as Trump himself has said - blame for a shutdown goes to the top - The President. But then again, no one knew being President was so hard.

They protected all the US bankers in 2008 who destroyed the financial system instead to clarify the situation and even sent them to jail. According to him, during a crisis that happened at his time, the Reagan's government sent about 40 directors or managers of banks in jail. We have an almost criminal mafia that took power in the United States. (Video in French) So... are we sure that the Democrats are far better than the Republican... or even Trump? Because according to Charles Gave, the 2008 financial crisis was... a manufactured crisis. And the Democrats didn't send to jail criminal bankers.

The jailing of bankers in the Reagan and Bush senior years was different. The bankers and directors jailed were from small local banks not from the big banks and Wall Street investment banks. The Clintons and all other national political figures have to make deals with the big banks. The big international banks and the central banks of England, France, Germany, China, the European Central Bank, the United States Federal Reserve Bank, and the International Monetary Fund are like a club. Governments can dictate to them and apply pressure, but the banks can also make things very difficult for governments. The Koch brothers, U.S. oil barons, have set up a network of corporations and private individuals that provides campaign funds and advertising for Conservative causes and candidates throughout the United States. The Clintons appear to be latecomers to the political finance and influence game and very much small potatoes. People like Michael Bloomberg and George Soros have a lot more money and have been in the game much longer. The Conservative Republican donors are more numerous and control more wealth, but prefer to operate out of the spotlight. |

Recalls to get around the popular vote?
Another case of Republicans twisting, bending, breaking the law/rules of governance and 'fair play.' Not a good idea, no matter which party was involved. And I certainly do not think that signatures should continue to be allowed if the person who signed changed his/her mind after finding out what the petition was really about...

Pay to Play. (again and again and again...)

(or some such similar chorus like that) anyway... both parties suck. the system isn’t broke, it’s kaput! and the electoral college is an outdated and antiquated joke. seriously, ONE person, ONE vote... how about a “law” saying that if an individual makes more than $30,000 a year, they can’t run for, or be elected to hold office of ANY sort whatsoever? I dunno, I’m dumb. guess I’ll just watch some reruns of “Cannon”. |

When the Whip Comes Down
The Republicans are really pushing their luck. Democrats and progressives control the cities and banking centers. Republicans are A) the minority party and B) concentrated in rural areas. Most execs have trouble working a smartphone. When law and order break down, antifa can execute the skinheads and start tracking down the Republican traitors to the people. If Melania is smart, she'll do Trump herself and flee the country.

Bill Gates just said that the Trump taxes cuts were unfair.
"I should be paying higher taxes" According to him, Trump's taxes are regressive. He's ready to pay higher taxes. How popular is Bill Gates in the US? Wouldn't he be a good candidate and president for the USA? He's an engineer who knows what means to regulate a system to be efficient, not a moron building casinos.

It does take a very special kind of moron to go bankrupt while running casinos. I have known several people who learned the hard way about the house edge built into casino gambling games. If you are lucky, you can play for hours before losing what you are prepared to risk or even win some. In the long run, you will prove to yourself that those fancy casinos don't stay open by sheer luck. |
