3 KKK members arrested in murder plot of inmate all were corrections officers.

This is right out of HBO's OZ,,,

Thomas Jordan Driver, 25, David Elliot Moran, 47, and Charles Thomas Newcomb, 42, all face one state count of conspiracy to commit murder for allegedly plotting to kill a former inmate after his release from prison, Bondi's Office said.

According to Bondi's Office, the men are all members of the Traditional American Knights of the Ku Klux Klan.

Driver and Morgan are employees at the Florida Department of Corrections, and Newcomb is a former DOC employee. The defendants plotted the murder as retaliation for a fight between the inmate, who is African American, and Driver, according to Bondi's Office.

Infiltrate the Republican Party, call themselves "Republicans" (when they really aren't), and then destroy the United States from the inside through refusing to govern and choking off any progressive policy that Democrats and Liberals have pushed in order to advance our country.

This is why today's Republicans have no qualms taking month-long vacations and are doing NADA to help the people of this country (corporations still aren't people!) and they do so blatantly. Why? Because they're traitors to these United States, the descendants and sore-losers of the Confederacy.

They're trying their best to force the Confederate States of America on us all. It had been their dream from the get-go. You'll rarely, if ever, hear a Teabagger say United States. They continuously say, "America" (or 'murica&quot because they don't believe in the United States of America. They believe in the Confederate States of America and they're being disingenuous about it, too.

So when you see White (Republican) cops murdering Blacks, Latinos, and "others" at a whim, trying to wave the Confederate flag (which is actually the Confederate battle flag - because they're currently at war with the United States) and saying it's about their heritage (it's not. It's a BATTLE flag, which means they're still at war), and when you see how disproportionately dark-skinned prisoners are in our prisons, and when you hear their "welfare Cadillac queen" lie over and over again, and how they suppress voter's rights in every minority district in every State they have a strong hold on...know that they're working toward replacing the United States of American with the Confederate States of America, and doing so unapologetically and with determination as they traitors they are.

of twisting and mirroring progressive platforms for their hateful, sick, & twisted agenda for revamped legislation and election campaigns.

alec is particularly good at twisting progressive think into slogans for their pacs and campaigns.

in oregon, alec/kochs have several pacs with very slick ads to "protect our forests" and "protect our rivers" - with these very words to name their dot orgs. their extreme right sponsored legislators have just presented legislation (Oregon – HB 3444, HB 3240, and HJM 13) to transfer federal lands (blm, usfs) to the state of oregon with the express purpose of then opening up the 'state owned lands' for sale to private ownership. and then, to allow un restricted and regulation free logging, mining, herbicide chemical spraying from helicopters, etc - and whatever the hell they can think of to make money off the rich, natural resources on current public lands/federal lands.

another recent example of alec/kochs is their effort to get an l-n-g pipeline approved calling it "opportunities for jobs" in oregon - while planning to run the pipeline through watersheds including the rogue river herself to the coast.

they are despicable.
