UNLESS AND UNTIL

we make structural changes in our government to make such a concentration of wealth and power and privilege IMPOSSIBLE, here at home.

Then we have to show other nations how to do it. The kind of thing the USA USED to do, before the delusions of Empire took over the American Mind, with liberty and justice for all, and democracy, and public education and public health (remember all that stuff?)...

If anyone doubts, just look at how everybody against a woman's right to choose left Roe v Wade alone...

so well said.

The reality is ...Lies, Cops killing black people and the Oligarchy Way.

K&R

They can keep bringing the TAA up for vote after vote.

Those who are opposed must win every vote.

Those who support need only win one vote.

They hate the spotlight. Where are they now? Why aren't they out there, in great numbers, railing against this defeat? Where are the group photos of proud TPP supporters?
This deal was designed from the get-go to fly under the radar. The Republicans keep riding it, they'll ride it down into the flames. They will not speak up for this deal during their primaries, imo.

What a breath of fresh air to hear him getting out in front and endorsing our party's traditional principles.

Its worth celebrating today,
but I've been disappointed so many times by stuff like this that I have earned a deep cynicism when it comes to our politicians. Lets see what happens next.

There is probably a Weasel Hole or Trap Door that these guys will slip through,
but this is a good news dump for the weekend.

the good side must win the next round...

GO BERNIE, GO

We have to hit them hard every fracking day. Be easier if we had a President that was on our side.

I shouldn't be this excited. Optimistic. I can't explain it. I just can't shake the feeling something is coming.

I am sure I'll be brought back to earth soon enough but right now with Senator Sanders out kicking ass and Pope Francis getting ready to rally the Catholics behind saving Eden from certain destruction..

This haggard and ragged environmentalist is stoking a small fire in his belly and it ain't my acid reflux.
