Figuring Out Who To Vote For Down-Ballot-- Let's Look at PA-01, Bucks County

DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 1 minute ago
The New Dems don't just endorse anyone who asks them for an endorsement and they don't sell endorsements as part of a protection racket the way certain other caucuses do. They vet their candidates very carefully and if they detect any fiscal progressive streak-- BOOM!-- it's over. The New Dems are the dominant part of Congress' Republican wing of the Democratic Party. They're not as bad as Republicans but they are corporately financed and tend to vote with Republicans on economic issues. In other words-- if 2 gays want to get married, it doesn't bother them any more than a woman g... more »

"Heads I Win, Tails You Lose"

*"Heads I Win, Tails You Lose"* by Jeff Thomas "A little-recognized fact about the Russian revolution is that it was financed by US financial and industry leaders, through operatives in the US State Department. On the face of it, this seems absurd, as business interests are presumed to support capitalist, not communist regimes. So let’s have a closer look. The Federal Reserve was incorporated in New York in May of 1914. At that time, the Morgan and Rockefeller interests dominated not only Wall Street, but almost the entire economic structure of the US.

TRUMP DIDN'T NEED QANON, BUT MAYBE THE GOP DID

Steve M. at No More Mister Nice Blog - 4 hours ago
Jeet Heer has a theory about why QAnon rose to prominence: QAnon is a byproduct of the Trump era and is likely to be part of his lasting legacy, long outliving his presidency. QAnon is best understood as a myth that helps Trump supporters reconcile themselves to his manifest flaws as a man and political leader. Trump thrives on negative partisanship, which requires that he be seen as preferable to his rivals. Given numerous reports of his sexual predations and corruption, the only way he can be acceptable is if his foes have committed the worst crimes imaginable. I disagree. Right-... more »
