What the Fuck was the Russian Ambassador Doing at the Republican Convention ?

The Republican Convention. A number of Trump surrogates met with the Russian Ambassador at the Republican Convention in Cleveland. The only change to the Republican platform was to water down a platform plank that supplied arms to the nationalist in Crimea who were fighting the Russians.

What a fucking coincidence. Then, just before the Democratic Convention, there's a Russian inspired document dump that embarrasses the DNC and causes the chairwoman to resign.

What a fucking coincidence.

Let's put it this way. There is far more empirical and circumstantial evidence that the Trump campaign was in cahoots with Russia to undermine our free election process then there was that Raphael Cruz was involved in the JFK assassination, and Trump believed that.

Last 3 Terrorist Attacks in North America Conducted by White Men

At least 2 of them are Trump supporters.

(1). The Attack at the Mosque in Canada conducted by a French-Canadian separatist who was connected to the right wing in France.

(2). The Trump supporter who killed an Indian national in a Kansas bar, while shouting "get out of my country".

(3). Now, some drunk asshole who plowed into people in New Orleans.

Where's the President's outrage?

Right to Work Defeated in New Hampshire

When New Hampshire voters elected a Republican Governor, a Republican State House and a Republican State Senate, the ingredients for the recipe for a Right to Work state were all in place.

The Senate narrowly voted anti-union and in favor of Right to Work. Governor Sununu was poised to sign it, but today the house voted down the anti-union law, 200 to 177 and voted that it can't be reintroduced during the current term.

New England remains a six state block against anti-union laws.



STATEMENT FROM NH AFL-CIO

For Immediate Release: February 16, 2017


New Hampshire AFL-CIO Reacts to House Vote on “Right to Work”

Concord – Following the House vote on so-called “Right to Work” today, Glenn Brackett, President of the New Hampshire AFL-CIO made the following statement:

“Today a bi-partisan majority confirmed that ‘Right to Work’ is still wrong for New Hampshire, and this vote should be the final nail in the coffin. Across the Granite State, working people stood together against this corporate-backed legislation that would cripple our ability to speak up on the job. We thank the legislators who let workers’ voices rise above special interests’.”

STRING THEM UP!!!!!!!

that's right. The constitution describes treason as a capital offense.

Colluding with a foreign, adversarial government to undermine our most sacred national value, free and fair elections, is high treason.

This is serious and should be treated as such. The evidence is clear that contacts were made with Russian operatives during the election, that Russia hacked a candidate's emails and that of her party. That those hacks directly affected the outcome of the election. That Trump's campaign operatives had numerous illicit contacts with major governmental figures in the Kremlin.

So, to all my Conservative friends who believe in "Original Intent" of the Founding Fathers, here's their original intent for such a crime:

STRING THEM UP!!!!!

Article III, Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution:

Section 3.

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court.

The Congress shall have power to declare the punishment of treason, but no attainder of treason shall work corruption of blood, or forfeiture except during the life of the person attainted.
