I Put In A Call Today To Sen. Mark Kirk's (IL) Office.....

He's a Repug Senator that lost to Dem. Tammy Duckworth and he is now a lame duck.

I tried to appeal to a sense of 'patriotism' and suggested to the person that was handling his calls that - he stand up and be a patriot and join in the call for a bi-partisan investigation of Russian hacking and their influence on the election.

As a lame duck - he really has nothing to lose to do this. He would leave office by making a positive statement calling for this investigation and maybe he might even pull a couple of other Repug senators along with him by joining the call for investigation.

It's Time To Raise This Idea Again About 'Workers Rights', The War Against Unions, & Our Future.....

I posted this back in 2012 - Here's the link: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10022032941

It's about a National Organization of Workers - to provide a lobbying bloc for workers going forward.

There is a seed of an idea here and I hope you take the time to read my original 2012 post and the responses.

In my opinion - we need an organization like this more than ever.

Your comments are appreciated.

I Don't Have Any Kids - But If I Did There Would Be No Way I'd Let Them Join The Military Under A...

Trump presidency. I wouldn't let them fight any Trump wars and given the people he's surrounding himself with - you just know that that is where this is going. He's leading with his chin on purpose. Just waiting for an opportunity when he's the so-called commander in chief to engage.

In this case you wouldn't be fighting and dying for your country - you'd be fighting and dying for Donald Trump.

What Ever Happened To Paul Manafort?....

Didn't he have some Russian ties? Wasn't he axed by the Trump campaign because he brought a bad odor to the campaign? I haven't heard much about him since he was axed as he kind of dropped out of existence and the radar screen.

And today - all of a sudden Ghouliani seems to be personna non grata - does he have Russian ties as well?

Gee - my tinfoil hat is starting to get real tight on my head lately.

Talk About Fake News - Been To A Grocery Store Checkout Aisle Lately?....

Yesterday while waiting to check out at a grocery store I read some of the headline stories in the tabloids. Here are just two of the headlines:

1. Hillary, Bill & Chelsea Indicted

2. President Obama Has 55 Muslim Spies Working In His Administration

I'm paraphrasing these headlines as I don't recall the exact wording - but these stories are obviously fake - but are visible to everyone in line.

Rahm Emanual Met With Trump Today - Gore The Other Day - Help Me Here - I Don't Remember.....

how this went for past president-elects. Is it common that the president-elect summon the other Party's notables for such meetings?

I don't remember such meetings between Obama as president-elect and members of the Repug Party.

On CNN On New Year's Eve - Will Kathy Griffin Go After Trump With A Vengance?......

How will CNN and Anderson Cooper control Griffin? I can't wait to watch the broadcast - because I think Griffin will come loaded for bear with all kinds of Trump barbs.
