A test for Joe?
Politico, 9-20-2019
" Biden calls for release of Trump's phone call with Ukraine "
" Joe Biden on Friday called on President Donald Trump to make public a July phone call at the center of a report that Trump pressured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to find dirt on the Democratic presidential candidate's family.
"If these reports are true, then there is truly no bottom to President Trump’s willingness to abuse his power and abase our country," Biden said in a statement. "Such clear-cut corruption damages and diminishes our institutions of government by making them tools of a personal political vendetta." "

………………………………
How hard should Joe push this? I say he should grab trump by the balls and not let go. I see the possible Ukrainian situation as a serious test of Joe's strength and leadership skills. Trump's corruption is not only an attack on the Biden family but a serious affront to the institutions of our great nation. What do you say?
The world is watching.

Bernie or Trump?
If the 2020 Presidential election came down to either Bernie Sanders or Donald Trump, and you had to vote for one or the other, who would you vote for?
...just curious...
Is the N.R.A a Domestic Terrorist Organization?
The New York Times, 9-4-2019
" San Francisco Declares the N.R.A. a ‘Domestic Terrorist Organization "
………………..
" In a news release on Wednesday, Ms. Stefani referred to the federal Justice Department’s definition of terrorist activity, which involves the use of a firearm, weapon or dangerous device to endanger the safety of individuals. The definition also includes members of organizations that provide funds, weapons or training to individuals who commit terrorist acts. "
……………….
" “The N.R.A. exists to spread pro-gun propaganda and put weapons in the hands of those who would harm and terrorize us,” Ms. Stefani said in a statement. “Nobody has done more to fan the flames of gun violence than the N.R.A.” "

Moscow Mitch
...McConnell doesn't like "Moscow Mitch"...would "Mass Murder Mitch" be more appropriate?
The Washington Post, 9-3-2019
" How many more names will be added to the list before Mitch McConnell acts on guns? "
………….
" What if there was a mass shooting in the United States not once or twice or four or six times monthly, but every single day, a big one, the kind that electrifies social media and squats for days on Page 1 — would that be enough to move Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell from his insistent inertia on gun safety? Would any volume of bloodshed convince the Kentucky Republican that Congress faces a moral imperative to act? Thirty-eight people were slain in three such shootings in August — in Dayton, Ohio, and El Paso, as well as West Texas — and still Senate Republicans and President Trump refuse to act. "

Should we avoid travel and gatherings for our own personal safety?
CNN, 9-1-2019
" There's 'an active shooter every other week' in the US, FBI agent says "
" "If you look at the numbers, we're looking at an active shooter every other week in this country," said Christopher Combs, special agent in charge of the FBI's San Antonio division. The FBI defines an active shooter as "an individual actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a populated area" like a school, workplace or other public gathering places.
Combs spoke with CNN Sunday about his frustration with the growing number of active shooters, and possible solutions to help prevent the next shooting. "

Republicans have done nothing to make us safe from gun violence. Their intransigence to meaningful gun control legislation has made us less safe. They've even loosened gun laws,

Should we avoid travel and gatherings for our own personal safety?
I mean this seriously...I'm actually considering avoiding anywhere people may gather...
Gun violence and Republican intransigence has and is destroying our country...

Happy Labor Day Weekend!!!
" Labor Day 2019
On September 2, 2019, the U.S. Department of Labor celebrates and honors the greatest worker in the world – the American worker. Labor Day 2019 is the 125th anniversary of Labor Day being celebrated as a national holiday. "
https://www.dol.gov/general/laborday/history
………….…………….
" Labor Day is more than just a Monday holiday marking the end of summer.
At least it should be. For many of us in the union movement, it's a time to hold Labor Day picnics and rallies and often, as this election year, move full-speed ahead in political action on the way to the November elections. It's also a time to reflect on the sacrifices of those U.S. workers who came before us-especially those who lost their lives in the fight for justice at the workplace.
While the radical origins of May Day are not contested, as labor historian David Montgomery notes:
Labor Day is more a complicated affair.
Only the United States celebrates Labor Day in September. Elsewhere around the globe, nations honor workers on May 1-May Day. "

………………………..
" Most people living in the United States know little about the International Workers' Day of May Day. For many others there is an assumption that it is a holiday celebrated in state communist countries like Cuba or the former Soviet Union. Most Americans don't realize that May Day has its origins here in this country and is as "American" as baseball and apple pie, and stemmed from the pre-Christian holiday of Beltane, a celebration of rebirth and fertility. "

Enjoy your holiday, you've earned it!

Republicans to destroy Social Security and Medicare
Washington Examiner, 8-20-2019
" Payroll tax cut would destroy Social Security and Medicare "
" If President Trump actually proposes to cut the payroll tax in order to ward off a recession, Congress ought to ignore the scheme without a second thought.
Several news organizations reported Monday evening that Trump administration officials are considering cutting those taxes in order to stimulate the economy — yes, the same economy that Trump keeps bragging is already supposedly the strongest in history. At least one White House official later denied the plan is under active consideration. Let’s hope he’s right. The idea is a stinker.
The total payroll tax of 15.3%, half paid by employees and half by employers, finances Social Security and Medicare. Both of those retirement funds are already running out of money. "

…………………………..
...we need to increase funding to Social Security and Medicare not cut it...defunding Social Security and Medicare to let it wither on the vine for tax breaks is un-American and something only Republicans would conjure up...
...harming America and the American people seems to be a way of life for Republicans...
...why do they hate America?

When did the Republican Party turn openly fascist?
CNN, 8-17-2017
" Portland protests wind down after 13 arrested and six injured "
…………..
" Saturday morning, before events in Portland had gotten underway, President Donald Trump said "major consideration" was being given to designating Antifa an "organization of domestic terror." He added, "Portland is being watched very closely. Hopefully the Mayor will be able to properly do his job." "
https://www.cnn.com/2019/08/17/us/portland-protests-saturday/index.html
……………………….
...trump and republicans are backing their right-wing, racist, white supremist, neo-nazi supporters by attacking patriotic freedom-loving Americans and Mayor with threats of branding them all as an, "..organization of domestic terror.."....
...ironically, it's the republicans and their fascist comrades which are being the obvious "terrorists" in Portland...
…"Portland is being watched very closely."
...fascist republicans should be watched even closer...
...May God Bless our defending Patriots and all Americans...
...when did the republican party turn openly fascist?
