Bernie and Hillary Join Forces To Release "Revolutionary" Free College Plan

The Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders campaigns have teamed up to combine the two candidates’ plans to make higher education affordable in a commendable compromise that might finally lead to real change in our country. Since the beginning of the race, both candidates have been determined to fight for affordable college and university tuition, but they have had a few key disagreements. Sanders wanted free tuition for all public colleges, while Clinton focused on refinancing student debt and investing in cheaper forms of higher education. The new plan slashes tuition fees and addresses existing student debt.

Clinton famously criticized Sanders’s plan by saying, “I am not in favor of making college free for Donald Trump’s kids.” In other words, she did not want to introduce universal free tuition because it would amount to a government subsidy for the rich who don’t need one.

Now Clinton has adopted some of Sanders’s free tuition pledges; she will make tuition free for around 80% of Americans but introduce an income cap on free tuition so the richest Americans still have to pay “by making in-state colleges and university free for students from families making $85,000 a year or less. That income threshold would then climb by $10,000 a year until 2021, when in-state schools would then be free to all families who make $125,000 or less.” She reiterated her original promises to close tax loopholes and use the $350 billion saved over a ten year period to refinance student debt to unprecedented low interest rates. She also says she will make it impossible for the government to profit off of student loans.

Hillary Clinton Statement on The Death of Alton Sterling.

"The death of Alton Sterling is a tragedy, and my prayers are with his family, including his five children. From Staten Island to Baltimore, Ferguson to Baton Rouge, too many African American families mourn the loss of a loved one from a police-involved incident. Something is profoundly wrong when so many Americans have reason to believe that our country doesn’t consider them as precious as others because of the color of their skin.

I am glad the Department of Justice has agreed to a full and thorough review of this shooting. Incidents like this one have undermined the trust between police departments and the communities they serve. We need to rebuild that trust. We need to ensure justice is served. That begins with common sense reforms like ending racial profiling, providing better training on de-escalation and implicit bias, and supporting municipalities that refer the investigation and prosecution of police-involved deaths to independent bodies. All over America, there are police officers demonstrating how to protect the public without resorting to unnecessary force. We need to learn from and build on those examples.

Progress is possible if we stand together and never waver in our fight to secure the future that every American deserves."

- Hillary Clinton

SLANDER. Father-in-law of pig who murdered Alton Sterling slams black protesters.

James Durdin, the father in law of Blane Salamoni, one of the officers in question, criticized Sterling for the shooting, alleging he drew a gun on the officers, though the heartless SOB will not say whether or not he watched the video of the confrontation. "It burns you-know-what when it's - usually black people - that try to make an agenda out of this." He said.

Well, maybe, you slimy ball of worthless hoarse shit, the agenda is the idea that African Americans should not be slaughtered by those who promise to protect and serve.

Alton Sterling MURDERED. A video that should disgust the nation.

Last night at midnight in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, a 37 year old father of 5 named Alton Sterling was murdered by two pigs...I mean... Police officers, after they supposedly responded to a call about a man outside of a local convenient store acting suspicious. Sterling frequented this convenient store and sold CDs outside, known by locals as "The CD Man", that's what he was doing the night of July 5th 2016 when he was confronted by the two police officers. It was claimed that the officers were responding to a 911 call about a man matching Sterling's description who had threatened someone with a gun, but store owner Abdullah Muflahi, who witnessed the entire ordeal, said he saw no such thing. "Just five minutes before (the police arrived), he walked into the store getting something to drink, (and we were) calling each other names." Muflahi had said. Muflahi also said that Sterling had begun carrying a weapon (Louisiana is an open carry state) after a friend of his was robbed. In the blur of a few minutes police officers arrived to confront Sterling, as always, the situation escalated (though it is not clear why) and the officers wrestled Sterling to the ground. On top of him, one of the officers yelled "Gun, gun! Hes got a gun." The other officer yelled "I swear to god!" as he drew his weapon and shot sterling six times, point-blank range, in the back and chest. He is dead. This was murder, nothing less. There is no reason to this moment, why that man should be dead. He was a father of five and is described as a "gentle giant" by those who loved him. These officers deserve punishment. Below I am posting the video of the brutal murder of this man. (TRIGGER/GRAPHIC WARNING)

Trump has whiny temper tantrum on Twitter after Hillary doesn't face charges.

As Bill Maher calls him "whiny little bitch" Trump as usual.

Donald Trump is not taking the news well that Hillary Clinton will not face criminal charges over her use of private email. He is verbally lying on the floor screaming and kicking in an all-out tantrum. The Republican presumed nominee is livid that the FBI is not indicting Hillary Clinton over using her private email server.

When FBI director James Comey addressed the Department of Justice, he said that the FBI’s investigation into Clinton’s server was “thorough and unbiased,” but the bureau’s investigation is not the end of the debate. Trump’s tweets indicate that the conversation is going to continue all the way to the November elections.

Trump is crying that “the system is rigged,” He shouts “General Petreus got in more trouble for far less.” He screams it is all “very very unfair!” and “As usual bad judgment.”


When Progressives say the system is rigged, they are usually talking about the economy, this jackass is making a joke of it.
