We can't end the wars or have universal health care or elect politicians that represent us because then Putin will win

If I had a bridge, I'd be king of my neighborhood. I could place it over my rotten neighbors houses so they get no sunlight. I could drop water balloons off the bridge whenever they tried to have outdoor parties. It would be really, really cool. So how much is this bridge? I could probably swing $100 to $150.

Billionaire Threatens Democratic Party

Discussion in 'Politics and News' started by bshole, Nov 13, 2017.

This is about as stone cold as you can get. This wealthy fucker has the balls to say that if the Democratic Party mentions the wealthy in a negative way again he will cut off all funding. My response, go *** yourself. People like you are a virus, You are the worst humans in America and you have hollowed us out with your filthy politician buying money. Why do you get to talk personally with our leaders you piece of shit?

“I’ve talked to [Senate Minority Leader Chuck] Schumer, I’ve talked to [Senator Ron] Wyden, I’ve talked to [House Minority Leader Nancy] Pelosi, and I said, ‘If you use the term billionaires again, I’m done,’”
:
“We all want to do well. And we should be the party of doing well. We should be a party of business and leadership.”
:
“It is very, very disturbing when I hear the ‘millionaire’ and ‘billionaire’ word and I’ve told them to stop it, knock it off, I’ve made it very clear, I’ll cut your money off and others will do the same. We’ve had enough.”
:
“It’s fractured, it’s broken. We need a new brand,” ...

Sounds more like a fait accompli than a public threat at that point, doesn't it?

Dunno if this is the same guy, same sort of thuggish language to 'his employees'...

MSNBC host: “People say they can’t stand the rich but everyone wants to be rich.”

Cloobeck: "I told Pelosi and Schumer, if you attack the rich I'll cut you off!"

Could this be why the Electoral College switched from the Mad Bomber to Trump - when these authoritarian, Party-controlling billionaires/multi-millionaires did? Gee, I wonder...

Trump’s Electoral College Victory Ranks 46th in 58 Elections

President Donald J. Trump has claimed he won the electoral vote in a “landslide,” but he ranks below most presidents in the electoral vote and popular vote margins. ...

The Electoral College Meets Monday. Here’s What to Expect.

By EMMARIE HUETTEMAN DEC. 18, 2016

... These meetings of the Electoral College, convened in every state and the District of Columbia just shy of six weeks after Election Day, have long been little more than a formality.

But the victory of President-elect Donald J. Trump, who lost the popular vote but is projected to win the most electoral votes, has thrust the Electoral College into the spotlight once more. The conclusion of American intelligence agencies that Russia tried to intervene in the election to harm Hillary Clinton’s campaign has only intensified the focus in recent days.

President Obama on Friday described the Electoral College — originally a compromise between those who wanted Congress to choose the president and those who favored a popular vote — as a “ vestige.” ...

I'd suspect rather that the (oft-cheated) popular vote in (rigged) elections is evidently regarded as a "vestige".

But if Hillary actually got more votes - and by all accounts had the Electoral College votes captured even prior to the nomination actually beginning, if I recall correctly, with the corporate media counting these in with the public votes all the way along during the nomination,) despite however many millions of Americans turning into 'Russian propagandists' based on her record, attitude, corruption, behaviours, policies and... much too long a list to repeat here, why would the Electoral College she'd already predominately captured decide to vote against her - and how did Super-Putin The Magically Ubiquitous manage to influence the Electoral College against her? Was he responsible for the billionaires firing the Dems as well?

There is no evidence of a hack at the DNC. The only evidence we have is that the emails were copied to a thumb drive plugged into a computer inside the DNC at about 6PM.

There is no evidence of collusion. None whatsoever. The American people elected that imbecile all by themselves because the Democrats were running a candidate too loathsome to consider.

I notice that the Deep State at the Agencies and the State Department are doubling down of their manufactured foolishness because there's nowhere else for them to go.

We have a failed state, here, people. We're just going through the motions, now, trying to act normal.
