Sen. Cory Booker and many others oppose Jeff Session as the Attorney General.
Today is the confirmation hearings of the Attorney General. A controversial senator from the state of Alabama is the pick for the position. But his neo-Confederate ties, his past statements and his reaction towards the current issues in a post-Obama America are under fire.
Democrats are determined to fight against Republicans. They may lose this fight after the 113th Session pulled the "nuclear option" when it came to confirmation hearings. The 115th Session will quickly confirm nominees in this Republican controlled senate. They will now have the power to play moves they've longed complained the Democrats done during the eight years of Barack Obama's term.
New Jersey Democratic senator Cory Booker will testify against Alabama Republican senator Jeff Sessions in an attempt to block his nomination as the Attorney General of the United States.
Republicans faced criticism after they said they'll swiftly confirm fuhrer Donald J. Trump's picks for his cabinet and the federal courts.
At the Judiciary Committee, Booker will say that Session's record on civil rights and immigration will not live up to the principles of his predecessors.
The NAACP, the ACLU, many LGBT groups and immigration rights groups are opposing the nomination.
"I'm breaking a pretty long Senate tradition," said Booker when he was on All In with Chris Hayes.
"We've seen Jeff Sessions that's Senator Jeff Sessions --- consistently voting against or speaking out against key ideals of the Voting Rights Act, taking measures to try to block criminal justice reform."
Session was called "a threat to desegregation and the Voting Rights Act" by the NAACP.
The fuhrer and the squinty eyed bigot who he wants as the Attorney General.
So far Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) are strongly opposed to the nomination and will vote against him. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) signaled the same.
Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) and Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) are cautious about Sessions as well. Scott as the only Black senator who votes as a rank-and-file Republican had said that Sessions will get his vote after a "special emphasis". He is going to remind Sessions that his vote will be cast on the answers that are relevant to the current environment.
Given the time of racial and societal unrest, Scott did voice a bit of concern about the nominees.
Republicans demonized Eric Holder and his successor Loretta Lynch. Holder and Lynch are African American and they were attacked on their credentials and race by many agitators. Sessions was one of those agitators.
Fuhrer Trump, vice fuhrer Mike Pence and the beady eyed squinty bigot Jeff Sessions are a match made in Hell.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) resorts back to this Don Quixote nonsense.
Republicans threaten to repeal Obamacare. It may hurt over 30 million who signed up to the healthcare exchanges. The law is controversial. But Republicans still fixated on the past are willing to hurt Americans to please their hateful base of idiots.
We have the fuhrer Donald J. Trump coming to power in mid-January.
President Barack Obama urges Democrats to not lose faith. He says stay strong and fight.
Democrats vow to fight Trump and Republicans all the way.
Kentucky senator and failed Republican presidential candidate Rand Paul pissed off Republicans today. He said that he will support the repeal of the Affordable Healthcare Act only if the law doesn't hurt the budget.
"I won't vote for a terrible budget just to repeal Obamacare," said Paul.
Paul's refusal to support the Republican resolution was not acceptable to him.
"Republicans won the White House. Republicans control the Senate. Republicans control the House. And what will the first order of business be for the new Republican majority? To pass a budget that never balances. To pass a budget that will add $9.7 trillion of new debt over 10 years. Is that really what we campaigned on? Is that really what the Republican Party represents? Our first order of business will be a budget that never balances... and they tell us, 'Oh, but it's not a budget.' If you listen, they tell us, 'Oh, but it's not a budget.' If you listen, they will say, 'No, no, it is a vehicle to repeal Obamacare.' And yet I have the title in front of me. It says a concurrent resolution for the budget of 2017."
The latest accomplishment for a senator with no historical achievements is the grandstanding over principles.
The cautious tale of Republicans fight to repeal President Barack Obama's first term.
Republicans now want to be the grown-ups in room. After nearly 8 years of opposing about 95% of President Barack Obama agenda, Republicans are now eager to rollback the laws that helped stabilize the economy.
This vote on repealing Obamacare could be a dangerous move. If they kick millions off the insurance exchanges, it could lead to insurance providers to raise rates on everyone.
The resolution passed 51 to 48 vote. Republicans will gamble repealing the law without any replacement or alternative.
Republicans begin the 115th term with skepticism and distrust among themselves. They already faced a huge backlash when Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) was trying to get a House vote on rolling back the policies of the Office of Congressional Ethics. He was trying to strip the OCE of its independence and ability to investigate anonymous claims.
The fuhrer warned the Republicans to support the vehicle that helped his victory.
Again I say fuck Donald Trump, Mike Pence, Melania Trump, Rand Paul, Republicans, this white extremist movement they labeled the "alt-right" and those who support them. Fuck this country and the systematic bullshit they masquerade as patriotism.
Iowa man was paralyzed by a cop's bullet after a minor traffic violation. Jerime Mitchell and his wife Bracken (right).
When the controversial billionaire/racist/sexist/pussy grabbing/immature reality television star become your next fuhrer, I bet you money his squinty eyed Attorney General if confirm will not pursue charges against corrupt police officers.
Having a burnt taillight and a pound of weed might end up being a death sentence for a Black man.
Yeah, fleeing an officer was pretty stupid but to use deadly force instead of backing away from a fleeing vehicle is bad training in my opinion, I would not try to stop a vehicle fleeing the scene.
Cedar Rapids Police and Linn County Sheriff are doing an investigation into the shooting of Jerime Mitchell. The Iowa State Police and U.S. Justice Department are also determining if the officer used justifiable force. He was an unarmed motorist.
A routine pull over because of a license plate light led to a Black man being shot three times. He is paralyzed from the waist down. Now his family and the NAACP are demanding answers to why a simple stop could lead to this.
According to Officer Lucas Jones, Jerime struggled with him and his Belgian mulatte partner. Jones and the police dog were on him. Jones activated his door latch to release his police dog. But Jerime managed to slip through and got into his pickup truck.
Cedar Rapids Police are doing damage control after a routine stop turned into a near fatal shooting.
Jones would reach for his service weapon and start popping off while Jerime was driving.
Jerime who is a 37-year old father was being searched for possession of marijuana. Jones was "trying to search" the vehicle with Jerime saying forcible no to the search. Jones claimed that Jerime was the instigator.
Jerime disputes the account, he said that Jones was the aggressor. His supporters and civil rights activists have blasted the prosecutor for the ending the secret grand jury inquiry without obtaining any statement or testimony from him, who is now hospitalized with a bullet lodged in his neck.
The pull over was around 1:17 am. Investigators says Jones initiated the stop because the light bulbs that illuminate the license plate on Jerime's truck were burned out. A minor infraction.
This issue has touched a nerve to the lives of Black men.
Once again, Jones's testimony was more important than the victim's. The grand jury decided to not indict the officer. They also decided to not indict Jerime for the charges of marijuana possession and fleeing and eluding an arresting officer.
Melania Trump getting slammed for ripping off First Lady Michelle Obama's speech in 2008.
The Republican National Convention in Cleveland. Day one went down in history as one of the most angriest I've seen or heard. Donald Trump sure knows how to pick 'em.
I was at work when all the drama happened. I did managed to listen to the circling firing squad of bigots.
Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA), Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR), Sen. Jeff Session (R-AL), Darryl Glenn, Michael Flynn, Marcus Luttrell, David Clarke, Jr. Scott Baio, Rudy Giuliani, Pat Smith, Antonio Sabato, Jr.,and headliner Melania Trump were "Make America Safe" by bashing Hillary Clinton, President Barack Obama, Black Lives Matter, Muslims, and immigrants.
The whole event was controversial.
What was the biggest controversy of the whole event was the allegations that Melania ripped off First Lady Michelle Obama's 2008 speech. The speech the wife of Republican nominee was doing her introduction. Many speculators claim that the words seem oddly similar to the first lady.
Rudy Giuliani raised the bar on Black Lives Matter. He outcrazied David Clarke, Jr., the controversial sheriff of Milwaukee County, Wisconsin with the rhetoric targeting protesters against police brutality as a bunch of racists. Clarke called the movement a terrorist group. The Republicans cheered when the Baltimore police officers got off criminal indictment charges for the death of Freddie Gray.
The delegates who didn't support Donald Trump were none too happy. Their last ditch effort to stop Trump went down in flames. They did a walkout protest against Trump.
Pat Smith and the former Navy Seal Marcus Luttrell accused Obama and Clinton of being murderers.
Sen. Ernst got embarrassed. After Melania finished her speech, attendees bounced. Ernst got to speak to an nearly empty arena. It was a big flub for her.
Baio, a washed up celebrity in his own right had an opportunity to trash Clinton and Obama by calling them out for giving moochers "free stuff". Dog whistle rhetoric. He also slammed Clinton in an offensive meme. It labeled her a cunt.
I will give you the most controversial parts of the RNC Day 1
Freshman senator Joni Ernst of Iowa is being vetted by the Donald Trump presidential campaign.
The senator along with freshman senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas are in the running of being Trump's running mate.
Ernst went to Fox News to say that she's had a good conversation.
"I will continue to share my insights with Donald about the need to strengthen our economy, keep our nation safe, and ensure America is always a strong stabilizing force around the globe."
The Iowa senator who did a campaign video about castrating hogs is seriously being vetted. She hasn't accomplished much in one year of being a senator. She's kept a low key profile. I was expecting her to be a bombastic agitator like failed presidential candidates Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY).
Ernst is a retired National Guard lieutenant colonel and veteran of the Iraq war.
Ernst previously endorsed Rubio for president.
Trump is also heading to Indiana. He's talking with Governor Mike Pence. Pence who endorsed Cruz for president is making peace with Trump. Pence who is facing a reelection bid is trying to score some political points by embracing the Republicans presumptive nominee he distanced himself from earlier.
Trump needs a brain to move his body.
Pence faced a backlash after he passed a religious freedom bill that could discriminate against LGBT residents of Indiana. He looks the other way when Indiana mosques are firebombed and Rep. Andre Carson (D-IN) is being slandered by agitators for being a "ISIS-sympathizer".
Spokesman Marc Lotter said that Ernst and Pence will do all they can to help Trump win.
Also on the Trump veepstakes is Newt Gingrich, the former House Speaker who is a washed up politico. Gingrich ran for president in 2012. Chris Christie, the failed 2016 presidential candidate is in the running.
Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN), Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) are also on the list of potential Trump veeps.
One insurgent who isn't showing up for the Republican National Convention is Utah's Mia Love.
Love who is the first woman and African American elected in Utah. She said that she's going to focus on the residents of Utah and skip the convention. Love endorsed Rubio for president.
An Iowa news reporter gets a verbal shout down by a racist.
The Raw Story reports a story that might get your blood boiling. A local news agitator was called a NIGGER by a woman while doing a story. Emmy Victor, and Zachary Hayes were working for an Iowa news station doing a story about an officer involved shooting in the area when one of the residents came out and starting shouting at her. She told her to get the fuck out of here.
She say that Victor that she was an ugly NIGGER.
The woman's son 28-year-old Michael Disbrowe, was shot and killed by officers after they responded to a complaint that a man was “threatening people with a gun.” Disbrowe reportedly drew a gun from his waistband when confronted by officers, then refused to obey their orders to put the gun down.
The state Division of Criminal Investigation said that Disbrowe then raised the weapon toward the officers and moved toward them, prompting them to shoot. He later died at a local hospital.
The woman was upset. However she was way out of line when she tried to grab the microphone and shield the camera.
KCCI General Manager Brian Sather issued a statement about the attack saying, "The safety of our crews is critically important as they cover stories affecting our communities. This morning Emmy and Zach demonstrated the utmost professionalism in the face of a very difficult, emotionally-charged situation."
Victor and Hayes have press charges against the woman.
One Republican lawmaker believes Harriet Tubman belongs on a food stamp.
Iowa Republican lawmaker tried to block the U.S. Treasury Department decision to have abolitionist and civil rights icon Harriet Tubman from appearing on the $20 U.S. dollar bill.
Rep. Steve King (R-IA) a notorious racial agitator in Congress has openly express frustration with the president and Secretary of Treasury Jack Lew.
CNN reports that King introduced an amendment to bar the Treasury Department from spending any funds to redesign paper money or coin currency.
The amendment would have nullified the Treasury Department's plans to replace the current image of Jackson on the $20 bill with a portrait of Tubman, one of the most prominent abolitionists for her work in the Underground Railroad during the Civil War. She will become the first black woman ever to appear on a U.S. banknote.
Speaking to CNN at the Capitol on Wednesday, King said Tubman's accomplishments didn't measure up to the seventh president.
"As much as she did, she didn't change the course of history," King said.
But King's amendment to block Tubman from the bill won't get a vote in the House.
The House Rules Committee determined Tuesday evening that the amendment had a point of order, meaning it was not in compliance with House rules. The committee will not be taking up the amendment, averting a potentially contentious vote.
Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) and Rep. Steve King (R-IA) are worthless lawmakers. They are apart of this "Freedom Caucus" which supports racially motivated policies.
Iowa Democratic Party Chair Andy McGuire hit King's amendment as an attention-grabbing stunt.
"For King, a Congressman who has based his entire career on hate speech and xenophobic policies, to accuse President Obama of dividing the country is the definition of hypocrisy. The truth is Rep. King is more interested in grabbing headlines than in improving the quality of life for Iowans in the 4th district," McGuire said in a statement.
In 2030, Tubman will appear on the twenty dollar bill. Tubman will replace Andrew Jackson, the 7th President of the United States. Jackson has an ugly legacy as the president and many civil rights leaders praise the decision as a sign of progress.
Back in the day, conservatives were associated with the Democratic Party. They were the party that was in favor of imperialism and slavery. Old Hickory was a notorious cheater on his wife and allowed his buddies into the job.
Conservatives now hang with the Republican Party. King is a proud member of that party. His racism is showing again.
Donald Trump even said that he prefers Tubman on the $2 U.S. dollar bill. Like the asshole he is!
Time to go..! Republicans are extremely bad at what they do.
In the wake of a mass shooting, the Congress continues to be inept.
Congress continues to support terrorism by allowing them access to firearms. The four amendments that could prevent access to firearms if you're on a terrorist watch list failed.
Sens. Jon Tester (D-MT), Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND) and Joe Manchin (D-MT) aided the Republicans in crashing the bills.
The background check amendment failed, the terrorist watch list amendment and the semi automatic weapons ban were dismissed by the senate.
The GOP and those spineless Democrats have once again failed in passing reasonable gun control in the wake of terrorism, mass shootings and grieving families.
Is it time for the voters to dismiss the inept lawmakers?
Sen. Bill Nelson (D-FL) voted for the bills. He said this opportunity missed shows that Congress is totally inept and the National Rifle Association once again wins the battle.
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES. CONGRESS ALLOWS THESE SENSELESS ACTS OF VIOLENCE TO CONTINUE!
I am really tired of the Republicans in control of Congress. They can't pass laws, they stall President Barack Obama's nominees and continue to waste taxpayer money grandstanding.
Dirty politician faces an onslaught of criticism from Pres. Obama, the public and fellow Republicans who fear they may lose in competitive senate races.
Two weeks in and no budging on the Merrick Garland nomination for the Supreme Court.
Republican leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said in the junk food media that the nomination will be for the next president. It's pretty much pissed off the president and the Democrats. President Barack Obama in final year still at work. He may be a lame duck, but he's not sulking about being called that.
His job approval right now sits in the mid 50s.
Obama is still constitutionally entitled to have a nominee confirmed to the Court.
The Democrats are saying that Republicans are inept and they can't govern. They fear the conservative outrage brewing if they give in to the public's demand to nominate a justice to the high court.
The court's swing is somewhat conservative. Now that Antonin Scalia passed away, Republicans feared that Obama's pick for the Supreme Court could swing the court into a progressive direction.
Conservatives are outraged over Sen. Jerry Moran (R-KS) complaining about the senate not holding hearings on Garland.
The Garden City Telegram reported that Moran told a small group gathered in a Cimarron, Kan., courthouse on Monday that GOP senators “should interview Garland and have a hearing on his nomination,” in the paper’s words.
Sen. Jerry Moran (R-KS) warns Republicans that the plan to stop Obama's court pick will backfire.
“I can’t imagine the president has or will nominate somebody that meets my criteria, but I have my job to do,” Moran said, according to the report. “I think the process ought to go forward.”
Another Kansas paper, the Dodge City Daily Globe, reported that Moran was even more explicit in comments to a Rotary Club there: “I think we have the responsibility to have a hearing, to have the conversation and to make a determination on the merit,” he said.
He says that he rather vote against Garland than hold his nomination up. He understands that if a Republican wins the presidency, the Democrats will block nominees for the Court.
The partisan gridlock affecting Washington, DC is pathetic. I mean Mitch McConnell and House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) are worthless politicians and leaders.
The Republicans also trying to cock block a recess appointment to the Court. The president could impose a recess nomination if the Republicans hold firm on their threat.
Here's a poll for you
Should the U.S. Senate confirm Merrick Garland for the Supreme Court?
I really hope that the Senate come to its senses and confirm Obama's nominee.
Guess who blamed #BlackLivesMatters for the death of a Memphis police officer?
It seems like the blame game continues.
In the wake of the tragic murder of a Memphis Metro police officer, the racist right once again blames BlackLivesMatter for the tragic shooting.
Over the weekend, an off duty Memphis officer was heading to work when a man got into a heated confrontation with him. Words were exchanged and then gunfire.
The officer named, Terence Olridge served a year as an officer on the Memphis metro. He was engaged to his girlfriend and was going to be a first time father.
Olridge “was shot multiple times” and taken to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead, Memphis Police director Toney Armstrong said at a news conference on Sunday.
On Monday, the Memphis police said they had charged Lorenzo Clark with being a convicted felon possessing a handgun, charges they said were in connection to the investigation into Olridge’s death.
Olridge was on his way to work when he and Clark, his neighbor, had an encounter that turned violent, the Memphis Police Department said in a statement Monday morning.
Slain Memphis officer Terence Olridge during his swear in session.
“The encounter ended with gunfire exchange between Olridge and Lorenzo Clark,” the department said in the statement. “Officer Olridge was struck by the gunfire from Clark.”
Olridge went back to his home seeking help after the shooting and was taken to Regional One, a Memphis hospital. He later died of his wounds, police said.
Clark surrendered to police at his home.
In the hours after Olridge died, police said few details were immediately available about what happened. On Sunday, Armstrong said that one suspect was taken into custody, but he described the initial information as “very, very sketchy.”
Clark is being held in the Shelby County Lockup on a $100K bond.
That hasn't stop the racist right from blaming Black Lives Matter for the criminal act.
A convicted felon murdered a police officer. He's being held in lockup.
Now that Memphis Metro police caught the suspect, who really deserves the blame for the murder of Terence Olridge?
A) BARACK OBAMA
B) BLACK LIVES MATTER C) NRA D) CONGRESS E) THE SHOOTER
F) ALL OF THESE ABOVE
Okay, if you're blaming the shooter, you're absolutely correct. If you're blaming everyone other than the shooter, you're part of the problem.
The county's most controversial politician said that the “vilification of law enforcement” under the Obama administration is actually dangerous to black lives because if cops are afraid to do their jobs, there’s less policing in areas where African-Americans need it most.
It come from Ted Cruz, one of the 15 clowns running for the Republican nomination.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) represents the reasons to why government sucks. His long shot bid for president is getting much unwanted attention. He take pride in being the most hated man in Congress.
I've dubbed him, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC), Sen. Mike Lee (R-FL), Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) and Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) the Stallmigos.
They literally stall everything in Congress. They refuse to work with the Democrats to get things done.
These insurgent lawmakers are stubborn as hell. These lawmakers believe that if they force President Barack Obama to change direction, they can get what they want. So far it's not working.
World News Today send our condolences to the family of Terence Olridge.
Even though Majority Leader Mitch The Turtle (R-KY) wants the Obamacare (Affordable Care Act) repealed, he's getting even tired of fighting this battle. He is also getting tired of political novices telling him what he needs to do.
President Barack Obama is getting fed up with the inept Congress. His final years in office will be met with great opposition. The president hopes that Americans will see Republicans for what they are. A bunch of ignorant idiots.
The Republicans are infighting and the junk food media finally acknowledging that this rift between the establishment and insurgency has gotten worse.
Things can't get done with this Congress. Many lawmakers believe that the political environment is extremely toxic. Some blame the insurgency for the toxic nature.
The lawmakers spent Sunday trying to pass a transportation bill and a few slip ins.
The slip ins were the repeal of Affordable Care Act for the 60th time. It failed. The defund Planned Parenthood proposal failed. The demand to make Iran recognize Israel or face sanctions failed. The advocating of funds for the Export-Import Bank for the president's trade deal with Asian nations is likely to make it through.
One senator has had enough of it. He blasted the Majority Leader on Friday. It's winning praise from the insurgency.
The establishment is none too happy with it.
Word on the street is that Republican leaders are going to put him in his place. Mitch is going to make them suffer if they can't fall in place.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) is a part of the Stallmigos. He and six other members of the Republican led Senate have openly bucked the party for "giving in" to Obama.
He believes that the Republicans caving in to the Ex-Im Bank proposal. Cruz believes that the Republicans allow crony capitalism to occur.
Cruz went on this tirade.
"[I've taken the Republican leader] at his word. Like St. Peter, he repeated it three times. The only thing I told the proponents of the Export-Import Bank is like any other senator in this body, they could offer any amendment they liked on any amendable vehicle, but I gave them nothing."
To see the so-called Republican leader whip against allowing a vote to defund Planned Parenthood...makes clear that the McConnell-Reid leadership is united in the favor of big government.
The majority leader and minority leader, arm-in-arm again, should not team up against the American taxpayers."
This epic rant was overshadowed by the poll numbers. Cruz is somewhere in the bottom tier.
Stallmigos Rand Paul (R-KY), Marco Rubio (R-FL) and head honcho Cruz are not getting much attention now that Donald Trump sucked the crazy from them. These three clowns are a part of a big tent of contenders. So far there's 16 candidates running.
The junk food media is so focused on Trump, the remaining clowns are jealous and they're doing everything in their power to get the cameras back on them.
Agitators trying to make noise. Hillary Clinton leads in most polls.
Hillary Clinton running a low key campaign and yet it seems like her opposition is so obsessed with her they're actually try to set her up in usual social media gotcha moments.
A fake campaign supporter tried to interrupt Clinton with a selfie. Clinton told the fake supporter to "Get to the back of the line".
Blaring on the conservative Craigslist is this story and the stories about Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Martin O'Malley having big crowds in Iowa. And all the while, this so-called conservative agitating super pac called America Rising is trying to make a scandal where there is none.
They are really trolling Hillary everywhere. They're taking speeches out of context and trying to generate click bait to their mission to stop her from winning.
Say if you're trying to get an autograph from a presidential candidate, don't you have to respect the ones who have an opportunity to be ahead.
This fake supporter's testy exchange of words with Hillary was soon posted on Vine.
And it's been ReVined over 4.4 million times.
Here's a few things you should know about this interaction.
Hillary Clinton has U.S. Secret Service protection for life. She was the former First Lady of the United States and Secretary of State. The person who filmed it and the person who tried to bother Clinton would have been detained.
Hillary Clinton is leading in most national polls against the Democratic challengers and Republicans.
The conservatives have a Clinton Obsession. They continue to revisit the past in order to distract the public from the Republican leadership's failure to pass legislation.
If you ask Scott Walker, John Kasich and Chris Christie what they've done as governors, I bet you couldn't tell a partisan agitator. The agitators are obsessed with asking Hillary supporters her latest accomplishments.
Like with most people in the media, is it best to ignore them?
This is much to do about nothing.
But since she's the ringmaster of the circus, the clowns are trying to find ways to become the ringmaster.
Conservatives are trying to keep the negativity high on Hillary. They want the Democrats to be uninspired by her perennial run for the White House.
Hey, Republicans and conservatives!
We already know you hate her. We already know you're going to waste more time on these silly distractions. I don't care what Bill Clinton does. He's not running for president. You can go on and on about his affairs at your own peril. Because we know Republicans candidates are hiding affairs too.
We the American people decide on who gonna be our Republican and Democratic nominee. Not the junk food media and the partisan agitators.
While I do agree that the Patriot Act is an overreach by the federal government, I think that presidential candidate and Stallmigo Rand Paul (R-KY) is throwing his hypocrisy into this.
The very same Paul rather meddle between a woman's legs, a Black man's firearms, a poor family's safety net and a family's Obamacare subsidies. Paul wants the big old bad gubmint stop looking into your cell phone.
After all his stupid son probably was incriminating himself with pictures of him smoking a bong while playing with snow lines.
Paul is already not making friends in the Republican race for the red nose. Paul put on his makeup and juggling his balls hoping he can pick off young minds with legal weed and low incarceration.
On a rare Sunday night, the U.S. Senate is in session. His fellow senator, Majority Leader Mitch The Turtle (R-KY) called for a vote on the "Uniting and Strengthening America by Fulfilling Rights and Ending Eavesdropping, Dragnet-collection and Online Monitoring Act." For the smart people this is called the USA Freedom Act.
This bill is sponsored by Wisconsin Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R-WI), the creator of the Patriot Act.
He also sponsored this bill a few years back and it didn't get traction. In October 2013, he introduced the USA Freedom Act in the House, a bill designed to curtail the powers of the NSA and end the NSA's dragnet phone data collection program. The bill is supported by civil liberties advocacy groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union.
Even he's skeptical of his own law. Did he even read this shit?
NOPE.
The USA Freedom Act was not passed by the U.S. Senate on May 22, 2015. By a vote of 57-42, the Senate did not pass the bill that would have required 60 votes to move forward, which means that the NSA must start winding down its domestic mass surveillance program this week. The Senate also rejected, by 54-45, also short of the necessary 60 votes, a two-month extension for the key provision in the Patriot Act that has been used to justify NSA spying, which is set to expire on June 1, 2015.
I don't want to jeopardize the lives of Americans because of a handful of lawmakers standing on principles that are wrong.
However, on May 31, 2015, the Senate voted 77-17 to limit debate on the act. Senate rules will allow it to be passed after the mass surveillance programs have expired.
The Republican majority promised transparency. They promised jobs. They promised to deny President Barack Obama a victory. So far, they are destroying themselves to defeat Obama.
They are wasting time trying to pass symbolic votes on restricting abortions, gutting the safety net, passing that stupid Keystone XL pipeline, restricting the president's executive powers on education, immigration, and raising the minimum wage. They are not working on passing reasonable gun control, refusing to work on peace deals with Cuba and Iran. They are pushing for troops in the battle against the Islamic State and Boko Haram. They want to waste time on Benghazi hearings, IRS emails, Hillary Clinton's missing emails, and dragging Attorney General Loretta Lynch into committee hearings about Fast & Furious.
With Paul's temper tantrum and some of his fellow Republicans and even Democratic allies calling upon the end of bulk collection done by the NSA, it seems like the bill is possibly on its way to defeat.
Here's the filibuster. Paul runs 11 hours of whine.
Again, this lawmaker has no legislative accomplishments and they act like he's a god.
Since Republicans took full control of Congress, we've seen the beginning of a weaken economy. The president will continue to issue executive orders to get the ball rolling.
Well, we're in the first two months of a full Republican controlled Congress. Since they've taken control of Congress, we've expected that the job market was to start stalling. I am proven right.
The month of March netted less than 126,000 jobs giving this Spring quarter weak growth. That means the unemployment number will stall at 5.5%
Numerous factors come forth. Weather.
We've experience a rough Winter in the month of March. Many of the factors according to the AP include a weakened U.S. economy.
The Labor Department says the unemployment rate remained at 5.5 percent. Economic growth has been hammered this year by winter weather, factory slowdowns and lackluster construction activity. The manufacturing, construction and government sectors each shed workers, while hiring at restaurants plunged from February.
Job gains in February and January were revised down by 69,000.
Wage growth remains modest. Average hourly wages rose 7 cents to $24.86 an hour in March.
Past job growth along with cheaper gasoline has yet to significantly boost consumer spending. A continued deceleration in hiring could delay the Federal Reserve from raising interest rates mid-year.
This ends the longest streak of over 200,000 jobs.
See Republicans haven't passed legislation that offers incentives to businesses, a jobs bill, a student loans bill and unemployment benefits. Things that the spineless Democrats were going to pass until they got fired out of the cannon.
Stallmigo Tom Cotton (R-AK) is trying to outcrazy Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Rand Paul (R-KY).
The controversy over Republican senators threatening Iran is getting airplay. Many felt that their decision to write a letter undermining the Six Party talks was a bad idea.
Stallmigo Tom Cotton (R-AR) has spearheaded this letter and managed to wrangle up the Majority Leader, the Pro Tempe and former 2008 U.S. Republican presidential nominee to sign on it.
Cotton is the junior United States Senator from Arkansas. He was a member of the United States House of Representatives, representing Arkansas's 4th congressional district from 2013 until 2015. He is a member of the Republican Party. He is a U.S. Army veteran and a lawyer. Cotton was the Republican nominee for the 2014 U.S. Senate race in Arkansas, and won the election, defeating incumbent Democrat Mark Pryor. At age 37, he is the youngest current U.S. Senator.
Three potential candidates for the Republican nomination signed on to the letter.
I am shocked that Sen. Mark Kirk (R-IL), Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH), and Sen. Dean Heller (R-NV) jumped on this bandwagon. They usually have some form of common sense.

Cotton wrote and sent a letter to the leadership of the Islamic Republic of Iran, signed by 47 of the Senate's 54 Republicans, attempting to cast doubt on the Obama administration's authority to engage in nuclear-proliferation negotiations with Iran.
Within hours, commentators suggested that the letter prepared by Cotton constituted a violation of the Logan Act.
Questions also were raised as to whether it reflected a flawed interpretation of the Treaty Clause of the United States Constitution.
I've been a senator for years, never in my time serving would I do something as reckless as the senator from Arkansas done.
President Barack Obama mocked the letter, referring to it as an "unusual coalition" with Iran's hard-liners as well as an interference with the then-ongoing negotiations of a comprehensive agreement on the Iranian nuclear program.
In addition, during a Vice News Interview, President Barack Obama said "I'm embarrassed for them, for them to address a letter to the Ayatollah the Supreme Leader of Iran, who they claim is our mortal enemy and their basic argument to them is: don't deal with our president, because you can't trust him to follow through on an agreement... That's close to unprecedented."
Iran's Foreign Minister, Javad Zarif, responded to the letter by saying "[the Senators'] letter in fact undermines the credibility of thousands of such mere executive agreements that have been or will be entered into by the US with various other governments". Zarif added that "change of administration does not in any way relieve the next administration from international obligations undertaken by its predecessor in a possible agreement about Iran's peaceful nuclear program". He continued, "I wish to enlighten the authors that if the next administration revokes any agreement with the stroke of a pen, as they boast, it will have simply committed a blatant violation of international law".
The controversial stallmigo doing a victory lap on GOP Faces The Nation. He gets testy with the statements of Secretary of State John Kerry.
God damn it. I am so tired of Republicans and their obstruction. Now they're playing this "who's got the bigger balls" debate. They undermine the president by kissing the ass of a foreign leader. Now they threaten to sabotage historical peace talks to disarming Iran.
The same assholes who bitched about President Barack Obama winning a Nobel Peace Prize are now bitching about this proposal. Even though it's time to move pass these silly feuds with Iran and Cuba, the Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Republican majority continue to fuck up the world, because of their utter hatred of the leaders of these countries. The Republicans don't give two fucks about these peace talks.
Seem like the terms of endearment comes with a price. Some are claiming that the Senators who signed it may have violated the law.
Republican senators mail the letter to Tehran. They call for no negotiations. They call for more sanctions and possible action if Iran continues on. They tell Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and President Hassan Rouhan that any deal with the U.S. can be undone with the next president or Congress. They also claim that the missile will be heading their way if they try anything funny.
We finally introduce the controversial Arkansas Republican senator Tom Cotton to the fold.
He along with Majority Leader Mitch The Turtle (R-KY), fellow Stallmigos Ted Cruz (R-TX), Joni Ernst (R-IA) Mike Lee (R-UT), Rand Paul (R-KY), Tim Scott (R-SC), Marco Rubio (R-FL), David Purdue (R-GA), Thom Tillis (R-NC) and numerous others signed up to this bullshit.
These assholes are defying years of delicate talks. For what reason?
To undermine the president.
Forty-seven Republicans on Sunday wrote directly to Tehran to suggest that any nuclear deal with the Obama administration would not be constitutionally binding because a future president or Congress could take steps to revoke it.
The White House blasted the Republicans. Vice President Joe Biden called the move an unprecedented affront "designed to undercut a sitting president."
CNN reports that President Barack Obama slammed Republican senators who penned a letter attempting to warn Iran that any pending nuclear agreement will face their scrutiny, claiming they were aligning themselves with Iranian "hard-liners."
"I think it's somewhat ironic to see some members for Congress wanting to make common cause with the hard-liners in Iran. It's an unusual coalition," Obama said Monday ahead of a meeting with European Council President Donald Tusk.
"I think what we're going to focus on right now is actually seeing whether we're going to get a deal or not. Once we do, if we do, we'll be able to make the case to the American people, and I'm confident we'll be able to implement it," Obama said.
Stallmigo Tom Cotton's (R-AR) stunt may actually help move talks.
The Iranian foreign minister Dr. Javad Zarif dismissed their letter as "propaganda" and told the Republicans to actually read the U.S. Constitution before they make these irrational protocols.
The Iran Primer asked the foreign minister. Zarif expressed astonishment that some members of US Congress find it appropriate to write to leaders of another country against their own President and administration. He pointed out that from reading the open letter, it seems that the authors not only do not understand international law, but are not fully cognizant of the nuances of their own Constitution when it comes to presidential powers in the conduct of foreign policy.
Foreign Minister Zarif added that “I should bring one important point to the attention of the authors and that is, the world is not the United States, and the conduct of inter-state relations is governed by international law, and not by US domestic law. The authors may not fully understand that in international law, governments represent the entirety of their respective states, are responsible for the conduct of foreign affairs, are required to fulfil the obligations they undertake with other states and may not invoke their internal law as justification for failure to perform their international obligations.”
The Republicans are forever stuck on stupid. By electing these idiots to the Congress, we'll see President Barack Obama's final years marred by the utter stupidity of Republicans.
Insurgent lawmaker Blake Farenthold (R-TX) caught up in a real scandal. It's not his pajamas.
Paging Melanie Sloan. Paging Melaine Sloan.
You're needed to once again uproot the corrupt lawmakers in Washington. I got two of them the junk food media has focused on recently.
Ms. Sloan is the CEO of the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. Her organization tracks the money and corrupt lawmakers in Congress. The organization also follows governors and state lawmakers as well. See Oregon's former Democratic governor for example.
Congressmen Blake Farenthold (R-TX) and Aaron Schock (R-IL) are in the limelight.
I ignored this clown Farenthold for a moment. I remember he wanted to arrest Attorney General Eric Holder for not providing enough access to the failed Fast & Furious ATF gun run scandal.
Farenthold is a member of the insurgency. He's a strong supporter of its "SAY NO TO O" strategy!
He's caught up in a personal scandal. One being his pajamas and his bunch of hot girls. Some of the insurgent's funds went to a website called blowme.com
Lawmaker Aaron Schock (R-IL)
Another being an alleged sexual harassment lawsuit with one of staffers.
Schock was one of the youngest members of Congress. He's heavily covered by the local and national junk food media. He is one of the most outgoing members. He still parties like a 20 year old.
The 33 year old lawmaker is under fire for his staffer posting racial insults about his neighbors and the lavish spending by Schock.
Schock's communication director was told to shake after he called a Black neighbor an animal and the neighborhood being a zoo.
His office looks like Downtown Abbey according to some. He hired a woman to do his office and failed to disclose how much it cost.
Also he's being targeted by the out party. Since Schock is a single man and dressing like a gay man, the out party is trying to dig dirt on him.
It's kind of funny that with Trey Radel, Michael Grimm and Vance McAllister being in the limelight for their shortcomings, one could wonder if the Republicans are trying to get rid of the problems before this stuff surfaces in the 2016 U.S. presidential elections.
Chuck Todd interviewing Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR). Every freaking time, each of these news programs feature more White, male, conservative, Republican guests. This is why I dubbed it GOP Sundays. It's about time to stop calling the media liberal. Regardless if the media is liberal or conservative, it's practically junk food media.
GOP Sundays, the Breakfast chat shows and the primetime agitators are so pathetic.
All the western based junk food media is bogus. Apparently it's showing a conservative bent.
Know this, if the media was bias, why the fuck are Republican lawmakers, conservative agitators, and of course the topics they usually bitch about being featured every fucking time?
Because the western junk food media doesn't want to be perceived as "liberal". This charge is often thrown around whenever the policies of Barack Obama are given credit for what's right in America.
You hear Republicans bitching and conservative outraging over all things Obama.
Republicans are concerned about Beyonce, "radical" Islam, the abortion factory, the Southern border, the president snubbing war hawk Benjamin Netanyahu, Cuba, sanctions in Iran, Black leaders, Hollywood actors attacking conservative celebrities, gay marriage, and the president's executive orders.
All it does in my opinion is scare people. The shinny coin talk of Muslim terrorists, cop killing Black men, unarmed Black men being criminals (according to the outrage pimps), President Barack Obama's agenda, and under inflated footballs is driven by the conservative agitators.
I am so fucking tired of the Republican-driven agenda and its only been four weeks of them of them being in office. The House has passed a bill that offers no jobs or improvement on the middle class.
They once again passed another stupid intrusive bill in the House outlawing taxpayer abortions.
GOP Sundays once again focus on the president's snark at the Republicans.
GOP Sundays are so focused on the next wave of Republicans clowns stuffing themselves into that clown car.
Another contentious year for President Barack Obama and Republicans.
As the final two years begins for President Barack Obama, he delivered his State of The Union Address on Tuesday. He wants to go bold on his agenda. The Republicans didn't want no part of it.
They've shown it in repose. The Weeper of the House rolled his eyes, refused to stand up and clap and some of the Republicans heckled the president by having phones on. What got the junk food media's attention was not Congressman Joe Wilson (R-SC). But a few of his fellow Republicans sneering and clapping when the president said that "he's done with campaigning".
The president went off the script and hit them with "I won both of 'em" response. The junk food media seized on that alone. Let's us not forget that the president wanted to pass a jobs bill, raise taxes on the rich, get affordable child care and college legislation passed, easing tension with Cuba, immigration reform, stalling sanctions to Iran, and authority to go after the Islamic State. He threatened Republicans with vetoes if they repeal the Dodd-Frank law and Obamacare. He warned them that the Keystone XL pipeline is not going to be approved if they can't pass other means of fuel and energy.
The insurgency and the newest Stallmigo Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA) delivered the Republican response. I didn't hear much from the conservative agitators about it. So I am guessing it was a dud. But nonetheless, the fashionistas love the camouflage high heels she was rocking.
Republicans also used Establishment lawmaker Carlos Curbelo (R-FL) to do the Spanish version.
Congressman Curt Clawson (R-FL) delivered the Insurgency Repsonse. He was the idiot who made the news after he thought that American citizens testifying to a House Committee were from India.
Stallmigos Rand Paul (R-KY) and Ted Cruz (R-TX) delivered their own responses to the president's speech.
Okay, the infighting between Republicans is beginning. The Republican Response is the official criticism of the president. These worthless lawmakers insult the Republican Party by doing these numerous and worthless responses. They all are on the same page. They hate Obama. We know that.
We're off to the beginning of an unproductive 114th Congress.
