Brand New Congress and Justice Democrats

These two grass roots organizations aim to take out large corporate donors who dictate law and enslave their endorsed candidates. BNC and DC believe and support candidates who accept zero dollars in corporate money. Therefore, they can fight for policies that are best for the largest majority of Americans, not just for those who work at the large corporations.

What did the U.S. get in the “historic” summit ?

How about nothing.  As in zero, zilch.  Kim Jong Un got some serious legitimacy by meeting with an American president.  A president who lavished him and flattered him as a great man, funny, strong, smart man and great negotiator.  All the while North Korea is the greatest violator of human rights this world has ever seen; hundreds of thousands if not millions of people starved in the 1990’s; he holds public executions; he murders people who question or oppose him; thousands of people die or spend years in their gulag; his people have no access to the outside world and are required to listen to his propaganda in their own homes.

Trump declares that North Korea is not longer a nuclear threat although they gave absolutely zero concessions that backs up his claim.  North Korea has declared that they will denuclearize for 70 years while they have continued to build their arsenal; nothing has changed.  They claim they will denuclearize without any checks or any proof that they will actually do anything different.

Trump has given Kim and North Korea what they have sought for decades with is the cease of joint military exercises of the U.S. and South Korea…..  All for nothing in return; zero; zilch.  By the way, Russia and China desperately wanted the exercises to end.  No surprise Trump once again is happy to oblige Putin.  Putin’s coffee boy continues to faithfully serve his master.

Trump, the “great negotiator”, gave away the farm for zero in return.  Way to go.

 

Can the DOJ Retain its Independence ?

Has the DOJ let Trump go to far with his latest tweet “demanding an investigation into DOJ/FBI” ?  DOJ has already broken vital norms to separate the powers between the justice department and executive branch by allowing classified documents to be handed over to Congress during an ongoing investigation (FISA docs and Comey’s transcripts).  How could the GOP possibly let Mr. Trump exceed his powers to such a startling degree ?  How could a sitting president possibly demand an investigation take place that involves an ongoing investigation that is investigating him !!  This is insane.  How could this be allowed in our country ?
