Lawrence Shreds Trump For Restoring Confederate General Military Bases

MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell didn't hold back his contempt for Trump's announcement during a speech to the troops at Fort Bragg this Tuesday where he mentioned restoring the names of military bases back to those of Confederate generals. After discussing Trump's ignorance of history while griping about people waving Mexican flags in Los Angeles, O'Donnell discussed the racist history of the confederate flag, that Trump has no issue with.

Is Trump Paying The Los Angeles Protestors?

Grandpa Bone Spurs is spreading another vicious lie that someone is paying protestors in Los Angeles against Stephen Miller's ordered outrageous ICE raids in schools and in Home Depots. LA has suffered enough this year after the wildfires, but this asswipe sends ICE to raid Home Depot which was moronic. Stay the fuck out of all of California. Trump is a cancer for any blue state.

Arizona Dems Vote To Stop Billionaires Buying Primaries

The Arizona Democratic Party moved over the weekend to bar billionaires and corporations from using their wealth to purchase primary elections, a key step for progressives who have been pushing the Democratic Party nationwide to curb the political influence of ultra-rich donors. A newly approved resolution, passed by voice vote at the Arizona Democratic Party's State Committee meeting on Saturday, instructs the party to "establish a 'People's Primary' policy to bar, to the greatest extent possible, the use of massive private wealth to buy or unduly influence our primary elections."

AOC Savages John Fetterman Over Criticism Of L.A. Protests

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) spoke to CNN's Manu Raju on Capitol Hill. AOC was asked about Sen. John Fetterman's criticism of the Democratic Party over the protests in Los Angeles. Fetterman said, "My party loses the moral high ground when we refuse to condemn setting cars on fire, destroying buildings, and assaulting law enforcement," even though that's not the whole picture. A few protesters got out of hand in a city populated by 3.821 million residents, but you don't send in the Marines. ICE was formed in 2003 primarily as a response to the September 11th terrorist attacks. Still, the agency has gone lawless as it disappears people from American streets, then many of those individuals are deported without due process.

NIH Head Claims Cutting Research Leads To More Research

NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya made no sense when he tried to claim that by the HHS cutting massive research dollars from the NIH, it will still end up producing excellent research. Donald Trump, with his insane cabinet picks is destroying every federal agency that is necessary to the health, and well-being of this country and its citizens.

Grandpa Dictator: Protestors Will Face 'Very Heavy Force' At My Parade

Trump's Big Boy parade, which will feature Army tanks, planes, and marching soldiers into Washington this week, will cost taxpayers $45 million. The Army will bring in 9,000 soldiers. That jaw-dropping amount could cover a year's salary and benefit costs for 307 federal employees. There are so many other things, but Trump's ego needs massaging. And he's not allowing any protesters, or he's gonna beat you up. Maybe he'll slap you upside the head with a copy of the Constitution, specifically the First Amendment.

EPA administrator Lee Zeldin plans to announce the proposed changes "within days," according to The Times:

Trump's America: Where The Press Gets The Rubber Bullet And Fascists Get A Medal

So We're Shooting Reporters Now In Los Angeles? Thanks, Trump! That'll do wonders for America's image abroad, tourism and basic American unity. Not that Donald J. Trump the detritus you try not to step in while in a dog park, ever gave two shits about that. In Trump's America, the free press--especially foreign ones not corporatized like ours who tell the truth--isn't the Fourth Estate, it's target practice. That's what an Australian reporter found out for doing her job. This is what Trump wants, what he's been egging on ever since he waddled down that golden escalator. He hasn't just unleashed the National Guard, as David Shuster explains here, but militarized police who've been encouraged to be violent. Channeling their inner Gestapo is not a bug, it's Trump's feature.
