Bernie Sanders rallies against GOP tax plan in Reading
Following an early Saturday morning vote on a new tax plan, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders continues taking his message across the country.
He arrived at the Santander Performing Arts Center in Reading on Sunday to speak to more than 1,000 supporters.
Sanders touched on various topics including health care and President Donald Trump, but the most often talked about topic was that of the new tax plan approved by the Senate this weekend. Sanders is one of the plan’s most vocal opponents.
“Trickle down economics is a trick,” Sanders bellowed from the stage.
..
Despite the seated, intimate atmosphere of the Santander Performing Arts Center, there were times when the gathering took on the look, feel and sound of a rowdy rally. But the overall message among the thousand plus in attendance was clear.
“I think his message is to stay relentless,” said Eileen Kerrigan of Philadelphia. “And continue to resist what’s being forced on us.”

government as a control system
make government smaller but still big enough to control the people to protect the wealthy and corporations
what a tale we weave when we are protecting the powerful and feathering our own nest
The corpses are the real governments. They already write our laws and more and more, they are the money behind the cops, which means they are becoming our law enforcement.
Maybe that is part of the popularity of The Walking Dead, besides the good actors: at least in TWD, we can kill the zombies. In the real world, the zombies are killing us. And Continuum, of course. Did the sci-fi authors of old realize that the real world would meet or even exceed their wildest imaginings of corporate takeover?

A county in Utah wants to suck 77 million gallons a day out of Lake Powell, threatening the Colorado River
What an absurd idea. I recall seeing a debate about water rights in 2007. Gov Richardson was the sole person to suggest that perhaps there needed to be more water pipelines from the Great Lakes than borrowing from the Colorado River. I wonder if that county is starting golf courses for Mittens and his ilk.

No kidding! Read about corporate control of legislation and law enforcement above. Now they get to control which species live or die????? Next thing you know, they’ll find some way to get rid of the poor, the sick, the weak.

McAuliffe is a Turd Wayer and Clintonista. I wish the people of VA the best of luck in fighting these entrenched $$$greedy$$$ backwards thinking slimeballs! T and R to the usual TPW suspects!!
But this is what “unity” looks like and “unity” is good!
Of course Northam is just hiding. Such leadership! /s
Northam was handpicked by McAuliffe, I doubt Northam will do anything to rock any boats.

Orrin Hatch comments on Chip health program at heart of social media storm
Hatch has been a proud member of the FRightwingnut club ever since he was elected way back in the Stone Age. LOL. I really wish Natural Law would catch up w/him. He’s in his nineties. It’s about time he dropped dead.
i’d happily settle for retirement. :O)

Franken and Conyers are serious threats to TPTB. The bimbo accusing Franken is a professional sex model. She is tied in to POX media. Conyers–not quite sure, but nothing like Roy Moore. He has always been a true public servant for AAs. He’s from Detroit. He is getting old–80s I think (correct if I’m wrong). FRightwingnuts would love to replace him with one of their MI scum. I sure hope MI folks will get informed and vote next year.
The settlements should be published, they can keep the names of the vics anonymous.
But then there are gazillions of costs that should be published and are not. Especially with all the public/private “partnerships.”
Jones trying to boost black turnout in Alabama Senate race
If AAs come out and vote, they will make quite a statement in this race. Voting matters, and here’s another classic example of that fact!
