Republicans in the US Congress

Republicans in the US Congress have abandoned their oath of office and loyalty to the US Constitution in support of a clearly corrupt, Republican, US President.

The Republicans in congress are complicit, accessories after the fact, in helping cover up Russian meddling in the 2016 elections; publicly encouraged by, then candidate, Donald Trump. Attention to Russian election activity is being distracted with conspiracy, disproved, nonsense about Ukrainian meddling in said elections.

45 is, by pushing the false Ukrainian conspiracy, clearing the way for the Russians to interfere with the US elections of 2020. By supporting the president in this false narrative, and helping the Russians be in a position to do it again, the Republicans in the US Congress are aiding and abetting treason.

Moscow Mitch McConnell has held up legislation passed by the US House of Representatives, including bills that would help secure the elections in 2020, and is therefore complicit in treason, above and beyond the treason being committed by the other Republicans in the US House and Senate.

Democrats and the economy

If you are voting for your own economic self interest, you are voting for the Democrats. This point is highlighted by two magazines not known for supporting a Democrat's perspective. They also reinforce the main assertion (Democrats are better for our economy) of the book: Bulls, Bears and the Ballot Box: How the Performance of Our Presidents Has Impacted Your Wallet; by Bob Deitrick and Lew Goldfarb.






These are the facts! You don't need to believe 'em, because they're facts.

Facts need not be believed, and beliefs require no facts.

Why run Mr. Bloomberg?

Michael Bloomberg, a multi-billionaire, is back in the race for President because the plutocrats he represents, multi-millionaires and billionaires (less than 1% of the nation's population), are scared out of their bank books by Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders.

No matter what Warren and Sanders represent, or do, these plutocrats (aristocrat wannabes) will still be fantastically wealthy. The plutocrats are terrified of being asked to maintain (possibly improve) the great nation that allowed them to build, or keep (inherited), wealth. The country that they were all born into... The USA that was built by all of our parents, grand parents, great grand parents, etc...

Health care information

Health care info... Comparing costs and results around the world. Spoiler: the USA has the highest, by far, costs and is well down the list of good results in every category.



People who argue against Single Payer/Medicare for All are those folks who are going to lose some of their profit margins and salaries... They'll still make lots of money, just not as much as they do now.
