Congressional Republicans have spent the past several months slamming Biden and his son Hunter as corrupt over Hunter's work in Ukraine.
This is exactly the kind of political triangulation that ensures that american policies match steadily towards fascism with no real left wing in politics to confront it.
You reap what you sow
President Obama hoped to repeal the Bush-era authorization declaring war on al Qaeda—instead he's expanded it without bound.
Sometimes people like to overlook parts of the whole story about how we got to where we are today. We need to start being more honest with ourselves and start fixing the whole problem.
It has become as common as Donald Trump’s contemptuous tweets and Nancy Pelosi’s duplicitous smile. What I’m referring to is the maelstrom that erupts from the sheep who remain with her even though Hillary Clinton could care less about her hangers on. The minute some also-ran Democrat loses by a few thousand votes or a fraction of a percentage, the next day a gaggle of jackals take to social media to blame people who refuse to vote for the ever bankrupt Democrat part
There are two options to take once people encounter losses and setbacks. One option is to be honest and reflect to see how one can do better going forward in life. The other option is to lash out and blame everyone else and refuse to be do any type of self-assessment at all. Hillary Clinton chose the latter, she wrote a book blaming everyone and their mama except herself in her deluded attempt to justify America’s rejection of her cackling campaign.
All these pundits and politicians lining up to blame Donald Trump for the evils of the world after holding their tongues for eight years of Obama spreading the wealth around to the 1% and droning around the world can be discounted as frauds. This is not to diminish the malignant policies and personality of Trump, but to pretend like all Trump is the end all and be all of evil is either willful ignorance or willing hypocrisy. There are too many people on all sides who have taken up the sport of using human suffering to advance their political ideologies, situational morality is no way to stand for justice. Instead of addressing the sources of social inequalities that flow from both parties, partisans would rather take hammers to people who have had enough of the lies.
Try hard as they might to skirt accountability, the truth is that Democrats own Donald Trump. We would not have the petulant president in the White House if Obama and the Democrats did not spend eight years enriching the same criminals who bled our economy in 2008 while treating millions of Americans to foreclosures and symbolic acts. Democrats have perfected the art of acting concerned while kowtowing to their corporate masters, in reality both Democrats and Republicans are nothing more than flip sides of the same malicious coin. The race last night was not so much a competition of visions as it was a race of ambitions. Regardless of who wins between the Democrat or the Republicans, the American people will continue to be fed to the wolves on Wall Street in order to feed the greed of the neo-aristocracy.
I thus write this on behalf of anyone who voted for the Green Party yesterday in Ohio’s special election and for all who refuse to partake in the fraudulence of the Democrat or Republican parties. No Alyssa, the people who voted for someone other than the duopoly are not Russian hackers, they are Americans who have had enough of hacks like you and the corporate courtiers who keep being foisted upon us. Instead of bashing people who refuse to vote for team blue, how about you tell your Democrat friends to stop being the party of Wall Street, to stop voting for the Military-Financial complex and to stop taking their voters for chumps.
It's never really been about what your constituents wanted, though, has it, Pelosi? Step down so progress can be made!
Politico reported on May 3 that House Democrats want Republicans to pass an Obamacare repeal bill in the House, citing that the vote could be used against Republicans in the 2018 midterm elections.
Democrats affirmed this report by chanting “hey hey hey goodbye” to Republicans after Obamacare repeal marginally passed in the House by a vote of 217 to 213 on May 4. This strategy is terrible for a variety of reasons. First and foremost, it reveals that the Democratic Party is willing to sell out constituents just to receive some attack fodder.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi recently reaffirmed the Democratic establishment’s overwhelming attitude that Obamacare, which still leaves 28 million people uninsured, is sufficient, because it allows Democrats to attack Republicans for pushing its repeal.
Vice News correspondent Evan McMorris-Santoro noted that Pelosi told him that single payer health care should be designated as a solution for states to provide on their own and that the political reality is that Congress isn’t ready for single payer health care. She claims that she has supported single payer since before McMorris-Santoro was born, a condescending response that bears no weight given she’s not willing to support it now. Pelosi has never fought for a single payer health care system. Her response is incredibly tone-deaf, especially given Americans’ increasing support for single payer health care.
A 2016 Gallup poll found that 58 percent of Americans favored replacing Obamacare with a federally funded health care system. The Washington Post reported in April 2017, “A recent survey from the Economist/YouGov found that a majority of Americans support ‘expanding Medicare to provide health insurance to every American.’ Similarly, a poll from Morning Consult/Politico showed that a plurality of voters support ‘a single-payer health care system, where all Americans would get their health insurance from one government plan.’ ”
If we look beyond the Red Team VS. Blue Team mentality, we can gain enormous insight by asking just a few simple questions. Whether Bush, Obama, Trump, or Clinton:
Did Wall Street come out way ahead of Main Street?
Did the oil companies come out way ahead again?
Did the arms dealers make billions and billions of dollars?
Is 'dead' still the trajectory of the middle class?
Is 'dead' still the trajectory of this planet?
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, in each case, every time, for almost forty years.
When we say to independent voters, "HI, I'M HERE TO SELL YOU BLUE TEAM!" -- you sound, to them, like a skeevy used car salesman.
If, instead, you point to BOTH parties, and say, "our whole government has been corrupted", you get INSTANT agreement. EVERYONE knows this is true. They see you now as one of them. And then they will listen to you. <3

Another Conservative Who Doesn’t Care About the Constitution
They’re coming out of the woodworks now that Obama is out of office. But these days, it doesn’t matter what the issue is, we get barraged on an almost-daily basis with emails, social media posts and other feedback – from republicans, conservatives and Trump supporters – showing us that they care little for the restraints of the Constitution.
Today, for example, we were asked about the President…
