Meanshile, Back in Wisconsin

When the Guardian published that piece on our John Doe we got so excited. DEMs asked for a new investigation. Well, Monday it was shut down again in the courts. We have a strong right wing media here, both radio and press. Jerry Bader, the creep in Green Bay who precedes Rush's radio show crowed "We have a strong conservative media in Wisconsin. It is a force to be reckoned with. This could not have happened 10 years ago." Folks, we are so fucked. Mission accomplished for the Kochs. Wisconsin, Louisianna and Kansas dead.

And here is a story about our very own Sheriff David Clarke, Cheeto's guy, who starved an inmate to death.

it is a state that has elected and reelected Scott Walker and Paul Ryan. The Kochs, and the Mercers for that matter, will inevitably have some victories, and WI is clearly very vulnerable.

Btw, have you checked Paul Ryan's new economic plan? If enacted it would put that wealth-transfer vacuum on steroids. Tax breaks for the very wealthy like nothing we've seen before, effectively none for working people, who'd have to pay for everything for everyone, or do without. Mostly do without. The very wealthy only need those roads their limousines use to be well maintained, and they send their children to select private schools.

know pretty much all there is to know about Walker, Johnson, Ryan, Pence, etal.....Just like folks not living in OH don't know what a shit Kasich is, people who don't live here don't know about our WI shits. We are the Mississippi of the North. And we were a proud progressive state before Walker took over. 6 short years and he has done all this damage. Remember we are the state that also brought you McCarthy.

I am on the Exec Bd of our County and we put up real bad candidates against Walker. Our state party chairman, Mike Tate, was useless. We can thank him for for our last candidate, a lady with no experience, but paying $120Grand to sit on the Madison School Board. She was pretty and rich(owned TREK bicycles) and that is why he picked her. We had no primary. One guy picked our candidate.

because they are deadlocked 4-4. After Clinton wins and we have a 5-4 advantage on the supreme court they will take this up again. It's a delay not an end.

Claimed he "wouldn't be good for collective bargaining." Hmm, how did that work out for WI's public union collective bargaining rights? Oh, yeah... it didn't.
