Official Democratic Response To Border Wall!
January 29, 2017
Dear President Trump, while we don't agree with your dangerously ignorant and zenophobic rhetoric regarding illegal immigrants, as the newly elected president, we feel it is our patriotic duty to support your efforts to end illegal immigration.
Therefore, we will be putting forth a bill that will add the necessary teeth to any such effort to truly accomplish this.
Key provisions include;
1) Creation of a well funded, robust task force who will be solely charged with investigating every agriculture company in our southern regions for the use of illegal aliens.
These federal agents will be given full authority for frequent, random onsite inspections, and full access to all corporate and personnel files.
2) As many other companies and industries utilize illegal aliens, we will create a well-publicized confidential tip line where citizens can report the known or suspected employment of illegals.
Such hero whistle blowers will be financially rewarded, kept anonymous, and fully protected from any reprisal from their employer.
3) Creation of new minimum sentencing guidelines for employers who hire illegal aliens. These will include;
- A $100,000 fine for any company found to be employing illegal immigrants.
- An additional $50,000 fine for each individual illegal immigrant employed.
- Federal charges up to and including prison sentencing for management involved in the illegal hiring. This includes C-Class executives - pleading ignorance will not be an acceptable defense.
As any immigration expert will attest to, employment oppprtunity is by far the leading motivator for illegal immigration. Cut that out, and immigration will largely disappear.
Therefore, while some may view these penalties as excessive, if the threat of illegal immigration is as extreme and grave as you and other Republicans continue to warn it is, then employers guilty of illegally aiding and abbedding them must be treated in the harshest possible manner.
It is for this reason that we found it quite odd that the above measures have not been mentioned by either you or your fellow Republicans thus far, and wanted to remedy the situation ASAP.
Thank you in advance Mr President, we fully expect your immediate and enthusiastic support for this new bill.
Respectfully,
If Democrats Had A Political Brain or Guts
What does this tell you?
It was just reported that growth in 2016 was only 1.6%, slowest since 2011, yet Wall Street is setting record highs.
I'm no financial wizard, but that makes about as much sense as losing 20 pounds while on a steady diet of McDonalds.
IMO, major correction coming, maybe worse.
Trump's Russian Handlers Get Huge Win Day 1
Conrad Trump is making good on what was no doubt the first order of business for his Russian handlers, scrapping the TPP.
"It is estimated that Russia will lose on TPP in economic terms, by 2025 sustaining a $1 billion welfare loss. Again, this is measured by equivalent variation – how much money needs to be deducted from the Russian economy in case of no TPP to make it as well-off as when TPP comes into force.
Equivalent variation is here negative, which means that Russia would be better-off without TPP. Russia loses because enhanced trade takes place somewhere else, it cannot enjoy productivity gains and better allocation of resources resulting from trade and Russian consumers do not have access to more varieties.
Moreover, the additive effect of TPP in the east, coupled with another big free trade agreement between the U.S. and the EU, i.e. the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) in the West, will contribute to the further economic isolation of Russia.
Russian President Vladimir Putin recognizes this possible threat and has treated TPP as “another U.S. attempt to build an architecture of regional economic cooperation that the U.S. would benefit from.”

Roger Waters Epic Anti-Trump Resistance Video
Ok, no more wallowing my fellow DU'ers, that shit ends today with this video released by Roger Waters.
Written some 40 years ago on the epic "Animals" album which ruthlessly throttled corporatism and the vile "pigs" behind the machinery, today it perfectly and aptly undresses our fraudulent new president.

Some choice lyrics;
"Big man, pig man
Ha, ha, charade you are
You well heeled big wheel
Ha, ha, charade you are
And when your hand is on your heart
You're nearly a good laugh
Almost a joker
With your head down in the pig bin
Saying 'Keep on digging'
Pig stain on your fat chin
What do you hope to find
Down in the pig mine?
You're nearly a laugh
You're nearly a laugh
But you're really a cry
Bus stop rat bag
Ha, ha, charade you are
You fucked up old hag
Ha, ha, charade you are
You radiate cold shafts of broken glass
Hey you, White House
Ha, ha, charade you are
You house proud town mouse
Ha, ha, charade you are..."
Wizard of Oz...so let me get this straight...
I just watched the end of the Wizard of Oz. Have you ever considered...
That in the beginning the good witch Glenda seems perfectly happy about her one sister getting killed by Dorothy's falling house.
Then, even though she knew all along that Dorothy could go home any time by clicking her heels, she doesn't tell her, and instead sends her on this dangerous journey.
Only in the end, when Dorothy finally completes the journey and kills Glenda's last remaining sister, to her great pleasure, does Glenda finally tell Dorothy about the ruby slippers....now that Glenda is the only remaining witch left to rule over Oz.
So Glenda is actually a power hungry violent sociopath!
Guess what, the North Dakota pipeline just sprung a leak

Jesus Christ Sanders are you serious???
I heard right here in DU that Bernie sanders was doing a town hall on MSNBC so I turned it on. First time I put on any cable news station since the election.
So Sanders is in a room of UNION WORKERS that supposedly includes a bunch of Trump voters and he totally normalized Trump. I can't believe it. He more or less downplaying everything trump did and said, who he is, and made him out to be basically an outsider that "desperate people" latched on to because he was their only hope.
It was literally sickening. I watched 10 minutes and turned it off.
Amazing, this is exactly why I turned off the TV on election night, because I knew I wouldn't be able to handle the normalization of Trump and the liberal hand wringing about how Trump is the lefts fault...and sure enough, I take a chance tonight since it was Sanders and BOOM, like a shot in the gut.
Just what the DR ordered...
This is a great documentary about comedians and the role they played on politics and social issues from the 60's-90's.
All the greats (Carlin, Bill Hicks, Lenny Bruce, Richard Prior, etc...) are in it.
