Do Not Fall for the Bait
the next few weeks are going to be nothing but kitchen sink politics

Do not feed the trolls !
They want you to get mad, upset do not let them.
Criminal Justice - and why saying sorry is not enough
Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton were Mr. and Mrs. Tough on Crime1. Calling young kids predators, was basically calling them nothing more than beast that need to "heel". its was subtle racism
2. Increasing the youth detention population - was stripping away a child's innocence and making them institutionalized
3. A whole generation of black men lives ruined - leaving young black children having to grow up without their fathers.
4. Continuation of Drug wars - that included mandatory sentences, in many occasions black women who were in abusive relationship were forced to transport or sell drugs
4. Black families broken and torn apart
5. Lack of opportunities of those with records which will lead to recidivism
6. Some states allow felons to vote ,but many don't allow them to vote
So why as Black man , who seen the get tough on crime policies would I vote for someone that called me and my peers Super-Predators
Who is David Axelrod referring to in this tweet ?
When the exact same problems crop up in separate campaigns, with different staff, at what point do the principals say, "Hey, maybe it's US?"https://twitter.com/davidaxelrod/status/696790901797089280
Top Hillary Clinton advisors, fundraisers lobbied against Obamacare
Hillary Clinton is campaigning as a guardian of President Barack Obama’s progressive policy accomplishments. In recent weeks, she has called the Affordable Care Act “one of the greatest accomplishments of President Obama, of the Democratic Party, and of our country,” and promised that she is “going to defend Dodd-Frank” and “defend President Obama for taking on Wall Street.”
Meanwhile, however, Clinton’s campaign has been relying on a team of strategists and fundraisers, many of whom spent much of the last seven years as consultants or lobbyists for business interests working to obstruct Obama’s agenda in those two areas.
Consultants associated with the Dewey Square Group, a lobbying firm that has been retained by business interests to defeat a variety of progressive reforms, are playing a major role in the Clinton campaign. Charles Baker III, the co-founder of Dewey, is a senior strategist and the campaign’s chief administrative officer. Michael Whouley, another Dewey co-founder, played an early role in advising Clinton’s plan for the current campaign by convening some of the very first strategy sessions. Senior Dewey officials Jill Alper and Minyon Moore are also close advisers and fundraisers for Clinton, while at least four other Clinton officials have worked at Dewey within the last four years. In addition, disclosures show that Clinton’s Super PACs Priorities USA Action and Correct the Record have also paid Dewey Square Group for a variety of services in this election.
Dewey,for instance, worked on behalf of the health insurance industry during the health reform debate, specifically to block the changes to Medicare Advantage that were critical for financing the Affordable Care Act. Medicare Advantage, which allows Medicare beneficiaries to use plans administered by private insurers, had long served as a cash cow for the health insurance industry. By one estimate, insurance companies over-billed the government by nearly $70 billion in improper payments over just a five year period. Dewey, which had been tapped to by health insurers to block cuts from the program starting in 2007, continued during the Obama era to lobby to protect Medicare Advantage, even as such reforms became a major part of how Democrats and the Obama administration sought to finance the Affordable Care Act.

No Democrat should be flattered by Henry Kissinger
what is next praising Dick Cheney ?
HRC might what to trash that talking points when it comes to foreign policy
Bain Capital 12' = Bad ; Bain Capital 16'= Good ?
I know in 2012 Sen. Booker and Harold Ford Jr defended Bain Capital while other Democrats had a serious problems with firms like Bain.
In 2016 there seems to be change of heart, and it bothers me
Have we forgotten what firms like Bain Captial have done ?
Have we forgotten the thousands of jobs lost while Bain reaped major cash ?
How can a Democrat say they are fighting for the average person while pocketing money from people who only want to see a car elevator in their garage
My Vote and Hillary Clinton
Today Michelle Alexander author of The New Jim Crow - a book that looks at the rise of mass incarcerationposted on her Facebook something that touched me (posted below)
If anyone doubts that the mainstream media fails to tell the truth about our political system (and its true winners and losers), the spectacle of large majorities of black folks supporting Hillary Clinton in the primary races ought to be proof enough. I can't believe Hillary would be coasting into the primaries with her current margin of black support if most people knew how much damage the Clintons have done - the millions of families that were destroyed the last time they were in the White House thanks to their boastful embrace of the mass incarceration machine and their total capitulation to the right-wing narrative on race, crime, welfare and taxes. There's so much more to say on this topic and it's a shame that more people aren't saying it. I think it's time we have that conversation. -Michelle Alexander
