At Dems' Event on Poverty, No One Talked About Jobs

Nine Democratic presidential hopefuls, including front-runners Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, flocked to the Poor People's Moral Action Congress on Monday, each trying to outpander their rivals and promise the most government handouts.

It was an alarming spectacle for anyone who works for a living. These Democratic candidates don't believe jobs are the way to end poverty. For them, "work" is a four-letter word. Their approach is to take money from working stiffs and give it to slackers.

OK serious question hands up in the room who is comfortable with a President who will willingly accept foreign help to win an election?

If you are happy with that level of corruption put your hand up again.

Why is that OK?

Better question is "why isn't it ok?"? Hillary was engaged in bad behavior too, but it would have been ok had she won.
The only reason it's not ok is that Trump won.

Not the same level, and she was investigated.

Aren't you the one who called Annoyed a child because that is some playground logic there

[Gatefan1976]

How so?

Of course, it wasn't at the same level, it was Hillary's operation doing it, not Trump's.

Candidate Hillary Clinton endorsed idea of political dirt from overseas

Hillary Clinton has endorsed the idea of obtaining political dirt from overseas, saying her campaign’s Kremlin-sourced dossier was “part of what happens in a campaign.”

President Trump is taking heat from Democrats for telling ABC News on Wednesday that he would listen to negative information from a foreign country about a political opponent in 2020.

That is basically the same position Mrs. Clinton took when she was interviewed on Nov. 1, 2017, on Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show.”

A week earlier, the nation learned that the Christopher Steele dossier, with its dozen conspiracy charges against Trump associates, was financed by the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee.

[jelgate]

Annoyed thinking its okay Trump to do something because Clinton did it sounds like a child doing something wrong because the other child did it

[Chaka-Z0]

He tweeted about her just yesterday. Seriously why is Hillary STILL mentioned other than an easy deflection propaganda the MAGA's seem to like?

[Gatefan1976]

Of course, it wasn't at the same level, it was Hillary's operation doing it, not Trump's.

Candidate Hillary Clinton endorsed idea of political dirt from overseas

1: Clinton did not initiate the Steele Dossier, thank republican action groups for that.
2: Fusion GPS is an international firm -NOT- a foreign power or National.
3: The Steele Dossier was given to the FBI

That "article" fails at supplying even the most basic, accurate information -at all-.
try again.

Isn't this whole scheme defeating the purpose of how the House is set up, where each representative represents the people in his district?
It sounds to me like you just want whichever party has the most statewide votes wins that state, much as the Senate is today.

Then you didn't read correctly. The D's and R's would have no majority. That means they both lose, and that's a good thing in my book because I believe that a two party system is only marginally better than a one party system. Frankly, it sounds to me like you'd love a one party state as long as that party is the Republican party. This scheme would make that impossible and thus your objection.

Of course, it wasn't at the same level, it was Hillary's operation doing it, not Trump's.

Candidate Hillary Clinton endorsed idea of political dirt from overseas

So your argument is that it is okay because Hillary did it? Do I need to explain why that is no real argument at all? The fact that you are avoiding the problem it presents and attempting to distract with a whataboutism? Whataboutism is no justification, if anything it is an admission of wrongdoing with the caveat that "the other guy does it too"...but I have never heard of anyone getting away with a crime simply because "the other guy does it too".

A NGO (none government organization) providing information is different from that of a government agency. But I should add that it is still worrisome since Fusion does include non-Americans. But this is a different level than getting information from spies working for governments of likes of Russia.

In general to all of the above rants about Hillary vs. Trump... the Dossier, Russian connections, etc.

Annoyed understands this. The rest of you seem not to get it at all.

Every excuse is being used to dismiss Hillary off the hook for whatever she has or hasn't done, and blame Trump for everything...regardless of what the itemized matter or issue is. Doesn't matter what political party Trump belonged to or belongs to now, either. Well, maybe he changed parties, because he saw how corrupt the DEMs were becoming, even while participating in attending their various charity parties and other agenda functions. I've heard detailed interviews about that, along with the "why's" he's appeared to be friendly in previous years, and yet is now their #1 adversary.

Hillary Clinton is in cahoots (supporting) with George Soros & company who fund Fusion GPS. So what. The core of this issue is that she could have nipped the whole "Trump Dossier" into the garbage heap by admitting the whole thing was fabricated to "dump Trump", but did NOT. Obama AND Hillary both pushed efforts in their own words and ways to push Trump out of POTUS position, and didn't stop the rest of the DEMs and anti-Trumpers out there to stop with their resentment of Trump being POTUS. IMPEACH became the Democrat chant for nearly 3 years, and may still be going on by other individuals. Along with Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, etc., they encouraged and demanded the Mueller investigation into Donald Trump's life to continue, until he was forced out whatever way, shape or form that might take. It's still going on to some degrees, by other political personas.

On top of that, the rest of you folks elsewhere on this planet who resent Trump, have done nothing but complain about him being in office and what he's done or is doing in both personal, business, and gov't issues.

You wanna know how the Democrats think?

They don't think... that's what they (the Democrats) do -- do.
...And if they DO think *at all*, they certainly don't think about the consequences of what will happen if/when they wipe out those underling folks who are faithfully working and actually PAYing their TAXes, which TPTB redistribute to keep certain personas into positions of power and control. Remove the faithful farmers, and no more crops. Remove the dedicated clerks and data / business folks keeping the businesses flowing to consumers and vice-versa, and there will be no more money to finance all those "Socialist" agendas the new (USA) *Socialists* are suggesting will HELP everyone... Even the non-gov't people supporting the socialist / communist way of life fail to see that when the money runs out from redistributing, that their precious society will end up in a fast freefall downfall... only those who "have" will be able to escape that dead end route.

So, in other news or issues...
How soon would our USA be forced into a world war with Russia, if the DEMs ever get back full 100% power of all 3 branches of gov't? Hillary Clinton and President Obama both hinted they were against Russia, regardless of Obama's comment to Putin about Obama having more time after Obama left office as POTUS. More time to do what? Destroy America (the USA)? Or elevate Hillary to Queen of the NWO...? ...which is probably what would have happened if she became president in 2018. Still guessing on those options.

Now with Iran playing mind-games with the USA and Trump about going into an all out war, who or what forces are provoking Iran into pushing Trump's patience with a REAL war..? Does make some of us wonder.

In general to all of the above rants about Hillary vs. Trump... the Dossier, Russian connections, etc.

Annoyed is the only one making this about hillary at all. What Hillary does (illegal or not) does not justify anything illegal Trump does...how hard is it to understand that?

Annoyed understands this. The rest of you seem not to get it at all.

What he understands is that as long as Hillary does it, it is okay for Trump to do it. For the rest of us, that's not the case.

Why even bring her into this? The answer is because it's a strawman argument. Trumps guilt is not dependent on anything Hillary does or does not do. Her doing something illegal does not make Trump's actions legal....I mean really, this right here is a horrible argument. You basically admit that it is illegal...so I agree. And Trump is trying to go even further than Hillary. So....you're willing to allow Trump to break the law just because Hillary did something bad? So much for the rule of law....hypocrites. That's who you are throwing your hat in with. With hypocrites. And by defending them you yourself become one too.

On top of that, the rest of you folks elsewhere on this planet who resent Trump, have done nothing but complain about him being in office and what he's done or is doing in both personal, business, and gov't issues.

I don't get it...if you resent someone wouldn't you logically complain about them?

They don't think... that's what they (the Democrats) do -- do.
...And if they DO think *at all*, they certainly don't think about the consequences of what will happen if/when they wipe out those underling folks who are faithfully working and actually PAYing their TAXes, which TPTB redistribute to keep certain personas into positions of power and control.

Funny, it hasn't happened in Norway, which by your definition is socialist. Don't get me wrong, Socialism as a pure ideology has its flaws, but I do turn against people who make bad and vague arguments even if I may agree with them...and you are making a very extremely vague argument that is also bad.

What is Russia to you? Because lately Trump supporters seem to think Russia as a democracy of freedom and liberty and human rights. It's none of that. Let me paint you a picture.

Russia has made at least two land grabs much like Hitler did. And there has been talk of Russia Annexing Belarus too. Right now Trump is not playing the role of Churchill, he's playing the role of Chamberlain. (Look them up). Trump is basically appeasing Putin.

Now with Iran playing mind-games with the USA and Trump about going into an all out war, who or what forces are provoking Iran into pushing Trump's patience with a REAL war..? Does make some of us wonder.

Apparently Trump doesn't think Iran purposefully shot down our spy plane...it seems like Trump is getting cold feat. Ironically, Trump exited from a deal with Iran to prevent nuclear weapons development but is trying to make the exact same deal with North Korea....talk about a contradiction.

[SGalisa]

...Don't get me wrong, Socialism as a pure ideology has its flaws, but I do turn against people who make bad and vague arguments even if I may agree with them...and you are making a very extremely vague argument that is also bad.

So, I am now your *enemy*...?

I realize we seem to think on opposite sides when it comes to Biblical details... but the proof of what I've been trying to point out with future earth events is still future... yet to happen, yet to be proven. Patience is required, because God is permitting these events to occur whether we want to agree with the details happening or not..!

Just remember this... whoever takes control of this world after Trump is out of office, it *could* (and will) lead to absolute power corrupts absolutely. If (generic) *you* want to believe in the lies of your political party, go ahead. Don't say you weren't warned. And yes, this deceit factor can work on both sides of the street... tread carefully with what you actually believe, and what you declare is an outright fabrication...

Funny, it hasn't happened in Norway, which by your definition is socialist.

Just for bringing Norway into this...
consider this...The "Trump Dossier" was an attempt to deceive the entire world. Perhaps it's *idea* is simply material to see how many of this world will actually fall for a total and complete deception that will ensnare their future for the rest of their existing life. Not a good outlook or prospective view of life in the long run, and especially NOT if the "socialist" agenda that gets forced on US Americans ends up being like that of Venezuela, instead of Norway.

What is Russia to you? Because lately Trump supporters seem to think Russia as a democracy of freedom and liberty and human rights. It's none of that. Let me paint you a picture.

No, Trump is NOT appeasing Putin. No one knows what is truly going on between them two, except that they are so far, both keeping --both-- the USA and Russia out of nuclear annihilation of each other. Can't say that would be true with Hillary Clinton in charge. ...or some of the other Democrats who dislike Russia.

On another extreme... about Russia... Let me paint you a *future* picture of Russia. It is going to be part of that symbolic bear that God will permit being utterly crushed during the last days of this age (Ezekiel 38-39..."Gog and Magog").
Deny it all you want, but it's going to happen. How? I and those people following these events don't know the answer to that yet. But it will happen. It's just a matter of who will be alive and connected with any form of technology in order to be able to see it happen, if that person lives in another country.

Just pray these events don't occur with the USA being wiped out in some WWIII, perilous type of disaster scenario...which can result from economic and "climate" related disasters, just as much as nuclear or EMP type.

It's doubtful the USA will survive such a disastrous level event to see this next event happen. I personally believe China will become the new super-power, but "feared", and the rest of this world can whine all they want about it. It's a wild guess destiny Revelation 9:16-19 that China fits that description, but it's there. Work it out, or see it worked out when / IF it happens. Might happen sooner than later... just saying... there's a wild card of events about to happen in less than 3 years that *may* trigger these events into motion. Plus, A.O.C. has convinced the young'ins that there *may be* less than a decade left to *save* planet earth. Good luck keeping the whole planet from going to war against itself, in the meantime... that may cause the expected time frame to get even shorter...
