Democrat Rep tied to businesses

mercredi 20 juin 2018 à 02:00

Democrat Rep. Crowley voted to weaken the CFPB in favor of businesses that had hired his brother to lobby for them.

Whether or not the fee to his brother was the reason, he supported the wrong side. But not only once. Crowley has a history of ties to financial businesses, and using his political clout on their behalf.

He also voted for the PAT RIOT Act and for invading Iraq.

Proposing that European leaders call for a UN mandate for Palestine.

Attack on antifascists

mercredi 20 juin 2018 à 02:00

Right-wing extremist Quillinan went to a rally in Berkeley, California, armed and attacked antifascists. The thugs treated Quillinan as a victim rather than as a criminal, and together they prosecuted several antifascists.

It fits a general pattern where right-wing thugs lie to attack their political enemies.

Don't believe anything a thug says in court if it inculpates a black or a progressive protester. While it is not impossible that blacks or progressive protesters can do wrong, a thug is not a reliable witness about them.
