Only took less than 2 weeks and the Republicans have risen Scalia from the grave.

DHS Border Agents Defy Court Orders

By NCD on Sun, 01/29/2017 - 10:07pm |

The spineless one, Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY), as might be expected, tweeted everything is OK.  He talked to DHS head John Kelly and Kelly said so.

Senator Schumer needs to get out to JFK or Dulles airport and start taking names, specifically the name of who is in command of border control.

Apparently court orders are NOT being followed. 'Official resistance' to court orders is reported across the nation and in NYC.

The situation is described as 'Kafkaesque'.

Trump, Franken vs. Senate GOP

Forget for a moment all the issues surrounding the Keystone pipeline legality, that it will likely create few permanent jobs or that it may serve solely as a way to export Canadian oil and is not moving dirty tar sand oil for US use.

Look at the hypocrisy of the Senate GOP in 2015 on where the steel would come from, and how Trump takes the 'not rocket science' use US steel side of Democrats on this today. 

Obamacare: Never was about Health Care for the GOP

By NCD on Tue, 01/10/2017 - 1:18am |

Obamacare was never about health care for Republicans. That's why they still don't have a health care plan of their own. Republicans don't do health care, because the 1% doesn't need one. For Republicans, it was always about Obamacare taxes, on the rich. Taxes which fund health insurance subsidies for the poor and the middle class. Eliminating those taxes is job one this week. And don't ever believe the GOP will ever pass any tax to replace those funds. The health care industry is in 'disarray' with how this comes out.

Traits of Despotism, Republican Party and Venezuela

By NCD on Sun, 01/01/2017 - 4:19pm |

I was reading about the collapse of the Venezuelan health system here, and noted almost all the comments were gloating right wing Hillary, Obama haters who had no grasp of how similar the methods of the totalitarian Chavez/Maduro government of Venezuela are to those of the GOP.  And how dissimilar they are to the actions of the 8 years of the Obama administration. Including his in rescuing this nation from the last Republican engineered US economic collapse in 2007-8. Obama's actions, which were unambiguously opposed by the GOP, the Party that brought on the 'great recession' on their watch.

A deranged Hillary hating fake news reader's gun blazing assault on a Washington DC pizza restaurant has shaken the SS Trumptanic and caused a man-overboard alert - even before the ship is cut loose from Trump Tower:

Obama: Pardon Hillary-Stop a GOP Distraction Ploy

By NCD on Fri, 11/18/2016 - 8:28pm |

Time to skip the happy talk about how things will be OK under our lying sex predator fraudulent ignoramus narcissist, and preemptively pardon Hillary to avoid another distracting partisan witch hunt, on the email server nonsense and Clinton Foundation 'favoritism'.
