Democrats Cave In To Trump To Stop Government Shutdown

Democrats Cave To Trump To Stop Government Shutdown


The USA does things differently than over here in the UK and each year they have to fund the government so it can keep going.

The odd thing is that even though they are voting on one thing they can add extra unrelated "pork" into bills to get Senators and Congressmen to support them.

So a bill to protect wildlife in a certain part of the USA might have extra parts added such as money to fund Israel or Veterans. Totally unrelated stuff.

This recent bill fight to keep the government open only a few weeks saw the Republicans demand dozens of things related to their border wall and the Democrats who could have just said no, not until you fund the DREAMERS. These are the DACA recipients that allow people who came here illegally or were born here, never seeing their homeland to stay.

Many are in the military or doing jobs Americans don't want to do.

However from a position of strength the Democrats who could have said "No we will not give you  one vote to fund the Government until we get funding for DACA have caved in like the weaklings they are."

They bent over to their corporate overlords who they now take money from as well as decisions on policies. These corporate Democrats obviously did what their election funders wanted them to do and caved in allowing Trump to get what he wanted whilst they only got a "promise" of a vote on DACA.

Obviously Trump went straight to Twitter to gloat that the Democrats had caved and it just shows how weak a party they really are at the moment.

It also shows what sort of President Trump is when he thinks policy and rebuttals are for him to make himself from his own Twitter account and not official press releases.

From wsws.org

The US Senate and House of Representatives voted Monday to approve a short-term budget resolution, putting an end to the partial shutdown of the federal government that began midnight Friday night. The deal leaves 800,000 DACA recipients without protection in what amounts to a total capitulation by Democrats to Trump and the Republicans.
The Senate passed the three-week “continuing resolution,” authorising federal government spending through February 8, by a vote of 81-18, with large majorities of both big-business parties supporting the bill: 48-2 for Republicans, 33-16 for Democrats.
It seems as if the Democrats, even from a position of strength just don't know how to play politics anymore.

Ta-Nehisi Coates v Cornell West - Just how Obama is not the new Malcolm X

Ta-Nehisi Coates v Cornell West - Just how Obama is not the new Malcolm X

By Dark Politricks
Secular Talk

Ta-Nehisi Coates is the neoliberal face of the black freedom struggle, says Cornell West, progressive black elder of the liberal movement.

He doesn't see Obama as any kind of shinning light for the black community, whereas Ta-Nehisi Coates says of him with genuine euphoria:
“As I watched Barack Obama’s star shoot across the political sky ... I had never seen so many white people cheer on a black man who was neither an athlete nor an entertainer. And it seemed that they loved him for this, and I thought in those days ... that they might love me too.”
He also compares him to the last black hero since Malcolm X, where he seems to have missed a few things that President Obama did whilst in office out of his admiration list. Things such as:
  • Increasing the wars the USA was in from 3 to 7 and who knows how many "off book" banana republics the CIA are trying to turn over at the moment.
  • Drone strikes increased allowing PS2 and Xbox generation kids, experts at shooting from the sky to play real life or death scenarios. Sat in a box in Las Vegas they control drones across the world and take out buildings and people who may or may not have any connection with whatever extremest force the Mossad/CIA have created to ensure that the DOD sends troops over to fight there.
  • The implementation of the NDAA which gives the POTUS god like powers and lets him kill even US citizens abroad or at home if he feels they are a threat to the country.
  • The increased surveillance state where scanners at airports show off genitalia to brain-dead FDA staff, or you may be lucky to get a pat down and an accidental finger slipped somewhere. Not nice for the kids to watch for sure. Are there are any studies out that have shown how many terrorist plots these scanners that can easily be bypassed have stopped?
  • The crack down on whistle-blowers and truth to power speakers. He may have let Chelsea Manning out of jail as his pardon present for leaving, but he was the one who put him there in the first place. The war crimes and torture committed by US troops in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria and other places is a very long list. Videos put up on YouTube of burning Korans and soldiers pissing on dead bodies of people they had just killed, is not the kind of "freedom" that the rest of the world wants. The latest attempt is the Democratic Red Scare and the nonsensical call to label Dr Jill Stein a Russian Agent and ask her to appear before a committee at Congress. It will surely blow up in their faces when she uses cool clean logic to blast them out of the water with real policies that were not heard by the majority during the last election, and hopefully leaving a committee room full of red faces.
  • Allowing the CIA and NSA to do pretty much what they want, whilst selling arms to the most despotic regime on the face of the earth, Saudi Arabia. If one country needs to be taken out of the Middle East it's the Saudi's who are using their alliance with Israel and the USA to increase their battle with Iranian forces. Forces who have helped removed ISIS militants from Syria along with Kurds and Christians.
  • The let off of Wall St after their collapsing of the World Economy in 2008. He should have jailed at least some Banksters like Iceland did. Now out of office and collecting $500,000 payments for after dinner speeches, it looks to a lot of people that he is being paid back from the den of inequity he didn't prosecute or crack down on after they gambled people's wages and pensions away on the stock market.
  • The non prosecution of George W Bush and Dick Cheney for war crimes including a preemptive war on Iraq (outlawed by US judges as the worst crime a country could commit against another after WWII at Nuremberg)the torture of enemy soldiers at Gitmo and Abu Ghraib many who were just people picked up by the Northern Alliance and sold to US troops who had nothing to say, nothing to admit and no part played in any anti-US battles. Remember the Taliban are mostly the name we have given the people who already lived in the area we attacked illegally. The Afghani's asked for evidence of bin-Laden's guilt twice and were denied it, as well as offering to hand him over for a fair trial also denied by US HQ. Just imagine if the Chinese invaded the USA. They would be calling all those 2nd amendment tin can shooters a similar name.
  • There are many many more incidences which I could mention but we could go on all night.
