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.

Will the sublime skills of the new US President rock the world

Will the sublime skills of the new US President rock the world

By Dark Politricks

As we all know, if you are not American, the rest of the world finds the fact that you just voted a night owl, Twitter freak, failed business man who has been bankrupted numerous times and a reality TV star, as the man to lead the free world totally hilarious and yet very scary at the same time, The man is obviously a mad nutter who should be on high doses of xanax,

Do you believe the rest of the world is shitting it's pants or is just waking up every morning hoping he hasn't nuked the planet over a 4am Twitter war with Taylor Swift.

Unfortunately the economist, Mark Blyth, who accurately predicted BREXIT and the election of Donald Trump honestly believe we are going to see a lot more idiots put in power due to campaigning on populist ideas and then ignoring them once in power.

A clear example, apart from Trumps campaign is Obama's presidency.

He managed to get thousands of people at rallies to come along and cheer along the nonsensical generic cries of "Yes we can" and "Change".

He promised to close Gitmo, bring the troops home, and help create jobs whilst giving health care to everyone,

Instead he expanded the wars from the Stan and Iraq to Somalia, Yemen, Syria, Libya and actually has armed forces (special op teams) in 135 countries at the moment.

He kept the dictator like laws brought in after 9.11 instead of stopping them and the health care he brought in was another handout to insurance companies and an increase in Obamacare premiums to pay for a tax cut for himself and his millionaire friends.                                                      

I feel for the voters who did vote for him as he has done nothing to help the poor so far, put insurance up for people with pre-existing conditions, and swapped from interfering in other countries business to firing unnecessary expensive $500,000 missiles at Syria because of his daughter showing him a picture of a dead baby.

This is all despite the dozens of dead babies killed the other week when the US bombed a hospital and killed 200+ people. However that is just collateral damage when we kill babies and OAPS.

He even congratulated the now dictator of Turkey who jailed all the journalists, judges and people who were telling the truth about him and his son buying oil from ISIS, clearly shown in a photo from a Russian plane. A snake of stolen oil as they called it.

Plus the AXIS of WAR  (US/UK/Israel/France) is actually helping "moderate forces" which don't actually exist as ISIS swallows them all up, rather than letting the Russians and Syrians get rid of ISIS from the country,

By the looks of things though the under prepared reality star and failed business man and total ignoramus to the rest of the world, might be impeached soon for not being prepared for office and making stupid remarks that are reported all over the world,

Whatever school he went to he was taught a load of crap. I have seen many documentaries where they teach their pupils hardly anything about the rest of the world and they honestly believe it is the greatest and most free country in the world. Basically it teaches pupils what we put on our plants to make them grow better.

Read DarkPolitricks.com for all the reasons US citizens are basically living without privacy, spied on through phones, TVs, tablets and computers and yet many still believe they have a fair and equal justice system and live in the land of the free.

One where they are now prone to state police TANKS (given to US police forces after Iraq) and jailed for their whole life if they commit 3 felonies like the man who was so hungry he stole a piece of pizza. Fair? I don't think so.

American citizens live in an open jail, where they don't even have habeas corpus anymore and can even be executed on the say so of the President. The NDAA and PATRIOT ACT bills which should have been repealed by any other country 16 years after 9.11 are still in existence and you could have a squad of robocops storm your home at any minute, shoot your barking dogs and put in jail without a trial if the state so wants.

Progressive Democrats don't make me laugh. They are just the other side of the coin of neo-liberal, war mongering, Israel boot licking, prison labour using, uncaring party that is both Republican and Democrat, LOL, they are just the weaker side of a corporate bankster run country where wars that cost trillions are paid for and hundreds of military camps are built around the world without so much as a mutter of dissent.

Stop the wars and save a huge amount of money, Enough cash to put anyone through University for free instead of leaving College with bills of hundreds of $$ and give everyone free health care.

War is bankrupting the USA NOT health care, social security or University fees, and you would think the richest country should be able to pay for it. It is almost like the whole of the US population has been brainwashed.

So why is it that Americans believe they shouldn't pay for someone else's child to get cancer treatment but don't mind as $500,000 missiles are fired are at a Syrian airfield due to a false flag gas attack.

The Syrian army had no need to use chemical weapons when they are winning the war and forcing ISIS out into their havens in Turkey. They could have easily taken the town with standard military methods. Plus don't you find it a little bit fishy that the attack came just before peace talks and a Russian drone filmed American planes over the area that was bombed at the time of the attack,

Oh and that "poor little dead baby" speech he made was comical. Only weeks ago the US air force had destroyed a hospital and killed far more babies than the chemical attack 200+ people died in that bombing. However that is just collateral damage and no one in the owned US media will say how wrong it is.

I just hope the Republicans in the Senate have the sense of John McCain and others and stop all these executive orders that Trump thinks will just become law. He has no concept of how a bill is made in the US and how the Supreme Court is there to make sure it's constitutional.

Trump has already decided to cut health care to many of his supporters so that he can give himself and fiends a huge tax cut. Hopefully the Democrats kick out their representatives who are not progressive enough to call for single payer health care e.g the expansion of Medicare.

Hopefully he will be impeached and kicked out of office and I hope that the leader of the inquiry into him says "Your fired" when he goes. However who will take over. It doesn't even seem to matter when the Democrats admit in court that they could just do without primaries and pick who they want such as Hillary Clinton over the more popular Bernie Sanders.

I am sure the Republicans have a similar system so unless Bernie Sanders and Jill Stein create a proper peoples party that closes hundreds of army bases, gets rid of a thousand or so nukes that are really not needed to blow the whole world up 3 times over and stop the wars then the US will continue to have a neo-liberal pro war policy whoever is in power.

Donald Trump and post BREXIT relations with the UK

Donald Trump and post BREXIT relations with the UK

Donald Trump tells Theresa May BREXIT will be 'fantastic' for UK

news.sky.com

Last week after Theresa May became the first foreign national leader to head to Washington to congratulate Donald Trump on becoming POTUS after Barack Obama, there was a press conference where Trump had some positive things to say about BREXIT.

Donald Trump has claimed BREXIT will be a "fantastic thing" for the UK.

The President was speaking at a joint news conference with BREXIT  after she became the first foreign leader to visit the White House since his inauguration.

"I think BREXIT is going to be a wonderful thing for your country," he said.

"When it irons out you are going to have your own identity and you are going to have the people that you want in your country and you are going to be able to make free trade deals without having somebody watching you and what you are doing.

"I think it will end up being a fantastic thing for the United Kingdom. I think in the end it will be a tremendous asset, not a tremendous liability."

Here is an earlier interview where Donald speaks about his love for the BREXIT campaign.

Donald Trump on UK Brexit and the special relationship between Britain and America.

Here, with amazing foresight, Donald predicts that the UK will vote to leave the EU in the BREXIT referendum. He also talks about the fizzled out protest against him entering the country for his decision to ban Muslims from certain countries entering the USA until they can protect themselves.

He then goes on to speak about our "Special Relationship" and how he thinks it will be an even better relationship that previously.

What do you think? Will BREXIT be fantastic for the UK, and is the new US Presidents initial signs of getting an early trade deal with the UK and having the UK Prime Minister as his first formal meeting mean a new kind of special relationship?

If you are British please take the vote in the header about leaving the EU through BREXIT and if you are American please take the poll in the bottom about Donald Trump.

Or take both if you wish.

Interview with Mark Blythe who predicted BREXIT and the rise of Donald Trump

Jimmy Dore show

This is an interview with the economist who both predicted BREXIT and the rise of Donald Trump to POTUS perfectly in the USA perfectly.

Here he explains capitalism's possible collapse with in clear language how globalization and capitalism are failing people throughout the world and why that means more BREXIT's and Donald Trumps are on the way. 

This is a talk gave on the Jimmy Dore show.

And here he talks about the aftermath of the US Presidential elections and the rise of "Trumpism" as he calls it around the globe.



What do you think about the global rise of Trumpsim, BREXIT and the possible backlash against the elites as Mark puts it.

If you are British please take the vote in the header about leaving the EU through BREXIT and if you are American please take the poll in the bottom about Donald Trump.

Or take both if you wish.

Please place your vote above in the header if you have't already.

An American Point of view on BREXIT

An American Point of view on BREXIT

The potential consequences of a so-called BREXIT – the British exit from the European Union -- on the nation’s economy, immigration, and sovereignty are deeply dividing British voters, with the latest polls very close.

Special Correspondent Patricia Sabga in England explores both sides of the debate.


What do you think of the Americans point of view on BREXIT?

Have you decided how you will vote yet?

Time is running out!

Why Staying In The EU Could Protect Us From US Corporations

Why Staying In The EU Could Protect Us From US Corporations

If you haven't heard of the major trade deal that has been negotiated in secret over the past few years between the US and Europe called the TTIP then you should read this article in the Telegraph.

The deal could be the most important piece of global legislation ever passed affecting all aspects of our lives and giving ultimate control over them to global corporations.



The Telegraph article discusses "Six reasons why the TTIP deal should scare you" 

The 6 reasons in short are:

1. Public services.

The NHS is in the firing line due to the TTIP deal. One of the main aims of TTIP is to open up Europe’s public health, education and water services to US companies. This could essentially mean the privatisation of the NHS.

2. Food Safety.

TTIP’s ‘regulatory convergence’ agenda will seek to bring EU standards on food safety and the environment closer to those of the US. But US regulations are much less strict, with 70% of all processed foods sold in US supermarkets now containing genetically modified ingredients. By contrast, the EU allows virtually no GM foods. The US also has far laxer restrictions on the use of pesticides. It also uses growth hormones in its beef which are restricted in Europe due to links to cancer. US farmers have tried to have these restrictions lifted repeatedly in the past through the World Trade Organisation and it is likely that they will use TTIP to do so again.

3. Banking regulations.

The UK, under the influence of the all-powerful City of London, is thought to be seeking a loosening of US banking regulations. America’s financial rules are tougher than ours. They were put into place after the financial crisis to directly curb the powers of bankers and avoid a similar crisis happening again. TTIP, it is feared, will remove those restrictions, effectively handing all those powers back to the bankers.

4. Privacy.

An easing of data privacy laws, tracking on the Internet and a restriction of public access to pharmaceutical companies’ clinical trials are also thought to be on the cards. We already through out the ACTA (the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement) after a massive majority in the European Parliament voted in 2012 after a huge public backlash, against this attack on individual privacy in which (ISP's) Internet Service Providers would be required to monitor people’s online activity. The TTIP would bring these plans to monitor us back into action.

5. Employment and Jobs

The EU has admitted that the TTIP will probably cause unemployment as jobs switch to the USA where labour standards and trade union rights are lower. It has even advised EU members to draw on European support funds to compensate for the expected unemployment.

6. Democracy.

TTIP’s biggest threat to society is its inherent assault on democracy. One of the main aims of TTIP is the introduction of Investor-State Dispute Settlements (ISDS), which allow companies to sue governments if those governments’ policies cause a loss of profits. In effect it means unelected transnational corporations can dictate the policies of democratically elected governments.



Luckily for us, our saviour might be our cross channel EU partner, France.

Due to the upcoming French Presidential elections and the huge outcry over the TTIP deal, whose details were only uncovered due to hacktivists like Wikipedia,

France is considering blocking the deal and if they do it means the EU won't be able to adopt it as it requires all members to sign up to it for it to pass.

France's main issues are that new powers granted to US companies could alter our existing laws over employment, farmers, workers rights and soveingty over the legal system. When US corporations can sue a government because their laws are "too restrictive" on their business then we are in dangerous territory.

As an article in the Independent states:

President Hollande has said he will "never accept" the deal in its current guise because of the rules it enforces on France and the rest of Europe - particularly in relation to farming and culture – claiming they are too friendly to US business.

“We will never accept questioning essential principles for our agriculture, our culture and for the reciprocity of access to public [procurement] markets,” Hollande is reported as saying at a meeting of left-wing politicians in Paris. “At this stage [of the talks] France says ‘No.'”

Personally I hope France does block it and if we left Europe there would be no doubt in my mind a Tory or Blairite government would sign the UK up to the TTIP on its own outside the EU.

This could be a major reason to vote to stay IN the EU.

If our own government won't protect us from US corporations then at least if we are part of the EU some more socially conscious nations like France could.

Read up on the TTIP here:

What is the TTIP?

Why France may block the TTIP

Will the TTIP deal affect your vote in the EU referendum?

Can  you trust the UK government to protect our NHS, health and safety, privacy and workers rights if they were outside the EU or would they sign up to the TTIP ASAP?

Let me know your thoughts.

London Mayor Boris Johnson Says Obama Should Stay Out of BREXIT Debate

London Mayor Boris Johnson Says Obama Should Stay Out of BREXIT Debate

London Mayor Boris Johnson called U.S. President Barack Obama a hypocrite on Monday (March 14) in his column for the Daily Telegraph newspaper.

He called Obama's plan to urge British voters to remain in the European Union a "piece of outrageous and exorbitant hypocrisy".

"There is an irony in that America is a country that defends its sovereignty, its democracy with more vigilance than any other country I can think of, it refuses to allow its citizens to be subject to any other international jurisdiction whatever. It would not for a minute countenance, pooling its national sovereignty in any way. And so it's curious that we should be urged further down that path," Johnson told reporters during an official visit to London's Olympic Park.

He refused to repeat the word "hypocrite", but when pressed on whether Obama's position on Britain remaining in the EU was hypocritical, Johnson said: "It is, it is. It is not something the United States would dream of doing themselves."

It is reported in UK media that Obama will come to London in April and will likely air his views on a possible Brexit in the upcoming June referendum.

Last year Obama told the BBC that the Britain should stay in the European Union to remain influential on the world stage.

A group of politicians in Britain have told President Obama to stay out of the BREXIT debate.

In a letter, the members said any move would be an “unfortunate milestone”. It was signed by Nigel Farage, leader of the UK Independence Party, Labour MPs Kelvin Hopkins and Kate Hoey, Tories Tom Pursglove and Peter Bone and the DUP’s Sammy Wilson, according to The Express.

“We have chosen to respectfully request he recognizes matters of sovereignty are best left to the citizens directly affected. We would certainly never think of visiting the United States and telling the U.S. public how to vote in an election,” said Hoey.
