Mugshots Of Commie Trump Protesters From ‘Red Guards Austin’ Will Make Your Day
[DAILYCALLER] Police in Austin, Texas have released the identities and mugshots of six communists who participated in weekend demonstrations near the state capitol building in response to the election of Donald Trump

Emails: Clinton Donor Claimed To Be In Cahoots With Head Of Conservative Think Tank
[DAILYCALLER] Arthur Brooks, president of the conservative nonprofit American Enterprise Institute, helped billionaire Clinton donor Lynn Forester de Rothschild secure the support of Republicans for Hillary Clinton
... former first lady, former secretary of state, former presidential candidate, sometimes described by her supporters as the smartest woman in the world, usually described by the rest of us as a crook...
, Rothschild claimed in an email to John Podesta exclusively reviewed by The Daily Caller.

An AEI spokesperson confirmed that Rothschild and Brooks know each other but strongly denied
No, no! Certainly not!
that Brook helped or was in contact with the Clinton campaign in any way, claiming Rothschild misunderstood Brooks’ words.

On June 28, almost two months after Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
had clinched the Republican nomination, Rothschild forwarded an email chain between herself and Brooks to Clinton campaign manager John Podesta and former Walmart executive Leslie Dach. As noted by Politico, Dach was in charge of bringing disaffected Republicans into the Clinton camp.

Rothschild told Podesta and Dach that Brooks was "helping me with many Republicans." The email chain between Rothschild and Brooks shows Rothschild pushing Brooks over how best to "engage you with Hillary" and Brooks replying that he would be "delighted to talk with Hillary or her campaign people."

Voter fraud complaints emerge in tight NC gov race
[FOXNEWS] The campaign for North Carolina GOP Gov. Patrick McCrory, whose reelection bid remains too close to call, is seizing on reports of potential voter fraud to raise questions about the integrity of last week's election.

McCrory trails by as many as 5,000 votes against Democratic challenger Roy Cooper -- eight days after the polls closed.

The fraud concerns emerged in a separate local election in Bladen County, where officials have acknowledged "overtly similar" handwriting on several hundred absentee ballots.

While a formal complaint was filed by the winner of that local supervisor race, the McCrory campaign alleges some evidence suggests a group associated with the state Democratic Party may have paid people to cast votes for a write-in Democrat in that race and every other Democrat on the ballot, including Cooper.

Campaign official Ricky Diaz on Wednesday cited evidence suggesting potentially similar situations in other counties, though he declined to say whether this suggests voter fraud is widespread enough to impact the gubernatorial election.

"It warrants scrutiny," he said. "We fully expect it will be looked at."

McCrory has faced political headwinds since July, when he signed legislation requiring transgender people to use restrooms in public buildings that are associated with their birth gender, not the gender to which they identify. The passage of the so-called "bathroom bill" resulted in a country-wide backlash, including the NBA moving its all-star game in February.

The fresh fraud complaints, while focused on Bladen County, could serve to stoke doubts about the ballot-counting statewide.

County election officials sent a letter Nov. 2 to state election officials about finding the similarities in several handwritten ballots.

The letter raised the possibility the similar handwriting could be the result of people legally assisting voters in filling out ballots. However,
corruption finds a dozen alibis for its evil deeds...
there was no accompanying documentation to verify this.

Democrats Pick Chuck Schumer to Become Senate Minority Leader
[BREITBART] Senate Republicans re-elected Mitch McConnell of Kentucky on Wednesday to be majority leader next year, keeping the respected legislative tactician at the forefront when the new Congress begins working on Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
’s agenda.

The chamber’s Democrats replaced their departing leader with Sen. Chuck Schumer
Senator-for-life from New York, renowned for his love of standing in front of cameras. Schumer has been a professional politician since 1975, when disco was in flower.
, meaning the New Yorker will be Washington’s most powerful Democrat as the party confronts a Republican-dominated government.

McConnell is widely popular among his GOP colleagues and his selection was never in doubt. The 74-year-old has a genteel manner but has proven to be a coolly effective leader, steering his party through a long battle over a Supreme Court vacancy and the stormy ‐ though ultimately successful ‐ presidential candidacy of Trump.

Tim Kaine Cites Importance of Senate Democrats as Check on Trump
[ROLLCALL] Sen. Tim Kaine was back at the Capitol Tuesday with a raised profile, and reflective after his ill-fated vice presidential bid.
Hillary Clinton's Joe Biden taste-alike.
The Virginia Democrat said he would be focusing his energy on the same issues he had before, particularly military issues important to his home state and his work on the Foreign Relations Committee. He was fully aware that Senate Democrats may be spending a lot of time blockading the agenda of President-elect Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
"The role of the Democratic Senate minority is going to be very, very important. And so it’s nice to get back to work after a little bit of kvetching to my wife and her kvetching to me over the weekend," Kaine said.
"Because of the role of a Senate minority, you know, we have the ability to cast a very clear spotlight on things. We have the ability in some instances to slow things down that should have been slowed down and even the ability to stop things," Kaine told news hounds. "So, my motto coming back is advance everywhere we can and defend everywhere we must."

Kaine said he was not going to prejudge decisions made by Trump, but the designation of Breitbart News executive Stephen Bannon as a top adviser in the White House next year did raise alarm bells for him.

Trump protesters plan to build ‘tea party of the left’
A movement to be securely held together by diaper pins.
It sounds like they want ACORN or International ANSWER.
[POLITICO] The protests that have roiled American cities since Election Day aren’t going anywhere. But rather than Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
, the first political casualties they claim may be establishment Democrats.

Leaders of the groups organizing some of the first outbursts of direct action in response to Trump’s surprise election are making plans to take to the streets through January’s inauguration and beyond. In frantic behind-the-scenes phone calls, text messages and Slack chats, they’re also planning to channel the energy unleashed last week into electoral politics, starting with Democratic primaries, to build what one organizer called a "tea party of the left."

"Our big goal is to support primary challenges against those Democrats who negotiate with Donald Trump," said the organizer, Waleed Shahid, a veteran of Bernie Sanders
...The only openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords...

also, Donald Trump, while being many things is not a Tea Party guy -- he wants a big infrastructure program run by govt., big govt trade policy -- all things the Tea Party was against -- I think Trump may have some taxation policies that the Tea Party would like but that's about all

Newt Gingrich: Seven questions for the New York Times
[FOXNEWS] On Sunday, the publisher and the executive editor of the New York Times published a letter to the paper’s readers, promising to “rededicate” the paper to its “fundamental mission”. That mission, they said, is to “report America and the world honestly, without fear or favor, striving always to understand and reflect all political perspectives and life experiences in the stories that we bring to you.”

This is as close as the Times is likely to come to apologizing to its readers for a year and a half of unbalanced--and often unhinged--coverage of the presidential race.

I grew up in an era when the New York Times was the greatest newspaper in the world. Throughout my political career, there were plenty of moments when I thought the paper’s coverage had an unfair slant. But I knew it remained America’s most revered newspaper, and that generally its reporters held themselves to the highest standards.
Newt -- and lotsa other people -- are misinterpreting what the Times said. They fudged it up during the election, so now they're going to “report America and the world honestly, without fear or favor, striving always to understand and reflect all political perspectives and life experiences in the stories that we bring to you.” That means they're going to investigate the hell out of the Trump administration and all its members and bring TRVTH™ to the benighted so they'll vote correctly next time.

Jim Webb: White Working People ‘Don’t Think Democrats Like Them’
[BREITBART] Tuesday on Fox News Channel’s "Tucker Carlson Tonight," former Sen. Jim Webb (D-VA) said part of the reason Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton
... former first lady, former secretary of state, former presidential candidate, sometimes described by her supporters as the smartest woman in the world, usually described by the rest of us as a crook...
lost is because white working people feel like they have become a "whipping post" for the Democratic Party’s "interest group politics," which has made them think Democrats don’t like them.
White people be like dat. Can't teach 'em nuffin'.
Webb said, "The base of the Democratic party used to be working people, regardless of race, ethnic, or ethnic identity, sexual orientation, et cetera. That was a Roosevelt agenda. That was the Truman agenda. Over time, and I think particularly over the last eight years, the Democratic Party has moved into interest group politics and in many cases white working people have become the whipping post, or were. I think what you saw in this election here is white working people in these rural areas seeing that someone actually was articulating the fact that they had become disenfranchised and they gravitated toward Trump in my view."
If you take from one to give to the other, the one gets the point in his pocketbook, even if the other sees his cumshaw diverted to campaign contributors.
He continued, "What I think has happened, I mention in there from the immigration act of 1965 forward, the ethnic and racial makeup of the country has dramatically changed, but the laws with respect to affirmative action and diversity have not.
1965 was, according to my possibly faulty calculations, 51 years ago. Precisely how long are our guiltless children and grandchildren supposed to live with affirmative action?
I mean, the laws were originally designed to help African-Americans move away from what they call the badges of slavery. It was the 13th amendment, a slavery amendment -- it expanded to the point where it’s anybody who doesn’t happen to be white was included in these diversity programs.
And many who are. As far as I can tell, white women are white.
And you see a natural reaction. You know, I mentioned Clay County, Kentucky, the poorest county in America, is 94% white, and wouldn’t if you were in that county with 40 percent poverty rate, wouldn’t you think this is reverse discrimination?"
But not only are they white, they're rural. They're ignorant hillbillies, who'll shoot you as soon as look at you.

Remember the movie "Matewan?" All the sympathetic Hollywood echo chamber characters are sittin' around the kitchen being diverse and drinking coffee.

Then the door opens and the Hillbilly steps in. If I remember correctly, he's got a beard and carrying his rifle. The room goes silent. Is he gonna kill them all on the spot?

Nope. He sez something stupidly banal like: "Thar be game in the hills. Take whut yew wants."

Then he leaves. Mass exhale.

It ain't a stereotype though. Dat's da way dem people is!

#2  There are only 2 constituencies that matter in a democracy. Those who pay the taxes, and those who receive the monies handed out by the government.

The so called Left Right divide is just a vestigial Marxist concept.

All Trump has to do is to reduce the money flows to those recipients and it automatically shrinks the constituency. Particularly government employees.

No shit, Sherlock.

#7  No Jim...close but not quite. It's not about "like" so much as it's about respect. The white working-class heard and read Clinton's words clearly. If they (many lifetime Democrats) didnt vote for the candidates that subscribe to Progressive policies they were deplorable racists. Oh and by the way, they may lose their jobs because she's gonna close down the industries her wealthy environmental doners don't aprove of.
