Voters want impeachment and a progressive policy agenda. House leaders have another idea.
When people say that Democrats should unify, the part they leave out is most important: Around what? Nearly everyone in Washington seems to assume that progressives should shut up, accept their place, and unify around the status quo.
Think about what an arrogant and preposterous request that is. Progressive leaders, including our representatives in Congress, should abandon all of our policy positions and sell out our voters to please the Democratic establishment. Saying “hell no” to that would be an enormous understatement.
If Democratic leaders don’t want to fight Donald Trump, that’s their problem, not ours. We signed up to rout him and send him home. If you’re not on board with that, get out of the way and let us do it. Democratic voters were clear in 2018 that they want Mr. Trump impeached. Yet again last week Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her allies blocked an opportunity by tabling Rep. Al Green’s resolution.
Unlike Mr. Green, I don’t think we need to discuss President Trump’s political or racial ideology to favor impeachment. The president has clearly committed two crimes. Robert Mueller’s report outlines double-digit instances of obstruction of justice. That’s a felony. Michael Cohen confirmed that Mr. Trump worked with him to pay hush money to Stormy Daniels in violation of campaign-finance laws—a crime for which Mr. Cohen is in prison.

Democratic powder to fight Republicans is forever dry. Detention centers without any constraints? Check. Defeating an amendment to prohibit the Pentagon from housing kids at the military facilities? Check. Continuing to let Mr. Trump run roughshod through a House the Democrats control is an abdication of responsibility.
Democrats have been surrendering to the GOP for as long as I have been alive.

That’s a distinction without a difference............
Their smug attitude at the beginning of that broadcast and the profanity-filled vitriol at the end of the broadcast was just amazing to watch.
‘Democrats have been surrendering to the GOP for as long as I have been alive.’
switch the order of the parties in this quote, and we have a typical posting on a typical FR thread...

And Cenk is a hardcore Muzzie like Black Mamba Omar.
A Bartender ,like Venezuela’s Bus Driver ,LOL
Cenk Uygur------if he is, as commonly believed, still a Turkish citizen,
he should shut up and stop telling us how to run our country.
“The president has clearly committed two crimes. Robert Mueller’s report outlines double-digit instances of obstruction of justice. That’s a felony.”
Even their lies don’t make sense. Which is it? Two crimes or double-digit instances?
How is it AOC was once slobbing up bar spills and is now in Congress and wearing $600 watches, bags, shoes and a different $2000 outfit everyday?
BACKSTORY: “Justice Democrats” and “Brand New Congress” are a group of Bernie Sanders ex-staffers who decided 2018 midterms should be all about Bernie’s policies, finding 400 Bernie carbon copies to dump into races. They held auditions. AOC was hired to run in NY.
NOTE
<><> “Brand New Congress” mastermind is Saikat Chakrabarti
<><> “Justice Democrats” is Cenk Uygur, a Turkish-born Muslim.
Making a pile of money musta been a huge incentive. Read on.
FAST FORWARD TO TODAY.......an FEC complaint was filed alleging AOC’s COS, Saikat Chakrabarti, created multiple
private companies—LLCs—to siphon off campaign contributions from her various PACs for personal use......
BTW, AOC has a lot more in common with Bernie than socialism.Besides socialism (gag)....
AOC’s COS used to be Bernie’s....wait for it.....”Director of Organizing Technology.”
AND THIS—Saikat Chakrabarti, is a proven tech expert.
(A) He co-founded a web design tool,
(B) He built up the product team at the payment processor “Stripe”.........
(C) He then came to the Sanders campaign after (cough) growing disillusioned with the tech world.
Saikat Chakrabarti was Bernie’s Director of Organizing Technology. Even old man Bernie knew enough to hire a tech expert.
So, I guess (smirk) Chakrabarti’s tech skills musta come in mighty handy when donations to Bernie were
wire-transferred to the DNC and ended up in 2016 candidate Hillary’s account.
Debbie W/S headed the DNC at the time and was ousted b/c of her bias for Hillary.
Course, none of us heard about any of this, but.....
<><> Chakrabarti-the-tech-whiz did find out about the DNC theft, didnt he?
<><> Chakrabarti did speak to D/W/S about it, or to Debbie’s tech expert, Imran Awan, didnt he?
<><> Chakrabarti did tell Bernie he was fleeced, didnt he?
<><> Chakrabarti WAS working for Bernie, wasnt he?
Now the stunning details about that FEC complaint:
The FEC complaint asserts that AOC’s COS, Saikat Chakrabarti, early on established two PACs that raised big bucks for AOC’s campaign:
<><> the “Brand New Congress PAC,” and,
<><> the “Justice Democrats PAC.”
After mucho money was raised from the progressive suckers, Chakrabarti systematically transferred $885,000+ in PAC contributions to his private companies with similar names:
<><> the “Brand New Campaign LLC,” and,
<><> the “ Brand New Congress LLC.”
Saikat Chakrabarti’s private companies, unlike PACs, are exempt from reporting all of their significant expenditures.
NOTE WELL: it’s a much-used criminal act to enrich oneself, to open bank accounts using similarly named
entities to siphon off money, to hide it from partners, associates, investors etc.
SIPHONINGS A CINCH It’s easy to siphon off money for oneself by putting checks into the new accounts with similar names, depositing checks that were made out to
the original entity. Even your bank advises that if a check-writer “mis-spelled” your name, to just endorse the check with the correct name.
AND PRESTO: a check made out to Brand New Congress PAC, is deposited in the Brand New Congress LLC account.
ANALYSIS -— Chakrabarti’s companies appear to have been set up for the sole purpose of obscuring how AOC’s donations were used. The arrangement skirted reporting requirements and may have violated the $5,000 limit on contributions, according to the FEC complaint filed by the National Legal and Policy Center, a government watchdog group.
Campaign finance attorneys described the arrangement as “really weird” and an indication “there’s something amiss.” They said there was no way of telling where the political donations went — meaning (A) the donations could have been pocketed, or, (B) used by the LLC’s to pay for off-the-books campaign operations.-—SNIP-—SOURCED FROM FR.
JUST WONDERING .....does Chakrabarti have a reputation among Democraps for facilitating the conversion of campaign donations?
Maybe we should ask millionaire landowner Socialist Bernie (smirk)?
Who slipped ‘shrooms into the WSJ editors coffee to prompt them to hand the psychotic commie Uygur an op-ed slot?
Cenk Uygur is a Turk. All Turks deny the Armenian genocide.
In a supreme irony, one of his henchgirls is Ana Kasparian, of Armenian background. Apparently their shared radical politics overrides historical memory.
Yes, I always thought that it was a bit odd for Ana to be on the show. As you said, Leftist politics are more important to her than the history of her ancestors.
Both Drunk Drivers..............
Watch this video as if your life depended on it. It explains why this “author” wrote this. It explains “The Brains Behind AOC” and so much more of what is going on in politics these days:

Judging from how quickly their Presidential candidates raised their hands to the absurd questions, AOC has seized Democratic Party leadership. These wimps are afraid to oppose her.
