Laws are for conservatives rats go free
They are not “democratic.” They are Democrat. There’s a big difference.
Under Article I Section 8’s District clause Congress run’s DC. The delegation to DC residents as Home Rule can be taken back and should at least be limited. It was a MUCH nicer place before that.
Some of the original DC was given back to VA. Some could be given back to MD. Shifting some of Fedzilla to other places could help. Shifting some of it to non-existence could hep more! Much of what Fedzilla does should be done, if at all, at the state level. And those states should be able to commit different priorities and levels of resources to them. But rules for inside DC are constitutionally set by the Congress of the whole country, NOT by its residents. If one doesn’t like that live elsewhere.
When PV is involved “heavily edited” is a required addition by the MSM.
PV will appeal, and they have a LOT of money to do so as they’ve won some big cases.
“Jurors in Washington...”
There is no such think as a fair trial in DC.
I remember watching Mike Wallace chase workers in a meat packing plant with fake stamps that were used to sell the same side of prime beef to multiple customers. It was a hoot. The “sting” is a time honored journalistic practice.
Really? I know O’Keefe had to pay some ACORN guy money but I never heard of them winning anything.
What have they won?
Go to their website. They’ve got a wall filled with cases they’ve won. Millions of dollars.
Humiliate a feral Federal jury by invoking the protections afforded by Sullivan.
Punch down, punch down, punch down.
Ping. Creamer and his ally Scott Foval acted as agents provocateur organizing violence on behalf of the Clinton campaign in 2016. They are linked to the Midwest Academy, descended from students of Saul Alinsky, notably Heather Booth.

. . .In 1969 Heather and Paul Booth, along with onetime SDS field secretary Steve Max and radical community organizer Harry Boyte, published a pamphlet titled Socialism and the Coming Decade. This screed said that because the U.S. had entered a “non-revolutionary period,” socialist activists should eschew confrontational tactics in favor of a stealth, incremental approach to social change. It further advised community organizations to agitate for concrete issues like urban redevelopment and health care, thereby giving “the socialist movement relevance to the daily lives of the people.”
In 1971, Heather Booth co-authored Socialist Feminism: A Strategy for the Women’s Movement. Asserting that community organizers should strive to “weake[n] the power of the ruling class,” this pamphlet promoted such radical agendas as free universal healthcare, the disarming of police officers, and collective societal responsibility for childrearing. Nonetheless, Booth in her personal life was cautious not to reveal too much, too quickly, about her radical agendas to women who were not “conscious socialists” like herself, preferring instead to use a gradualist approach with such people.
In the summer of ’71, Booth enrolled in Saul Alinsky‘s Chicago-based, organizer-training institute, the Industrial Areas Foundation (IAF). According to Booth, “Alinsky is to community organizing as Freud is to psychoanalysis.” One of Booth’s classmates at IAF, Jerry Kellman, would later serve as a training mentor to a young Barack Obama in the mid-1980s.
In April of 1972, Heather and Paul Booth, along with Day and Robert Creamer, taught an organizer-training workshop sponsored by the fledgling New American Movement (NAM), a group that advocated radicalism and revolution rather than quiet infiltration into establishment politics.
By 1975, Heather Booth would leave NAM and ally herself instead with Michael Harrington’s more pragmatic Democratic Socialist Organizing Committee, a predecessor to the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). Booth subsequently belonged to DSA as well.
In 1973, Booth and Steve Max co-founded the Midwest Academy, a training institute for leftist activism and socialist ideology. There, Booth taught the Academy’s continuing “socialism session,” which included lessons covering everything from Marx, Engels, and Lenin through Michael Harrington’s democratic socialism and SDS. . .
They have their Wall of Shame with press retractions that have been published but I see nothing about lawsuits they’ve won, let alone damages they’ve been awarded.
