  1. You mean you bomb an area for 2 decades to extort their resources and the result is they don't like you? Who could have guessed?
    224
  2. Republican 101 never money for the needy but always plenty for the greedy.
    156
  3. There is an election in Israel in a month trump should resign and move there now so he can run to be the head of Israel since he thinks he is their chosen one.
    152
  4. Just imagine for a minute that Germany declared the election in the USA as invalid and recognized Nancy Pelosi as the president of the USA. This is what we are seeing the USA do with Venezuela.
    125
  5. Anyone who calls for a USA military invasion should buy a airline ticket to the middle east to see what a bombed out society looks like.
    119
  6. No money for soap in concentration camps but plenty of money for tanks in DC.
    116
  7. That is what unity of the working class looks like. When enough people stand together the wealthy elite can't push us around.
    71
  8. These people act like the democratic party didn't argue in court after the Bernie Sanders campaign that they could literally ignore all the voters in the primary and hand pick the candidates they want. The leadership has made it clear progressives won't win the party. We need ranked choice voting and more parties to end the duopoly of evil.
    42
  9. So basically the media is trashing Bernie Sanders supporters because there are a lot of them. Because you know having more support in a democracy would be a bad thing?
    41
  10. Bloomberg has spent 100 times Bernie Sanders net worth on ads to buy this election that is an oligarch.
    41
  11. If Warren wanted to debate policy she shouldn't have tried to play identity politics based on a private conversation that took place 2 years ago. This "fight" is just Warren listening to the same advisers who gave us trump by running Hillary Clinton identity politics.
    40
  12. Yes the federal court in the usa ruled that there was genocide in Gaza but ruled the court couldn't interfere with foreign policy. Not sure how we enforce the genocide convention if not in federal court.
    38
  13. We overthrow the government of Iran once before and it was a miserable failure for the USA we need to learn from that history and not repeat it.
    37
  14. Always money for the greedy never money for the needy. Crony capitalism 101.
    37
  15. That 2001 resolution to use military force needs to be repealed. It is a prime example of government overreach that the executive branch keeps using it to rationalize new wars.
    34
  16. The democratic party got exactly what the donors wanted. They limited the spectrum to the gap between Trump and Dick Cheney. Making sure we never get a Bernie Sanders or Jill Stein.
    32
  17. The GOP has to pay for those tax cuts to corporations somehow those stock buybacks don't come free. Anyone who values the working class citizens of this nation over the wealthy barrons of industry has a clear choice vote for Bernie Sanders.
    31
  18. When it comes to sanctions human suffering isn't the bug it is the goal. The entire purpose is to make people suffer so much their government will bend to the will of the foreign countries limiting the freedom of other sovereign nations.
    28
  19. Not only a victory for Bernie Sanders but also for good old fashioned paper ballots. NH was able to count paper ballots with no scandals.
    22
  20. All that will be achieved with the fed lowering interest rates to address uncertainty caused by the trade wars is to make a credit bubble which will make the inevitable crash worse.
    21
  21. Ironically the gop wrote about the value of closed door hearing in the Benghazi summary report. Almost like they have no real constant values.
    19
  22. The sad truth is the USA could have completely switched to 100% renewable energy for the cost of the forever oil wars in the middle east. But instead we spend nearly 1 trillion dollars a year on our military budget which hides tanks in foreign countries to fight more oil wars. It is time to end the olargacry control by the ff industry and pass the green new deal switching the USA to 100% local renewable energy.
    19
  23. Time to nationalize the healthcare system including health insurance.
    18
  24. 29 billion dollars more than Joe Biden asked for was just approved for the military industrial complex. This is not a problem of resources it is a problem of priorities.
    18
  25. Can we transition the presidental vacation fund to a block grant. Trump just blew more money that the avg American will earn in their lifetime for one superbowl party.
    17
  26. They added over $100 billion dollars to the military budget last year. We need to make sure Congress understands we are done funding the military industrial complex. We need to cut the military budget in half not increase it again year after year.
    17
  27. Then VP Pence went to a rally and told the people there that they did this attack because one American contractor was killed.
    15
  28. The better question for her is how has it worked out for Iraq and Afghanistan to be bombed by the USA for 2 decades
    15
  29. This is just one more nail in the coffin in the nail of the olargacry because it will only force more people to join Justice Democrats and donate to the non currupt candidates.
    15
  30. The peoblem is we can't solve the problem of Trump by returning to the neoliberalism which gave us trump. Going back to the Obama Biden administration for the next four years will be a massive failure for the country. Neoliberalism is not the answer and repeating that mistake by returning to the failed system which will not rise to the crisis we face today. How will Biden actually address the issues we face today? He has said nothing will fundamentally change for his donors. That mean in 4 years the backlash will be a actually competent right wing fascist. Biden is only a 4 year delay not a solution.
    15
  31. You need to follow Bernie Sanders AOC and Ro Khanna to name a few. The Justice Democrats are fighting to take the Democratic party back to it's roots as a party for the working class.
    15
  32. Marianne Williamson is showing why west can't run in yhe dem party
    14
  33. Funny how these people so worried about property don't want to stop the climate crisis which is destroying private property in the forms of forest fires. It isn't about the property
    14
  34. Regime change in Venezuela and Iran is all about the oil. The way to end the USA meddling in these countries is simple pass the green new deal and become 100% local renewable energy. Once we end the dependency on the ff industry the government of the United States will stop waging wars for the benifit of the ff industry.
    13
  35. The technology transfer was an issue in the 90s and early 2000s now we have already given away the technology. China already has the skills and training to make their own advances. We need to focus on how we transition off ff and into an electric future.
    13
  36. On my way out the door right now to register and vote in NH. Guess that makes me one of the non voters Bernie Sanders got to turnout today.
    13
  37. Game of go or chess. The USA is screwed trump and John Bolton couldn't even win at checkers.
    10
  38. Classic trump create a crisis. Then make a deal to get half of the losses back from your crisis and declare victory.
    10
  39. No one asked how we pay for storing tanks in caves in Norway. But if you think the government should educate our youth or provide a social safety net for the needy they tell you there is no money left after spending it on tanks in caves.
    10
  40. Which is why we need to pass the green new deal and end the oil wars. 100% local renewable energy is the only way we end the oil wars.
    9
  41. Military praises only serve to tell the public if you get out of line remember we have this military to put you back in your place. Dictators have military praise to put fear into their own citizens nothing else.
    9
  42. Once again the right wing uses projection accusing other of what they do themselves.
    9
  43.  Donald McCarthy  someone needs to explain to them that genocide is a war crime.
    9
  44. Funny that when Jamie talks about Bernie Sanders and a platform he can't being himself to say Medicare for All the signature part if the Bernie Sanders campaign that brought out the working class. What he has said is the democratic party is trying to keep the status quo where the working class lives paycheck to paycheck. Sounds a lot like Bush telling the woman working 3 jobs how uniquely American of her.
    8
  45. The solution is the movement for the people's party and rank choice voting. We need to show them that we won't vote for them or they have no reason to listen to us and won't.
    8
  46. Welcome to the police state.
    8
  47. I am pretty sure it began when we realized Venezuela had oil resources we could plunder.
    8
  48. One measure shows Americans have paid an extra $34 billion in tariffs since the start of the trade war with China https://www.businessinsider.com/china-trade-war-tariffs-have-cost-us-34-billion-2019-10 That isn't helping my wallet as a poor self employed farmer.
    8
  49. Good bye. You only harm yourself with your ignorance.
    8
  50. Time for the homeless to camp out at the politicans homes.
    8
  51. No one seems to remember that the head of the DOJ when that ruling was written went to jail for protecting president Nixon. It is a bogus DOJ policy written by a criminal to protect another criminal Republican president.
    8
  52. Marc I usually agree with you. But when it comes to the comment that Biden can be pulled either to work with Republicans or Progressives I have to disagree. I see no sign in his voting record or public statements to support that. He has made it very clear that he is proud of his history of working with Republicans. Biden policy wise is a Republican from the 80s era. He has stated he will veto Medicare for All if it where to make it to his desk. That he has no empathy for the youth of this country struggling with college debt. I get the argument that trump is a wannabe dictator but I don't understand why anyone thinks Biden can be made into an FDR style democratic president that we need to get us out of the crisis we face.
    8
  53. The banks couldn't be happier. They know how Harris allowed one west bank to maximize profits off foreclosures in 2009. Buckle up for 20 million Americans to be evicted and homeless.
    8
  54.  Donald McCarthy  oh the other problem with your response is that Obama tool us from war in 2 countries to 7. So it is a problem with both neoliberalism and neoconservatives.
    8
  55. The too big to fail experience showed us the reality is these multi national corporations get too big in our current caplistist system. The solution is either to force a regulatory maximize size for corporations or to nationalize the services. I would choose a maximum allowed size and to break up any company which chooses to grow beyond that maximum safe size where their failure will not endanger the rest of our economy.
    8
  56. Half a century of globalization has resulted in oppressing people globally the same way. You could very well expect to hear these same issues raised at a Bernie Sanders campaign speech or a yellow vest protest. It is shocking to see how much the oligarchy has in common the world over. It is long past time we end the reign of the global elite class and go back to supporting the rights of the working class.
    7
  57.  @bradleyscott4947  no one has declared anyone other then trump president of the United States. The fact that Mueller has documented several crimes is not the same thing at all.
    7
  58. Ofcourse there is an easy answer. The Congress could pass a law making it illegal for any politician to lie in an ad. If they are proven to run ads with lies they disqualify themselves from the election and ban them from ever holding public office again.
    7
  59. So the answer is 2050. Because if you have to provide a 20 year window starting 11 years out clearly you don't take the 12 year window starting in 2018 that the world scientists presented seriously. No thank you we need politicians who actually understand scheduling based on science.

  60. Who could have known when Jared asked his "uncle" Netanyahu for a peace plan that the Palestinians wouldn't like the results?
    7
  61. ​ @intbydes I have tried 3 time to post the court case in California but it keeps getting deleted.
    6
  62. ​ @tyfromuzi5871 yes it is frustrating when you literally copy an AP headline for someone to look up and it gets deleted.
    6
  63. The fraud is the trillions of dollars in tax payer subdies to the ff industry. If you want to be mad about industries robbing tax dollars be mad at the ff industry. They take your tax payer money use it to frack the country and pump toxic waste into the ground water. Causing cancer and climate change at the same time.
    6
  64. Funny how Bill Barr and the other trump enablers are not in jail for refusing to comply with the subpoena from the house of representatives. It is almost like we have a different justice system for the elites.
    6
  65.  @andreanacalhoun5402  you already are a slave to the olargacry who own this country. You can't be self employed without giving up your employer based health insurance and a small independent worker can't afford health insurance because you have no bargaining power with the large for profit insurance companies.
    6
  66. We need to end the private funding of public elections. Www.wolf-pac.com
    6
  67.  Theta Dream  wrong the only reason the USA gives 2 shits about Venezuela is because Koch Industries wants their crude oil for their refineries. American capitalist capture of our government is the problem. The barrons of industry use our government for their means. Socialism for the donor class is the American way and the problem.
    6
  68.  @denverattaway9895  sanctions are actually humanitarian crimes. Denying a government access to food and medical supplies they need to feed their citizens. All in the hope that if enough citizens die the remaining ones will start a revolution.
    6
  69. Great discussion. Could you have the guest explain the terms global north and south. They are often used but seldom defined. I am left with the impression they are synonymous with developing vs developed countries.
    6
  70. Tulsi has come out in support of Medcare for All. She was a co sponsor of HR676
    6
  71. What is more than unconditional support?
    6
  72. You can't get worse then Unconditional support
    6
  73. If Israel wants to ban members of our government from entering their country fine. But remember they vote on where the USA funding goes. There is no reason we need our tax dollars going to fund Israel. We have wasted billions on Israel time to stop the flow of tax payer money in the USA to Israel.
    6
  74. We need rank choice voting and more parties there is no party for the working class in America both parties are owned by the caplistist class
    6
  75. Just think if we spent that money on renewable energy we wouldn't need to fight wars over oil fields.
    6
  76. People figured out working 20 hours a week at Walmart might count as employment for the government department of labor but it won't pay your bills.
    6
  77. It was Bush who started the middle east oil wars not Obama. So for starters your revisionist history doesn't fly here. But for the record Trump didn't being these troops home he redeployed them to Iraq and sent 1800 more troops to SA to defend their oil fields. So don't try to say trump is ending the wars he has made it crystal clear that he is going to continue to use US Troops as human shields for the Middle East oil fields. If you want to end the oil wars vote for Bernie Sanders or Tulsi Gabbard both have legislation which would end the demand for oil switching us to 100% renewable energy and ending the oil wars.

  78. Middle ground on climate change Is the same as asking the doctor to only remove half your cancer.
    6
  79. What a joke that is 1.5 times the time since Jesus walked the streets of the Roman empire. The reality is no human enterprise has lasted that long so they are writing off Alberta as a wasteland.
    6
  80. Nice to see you don't value the rule of law or the constitution. You will vote for someone who is in direct violation of the constitution. So never again call yourself a constitutional originalist.

  81. Jimmy Doore had the best reaction. He said why wait Joe people will definitely vote for the person who has already cured cancer.
    5
  82. So when will you deport the first lady? Oh right she is white and your demigods imported trophy wife who worked here illegally as a "model" before he bought her citizenship and her parents used chain migration. Funny how the right wing keeps saying it is ok for us not for everyone else
    5
  83. Does sound like we exported our failed medical system in order to crush their society.
    5
  84.  @954brent954  trump is just a racist idiot who probably can't find the UK on a map. This is the same guy who said Porta Rico is surrounded by water big water ocean water. I would be surprised if Trump could tell the two places appart.
    5
  85. United we stand divide we fall.
    5
  86.  Alfonso Padilla  it is a failed oil state suffering under oppressive sanctions no form of government would have survived that. When the price of your primary export drops to 1/3 of its value over a decade and then another government freezes your government's funds and forces sanctions on your country any form of government will collapse. So infact you could call them a victim of American imperialism.
    5
  87. I know what is causing it. Our society is addicted to the ff industry. If we stop using ff for energy and switch to 100% renewable energy we will end the oil spills. No one complains when the energy source for a solar panels "spills" into our environment we just call it a beautiful sunny day.
    5
  88. Most of the issues she lists are also happening in the USA except that we haven't started using the military against our citizens yet. Trump is rapidly trying to privatize all the same things she mentioned and is giving public lands to industry as fast as he can for fracking and other extraction.
    5
  89. Buy a clue. Bernie Sanders went on Fox news and said he wasn't in favor of open borders. Bernie Sanders just believe that border security technology has advanced since china built the great wall. Trump is an idiot who is just jealous of the fact that China has a bigger wall.

  90. I think you are an idiot.

  91.  @angelbennett3891  FDR was for the people the new deal was about putting people first

  92. Pass the green new deal and end the oil wars.

  93.  tad562  well the companies can afford it Trump cut their taxes more. I don't give this administration any credit for a plan it is simply yelling and screaming to make some more fear mongering for the base. Sorry but having been an engineer who watched upper management exnore the advice of the VP of engineering and the entire engineering staff and outsource our technology to China in the quest of profits I have zero sympathy left for the corporations who spend the last half century outsourcing their technology. Their short term quest for profits was too great to protect their long term interests even when fully I informed of the cost. That puts the blame squarely on the hands of upper management and multinational corporations.

  94. We need to run Justice Democrats against every single member of the Senate who voted no.
    4
  95. Try saying something Elon doesn't like on X.

  96. Medicare for All doesn't help black people? Guess you think they don't need Medical care like the wealthy elite who can afford it in our society. Free college education doesn't help black voters? Guess you think they enjoy being in debt for their education. Criminal Justice Reform including ending cash bail doesn't help black Americans? Guess you think it is only wealthy white people like Bloomberg who can't afford to make bail. The reality is Bernie Sanders has polices which help all members of the working class. Because regardless of your race or gender the wealthy plutocrats are screwing all of us. That is why Bernie Sanders asks are you willing to fight for the person you don't know the person who doesn't look like you?

  97. 20 billion dollars would provide housing for all the homeless in 2020. They just approved 29 billion dollars more than Biden asked for to the military industrial complex. This isn't an issue of resources it is an issue of priorities

  98.  @jasonwolfe920  I give you permission to copy at will

  99. Can we deport the first lady and her family now she is an illegal immigrant by trumps standard he hired her when she didn't have a work Visa. And she definitely takes advantage of public housing now.

  100. Ro Khanna would be a great VP.

  101. ​ @intbydes see 35 minutes into the video

  102. When you depend on the barrons of industry through deregulation you end up without redundancy or reliably. That is the real lesson to be learned. This was 100% avoidable but it would have cost the energy companies some of their profits.
    3
  103. Nope just a lack of regulations and enforcement. It is cheaper to exnore risk and hope for the best once there is a problem exnore it and deny responsibility.
    3
  104.  @nicolasbouyiouclis4726  it did happen in the USA it is just that we have had a half century of union busting politicians pushing rugged individualism on our society. But that seems to have lost popularity with the realization that we are losing the class warfare Warren Buffett told us he was winning years ago
    3
  105. Yelling at people doesn't convince them that your ff industry propaganda is correct. The scientists have made the facts known and we all understand the cause of the crisis we face today.
    3
  106. Bernie Sanders will crush trump. Every poll shows it. Trump's chances of reelection look just like the stock market this last week. Crashing you know that great stock market trump has prided himself on. Well it just lost more value then it gained all of last year and it is still falling.
    3
  107. ​​ @michellehenry6773 my point is simply show me one time in history that a party had more then two presidents in a row. Even Kellyanne Conway can't. FDR was the longest sitting president and the GOP made sure that would never happen again as soon as he was out of office.
    3
  108. ​ @jharvey9898  what hate. You seem full of projection. As to my personal faith I believe in freedom of all religions in the usa it is built into our constitution so stop trying to convert the world to yours.

  109. What the elites don't understand is that the 99% don't like them so the more they attack Bernie the more support Bernie Sanders will get.
    3
  110. Comparing retaining in the green new deal with health insurance for coal miners is a very poor attempt at gaslighting. Saying that people simply don't believe the government can anything right. Tragic.
    3
  111. This is why we need to switch to 100% renewable energy.
    3
  112.  @davidsonnow  well I don't think their 20 billion dollars a year can touch our 750 billion dollars of military budget but you missed the point that the last time we tried to overthrow their government we ended up with the most extreme anti American government in the middle east. We don't need to repeat that failure again
    3
  113. Well you know ExxonMobil had to get something out of the revolving door of government.
    3
  114. Bolton failed to get an oil war started in Venezuela so now he is trying to start an oil war in Iran. Pass the green new deal and end the oil wars. Once we are 100% renewable energy no one will care what happens in the middle east and our troops can come home.
    3
  115. Yup it is called wag the dog. There was a movie about it during the clition administration.

  116. 600,000 plus dead Americans and you disagree their deaths like this disgusting.
    3
  117. Tell me one time that has been a defense in a court of law that has actually worked. The fact that someone else got away with crime doesn't stop the criminal justice system from ever enforce that law again.
    3
  118. Infact most of the engineers probably told upper management in no uncertain terms what they where giving away. I saw this first hand as an engineer.

  119. Sure attack the person who was going through kemo for not running for president. Brilliant.

  120. CHICAGO/COLUMBUS, Neb. (Reuters) - At least 1 million acres (405,000 hectares) of U.S. farmland were flooded after the "bomb cyclone" storm left wide swaths of nine major grain producing states under water this month, satellite data analyzed by Gro Intelligence for Reuters showed. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-weather-floods-exclusive/exclusive-more-than-1-million-acres-of-u-s-cropland-ravaged-by-floods-idUSKCN1RA2AW Ask then when the last bomb cyclone hit causing farmers to be unable to plant their crops.

  121. Wow the GOP must have paid their trolls tonight.
    3
  122. He should be impeached for using military force without an immediate threat even Republican senators pointed that out after their "briefing" on latest usage of military force.
    3
  123. Given how the house functions today under the GOP I wouldn't expect much better when they act the same in the senate and Whitehouse
    3
  124. Funny how when the ff industry wins no one asks how will we pay for that 1 billion dollars. But say you want to spend the same money on renewable energy listen to them scream.

  125. That truck driver better be charged with vehicular assault.
    3
  126. Well if you read through the comments below the video you will see several people who failed the test in the video and are upset by what Graham "said" in that ad which the video tries to make clear was fake. So you might be able to sort it out but clearly even when told it was fake some people where tricked.

  127. Unfortunately with the GOP this isn't the bug it is the feature. The entire party is full angry old white men who are scared of "the others"

  128.  @Raykibb1  lol I would be happy to let them fail and go bankrupt I just want to regulate the market enough that they don't hold the government hostage for their losses.

  129. It isn't about the money. $750 billion annually for the military $300 billion annually for the bipartisan infrastructure bill over 5 year 1.5 trillion $175 billion annually reconciliation bill. 1.76 trillion over 10 years talking point. Joe Manchin the GOP and the media only asked how do we pay for the least expensive of the 3 bills and listed it funding over the longest time line to make you think it was the most expensive not the least expensive.
    3
  130. We will have to nationalize these services or we will simply delay the pain as people continue to run up Bill's they can't pay back. We are seeing a repeat of the 2008 2009 foreclosure crisis. Before we know it there will be millions of homeless.
    3
  131. Just think how much better off we would be if Paula Jean was the senator from West Virginia. Hopefully the people's party and rank choice voting can make that happen.
    3
  132. Does anyone else see the irony of an administration which is trying to tighten the control of our borders while simultaneously ramping up to invade Venezuela and spreading propaganda about how they are stopping "aid" from crossing their border? Why is it that the United States seems to believe it is the only country with the right to control what enters its territory?

  133. Once again Jimmy Doore is proven correct to question the establishment media.

  134. Exit polls show the Majority of the Democratic voters want Medicare for All. Biden said on TV he would veto Medicare for All if it passed Congress as president. Biden is not in line with the majority of democratic voters he is the extremist not the moderate.

  135. We don't need to crash the economy trump has crashed it by denying science.

  136. Good reporting except that given the age of that refinery I suspect the refinery wasn't built in the black community but rather the black community was built around the refinery for lack of better employment and land opportunities. It is a small point but I different problem then putting a polluting business into a community. Both are bad issues that need to be addressed.
    2
  137. Keep dreaming that couldn't even happen in alternative facts world.

  138.  tad562  actually tarrifs just allow companies in your own country to raise the cost of goods and not be undercut by a foreign country with lower costs. In theory they are not bad it forces the other countries to either raise their wages or lose the ecominic benefit of lower wages. The system is broken because the companies in the USA will infact raise the prices but keep the excess in profits. Our loss of manufacturing jobs has nothing to do with competition and everything to do with outsourcing for profit and greed. If tarrifs had been used effectively the money would flow back into the economy to boost our employment and manufacturing base but as it is all we see is more cost pushed onto an already stressed lower class. The middle class is already gone. As Warren Buffett said it is class warfare and his class is winning.

  144.  @gbuz5789  this is about the president of the United States violating the constitution of the United States. Among his other crimes. Also about his lawyers going into court rooms and arguing that the president of the United States is literally above the law. Again an attack on the very constitution of the the United States which clearly states that the three branches of government function as checks and balances on each other. But you totally missed the point the House is following the very same rules the GOP passed in 2015 and used for the Benghazi hearings so if you approved of the process then which the GOP clearly did you can't argue the process is not fair now that your party is on the other side of the hearings. The GOP seems to have forgotten the golden rule saids treat others as you would have then treat you. The GOP seems to think the golden rule is he who has the gold rules.

  147. We need to ask politicians what level of support policy needs from the citizens in a democracy for them to support it. We know it isn't 70% or we would have Medicare for All.

  153. Identity politics is a losing game in 2020. If the Democrats allow the race to be run on the GOP terms of racism it is a muddy mess of a fight which will turn off voters and embolden the white supremacists to turn out in support of the GOP. If we stick to politics like Medicare for All which is popular with a majority of the population we will expand the electorate and win. Fighting climate change is also an issue which can expand the electorate renewable energy is very popular we need to focus on groups like Sunrise Movement which can bring in first time of disengaged people. Don't try to win over the too far gone just focus on boosting turnout.

All we need is for Justice Democrats to run in every single race in 2020 and the sunrise movement and other progressives to show up and vote for them. We have the 1% massively out numbered with the 99% rest of us. The largest block by far in the USA electoral system is the non voter. If we give them an option worth voting for we can take back the government. Remember the smallest age demographic is the elderly population but yet 70% of the Senate is over 60 representing retired Americans. If we get the youth to vote we can flip that so the government actually matches the citizens and our values.

  156.  @Martial-Mat  it was caused by home equity loans and the fed keeping interest rates artificially low. That is what caused the housing bubble. If sub prime morgans where not offered the value or houses wouldn't have continued to climb causing the crash. The problem with the current credit crisis is that businesses are taking out loans at low rates and using the money for stock buybacks which is just profiteering on the part of management and the share holders. But the business is left with the loan to payback and no additional value in the company to pay it back with. Unlike when Tesla takes loans to build new factories which will return value to the company in new capacity.

  161. The more important thing to watch is how the federal reserve creates and distributes new money. 20 trillion dollars last year all created and pumped into the stock market increasing income inequality. That same new money would have paid a UBI or Medicare for All and decreased income inequality if the government wanted to use their ability to create money to help the working class not the wealthy.

  162. Wow you even got the fact about how the climate predictions have been wrong in the past backwards.

  164. All the more reason for us to push as hard as we can to get the green new deal and end the oil wars. The less oil we use the less money and power the koch brothers have.

  165. Allow people to leave the grid in California. At the moment there are regulations requiring that you be attached. Also we need to pass regulations to bury all power lines in high fire risk areas.

We need to put safety of the community over profits it is the purpose of the government to regulate the private sector protecting the health and wellbeing of the community.

  166. No it is time to stop public subsidies for the ff industry and let the capitalists take their financial losses. It is a dieing industry.

  207.  @gbuz5789  you refuse to see really infornt of your face. The GOP argues over quid pro quo but the reality is asking a foreign country to investigate your political rivals is in itself a crime. That is one felony for you. Second felony Trump's own chief of staff held a press conference where he stated yes there was quid pro quo we do it all the time. Now on to the constitution in the same press conference they announced trump would once again violate the constitution and accept money from foreign countries. You can check with the massive left wing fox news network for more details on the G7 because their very own Judge was very clear. While the GOP refuese to admit that SA renting hundreds of rooms in trump hotels that they never use also violates the constitution of the United States they did have to admit hosting the G7 at a trump property with a no bid contract would be a bridge to far. To which trump held a press conference where he call the constitution itself phony. Yes the president of the United States called the constitution phony. Again look it up you should be so proud that your man has so little respect for our laws that he not only sends lawyers into court to argue he is above the law but calls the most import document in our country phony. He is also an unidited co conspirator in crimes from the Mueller report one of which his co conspirator is serving jail time as we speak. That should be enough facts for you. So stop listening to right wing propaganda and you will see just what a criminal don the con is.

  208.  @gbuz5789  oh as far as the investigation the Democrats are doing again watch judge Napolitano he explained on fox and friends that the Democrats in the house are following the procedures the GOP controlled house passed in 2015 and used for the Benghazi hearings. It is the very same process. And on that topic there where 12 members of the GOP protesting with Matt Gaetz who are on the committees that are holding the closed door interviews. So they held a protest about how they clearly don't know how to do their own job because they where invited to attend the closed door interviews as members of the committees holding them. So all these 12 people had to do was actually show up to the committee that they are a member of and they would be allowed in. But we all know how empty the Congress is they refuse to show up for work than hold a false protest about not being there. That should tell you who is being a dishonest actor.

  212.  @gbuz5789  wow now you deflect with what about isms. You do realize that there can be more than one criminal right? I mean there is no magic force that insures only one human being is breaking any law if there was such a thing we wouldn't have prisons full of humans. So don't try to deflect from the crimes the president had committed by taking about other humans you dislike who may or may not have committed crimes because it is totally off topic. But i see you are simply too far gone and can't admit that you are wrong. That trump is a criminal. By the way if I am not a lawyer what do I do for a living? You don't know you just assume you know so please to tell how do you know and what law firm do you work for as you seem to think only lawyers can know what is written in the law.

  213.  @gbuz5789  by the way there are several emoluments clause lawsuits in the courts today against trump. The courts didn't throw them all out as groundless the issue holding them up is if trump can be held accountable or not his lawyer are in court trying to argue that the president can not be taken to court. Not that he didn't do the crimes in question only that he is above the law. They even argued he could murder someone and the law could do nothing until after he was removed from office.
    1
  214.  @gbuz5789  clearly you have the most selective hearing. Reporter to be clear what you just described is a quid pro quo. If they don't do the investigation the military aid doesn't flow. Mulvaney we do that all the time. Even fox news hosts could see that is an admissions of quid pro quo. It is amazing the extream you will go to not even willing to listen to the GOP propaganda network when it doesn't support your team.

  215.  @gbuz5789  🤣🤣🤣 you are just too far gone have a nice day. There are non so blind as those who refuse to see. For the record I don't give a crap about the Clinton family because they are not the current president of the United States. The reason I didn't answer is because it is irrelevant to the crimes trump has committed. I did notice you exnored the fact that he is an unindicted co-conspirator. Why do you not comment on that and the fact that Willam Barr has said he couldn't be which is why he is unindicted not because he wasn't involved with the crime.

  217.  @gbuz5789  when 55% of the public in the latest poll is in favor of impeachment and removal from office the odds of winning the next election are not in your favor. The why not vote him out question is crystal clear. I don't want to allow a criminal to run the country form now till 2021. I would much rather Pence run the country then I can hope he will actually follow through on what Congress passes and not hold up military aid for his own personal gain. By the way impeachment of trump only replaces him with Pence so it isn't like it will change the current policy of the administration. All it will do is remove the self dealing president who violates the constitution of the United States and argues in court that he is above the law. Because we live in a society where NO ONE is above the law and someone needs to tell trump that. By the way I see the courts did tell the trump administration yesterday that the house impeachment hearing are legal and that the subpoenas must be honored. So the courts clearly believe that the administration not honoring the subpoenas is illegal. That is something even Graham has recently sad is grounds for impeachment. He said it in the Clinton hearings and when asked about it by reportes the other day said nothing has changed that is impeachable. So there is something even Graham will have to admit the trump administration did which is impeachable and the court system has conformed they have done it.
    1
  218.  @gbuz5789  oh and you must definitely are on team trump. Because president pence would have similar policies. So to not want the crimes investigated is about protecting the president who believes he is above the law.

  219.  @gbuz5789  you only need 10 gop senators and Graham could only get 44 of them to sign his weak protest letter. But I am perfectly ok with the GOP senators going on the record voting to keep a criminal who has been impeached in office because it will only get them all voted out of office. So please please Mitch McConnell vote to keep donnie tinny hands as president it will definitely help to drain the swamp when you and your self dealing wife are voted out in favor of a non currupt Justice Democrat.

  224. Calling it liquid wars misses the point. Oil has value because energy has value. Water isn't really a problem if we have enough low cost energy. 2/3 of the planet is covered with water we just need the cheap energy to purify and transport it. Renewable energy is rapidly becoming the cheapest source of energy. That is the dynamic that will change the future as we replace ff based energy with renewable wind and solar energy the ability to provide those forms of energy will be the driving force of how power is controlled in the future. Just as the control of ff resources driving the energy sector have shaped the last century.

  231. The argument against progressive candidates in general is a strawman argument. Bernie Sanders Elizabeth Warren and Tulsi Gabbard are all showing how they will pay for their policies. Bernie Sanders has a plan to pay for Medicare for All through taxation to access the money currently spent on Healthcare it simply changes the provider from the private sector to the public sector. Warren has shown where she will tax wealth to pay for her program. Tulsi Gabbard has stated that she doesn't understand MMT and that we need to cut the military budget to pay for our infrastructure work at home. Tulsi has made it very clear that we need to refocus our priorities away from the military industrial complex and for profit healthcare. AOC is the only progressive politician I know of who has fully embraced MMT.

  245.  @msrubie11  you do know Bernie Sanders went on Fox news and said he is in favor of strong border security so accusing him of wanting to open the borders is infact just groundless smearing correct.

  247.  @msrubie11  your link doesn't work. But I will trust Bernie Sanders and his statements before I trust a mainstream media hit piece on him. Here is the immigration section from free the burn which has accurate campaign policies for Bernie Sanders. By the way you lose credibility by saying Bernie Sanders is falling in the polls he is infact second nationally and first in several states including now first in California. When you move into first place that is the opposite of falling in the polls so get your facts straight. https://feelthebern.org/bernie-sanders-on-immigration/

  249.  @msrubie11  If you look at the issues Bernie Sanders is fighting for and don't see how it will help your community you lack vision. I guess you must think Nina Turner has just been fooled into believing that Bernie Sanders will help all communities including those of minorities. The reality is Bernie is trying to get us all to work together against the wealthy elite who have oppressed us. But you would rather focus on your fear and hatred fear of immigrants in this case. You fail to see how this is just a tactic of divide and concur. That the real strength come from everyone standing together fighting for our common interests. Bernie Sanders chained himself to a black woman during the 60s civil rights movement and said if you are going to arrest her you will have to arrest me. He has been fighting for all Americans for decades you just refuse to see reality. This will be my last post to you so have a nice day. https://berniesanders.com/issues/

  250.  @msrubie11  isolate yourself from the rest of society based on the sins of the distant past is a good way to insure you never get out of the rut of self pity you are in. My family has owned this property since the revolutionary war and as it is a northern farm we had no part of slavery except to fight in the civil war to free the slaves. But news flash everyone who was involved in that is dead and buried. You can either choose to move on and recognize when someone offers you equality of opportunity and wants to make your life better or you can continue to live the life you have. The choice is yours to make. Have a good night.

  251. We have tried that guys plan for the last half century the oil companies just delay. What he is missing is after the oil companies go bankrupt and close down the fracking wells the assets will be destroyed because you have to pump those wells or they stop producing in the same volume. So short term low prices and bankruptcy leads back to monopolies and higher prices in the long term. Which is why SA and Russia started a piece war in the first place they knew their production could weather the storm better than fracking.

  255. MMT discounts the hording of wealth and income inequality as the reason why we have been able to print money to pay for our military industrial complex and add to our national debt. Once you address income inequality you will see the devaluation of the dollar as you increase the supply. The only reason we haven't see that over the last decade is we have seen the additional supply of money horded by the wealthy elite.

It is greedy when the 12th wealthiest person in the USA worth 65 billion dollars switches parties and runs for president because it will save him 5 billion dollars in taxes over the current front runner in the Democratic party. It is greedy when the billionaire president of the United States has the secret service spend $600 per night at his own resort to protect him while he plays golf on the weekends. It is greedy when the president of the United States spends $3.4 million in taxpayer dollars on a superbowl party at his own resort where he keeps the profits. It is greedy when the FF industry which has been around for over a century receives $20 billion in US taxpayer funded subsidies.

  260.  @andreanacalhoun5402  calling the left victims is laughable when we have the victim in chief who keeps crying he needs more time as president because the Democrats have been so mean to him that he couldn't do anything as president. The president who is now forcing the Justice department to track down his political opponents because he has been so harmed by them. If you don't like people claiming to be victims of the evil others you must hate the party of Trump.

  262.  @andreanacalhoun5402  so do you enjoy your own private jet that the government bought for you as a tax write off thanks to the Trump tax cuts? Because it is out of both my budget and needs so I didn't get to take advantage of that tax cut Trump passed for the likes of Jeff Bezos.

  263.  Agency in Repose  there is also a reason why every other developed country has a form of single payer healthcare and they pay half pre capita then the USA for healthcare. You look ignorant when you defend the most expensive healthcare system on planet earth based on cost. Our system is functioning as you would expect a for profit system designed to maximize profits requires that life saving treatment must by definition cause bankruptcy or the provider has failed to meet their fiduciary obligations to maximize the profit being that their service is worth your entire worth because without it you die. For profit insurance companies have an obligation to deny you services as much as possible to maximize their profits. The only way a for profit middle man can maximize profits is to overcharge you for services you can't collect on.

  264.  @andreanacalhoun5402  my Republican brother did. He used wick to raise his kids. Myself no I didn't need assistance but I am grateful for the fact that my tax dollars from my engineering job where able to insure my brother who worked as an automotive mechanic and his wife who worked 2 jobs while raising their 3 children where able to keep food on the table for their family. Ironically my brother seems to enjoy voting against the very same social safety net he uses. I do love how you think a private jet for Jeff Bezos is equal to providing food for poor children though.

  265.  @andreanacalhoun5402  what do you have against public education? We already provide k-12 which a century ago our ancestors realized was required to provide the education their descendants needed. Given the last century of technology and change in the work force we now need to provide k-16 to provide the same quality of life for our children we enjoyed because our parents paid for our k-12 education. The same as how my grandfather's parents realized that the 8th grade education their generation had wasn't sufficient any longer and that they needed to provide their kids with 50% more education by switching to 12 year system. Today we only need to add 25% more to our public education system to keep up with the advance of technology over the last century.

  266.  @andreanacalhoun5402  you seem to have totally missed the point of my post it was my right wing brother who depends on the social safety net. But it doesn't bother me that my taxes funded it.

  269.  @Lurch685  you are clueless about how much wind and solar potential there is in the USA. Enough solar power hits the earth in a hour to power all of man kind for a full year. Last time I check there where many hours on a year. Montana has enough wind energy potential to power the entire United States based on department of energy data from the 80s before we modernized the wind turbine technology and before you consider off shore wind. You probably also believed trump when he said wind causes cancer.

  271.  Vincit Omnia Veritas  well the fact that we have one political party that has convinced a large percentage of the population that climate chance is a Chinese hoax would definitely make the case that some people are tricked by lies. Or there would be no point in saying them in the first place. So thanks for proving how meaningless your argument is. By the way we already do limit the ability of politicians and PAC to lie to the public. So it isn't a question of free speech it is a question of having one constant standard. Unless you are arguing it should be illegal for Facebook to block anyone form airing any ad. So tell me are you upset that they pulled the ad the guy in the video was running? Or do you support different standard for politicians than avg Americans?

  291.  @moirasimpson9944  I am pretty sure in 2003 Bush was president. That was also when he invaded Iraq overthrowing their government and tossing the middle east into 2 decades of war. That shit grenade along with the great recession both had major influence on what Obama was forced to do in order to clean up his mess.

  292.  Julieta Noble  you say we don't need their oil which would actually be due to the fracking boom under Obama not trump by the way. But trump just said point blank that we control the oil fields and that he shipped 1800 more troops to protect the Oil Filed in SA so clearly he feels we need to risk our troops lives for their oil.
    1
  293.  @AuntieWar  but our involvement in the middle east can be directly tracted back to destabilizing the entire region with the Iraq war. It was the Iraq war which left the power vacuum allowing the terrorists to grow into a fighting force. The same terrorists who where trained by the United States under Reagon to fight the Russians in Afghanistan by the way so if you want to consider war crimes caused by US foreign policy you can add Reagon to the list. But non of that changes the fact that the only way to end the oil wars is to end the demand for oil. Then the middle east just becomes one more desert the developed world doesn't care about deserts there are plenty of deserts in the world where we don't fight wars.

  294.  Julieta Noble  when did the fracking boom happen? Oh right during the Obama administration as a direct result of his all of the above energy policy. You are wrong again.

  295.  Julieta Noble  I would much rather that we switch to renewable energy and not risk the lives of our children to provide us with cheap fuel. But as a typical right winger you are unable to understand that the lives of our troops are move valuable than oil.

  296.  Julieta Noble  well since you know when the fracking boom took place you also know you are wrong to give Trump credit for it.

  297.  Julieta Noble  oh so the fact that we didn't draft them means it is ok to kill them for cheap oil got it. By the way please do explain why renewable energy can't meet our energy needs. I mean it isn't like the Hover dam powers a large part of this country... oh right it does.

  299.  Julieta Noble  well clearly you live under a rock because SA ALWAYS agrees to pay for the USA troops when they are in their country. But you have not proven where you got the idea i believe we should be in the middle east fighting oil wars. Infact I have been very clear that I think we should break our dependency on oil and end the oil wars. But that concept is clearly beyond your ability to understand.
    1
  300.  Julieta Noble  so tell me how did trump make us energy independent than? Because fracking is where our oil comes from so it was infact the fracking boom that causes the USA to become an exporter of energy. All trump did was make us more dependent on the middle east by saying he would take the oil from Syria and defend the oil fields in SA. But please do provide a link to the great energy independence trump is responsible for. Or do you mean giving away federal government lands to private sector companies so they could rape the land and rob the country of it's natural resources to export the fracked gas for profit? Good plan there.
