Conservatives scream the $15 minimum wage increase a 'trojan horse' for socialism

Leave it to the insufferably conservative Washington Examiner to craft an article that decries a $15 minimum wage but omits telling you that the current minimum wage is only $7.25 and has been sitting there unchanged since 2009. Isn't it relevant that $7.25 is so low it's embarassing and that nobody can survive on that wage? Brad Polumbo takes what Biden is doing with the minimum wage increase and says that he wants to bring a Nordic style economy to the USA but did you realize this fact about that argument?.. Under Trump, we've had an economy where corporations don't pay their fair share, where the 1%'ers don't pay their fair share of taxes (as a percentage of income) and in this, we have been enabling an economy that disadvantages the middle class and poor.. and it's time for this to change and $15/hr minimum wage is a great place to start. #minimumwage #RustedCulture

Section 3 of the 14th Amendment would prevent Trump from ever holding office again

Holding a House vote on impeachment has the benefit of flushing out whomever is not in favor of impeaching the president. It would also force immediate accountability for Trump, so there is a value in that vote, however, it's not going to pass the Senate because of the 2/3 majority that is needed.. That's where Section 3 of the 14th Amendment comes into play. It would prevent Trump from ever holding public office ever again. Section 3 of the 14th Amendment would pass because it only needs a simple majority vote and once passed, the adjudication of that vote would be handed off to the courts, allowing the House and Senate to start working for the people immediately on other issues. #14thamendment #14thamendmentsection3 #forthepeople #RustedCulture

Capitol riot assisted by concerns over 'bad optics' of National Guard presence

The riot in he Capitol was made worse by concerns over how it would look on TV to have the National Guard pushing back against MAGA rioters with images of the Capitol in the background.. we certainly shouldn't risk displeasing Trump. Throw in a little 'lack of coordination and preparation' by Pentagon chiefs and you have the 'perfect storm' for rioters to turn violent and storm and subsequently breach the Capitol.. Now the additional concern is over the inauguration and if there are any Guardsmen who are MAGA loyalists.. #capitolriots #RustedCulture #magaterrorists

Cumulus Media demands Mark Levin stop claiming election fraud

Mark Levin's Jihad on democracy, the Jihad where he claims there was 'election fraud' must come to an end. Cumulus Media has decided that on air talent like Levin could be fired for continuing the election fraud narrative. "We need to help induce national calm NOW" says Brian Philips, executive vp for content at Cumulus. Cumulus and it's program syndication arm, Westwood One "will not tolerate any suggestion that the election has not ended" The election has been resolved and there are no alternate acceptable paths".. #marklevin #insurrectionists #RustedCulture

Devin Nunes melts down on Fox News over Parler shutdown

I'm so glad we were able to catch Devin Nunes in this tender moment as he was experiencing a MAGA snowflake meltdown.. Devin is so upset over Parler being shut down (really just forced to find another hosting platform) because Amazon decided that they were not enforcing their platform ethical guidelines. It has nothing to do with a left conspiracy it has everything to do with the fact that Amazon found at least 98 instances where folks on Parler were inciting violence.. listen to Devin say that these big tech companies get to decide what's 'violent'.. I don't think violence in any form is worth splitting hairs over, Devin.. #parler #magaterrorists #rustedculture

Trump Capitol riot 'party tent' video and Section 230 Trump social media bans

Recent video shows Trump in the insurrectionists Capitol Riot 'party tent' complete with several large TV monitors and multiple camera views. What entity set up all the camera views so that Trump could gleefully participate in watching the riots unfold? Did Capitol police set those cameras up or DC police? Who did that and supplied the camera feeds of the Capitol rioters? The party scene was disgusting with all the ghoulish Trump family in attendance: Ivanka Trump, Eric Trump, Tiffany Trump and of course, Donald Trump jr.. This is like a ghoulish version of the Addams Family from hell.. complete with Kimberly Guilfoyle dancing in the party tent. The most incredible thing though is what I saw them all watching on the live video screens of the rioters.. Lastly, Twitter bans Trump- their logic in banning Trump seems far more liberal than what YouTubers are dealing with and why.. #TrumpRiots #MAGAterrorism #complicit

General Honore on MSNBC: Capitol Police were complicit in Capitol Riot

Retired lieutenant general Russel L. Honoré was on MSNBC and claims that the Capitol Police were complicit in what happened in Washington DC on wednesday. The Defense Depratment did not have the National Guard on standby, to say that the FBI intel was flawed is an understatement, the Pentagon basically fiddle farted around for 3 hours while the Capitol was being over run with pro-Trump rioters.. contrast this with the racial protests in DC over the summer where helicopters were flying low and surveillance aircraft was in the air and Trump used tear gas to clear protesters for a photo-op in front of a DC church.. #capitolriots #complicitcorruptGOP #forthepeople

Capitol riot and Congressman Conor Lamb show the nations battle of truth over fiction

Congressman Conor Lamb of Pennsylvania spoke how "truth hurts" when directly confronting Republican Senators and Congressman about the lies that they tell to try and undo the presidential election. The battle that we face is a battle of truth over fiction and facts over lies and deceit. The lies of election fraud are perpetuated by the 'media food chain' wherein media types like Tucker and Hannity promote and parrot lies and benefit from increased listeners and ad revenue, lawmakers promote and parrot the lies and are assured re-election and then the president repeats those same lies or creates new lies and the cycle repeats with each entity benefitting from the lies.. It's a media system of permission that enables this to continue. #forthepeople #truthvsfiction #conorlamb

Tucker Carlson shows how he is part of the Trump "truth" problem

It's not just Tucker, it's a 'system of permission' that is built into conservative circles-including the media- that feeds on itself and the lies they promote. It's a system where baseless accusations are fed into it by the president (for example) or even lawmakers (watch Matt Gaetz clip) and is then reinforced and promoted by Tucker Carlson, Mark Levin as well as Rush Limbaugh and even lawmakers.. It's a 'system of permission' that benefits them financially throughout the loop: politicians get re-elected, Tucker gets an audience and ad revenue and the president feeds money into his Save America Pac.. until Senators like Lindsey Graham and Tom Cotton break that loop with the truth, our democracy is likely to remain broken.. Isn't it funny that Twitter, of all things.......

US Capitol terrorism and Trump "thanks" rioters in White House video

This domestic terrorism at the Capitol today illustrates why it's important for DC (and Puerto Rico) to have statehood. Watch the chaos as one protestor breaks a Capitol window and the next photo shows him smugly standing in front of the House chambers.."smile", now it's off to prison.. late in the day, Trump makes a half-hearted appeal to his followers but then adds some 'stuff' that is basically a secret "thanks" to his followers.. #capitolchaos #TrumpThanksProtesters #treason #Sedition
