'BURN IT ALL DOWN' Angry leftists threaten violence if GOP replaces Justice Ginsburg before election – as AOC urges Dems to pack the court

LIBERAL writers and academics have threatened to burn down Congress if Republicans press ahead with plans to appoint a new Supreme Court judge before the election.

A former CNN host was among prominent figures who appeared to encourage violent uprising following the death of left-wing hero Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Justice Ginsburg's death on Friday left a vacancy on the Supreme Court - setting up an explosive battle over one of the most contentious issues in American politics.

Democrats are furious after Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell suggested the GOP would hold an early vote to confirm Donald Trump's pick to replace her with a conservative.

Outspoken Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez even suggested Democrats would try to pack the court with liberals by increasing the number of judges from the current nine.

As fury raged in Washington, high-profile leftists hinted at violent insurrection in posts on social media.

Trump-bashing former CNN presenter Reza Aslan tweeted to his 293,000 followers: "If they even TRY to replace RBG we burn the entire f***ing thing down."

Screenwriter Beau Willimon, who produced House of Cards and is the president of the Writers Guild of America, East, also vowed action.

He told his 164,000 followers: "We’re shutting this country down if Trump and McConnell try to ram through an appointment before the election."

'THERE WILL BE RIOTS'

Emmett Macfarlane, a professor at the University of Waterloo in Canada, tweeted: "Burn Congress down before letting Trump try to appoint anyone to SCOTUS."

Political commentator Laura Bassett, who writes for GQ and the Washington Post, said: "If McConnell jams someone through, which he will, there will be riots."

Daddy Files author Aaron Gouveia tweeted: "F*** no. Burn it all down."

Last night Ocasio-Cortez said Republicans were "violating" Justice Ginsburg's dying wish that she should not be replaced until the next president is sworn in.

The firebrand congresswoman stoked the row still further by saying Democrats should “absolutely” consider packing the court.

She said: “We should leave all options on the table, including the number of justices that are on the Supreme Court.”

Democrat nominee Joe Biden is due to make a speech on the subject later today, but has so far resisted Trump's call for him to name his own shortlist.

President Trump has appointed two Supreme Court judges in his first term - tipping the panel to a 5-4 majority for conservatives before Ginsburg's death.

He said yesterday he would seek to nominate a replacement "without delay" and said a woman will be top of his list.

Trump said: "We were put in this position of power and importance to make decisions for the people who so proudly elected us, the most important of which has long been considered to be the selection of United States Supreme Court Justices."

Sen. McConnell said Trump's nomination would get a vote in the Senate, where the GOP's majority could seal the appointment before November.

But Republicans were accused of hypocrisy after they blocked a vote on President Obama's pick for the Supreme Court shortly before the 2016 election.

Leading senators including Lindsay Graham were savaged for apparently going back on promises they made four years ago.

He said in 2016 that the appointment should be left to the incoming president and said the same rule would apply if a vacancy arose at the end of Trump's first term.

Joe Biden was also accused of U-turning after saying in 2016 that Congress had a "constitutional duty" to fill the vacancy even before an election.

He tweeted after Ginsburg's death: “Let me be clear: The voters should pick a President, and that President should select a successor to Justice Ginsburg,”

Conservatives are keen to appoint another right wing judge to the lifetime position, creating a 6-3 dominance that could last decades.

Liberals fear such a one-sided panel could reverse decades of progress on civil rights such as abortion laws.

Trump is set to name his pick in the coming week and already has shortlist in mind, according to reports.

In a phone call with McConnell on Friday night, Trump indicated he favored two women in particular, sources told The Washington Post.

Judge Amy Coney Barrett and Barbara Lagoa are now tipped as the front-runners.

I can honestly say that I've never seen our country in worse shape than now. This country has been destroyed from the inside. We've got a sorry excuse for a president, a raging pandemic, tremendous division among our citizens, a leader who wants to take your freedom and your money. Extremely high unemployment, and soon to be record homelessness. We have countless people in our country who cant wait to vote for trump, even with all this on the table. Do they not understand that they are about to be homeless when their SS ends? Why is blatant ignorance so plentiful in this country?
I fully believe Russia will make sure Trump is in office again. Putin is said to be very pleased with trump. He is doing a fantastic job for Putin.
If you are so ignorant that you cannot see what he is doing, you deserve him. It's a shame that your ignorance will impact everyone here, and will completely end America as we've known it to be.
At this point, if you support trump, I've lost my respect for you and I will never forgive you for the homelessness that will impact me and millions of others when our SS is ripped away. I will be on the street. If you vote trump, I hope you will be there too because you will deserve it most of all

How Horrible it Must Be to Be a Conservative by Tom Nash - An Occupy Eureka Participant

Consider for a moment just how terrifying it must be to live life as a true believer on the right. Reality is scary enough, but the alternative reality inhabited by people who watch Glenn Beck, listen to Rush Limbaugh, or think Michele Bachmann isn’t a joke must be nothing less than horrifying.
In the real world, the rate of violent crime in the US is at the lowest point since 1968. It’s also true that 84 percent of white murder victims are killed by other whites. But if you watch Fox, on any given day you will see extensive coverage of any incident in which a black person harms a white person. These fit in with the narrative – advanced by people like Glenn Beck and Michael Savage that we stand on the brink of a race war, led by the New Black Panthers. Marauding “flash-mobs” of black teens are a near-obsession at many conservative outlets these days.
So be nice to conservatives. They are poorly informed, very frightened and well armed.

I was proud of the troops today. by Tom Nash
As a patriotic American who loves his country with all my heart, I was crazy proud of the troops today. Amy Goodman played the statements made by the courageous soldiers who told the truth about what really happened in Iraq and Afghanistan at the NATO Summit. After eloquently speaking their hearts, they solemnly returned all the medals bestowed upon them for fighting in wars that they now know to be immoral.
Then I was so ashamed of the actions of the Chicago Police Department who savagely brutalized other patriotic citizens for having the temerity to stand up and speak out against the unholy abomination of these wars.
It is so sad to see how far we have strayed from the principles that this country was founded on.

BUSH, CHENEY GUILTY OF WAR CRIMES
Last week an international tribunal ended an extensive investigation and trial into the torture allegations brought against the Bush administration. It concluded that the Bush torture team (including Rumsfeld, Cheney and Bush) is guilty of war crimes..
Despite considerable international media coverage of this trial, especially in Asia and the Middle East, the American media have been silent on this verdict.

Why the Occupy movement frightens the corporate elite:
What fosters revolution is not misery, but the gap between what people expect from their lives and what is offered. This is especially acute among the educated and the talented. When they feel, with much justification, that they have been denied what they deserve, they will set out to rectify this injustice. The longer the injustice festers, the more radical they will become.

An open letter to all patriotic Republicans,
On behalf of the Democratic Party, I am putting out the welcome mat any patriotic Republicans who are fed up with the regressive, belligerent, obstructionist, anti American and anti Christian policies of the current Republican Party. There is plenty of room over here for any true lovers of America.
You could be one of those Blue Dog Democrats. They are basically reasonable, conservative, decent Christian folks who believe that we can all work together to solve America's problems. They would probably be Republicans if they could tolerate the smell over there. Most of them are way more conservative than Dwight Eisenhower was.
Christian patriots are welcome to join us. All of the Democratic Presidents down through history have been good Christians. Despite what you hear on Fox News about Obama being an Islamic terrorist, he is actually a devout Christian who practices good family values. Jimmy Carter was even a born again Southern Baptist. And you Catholics who think that you have to ride the elephant, don't forget that the only Catholic president we've ever had was a Democrat.
What would Jesus do? He believed in healing the sick, feeding the poor, and over turning the tables of the money changers. He would be for Obama Care, MediCare, MediCal, FoodStamps, and Occupy Wall Street. He would surely be a democrat because we support things that he believed in.
So anyhow, come on over here and join the Democrats and we can all work together to undo all the damage to the country that has taken place since Ronald Reagan started screwing everything up. We are a pleasant Party who is friendly and inclusive of all Americans who love this country. We listen well and don't try and tell you what to think. We celebrate diversity and you will probably fit right in. We can rebuild the middle class back to those good ole days before trickle down economics. Even rich patriotic citizens would be wise to join us. When the middle class is healthy again, they will buy lots of crap and you can get even richer.
Your new Democrat friend,
Tom Nash

Patriotism is about supporting an America that provides opportunity for ALL Americans.
Those who earn tens of millions of dollars a year but pay less than 14 percent of their incomes in taxes, and argue the rich should pay even less, are not patriots.
Those who defend indefensible tax loopholes, such as the “carried interest” loophole that allows private-equity managers to treat their incomes as capital gains even if they risk no income of their own, are not patriots.
Those who avoid taxes by putting huge amounts of their earnings into IRAs via foreign tax shelters are not patriots.
Those who want to cut programs that benefit the poor — Food stamps, child nutrition, Pell grants, Medicaid — so that they can get a tax cut for themselves and their affluent friends— are not patriots.
Even when they wrap themselves in the flag, politicians who support these policies because they are in the pocket of wealthy donors who benefit from them are not patriots either.

Two Occupies by Tom Nash - Opinion Piece about Occupy Eureka Movement
Most of us are aware of the continuing occupy protest near our county courthouse.  What you may not know is that there are actually 2 separate occupations underway.  The one known at Occupy Eureka is composed of a core group of about 3-5 committed regulars.  They are occasionally joined a few semi-regulars and on special occasions by larger numbers local progressive activists. The members of the core group are polite, considerate and thoughtful patriotic citizens who deserve our collective admiration for their unwavering dedication to the betterment of America. You might disagree with their politics, but you should at least appreciate the sacrifice required to sit daily in quiet protest, rain or shine, because they believe that things have gone terribly wrong with our country.
The other occupy has no name. It is much larger than Occupy Eureka. They occupy the streets, parks, greenbelts and courthouse steps of our city 24 hours/day because they have no home to go home to. They are lost souls who have become untethered from American society. They are seldom appreciated nor often admired. They are less committed to lofty social causes and more dedicated to basic survival. They have always been a lightning rod for indignant social disapproval and castigation. Whether you choose to blame them or find fault in social inequity is a subject worthy of discussion, but not relevant to this letter. Suffice to say that most of our citizenry would prefer not to walk past, look at, or otherwise interact with these people.
My point is that the occupation of our public spaces by the homeless has very little to do with Occupy Eureka. That some of these people have chosen to exist, and sometimes misbehave, in the vicinity of the courthouse should not reflect on or influence ones view about Occupy Eureka. O.E. is a healthy counterbalance to the undue influence that moneyed interests have on our political discourse. The other occupation is a social issue that is not going away, even if they are driven from the courthouse steps.

I was lucky enough to be able to ride the city bus to work... It was vastly superior to driving a car. Mainly because I was allowed to sleep on the way to work because the driver would wake me up at the office. On the ride home I chatted with the other riders and became friends. This lady was coming home from an Occupy Wall Street protest at the county courthouse... Her sign says "I AM THE WORKING POOR. I AM THE 99%. I'M STANDING HERE FOR YOU! OWS - OCCUPY WALL STREET.

Our MILL CREEK TRIP with the Save the Redwoods League. 2002 - The League Bought some land and turned it into a park.

It was sunny and cool on California's North coast yesterday (12/7/02). We drove my mom's 1975 plymouth valiant north from Eureka and had a pleasant journey on highway 101. Stopped to take pictures of the ocean and the Redwood Sculpture shops on the way. Saw a herd of ELK relaxing near a freeway onramp. There were 10 ELK sitting on the grass right next to the freeway. We found the meeting place with ease. My dad is a member of the Save the Redwoods League and he gave us the invitation to the event.

Trump's Deregulation of the Banking Industry sets us up for ANOTHER DISASTER like the Stock Market Crash of 2008 and the Taxpayer Bailout of Wall Street.

MEME - gvan42 - Trump Deregulation of Banking Industry sets us up for another crash like 2008
tRUMP pretends that Deregulation Will
Make America Great Again.
NOT TRUE !
It Will only Let Rich People Get More Money
While Destroying the Environment...
and People's Health...

WAKE UP AMERICA!
Every Move He Makes Harms the 99%

Headline: Wall Street firms reward people for risky behavior. I know because I was there. We need rules, not the deregulation pushed by Trump and Republicans.

Lehman Bros., one of the largest investment banks in the USA, filed for bankruptcy protection a decade ago Saturday and triggered the worst financial crisis in modern American history. In the aftermath of the financial system’s collapse, as the excesses of Wall Street were revealed to the American public, people were shocked that banks had been allowed to make such reckless bets with their money. It seemed absurd that there were no rules in place to prevent these bankers from playing roulette with the U.S. economy on the line.

Ten years later, many of the rules and regulations put in place to prevent such a crisis from happening again are under attack. It would have been unthinkable as recently as a few years ago, but in the past year we’ve actually seen banking deregulation legislation pass Congress. In an effort to inflate profits for big banks, the Trump administration and Congress are setting us up for another crash.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_crisis_of_2007%E2%80%932008
Massive bail-outs of financial institutions were employed to prevent a possible collapse of the world financial system. In total, $623 billion in taxpayer money was dispersed via bailouts...

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/may/28/bank-bailout-cost-taxpayers
Last week, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released a report (pdf) with what seemed like good news: the bailout of 2008 – which fronted $700bn in taxpayer funds to prop up the financial institutions that brought the economy to the brink – ended up cheaper than expected. The price tag was revised down to $21bn from $24bn.

The picture was even rosier once you looked past how much it cost to bailout General Motors and insurance giant AIG. The cost of the bank bailout alone is, in fact, projected to be "almost nothing", as Politico's Morning Money blog put it. So insignificant was the harm done to taxpayers that Politico put "bailout" in quotation marks.

So, the hullabaloo was apparently for nothing. Far from being victims robbed of their tax dollars, the American public is essentially a winner in the bank rescue scheme – a shrewd investor who (involuntarily) played her cards right.

This is the line the banks and the US Treasury would like us to swallow. It is, of course, totally false. The bailout cost us plenty, and continues to do so. Sadly, it is the gift that keeps on giving to the very banks that drove our economy over a cliff – and took trillions in housing wealth, retirement funds and millions of jobs with it.

First of all, $21bn is no bargain. It's a hefty sum for a government we're constantly told is broke – and needs to cut everything from air traffic controllers to Medicare, and from meals for needy seniors to public defenders and housing aid. Broke – but somehow able to front $700bn for reckless, wildly mismanaged banks.






NOW I've Become Interested in the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions Israel Movement. With The refusal to let American Congresswomen Tlaib and Omar enter the country... there must be something of interest there... AND NOW, 8/16/2019, ISRAEL FLIPS! They will allow Rep. Rashida Tlaib to enter country for humanitarian visit... OOPS, WE BAD! But they will NOT allow a visit from Omar...

Trump tweeted that NET and YAHOO! should not let them in... Up until now, I just figured that Jews and Muslims have been Killing each other for over a Thousand Years and they will probably continue to Kill each other for Another Thousand Years... and that's their business... What if they do kill each other... so what... Are There Not Too Many People Alive on Planet Earth? What IF we reduce the population by some Crazy War in the Middle East? Do We Really NEED Those People Over There? Sort of like caring about a Suicide Bomber... Just Glad He's Dead... 

There is a website called BDS that tells one side of the story about Boycott, Divest and Sanctions... The movement works to end international support for Israel's oppression of Palestinians... AHH... Now I get it... It's all about Israel Killing Palestinians! Well, I still couldn't care less about this subject... I do remember News reports of Israel Killing Protesters but... I changed the Channel... I also remember that a Teacher in Texas had to sign a Pledge that she would NOT Boycott Israel before she was allowed to Teach School... That seemed odd... Why would a School System in Texas Care? and I DO remember the Bass Player for Pink Floyd is in favor of the BDS Movement... However... I choose to Not Care... BUT MAYBE I'M WRONG... MAYBE ISRAEL IS DOING EVIL... COULD BE...

https://bdsmovement.net/

WIKIPEDIA SAYS:
The Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement (also known as BDS) is a Palestinian-led[1][2][3] campaign promoting various forms of boycott against Israel until it meets what the campaign describes as Israel's obligations under international law,[4] defined as withdrawal from the occupied territories, removal of the separation barrier in the West Bank, full equality for Arab-Palestinian citizens of Israel, and "respecting, protecting, and promoting the rights of Palestinian refugees to return to their homes and properties".[4] The campaign is organized and coordinated by the Palestinian BDS National Committee.[5]

The Internet is a Great Benefit to Retired People. Years ago, Men would Retire from Work and Die Quickly... Due to Boredom... Lack of Things to Fill up their time...

It's Possible that the Internet will actually extent the lifespan of Retired People... It keeps the Mind Occupied... Chatting with Friends on Facebook... Writing an Autobiography... Uploading Music Videos and Art... Writing Opinion Articles for a Blog. It appears that about a hundred people a day read my words of wisdom. Even if my words are NOT particularly Wise. It keeps my mind active thinking up what to say... Learning Stuff... Watching Music Videos on Youtube... Looking at Photographs taken by people I know... I especially enjoy Videos of the Children in my Family... 

I remember that My Father used to Watch the News on TV and It would make him angry... So he would yell at the TV... NOT as satisfying as WRITING an opinion article and publishing it on Google's Blogger, Facebook, Tumblr, Ello, Mastodon, Minds and Wordpress... People read My Words and Comment... 

I tried sitting on the back porch and observing the trees... and the creek... It's not that great... 

Just watching TV all day allows Other People to Determine What is Available to Watch... and what IDEAS are Poured into My Brain... They are in business to sell advertising and so they simply show whatever the most number of people with disposable income want to watch... For Example: On my dish we have about ten movie channels and they repeat the top 100 movies again and again... Men in Black, Harry Potter, Ghostbusters and Total Recall are shown about once a week...

However there are a few networks that provide different content. Free Speech TV, Link TV, CSPAN and PBS all have no advertisements and NO CORPORATE MASTERS. 





Great Book: "Noncompliant: A Lone Whistleblower Exposes the Giants of Wall Street" by Carmen Segarra

https://www.amazon.com/Noncompliant-Whistleblower-Exposes-Giants-Street/dp/1568588453
A first-hand account of the oversight of the big banks in the wake of the financial crisis, from the Federal Reserve examiner who refused to be silenced

In 2011, Carmen Segarra took a job as at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York supervising for Goldman Sachs. It was an opportunity, she believed, to monitor the big bank's behavior in order to avoid another financial crisis.

Segarra was shocked to discover, however, the full extent of the relationship between Goldman and the Fed. She began making secret recordings that later became the basis of a This American Life episode that exposed the Fed's ineffectiveness in holding banks accountable.

In Noncompliant, Segarra chronicles her experience blowing open the doors on the relationship between the big banks and the government bodies set up to regulate them.

As we mark the tenth anniversary of the 2008 financial crisis, Noncompliant shows us how little has changed, and offers an urgent call for real reforms.

The Time has Come for a Violet Overgrow of The Ruling Class. The Republicans Are Coming for Your Social Security and Medicare

https://www.commondreams.org/views/2018/10/17/fascists-are-coming-your-social-security-and-medicare

The Ruling Class is coming for your Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. And they’re openly bragging about it.

Right after Trump’s election, back in December of 2016, Newt Gingrich openly bragged at the Heritage Foundation that the Trump administration and Republicans in Congress were going to “break out of the Franklin Delano Roosevelt model.” That “model,” of course, created what we today refer to as “the middle class.”
This week Mitch McConnell confirmed Gingrich’s prophecy, using the huge deficits created by Trump’s billionaire tax cuts as an excuse to destroy “entitlement” programs.

“I think it would be safe to say that the single biggest disappointment of my time in Congress has been our failure to address the entitlement issue, and it’s a shame, because now the Democrats are promising Medicare for All,” McConnell told Bloomberg. He added, “[W]e’re talking about Medicare, Social Security and Medicaid.”

WHY? NO Actual Jail Time for any of the Wall Street Banksters that Decimated the World's Economy in 2008... Costing US Taxpayers $623 Billion Dollars...

When poor people engage in such activity, we call it looting. But for the princes of American capital and their lieutenants at the Fed and the Treasury, this was pure crisis management.

Today, Ben Bernanke, Hank Paulson and Timothy Geithner insist they did what they had to under conditions of extreme duress. Mistakes were made, the government’s former top financial overseers acknowledge in a recent piece for The New York Times, but they did ultimately “prevent the collapse of the financial system and avoid another Great Depression.”

Except they didn’t really rescue the banking system. They transformed it into an unaccountable criminal syndicate. In the years since the crash, the biggest Wall Street banks have been caught laundering drug money, violating U.S. sanctions against Iran and Cuba, bribing foreign government officials, making illegal campaign contributions to a state regulator and manipulating the market for U.S. government debt. Citibank, JPMorgan, Royal Bank of Scotland, Barclays and UBS even pleaded guilty to felonies for manipulating currency markets.

Not a single human being has served a day in jail for any of it.

Opinion | What We Need to Fight the Next Financial Crisis...

http://occupywallst.org/
We do not call lightly for revolution. Insurrection is traumatic. It requires great sacrifice. And if there were any other way to avert USA’s coming catastrophe, it would be a moral obligation to advocate it.

However, as American denizens, we are justifiably afraid for our nation and our neighbors. The president is a traitor: weak, fearful, illegitimate. Now our government cannot be trusted to protect us from foreign invasion, deep state coup, military defeat or internal disunion. Supreme Court appointees dream of granting unprecedented presidential powers and immunity from criminal prosecution, forever perverting the checks and balances of our democracy. The putinphillic’s every deed and tweet is totally inconsistent with a just regard for our innate natural rights, the doctrine of popular sovereignty, the Declaration of American Independence and the spirit of the Constitution of the United States. Under these conditions, revolution is not only justified. It is our collective duty.

And yet, since the inauguration all conventional attempts to dislodge the enemy within have failed. On the contrary, it has shown itself to be teflon when attacked directly.

Goldman would get in big trouble for its dodging. In a five-billion-dollar settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice, nine years later, it confessed that it knew about the problems with toxic mortgage products, avoided them itself, and sold them to investors anyway. “If they only knew . . .” Goldman’s head of due diligence had written to a colleague in 2006. And yet none of the firm’s senior leaders went to prison for malfeasance, and neither did any of the complicit chiefs of Wall Street’s other biggest banks.

How would the Anti-Corruption Act Work? How can we keep Corporations from Buying Politicians? How can WE THE PEOPLE get Representation in Government?

What we have now is the Rich buying laws that benefit themselves at the expense of the majority of Americans. Witness the Tax Cut Law that Trump and his Republican Congress passed. It Benefits the Same people that Donated Millions of Dollars to Campaigns.

Warren is attempting to take the profit motive out of public service by making it extremely difficult for former lawmakers and government officials to cash in on their government experience. 

Warren proposes much stricter restrictions on the revolving door between public service and lobbying, but, more fundamentally, flat-out bans on any lobbying on behalf of foreign governments, an industry that has come under increased scrutiny as a result of the trial of Paul Manafort, who made his fortune carrying water for foreign governments in Washington, often whose interests ran against those of the U.S.

Her bill would also mandate that the IRS release tax returns for candidates, and that the president and vice president be subject to conflict-of-interest laws.
