Supporting the Iran Agreement, War Mongers, Republicans Destroying the Postal Service, et al





Republicans try again to get claims about Hillary Clinton's email to stick, but are once again forced to back down

Ted Cruz is the most hated man on social media for a reason...He's a despicable human being. I live in Texas and I've never heard a good thing said about him. Hopefully, he will be a bad memory soon. The very sight of him makes my skin crawl. He's Sara Palin with a penis.

Republicans are relentless in their attacks against the U.S. Postal Service. Americans simply cannot afford to let them succeed.
"In the first quarter of this fiscal year, the post office would have made an operational profit, if not for a 75-year healthcare 'pre-funding' mandate passed by Republicans that applies to no other public or private institution in the United States."

"The report was released to coincide with the tenth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. American Bridge notes that the Koch brothers are now engaged in a PR campaign to boost their image and to gloss over their role in compounding and then exploiting the Katrina natural disaster.

The Koch brothers see opportunity in natural disasters. In some cases, their actions can intensify the disaster’s impact, but more importantly, after the catastrophe unfolds they can exploit the tragedy to make more money. The Koch brothers are “disaster capitalists“ who see in other people’s suffering an opportunity to further enrich themselves. The Bridge Project report is hardly surprising, but it is highly disturbing."

The Bridge Project released a report documenting the Kochs' role in compounding the impact of Katrina, while profiting from the storm.

We definitely agree. Do YOU?

"While Republicans voice ever more strident opposition to President Obama’s Iran nuclear deal, seeming to have no other suggestion than bombing yet another country and triggering a third Middle East war in little more than a decade, more and more groups have come forward to support the president, including, recently, 70 nuclear nonproliferation experts.
The latest is a group of 51 Christian leaders, who represent dozens of Christian denominations and organizations. In a letter to Congress today, they voiced their support of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) as the best means of keeping nuclear weapons out of the hands of Iran."

Republicans are OK subsidizing profitable businesses with billions of taxpayer dollars but are unwilling to spend a penny on education, jobs and safety nets for the most vulnerable which includes children, the elderly and our wounded warriors who fought in their war's to profit the military industrial complex.

Pierce writes: "If it had happened in Syria, Lindsey Graham might liquefy entirely and disappear in a rush down a storm drain. But it happened here, in the exceptional home of American exceptionalism, so, once again, we will be told that Alison Parker and Adam Ward are merely more of the price we pay for the exceptional exceptionalism of a free society."

Desmond Tutu, Reader Supported News 
Tutu writes: "Documentary filmmaker Joshua Oppenheimer has released two courageous films in the last three years. They're courageous not only because they take on the genocide of more than one million Indonesians in 1965 and 1966, a grisly subject that has been swept under the rug for 50 years, but also because the filmmaker dares to believe that anyone would care about the death of a bunch of 'communists' halfway around the world before many of us were even born."
