Inequality Is At The Heart of America’s Fracturing, Says George Parker
Voter Suppression is SUBVERSIVE! ALL ELECTED OFFICIALS VOTING FOR VOTER SUPPRESSION LEGISLATION SHOULD BE PROPERLY CHARGED WITH SUBVERSION!! LET THE PIECES FALL WHERE THEY MAY. AND IF THE HEAVILY ARMED RIGHT-WING ZEALOTS RISE UP IN ARMS, IMPOSE MARTIAL LAW TO QUELL THEM DOWN. THE WHITE SUPREMACISTS BEHIND THIS SUBVERSION WOULD DO THAT TO THE REST OF US IN A HEARTBEAT! DO THIS BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE, AND APPLY THE RICO LAWS THE THE ENTIRE TRUMP MAFIA
MSNBC is garbage. Pure propaganda injected into every story and they wonder why people reject them!
Hypocrite lying Marxists. The American Dream is equal opportunity, not equal outcomes. And that opportunity was based on the Judeo/Christian ethic/moral, world view that does not discriminate against people based on ethnicity, gender, education, genealogy, or economic status. Ideology is not reality, but the ideology of the American Dream is the best construct for individual and national prosperity and fulfillment.
We the people NEED HELP‼️ We’ve been carrying the US forward with work schedules patched together with 2, 3, 4 part time jobs & no healthcare, no paid sick days, no benefits, no retirement, no childcare, no etc. Meanwhile the billionaires & Corporations are exploding with untaxed wealth. ENOUGH or there will be riots in the streets. Nothing gets done because the politicians are owned by corporations. They should be taxed like they were in the booming 50’s‼️ Keep fighting for our basic rights to live with a modicum of human dignity‼️

The poor in America are the most well fed , richest comfortable poor on the planet. Jump in a volcano.
Yuri Bezmenov told us it’s you. You are the bad guys. And your plan of demoralization , subversion and created crisis is at the heart.
Yes
I don’t fit into any of those categories, thankfully.
YES FOLKS!! Yet another person who crossed the Clintons is now DEAD!!!! Another ‘suicide’!! This time it is the reporter who broke the infamous Bill Clinton-Loretta Lynch ‘tarmac meeting!! His name is Christopher Sign. Already MSNBC is blocking my link to this NEWS because they don’t want you to know. I have lost count as to how many have now either been ‘mugged’ or shot or stabbed or committed ‘suicide’, yet NEVER an investigation by these propaganda outlets!!
Homie is dropping truth piledrivers. Hope everyone listens to his words again. 110% SPOT ON brother. Excellent guest
I heard a great analogy recently to this wealth gap problem. A rich white American, a poor white American, and a minority American were in the same room eating a pizza pie. The rich one grabbed 7 slices and told the poor one that the minority would steal the last slice.
This is a very nuanced view of class and caste in the USA today.
Natural Selection has consequences that really can not be altered.
George Packer….remember his name.
Finally someone who understands what is going on….it was always the greedy capitalists institutions that tear America apart.
No liberalism is
The Religious right and moral majority, and trickle down economics….class warfare.
As Americans we have to be more involved & exercise our rights to express what we want! Anti-immigration is wrong!! To be so weakens our nation!! It is the influx of immigrants that keeps us sharp! If the U.S. ever DID just become a nation of racist white dudes it would decay from within from stagnation & sheer ineptitude & Stupidity!! Remind you of someone? WE NEED IMMIGRANTS TO REMAIN STRONG!!! Immigrants contribute GREATLY to our economy, social growth, social inventions, even the gene pool benefits!
Listen, the math is so simple even a dumb-dumb like me can understand it.
1) Money _makes_ money. Money = power. Power _makes_ money.
2) More money _makes_ more money. More money = more power. More power _makes_ more money.
3) The most money _makes_ the most money. The most money = the most power. The most power _makes_ the most money.
Reagan was the beginning of the end. Incompetent dimwit who became the first object of Republican cult-worship.
