Republican Operatives within the Democratic Party 2016

(D)ude: Man! Former Ohio State Senator Nina Turner is a Republican operative disguised as a diehard Bernie Sanders surrogate who refuses to read Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine’s thorough 2016 blueprint for our future as a United States of America entitled Stronger Together. Like Nina Turner, another Republican operative has infiltrated the Clinton campaign with disparaging choice of words to respond to Donald Trump’s inexplicably cruel claim during the second debate that Captain Humayun Khan would not have died if he had been president then. Of course, Jesse Lehrich’s expletive over Twitter addressing Trump’s insulting a Gold Star Family only proves the level of depravity that the Republican Party is utilizing in order to cheat itself back into Majority Party status in the United States Congress and White House. Jesse Lehrich must be discharged of his duties as a Clinton spokesperson immediately. Hillary Clinton cannot afford to have such Republican infiltrates misguiding her stellar campaign.

(M)an: Dude! Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O’Donnell have lost what I considered to be better judgment than many primetime newscasters. Maddow and O’Donnell’s interns and staffers are working with a Republican bias since Microsoft stopped financing MSNBC. There is no progressive media in the United States of America. The Republican financiers have managed to degrade Maddow and O’Donnell’s shows substantially over the course of the last two months, a critical time frame given that we are in a presidential election cycle. But that has been the Republican strategy from the time of Richard Nixon. What was Watergate? Essentially, it was a case where journalistic ethics thwarted the oncoming barrage of corruption in United States politics, which is being challenged again by the Republican Party and its frontrunner Donald Trump.

D: Man! Former Ohio State Senator Nina Turner must read the Clinton and Kaine new millennium blueprint. Beginning on page 29, Clinton and Kaine respond to the crises facing communities like Flint, Michigan very specifically with actual action steps that they want constituents to hold them accountable for implementing if Clinton and Kaine win the White House this November 8, 2016. The breadth of Clinton and Kaine’s responsiveness is incredible and empathic,


Flint, Michigan, is a city of 99,000 people — 56 percent African American, four in ten living below the poverty line — that spent nearly two years drinking poisoned water.

As a result, thousands of kids were exposed to harmful levels of lead, which can irreparably harm brain development and cause learning and behavioral problems.

But the problems in Flint go beyond the lead in the water. Years of underinvestment in the city created a hollowed-out community without enough jobs or opportunity for the people who live there. Not enough families have access to the quality education their children deserve. And the people of Flint have too little political power, which left them vulnerable to harm and indifference. For the two years that Flint was living with poisoned water, residents’ concerns were downplayed and ignored by state government.

There are too many Flints in this country — too many places where overwhelmingly low-income communities and communities of color face chronic pollution, exposure to toxic chemicals, and staggering neglect. From Flint to Albuquerque, Baltimore to El Paso, Cleveland to Chicago, there are still opportunity deserts — parts of cities, towns, and rural communities that have been cut off from jobs, investment, and, all too often, hope. It’s time for that to change.

The hard truth is that we still face complex set of economic, social, and political challenges as a nation. It is not enough to create jobs if we do not also take on the reality of systemic racism. It is not enough to transition to a clean energy future if we let the coal communities that kept our lights on for generations sit in the dark. These challenges are intersectional, mutually reinforcing, and we have to take on all of them.

We’ll start addressing them by:

1.   Breaking down barriers for communities of color. People of color face disproportionately high barriers to starting a small business, buying a home, and even getting a job. For instance, African Americans and Latinos tend to have about half the capital of white men when they start a business — and that gap actually widens as their businesses mature. We will provide mentoring, training, and access to small business incubators to 50,000 entrepreneurs in underserved communities and expand federal funding to support small businesses. We will support initiatives in underserved communities to match up to $10,000 in savings for responsible homeowners who earn less than the area median income put toward the down payment on a first home. And we will create a new “Infrastructure to Opportunity” fund to make the kinds of investments that better connect people to opportunity, including better transit systems, high speed broadband, and safer, healthier schools.

2.   Honoring our Tribal communities. We will begin by honoring the trust and treaty responsibilities of the U.S. government. The Native American unemployment rate is nearly double the national average. Too many Native youth don’t feel like they really matter to America. With over 40 percent of the Native community under the age of twenty-four, we know that investment in Native American youth is a critical step toward building strong communities and spurring economic revitalization. We will continue to support the Generation Indigenous program that has made important strides in promoting new investments and increased engagement with Native American youth. We will empower Tribal governments to help their own citizens combat drug and alcohol addiction by implementing preventive programming, investing in treatment and recovery, and ensuring that all first responders have access to naloxone.

3.    Building a bright future for coal communities. For generations, America’s coal communities kept our lights on and our factories humming. But employment in coal mining has been on the decline for decades, and layoffs have increased as the United States gets more energy from cleaner sources, like natural gas and renewable energy. Just as we are committed to tackling climate change, we are committed to making sure America’s coal communities remain a vital part of our economic future. We will make sure coal workers and their families get the benefits they’ve earned and the respect they deserve by protecting health care and pensions. And we are prepared to invest billions in building a strong future for coal country, by building new infrastructure, repurposing abandoned mine lands and power plants to host new businesses, expanding and simplifying the New Markets Tax Credit to attract more private investment to coal country, and creating a Coal Communities Challenge Fund to support locally driven economic development priorities in areas like small business development, health care, housing, clean energy, and tourism.

4.   Supporting youth jobs. Roughly one in ten Americans between the ages of sixteen and twenty-four is unemployed, more than twice the national average. And these numbers hide devastating racial disparities: the unemployment rate for African American teenagers is almost twice that of white teenagers, while the unemployment rate for Latino teenagers is roughly a quarter higher. Being unemployed at a young age can have a permanent “scarring effect” as a person ages, contributing to lower wages and longer periods of unemployment later in life. We will create millions of jobs for young people in hard-hit communities through new grant programs and partnerships; invest in “opportunity youth,” the approximately 2.3 million young people are neither in work nor in school, by expanding successful jobs and skills programs; and expand high-quality apprenticeship programs that provide young people an opportunity to earn a paycheck while they learn valuable skills.

5.     Investing in rural America. Forty-six million people live in rural America, but too many rural communities struggle with high levels of poverty and unemployment, and lack access to health care and affordable education. We will invest in the next generation of family farms, expand access to  capital for rural small businesses, invest in biofuels and other clean energy solutions, and support new advances in telemedicine that will help rural communities get more timely health care.

6.    Target more investment to communities left out and left behind. Some communities and neighborhoods struggle with generational poverty, decade after decade, in which those born in poverty stay there throughout their lives. To increase public and private investment in these hardest-hit communities, we will explore policies like South Carolina Representative Jim Clyburn’s 10-20-30 proposal, in which 10 percent of program dollars are directed to communities where 20 percent or more of the population has been living in poverty for 30 years or longer. We will expand the New Markets Tax Credit, which has successfully steered billions in private investment for economic development activities, so more communities can benefit.  

M: Dude! Democratic Senator from Minnesota Amy Klobuchar was on Rachel Maddow’s show on MSNBC before the first presidential debate and Maddow addressed the legislator with such lewd disrespect. This was Friday, September 30, 2016. Before then, Lawrence O’Donnell invited neoconservative radio host Glenn Beck on Wednesday, September 28, [2016] to discuss the fabrication that is the Republican Party’s leadership not being aligned with Donald Trump.

D: Man! Of course it is a fabrication! In fact, it is an all-out lie that the Republican Party’s leadership is not aligned with Donald Trump! Nina Turner, a former career Democrat, is aligned with the Republican Party! Nina Turner has been promised a GOP leadership position in the near future if the Republicans manage to maintain their Majority Party status in the United States Congress. Nina Turner’s son, who is a police officer, has been promised a raise and eventual promotion to Chief of Police.

M: Dude! Nina Turner better watch out. The Republican donors list is saturated with folks who are aligned historically to KKK precursors like the John Birch Society, the Koch Brothers being an infamous example. Nina Turner will get ahead as an African American sellout to the Republican Party, but at the price of destroying her demographic of African American intellectuals who must understand that Republican financiers have made tremendous multibillion dollar investments in 2015 and 2016 to buy folks like Nina Turner at the local and state levels where they, the Republican donors, have essentially abandoned constituents with their own special interests and local and state Republican leaders who are really just pocketing huge sums of money originally set aside for constituent concerns like rebuilding the failing and literally falling infrastructure. Republican local and state level officials need to be held accountable for heisting first responders’ pensions and the federal assistance they sought but never implemented in the interest of constituents, but built personal wealth with for themselves underhandedly.

D: Man! Another Republican operative, the statistician Nate Silver, a Republican sellout since 2011 and 2012, must understand that his misreporting statistics through the Press Corps, another major Republican operative and sellout, is not working at all. Men are not voting for the GOP and Donald Trump this election cycle, including blue collars like us! Why? Because, simply stated, no one — man or woman — votes for their own destruction and death! Donald Trump and the Republican Party and the Press Corps are death sentencers.

M: Dude! I agree! Poverty is a universal, not divided up into the way the Republicans and Donald Trump make it seem with their nonsense “PC” lingo. Ending “political correctness” is just Donald Trump and the Republican Party’s attempt to sever the rule of law in the United States and kill American democracy and diplomacy with riots and unrest amongst constituents who have already had their local and state treasuries stripped bare of all financial assets. And the Republican Party and their official spokesperson Donald Trump plan to heist government treasuries around the world, beginning with US and Poland.

D: Man! The Weimar Republic fell to Adolf Hitler then. Obviously, the American Electorate is not going allow a bunch of third rate actors from reality television and Wall Street wreck our economy and lives now! The only folks who are voting Republican in this presidential election cycle are sellouts! And the initial sellouts, the thoroughly corrupt American Press Corps and International Press Corps, must be proven ineffective! VOTE!
