"For the people act" - The bottom line?

  • American citizens could no longer talk about politics without possibly being in violation of the law: H.R. 1 looks to regulate any speech that: promotes or supports the candidate, or ­attacks or opposes an opponent of the candidate
  • The law would also seek to regulate any communications that:“refers to a candidate or an opponent to a candidate 120 days before an election or 60 days before a primary or a caucus.”
  • The law would seek to redefine and regulate any political position, by redefining as a lobbyist anyone who engages in: “legislative, political, and strategic counseling services”
  • The law would require complete disclosure of information about any donations (whether they even are politically driven) to any group or organization that the FEC determines has any political messages. So a donor could be "exposed" to people who don't like a particular message that organization might support (or even a subsidiary) - leading to public bullying and harassment. 
  • The law would strip states of their ability (as the constitution demands) to control their own election laws. It would remove their ability to draw congressional districts, control their own voter rolls, as well as some other more mundane restrictions that gives specific control over to the Federal government. 
  • The law would create the equivalent of Government funded campaigns, as Government funding would make most small donations irrelevant.
  • Instead of a six person commission that requires a three/three split in partisanship and at least four votes to move ahead (requiring bi-partisanship). The new law would create a five person commission, which would effectively assure that another piece of our Government is guaranteed to become "partisan". 

It's unusual that the ACLU is at odds with the Democratic Party, but even they are against this bill. There is nothing "for the people" in this act. It's a power grab, that seeks to put "more" power in the Federal Government and makes sure that this power can be partisan, while stripping power from both the States and the individuals.

It stands no chance of being passed and signed into law, and for good reason.

I am curious...  Is anyone else sick of horrible laws that primarily do the very opposite of what the "name" of the law implies?

"If Robert Mueller comes back, Mueller became a folk hero in the United States, [played on SNL by] Robert DeNiro... The central and most serious question in this investigation, the reason Robert Mueller started it: Did the current president of the United States assist the Kremlin in an attack on our democracy?"

"And if Mueller, after two years, comes back and says, 'I don’t have the evidence to support that charge,' that’s a reckoning," he continued. "That’s a reckoning for progressives and Democrats who hoped that Mueller would essentially erase the 2016 election. It’s a reckoning for the media. It’s a reckoning across the country if in fact after all this time there was no collusion."

Finland: Government Collapses Over Universal Health Care Costs

The government of Finland collapsed Friday due to the rising cost of universal health care and the prime minister’s failure to enact reforms to the system.

Prime Minister Juha Sipila and the rest of the cabinet resigned after the governing coalition failed to pass reforms in parliament to the country’s regional government and health services, the Wall Street Journal reports. Finland faces an aging population, with around 26 percent of its citizens expected to be over 65 by the year 2030, an increase of 5 percent from today.

It’s not just Finland experiencing such problems with its socialist policies. Other Nordic countries, also touted by American socialists and communists as the model America should follow, are suffering similar economic burdens directly related to their socialist policies.

The Washington Free Beacon continues:

Reuters reports that soaring treatment costs and longer life spans have particularly affected Nordic countries.

“Nordic countries, where comprehensive welfare is the cornerstone of the social model, have been among the most affected,” according to Reuters. “But reform has been controversial and, in Finland, plans to cut costs and boost efficiency have stalled for years.”

Similar problems are bedeviling Sweden and Denmark, two other countries frequently held up as models to follow on health care. Finland’s crisis in particular comes as calls for universal health care have grown louder among Democrats in the United States

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Customs agents have seized the biggest shipment of cocaine recovered at the ports of New York and New Jersey in 25 years.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection says 3,200 pounds of the drug in 60 packages were seized at Port New York/Newark on Feb. 28. The street value is estimated at $77 million.

It's the biggest cocaine seizure at the ports since 1994.

A Customs spokesman says the container was recovered from a ship that originated in South America.

Sacrilege: Ocasio-Cortez Seen Signing Economic Textbooks

AUSTIN, TX—While attending a special SXSW filled with many affluent haters of capitalism, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was filmed while signing several economics textbooks, a gesture that was offensive to many.

“Someone so hostile to math putting her name on such a book just seems like a mockery of everything economics stands for,” said economics professor Esther Summers. “To people who believe fervently in things like supply and demand and free markets, this is a real slap in the face.”

“She has expressed nothing but contempt for all the luxuries and other gains of our capitalist system,” stated pundit Richard Larson. “This is extremely offensive to the billions of people lifted out of poverty by capitalism this past century.”

Ocasio-Cortez seemed unfazed by the controversy. “Yay! I like writing my name!” she told reporters. “Though sometimes I have to google how to spell it since it’s kinda long.”

H.R. 1 cracks the whip. As the Institute for Free Speech points out, the current campaign-finance rules limit expenditures that expressly advocate for the election or defeat of a candidate, or refer to a candidate in public advertising shortly before an election. The idea is to have clear rules so groups can promote their views without fear of running afoul of federal regulations.

H.R. 1 blows this regime up. It seeks to regulate any speech at any time that “promotes or supports the candidate, or attacks or opposes an opponent of the candidate,” a fuzzy standard that could catch up all manner of nonelectoral messages (e.g., “Trump’s tariffs are a mistake,” or “Support Trump’s wall”).


H.R. 1 also widens the definition of coordination between a group and a candidate to encompass almost any communication. It’d still be permissible to discuss a candidate’s position on an issue, so long as there is no talk “regarding the candidate’s or committee’s campaign advertising, message, strategy, policy, polling, allocation of resources, fundraising, or other campaign activities.”

Even if a group doesn’t coordinate with a candidate under this loose standard, it could still be deemed to have coordinated if it were founded by someone who goes on to become a candidate; relies on the professional services of someone who also did work for a candidate; or is run by someone who had conversations about a campaign with the relative of a candidate.

On top of all this, H.R. 1 goes after the privacy of donors to advocacy organizations. It mandates the disclosure of the names and addresses of donors giving more than $10,000 to groups that engage in “campaign-related disbursements.” Given our toxic political environment, this would potentially subject the donors to harassment and abuse, and they might not even be aware of or support the communications in question.


Supporters of H.R. 1 say it is necessary to rein in super PACs, the frightening-sounding organizations that aren’t as unregulated as everyone believes (the Federal Election Commission gets reports of their expenditures and contributions). But, as the Institute for Free Speech notes, the bill affects a much broader array of “trade associations, unions, business groups, and advocacy organizations, such as Planned Parenthood and the National Right to Life Committee.”

Love them or hate them, these groups are part of the warp and woof of American public life, and they shouldn’t have to think twice before engaging in acts of persuasion that enrich and enliven our democracy, not corrupt it.

According to a 2018 Fidelity Investments analysis, average retirement-account balances are $106,500 for 401(k)s, $111,000 for IRAs, and $85,500 for 403(b)s. That's a far cry from what Fidelity recommends most Americans save: six times their salary by age 50, and seven times their salary by age 55. About 29% of households with members aged 55 and over have neither retirement savings, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts (IRAs), nor a defined-benefit (DB) plan (a traditional pension). An additional 23% do have a DB plan, but no other retirement savings.

Trump Today: President says ‘airplanes far too complex to fly’ after Boeing’s 737 Max crash
MarketWatch Mark DeCambre,MarketWatch 2 hours 6 minutes ago

A pair of fatal crashes of Boeing 737 Max 8 jets in about four months has punished the airplane maker's stock and drawn criticism from President Donald Trump on Tuesday. In a multipart tweet that didn't specifically mention Boeing Co. (BA) or a Sunday crash of 737 Max 8 jet near Addis Ababa that left 157 people dead, the president said: “Airplanes are becoming far too complex to fly. Trump's tweet comes as aviation regulators across the globe have taken the unusual step of grounding the 737 Max jets on the heels of the weekend Ethiopian Airlines crash, even after the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration declared the planes airworthy. ...

Why assholes like the goat fucker, pauline and the rest like republicans......they are all racists like this fox host making money on your fears......idiot..

Newly unearthed audio from the last decade suggests that Fox News host Tucker Carlson was open to a racist, xenophobic president.

Just one day after Media Matters for America unearthed audio of inappropriate comments made by Fox News host Tucker Carlson, the organization is now releasing audio of racist comments he made that use a lot of white nationalistic rhetoric.

In one exchange, he explained how a racist president could get elected and seemed excited by the possibility.

Like the sexist comments released on Sunday, Carlson’s remarks were made from 2006 to 2009 on “The Bubba the Love Sponge Show,” a popular shock-jock radio program on which he was a weekly guest from 2006 to 2011.

In one broadcast from March 2006, when Carlson was working at MSNBC, he seemed to predict our current situation by suggesting that a bigot could easily become president.

However, he thought it would be a Democrat.
