Propaganda

The press is letting Johnson get away with propaganda. We know Jefferies is stating the country’s health care is on the line, but, Johnson is simply pointing fingers. Where are the specifics? What is the difference and how do we bridge the gap. The American people can’t go without healthcare, so what are the specifics as Johnson sees it. 

Johnson is also not a legitimate authority for the Senate. I believe Mr. Thune should be stipulating what it will take to provide healthcare for Americans that Senate Democrats can agree with him to end the shutdown.

It is contempt of a federal court order.

Oregon National Guard or California National Guard is semantics. Trump is playing fool for his own ego. The federal judge was explicit about not deploying the National Guard into Oregon. It doesn’t matter what state he decides to victimize, he is in contempt of a federal judge’s intentions.

Trade deals contain extorted funds.

Contracts can say anything, but, as to it’s legality is another question. The trade deals Trump is declaring a victory for his administration contain extorted monies he hods exclusive rights to distribute. These monies are not minor amounts. Trump is demanding more than a half a trillion from the Japanese people and not private industry to spend on oil and gas pipelines from Alaska. These are stated to be projects no private investors are interested in pursuing.

These extorted monies are slush funds for oil and gas firms as well as every other Trump political donor. It is all racketeering and highly illegal. The contracts will never hold up at the WTO. The memorandum of understanding can eventually cost the American people trillions when court fights award the monies back to the original countries.

America’s allies already supply generous loans to the USA. The private investment Trump has lost due to his highly bigoted immigration policy and extorted costs of visas is substantial. Foreign investors packed up and went home when Trump’s fascist agenda became obvious.

This has to stop and Congress must act. Ultimately, it is Congress that has to vote for trade contracts the Executive Branch conducts. These contracts are not friendly and extort public funds. They cannot be passed by Congress.
