Anti Carper Ad Airs During Morning Joe
Drug companies have a monopoly power over pricing. Why? Because politicians like Tom Carper vote to give it to them. Carper sided with drug companies over people who need life…

Song Of The Day: Sept. 12, 2018
RT and Bonnie Raitt perform one of Richard's most beautiful songs:
Nobody likes “regulations” until your drinking water is filled with hog feces
When Republicans carry on about how "regulations" and say that eneed to be "cut" because "the economy." Please ask them to be specific. Because more often than not they are talking about cutting regulations that are designed to do things like deal with the millions of gallons of untreated sewage produced by industrial hog farms.
The heavy rain expected from Hurricane Florence could flood hog manure pits, coal ash dumps and other industrial sites in North Carolina, creating a noxious witches’ brew of waste that might wash into homes and threaten drinking water supplies.
Computer models predict more than 3 feet of rain in the eastern part of the state, a fertile low-lying plain veined by brackish rivers with a propensity for escaping their banks. Longtime locals don’t have to strain their imaginations to foresee what rain like that can do. It’s happened before.

Never forget
...I know it’s 9/11 and I can tell you right now, that there is nothing better than how this country has changed for the better. Under that monkey Obama I would never have been able to outright tell an idiot on welfare to go get a job or better yet yell at a queer at Starbucks to leave the country and go to that socialist failing dystopia in Europe you love so much. Shit the other day I cheered when they called the cops on those two “African americans” sucking on free wifi and not buying shit. You know damn well “they” just go in there to cause trouble and stick their chins out about how it’s their store.
