Democrats Vote To Give President "Treasonous Agent Of A Foreign Power" Trump $717B Military Budget, A $100B Increase

Whether you believe Donald Trump managed to elevate himself into the Oval Office using Russian hacking efforts - which is actually the making of awful internet memes to 'sway' voters - and evading the eyes of the numerous American intelligence agencies and managed to remain in office for nearly half of his first term or not, why on earth would you vote to give an "illegitimate president" an increased military budget?

The legislation, which is called H.R 5515 or the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 was sent to President Trump's desk after a 87-10 vote, with many Democrats voting in favour of the legislation.

Democrats make plenty of noise about resisting Donald Trump, opposing the "manchurian candidate" and impeaching him from office.. and then turn around and vote in favour of gifting Trump the third largest military budget in US history, being beaten only by the 1940's WWII-era Defense Budget and $721B given to Barack Obama in 2010.

Notable Democrats, ironically those which are throwing their weight behind potential Trump collusion and impeachment such as Nancy Pelosi, Cory Booker, Joe Donnelly, Dianne Feinstein, Doug Jones, Chris Murphy, Chuck Schumer and Tim Kaine among a majority of others voted in favour of the legislation, seemingly unmoved about giving the "Russian Putin puppet" Donald Trump a monumental increase in Defense Spending, allowing him to cause chaos, continue to bomb seven countries and cause mass civilian casualties.

Now, to be fair to a select few Democrats, those being Dick Durbin, Kirsten Gillibrand, Kamala Harris, Ed Markey, Jeff Merkley, Elizabeth Warren and Ron Wyden, as well as Independent Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, voted against giving Trump an increased military budget and they should be commended.

MSNBC Host Lawrence O'Donnell Explains How The Democratic Party Treats The Left

MSNBC's "The Last Word" host Lawrence O'Donnell describes his politics as a "practical European socialist", which essentially boils down to being a nordic-style social democrat, usually in favour of a mixed economy with a generous welfare state and has defended his positions on MSNBC news shows that typically frown upon stepping outside the neoliberal bubble. O'Donnell is no progressive hero in the context of american politics, sometimes scolding progressive politicians whenever they mildly criticize the Democratic Party, such as when Bernie Sanders tweeted about having to take on the Democratic establishment as well as Republicans, O'Donnell decided to concern troll Sanders by claiming that the Democratic establishment wouldn't pass Sanders' proposals if he wasn't nice to them. Over the course of the last few months an old video of O'Donnell explaining how to move the Democratic Party further left and how the party treats the p

MSNBC News Caught Faking Poll Numbers To Elevate Biden Above Bernie Sanders

If you were to believe recent polling figures in regards to the Democratic Primaries, Joe Biden is by far and away one of the most popular political figures in America, with his 2020 poll numbers giving him a 37 and 32 point lead over Bernie Sanders in the recent past. There has however been issues with some of the polls that have been undertaken and given Joe Biden his huge lead, such as the one pictured above, which shows Bernie leading Biden by 2% (27%-25%) among non-white voters, but you wouldn’t know that if you watched the MSNBC segment regarding the poll, in which Biden magically gains three percentage points in order to go ahead of Bernie in these demographics. Here’s another poll (CNN) that was used in order to show Sanders “plummeting support” and as you can see the poll includes zero respondents of anyone under the age of fifty. The problem being that Sanders base of support is largely made up of younger voters, so to not include any in a poll on Sanders is simply di

Sally Albright: I'd Prefer 4 More Years Of Trump Than President Bernie Sanders

One of the main talking points used against Bernie Sanders and his supporters is that their lack of enthusiasm and support for Hillary Clinton in 2016 directly led to Donald Trump becoming president, with Sanders supporters being labelled as privileged and sexist for not backing Clinton, and yes that includes you misogynistic Jill Stein/Green Party voters! However, our favourite anti-Bernie Democratic loyalist, Sally Albright, now insists that it isn’t pivotal that you support the Democratic nominee in order to defeat Donald Trump, should Sanders win the 2020 Democratic nomination. Albright recently claimed that “ 4 more years of Trump would be better in the long run ” as opposed to a President Bernie Sanders. This comes after the “moderate” wing of the Democratic Party have spent the past three years suggesting that apathetic Sanders supporters are the cause of every terrible Trump decision and we’d be in a utopia if us sexists would have just fell in line behind Clinton.
