Joseph Crowley

The Democrats' Wall Street bagman, Joe CrowleyI don’t know if Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) is a rising star in Congress, but if I had to bet, I’d bet yes. He has good instincts and natural leadership abilities.

Patrick Murphy... with Little Chucky SchmuckyThe Democratic Establishment is panicking progressives into voting for unspeakably corrupt conservative candidates, warning them that Trump is under the bed and that if they don't vote for Democrats up and down the ticket, he will kill and eat everyone-- and not necessarily in that order.

I was determined to start Sunday off with something uplifting. I mean it's Sunday. But it's a season infected by Trump. The best I could do was humor (above) and a couple of sardonic bits and pieces... like Trump's campaign CEO, Steve Bannon escalating the al-right's war against Paul Ryan.

Intimates of Nancy Pelosi's say that as much as she wants to retire as Democratic leader, she won't do it while there is a chance Steny Hoyer will get the job.

Friday we took a look at why voters are increasingly turning off to the two Establishment political parties. We looked particularly at why turnout among Democratic base voters is so low.

You mean Crowley rocking out with Huckabee doesn't get Queens & Bronx voters out to the polls?Turnout for the midterms in California was a dismal 42% this year. Barbara Lee (CA-13- Oakland) didn't have a real race, but her constituents turned out for her in greater numbers than any other congressional candidate in the whole state, more than any other Democrat and more than any Republican.

Like most Americans, I don't like my congressman. Adam Schiff is a slimy Blue Dog/New Dem of low moral character who will do anything to further his careerist goals. He's far more conservative than his newly redrawn district but few voters in the district suspect as much.

Supporters of Manhattan Councilmember Melissa Mark-Viverito, Mayor-elect Bill de Blasio's preference, say she has the votes to be the next speaker of the NYC City Council.by KenIf you can know a man, at least in part, by his enemies, then NYC Mayor-elect Bill de Blasio is standing even taller today -- not that he needs added tallness.

Dangerous douche bags Huckabee and Crowley... with guitarsEarlier today, we mentioned in passing, that Joe Crowley is one of the most corrupt Members of Congress... in history, and that he's been facilitating corrupt relationships between freshmen New Dems-- he's the ex-Chairman of the Big Business-owned coalition of anti-working family Democrats.

Wall St. shills Crowley & Himes, leading freshmen to slaughterEarly this morning we saw how California voters drove the obstructionist Republicans away from the levers of power and made it impossible for them to obstruct government. And the result was a $60 billion deficit turned into a $4 billion surplus.
