Consider this today's reminder that the #Democrats and #Republicans are BOTH terrible. In case you didn't know, Trump's current "#borderczar" #TomHoman first appeared all the way back in the #ObamaAdministration.
———BEGIN QUOTE———
Tom Homan, tapped by President-elect Donald Trump to be his incoming administration's "border czar," is a veteran immigration official and immigration hawk whose law enforcement career spans decades.
Once a police officer in New York state and Border Patrol agent, the Obama administration tapped him to head Immigration and Customs Enforcement's deportation branch in 2013. During Homan's time at ICE under President Obama, the agency carried out record numbers of formal deportations. Obama gave Homan a Presidential Rank Award, the highest civil service recognition.

#Obama didn't just APPOINT the man; he gave him a freaking AWARD for his work!
Vote for whoever you want, it is none of my business. But if you vote Democrat and you are one of those people that likes to say "no human being is illegal," be honest about the fact that you are voting for the "lesser evil." When it comes to #immigration, along with any other issue you could name, the Democrats are no saints. I have NEVER understood how anybody could actually be EXCITED about, PASSIONATE about the electoral campaign of a Democrat!
We need to be building #workingclass power OUTSIDE of electoral politics.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), first proposed by Elizabeth Warren (now a senator), is protecting American consumers bigtime.
Surprisingly, the Republican SCOTUS just threw out a legal challenge to the CFPB.
After Obamacare, it has been the greatest help initiated by the Obama administration for US consumers.

> The issue this time is the plan by Prime Minister #ShinzoAbe to alter a key provision of Japan’s peace constitution to allow Japan’s “Self Defense Forces” to take part in overseas military operations for the first time since World War II... who is this prime minister who has won the trust of the #ObamaAdministration while earning the enmity of the growing majority of its own citizens?

In the video Assange calls "Brilliant," Dore opines that the Obama administration was evil. "What we did in Libya, Iraq, Gantanamo, black ops sites," was evil. Dore mentions the torture report, increased weapons sales to the Saudis under Clinton, chemical weapons the United States sold Iraq."
