  1. focus on the 9 streams of the life watershed…fresh air clean water healthy food health care affordable housing good schools productive work safety and security…..it ain't that difficult….

  2. All Political Elite are better Described as ' COCKROACHES ' no matter what their emblems are – Donkey Elephant Monkey or what ever. Need representatives that Refuse and Reject Policies that do not have Peoples interests in mind no matter the Party Affiliations and no Deals on any issues to pass Law or Policy other than Peoples benefits.

  3. Invesssstigations will only sink the Dems even further. What a stupid idea. When the economy turns, Trump will blame it on the Dem's for obstruction of his agenda and wanting the economy to fail rather than let him get any credit. And he will win this argument.

  4. Can we stop deluding ourselves that the U.S. Democratic Party has the least interest in deviating from the U.S. oligarchic regime's agenda of World Domination..?
    It's the major failing of TheRealNews that you continue to push the fantasy that such corporate minions can ever be 'reformed'.

  5. Good Lord, you are still having your hat on the "Russia Hack Hoax", "Russian Interference", "Collusion". Ha! All that (Bush Team CIA) Canard got us was Censorship of Social Media (Meuller's attack on Freedom of Speech on the internet" is the only thing that came out of that 2 years on nonstop BS.)

  6. So, the ending is strange. Howie is saying they (Congress) won't "can't" go make a war on Iran while Trump is in office. I wonder what he means by that. Does he mean they "can" start a war on Iran if, say, Hillary Clinton was President? I really don't know what he means by that, but it does seem that that would actually be a "benefit" (to the world) by having Trump in office. No War! Imagine that. (The only thing stopping the war is they don't want Trump running it). (Neither Bush or Obama actually won a war, btw. In fact, the Pentagon hasn't won a war since the CIA started manufacturing the enemy for them.)

  7. Oh, another CIA Democrat Candidate? Democrats expect people in Michigan to vote for a CIA Agent, who's platform is "I'm a CIA Agent!" I guess Democrats expect us all to be Immoral Zombies.

  8. The people who vote D or R need to take responsibility for the damage they cause the country … and stop blaming those who vote third party or decide not to vote. Casting a ballot every two years for a corporate monster and then disappearing is not performing a civic duty. Third party and non-voters need to demand that D and R voters take responsibility for their vote.

  9. Vote Blue today! then hold them accountable tomorrow. We MUST get rid of Trump – impeach him. If Pelosi & Schumer resist, harrass them – call, email, sign petitions, send letters.

  10. Corporate Democrats are nothing more than undercover corporate Republicans. What will change if they take over the house? Russian sanctions, wars, old and new, but mostly: nothing.

  11. so instead of voting for r light i just decided to vote r instead. the dem mainstream is worse because they lip serve liberal values while betraying them. f them. the real message is vote r instead until they get that we are pissed off.

  12. Democrats don't have the balls/guts/fortitude to go against Trump and the Repukelicans. They are all corporate shills. Don't rock the boat. Steady as she goes. Don't hurt Wall Street donors, Israeli lobby, big pharma, MIC, Oil, Healthcare Industry, etc..

  13. Historically, they probably will cower like they did when they took the house and senate during the Bush administration. Remember their investigation about WMD? Or Katrina? I don't either. To the old Dems, Manchin is a god and NAFTA was a great idea.

  14. My problem with people calling the republicans criminals (which they are) is that they don't feel the same way about the democrats when they are criminals as well.

  15. Most of American politicians are rotted and corrupted to the bone, and nothing will change until a new political force that really represents the people emerges. Right now, only the banks, the lobbies, the big corporations and the oligarchs have representation in Washington. Power to the people!

  16. They won't go after Trump over wall street connections. If they did both houses would face have 99% of members in jail tomorrow. Reason why the lies in Russiagate are all important. Then they can lie about anyone being Russian connected – including Real News – and shut them down.

  17. Paul where's your fervor towards Clinton's criminality including the Uranium one deal that traps Mueller as well. Haiti 10 Billion theft through the Clinton Global Health initiative. Obama colluded with Russia in his live mic gotcha saying after 2012 reelection he would be more free to help.
