Too much peacekeeping

Fierce Planet Posted on June 29, 2017 by jnfrJune 29, 2017

"Just 5 months into our time here, we've cut over half a billion $$$ from the UN peacekeeping budget & we’re only getting started.” pic.twitter.com/LA7IKqupff — Nikki Haley (@nikkihaley) June 29, 2017

It isn’t nice!

Fierce Planet Posted on November 17, 2011 by jnfrNovember 17, 2011

I know I’ve posted this before, but a friend reminded me of it today, and it’s perfect for N17 and the 99% movement, so here it is again.

The Republican Party’s governing philosophy

Fierce Planet Posted on October 26, 2010 by jnfrOctober 26, 2010

Seriously, the Republicans in Congress don’t have one. What drives them is a pure lust for power, and money for their corporate backers. They have no actual ideas about how to grow the economy, how to raise wages, how to improve education, or about what to do for any other problem facing the country. They’ve got nothing. “The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president.” — Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY)

Watch them burn

Fierce Planet Posted on October 4, 2010 by jnfrOctober 4, 2010

Elizabeth Warren

Fierce Planet Posted on September 2, 2010 by jnfrSeptember 15, 2010

I simply don’t believe we’ll ever see her as the head of the Consumer Protection Agency. Which is too bad, because she has a singular understanding of the importance of that post, and of the ways in which our economy as it is currently structured works against ordinary middle-class people and those who aspire to the middle class. But the owners, the super-rich for whom our economy really works, and their compliant enablers in the Congress, will never allow a real progressive in that post. It might cost them too much money. I’d be delighted to be wrong, but I … Continue reading →
