AFL-CIO Endorses Keith Ellison For DNC Chair
[Daily Caller] The American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) endorsed U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison for Chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) Thursday.

"Representative Ellison meets the high standard working people expect from leaders of our political parties," AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka said in a statement. "He is a proven leader who will focus on year-round grassroots organizing to deliver for working families across America," he continued.

The AFL-CIO’s executive council voted overwhelmingly to endorse Ellison to lead the DNC, according to a statement from the Federation. Several candidates for the post have sought out the endorsement of the AFL-CIO, which represents 12.5 million workers and is the nation’s largest union.

The union, which endorsed Hillary Clinton for president, now endorses Ellison -- who is combating allegations of antisemitism. The Muslim-American congressman from Minnesota also is on the defensive for controversial writings from his past.

#4  The AFL-CIO isn't a union. More than anything it is a lobbying rganization. Also as unions in the private sector continue their own decline the AFL-CIO will be dominated by the unions in the public sector. And the public sector unions are little more than wings of the Democratic Party. But in fairness one can also say that the Chamber of Commerce is a wing of the Republican Party

#5  If you listen to Ellison speak he touts the same leftist/socialist meme that is very attractive to the socialist left/communist, and the old guard Deomcrats from the 70's. He is well spoken and reminds me of #44.
On the other hand, he has made a lot of incendiary statements as well.
I think he would be a perfect fit as Chair of the DNC. He would be no less a bomb thrower than Howard Dean. Perfect for Pelosi and Durbin.
This way the American voters will have a stark contrast of the two parties, even the RINO's will stand out as conservative when compared to Ellison.

Clinton communications director accuses Trump of 'empowering the white-nationalist movement' and challenges him to 'own up to it'
[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] Jennifer Palmieri is refusing to back down from her claim that Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
won the White House on the backs of white supremacists

'I don’t know whether the Trump campaign needed to give a platform to white supremacists to win,' she writes in the Washington Post today

'But the campaign clearly did, and it had the effect of empowering the white-nationalist movement'

She hit Trump for retweeting white nationalists from his Twitter account and invoked former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke's support

Palmieri attacked Trump's campaign manager at a forum last week; she said she'd rather lose the White House than win the way Kellyanne Conway did

I'm as "conservative" as they come, but I don't know a single "white nationalist".

I just knew better than to vote for somebody as *evil* (and incompetent) as Hillary Clinton.

Well, they just exercised their "white privilege".

#4  Ditto Crusader.

Of course the key is how you define "white nationalist".
I am white and I believe in the Constitution so, according to the likes of this scum, I'm sure I am a "white nationalist".

Hopefully Trump will stomp these folks into the ground whenever they start with this deplorable crap.

When over 75 percent of your population is white*, and you push racial identity politics, in a democracy, the major will look after their own interests cause you don't.

#7  Demonizing and trolling is a tactic. In or out of power. There are still enough intelligent Americans who ignore the trolls who when given the keys to the high offices responded to our kindness as a weakness and doubled down on disrespect. Thus, Trump is now President.

Best revenge Trump can do is get the economy humming quickly so people can see with their own eyes how the Progressive agenda was crippling things. Certainly they will try to credit Obama but folks won't buy it at this point.

Is Donald Trump already the president?
[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] President-elect Trump has spent the month since his election victory engaging in some distinctly presidential-style behavior, including engaging with businesses on behalf of the American people, conducting a bit of foreign policy, and delivering sweeping public addresses -- all before he holds the authority of the presidency.

With weeks to go until he takes office, Trump's moves have tested the limits of his unofficial powers as the president-in-waiting. And although his activism has drawn scrutiny from detractors, his favorability ratings have hit new heights on the heels of several high-profile successes.

"I don't think it's normal for a president-elect to be out and about like this, but this is the era of Trump, and he is literally rewriting the rules," said Ford O'Connell, a Republican strategist.

"Things always change when you actually are sworn in, but at the same time, he is taking advantage of this and throwing his weight around while he's got the momentum," O'Connell added.

#8  Trump is sharp enough to know what is happening and knows trying to get things turned around needs to done ASAP. Like before 2017. 401's are worth less, police and fire pensions are tanking, the dominoes are falling. All due to the ignorance that Obama symbolizes.

Work needs to be done now, not tomorrow, next week, not 2 months from now January 21, 2017.

Trump’s Likely Labor Pick, Andrew Puzder, Is Critic of Minimum Wage Increases
[NYTIMES] President-elect Donald J. Trump is expected to name Andrew F. Puzder, chief executive of the company that operates the fast food outlets Hardee’s and Carl’s Jr. and an outspoken critic of the worker protections enacted by the B.O. regime, to be secretary of labor, people close to the transition said on Thursday.

Mr. Puzder has spent his career in the private sector and has opposed efforts to expand eligibility for overtime pay, arguing thon the lam minimum wage increases hurt small businesses and lead to job loss among low-skilled workers.

#10  Perhaps. If you'd actually pointed out a flaw of Mr. Puzder's that would adversely affect the national employment environment, such as him being soft on H1Bs, rather than his engaging in marketing to a potential customer base that you personally disapprove of, perhaps I might have been more... polite.

In any case, you seem stressed. Might I suggest a (family-friendly) coloring book?

You invoke "women" as if you somehow *value* them, yet you're sorry you voted for the only candidate that could keep (another) Clinton out of this nation's highest office?

Good God. You really need to ask yourself whether you believe in anything at all.

Reid predicts death of filibuster
[POLITICO] Senate Democrats are about to get rolled on Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
’s Cabinet picks. They could spend years in the minority. And instead of the GOP collapse that many expected on Nov. 8, it’s now Democrats soul-searching about what went wrong.

But as ... the charismatic senator-for-life from Nevada, currently majority leader ...
prepares to leave the Senate this month after 34 years in Washington, he says everything is just fine with his party, thank you.

To hear Reid tell it, the party’s electoral collapse wasn’t a result of poor messaging or even a bad candidate. It stemmed from looser campaign finance rules, FBI Director James Comey and the influence of a few powerful individuals -- namely the Koch brothers, his long-running nemeses. The outgoing Senate minority leader is unapologetic on behalf of his party, and remains resolute that Democrats don’t need to chart a new political course after their 2016 debacle.

"They have Trump, I understand that. But I don’t think the Democratic Party is in that big of trouble," Reid said in a half-hour interview with Politico on Wednesday, one day before he’ll deliver his farewell address. "I mean, if Comey kept his mouth shut, we would have picked up a couple more Senate seats and we probably would have elected Hillary."

And Reid not only refused to admit any misgivings about invoking the "nuclear option" for most nominations -- a move that’s backfiring now by empowering Republicans -- he predicted it’s just a matter of time before the filibuster is done away with altogether.

Though the filibuster is Democrats’ best weapon against Trump, Reid said it would be a "mistake" for his party to reflexively oppose whatever Trump proposes. But the outgoing minority leader also wants Democrats to stand firm for their core principles, urging politicians to do "everything in their power" to block "wacky" Supreme Court nominees and to not be "complicit" in supporting GOP priorities like tax cuts for the rich and repealing Obamacare
... aka the Affordable Care Act, an ineptly designed and worse executed piece of legislation designed to bring 17 percent of the U.S. economy under the direct control of the government. The previous iteration, known as Hillarycare, was laughed out of Washington. This stinker was passed on a party-line vote without being read...

Barack Obama Blames Lousy Legacy On White Southerners (Video)
[SP] In an interview aired Wednesday on CNN, President Obama described how he thinks people may view him differently than other presidents because of his race.

"I think there’s a reason attitudes about my presidency among whites in northern states are very different from whites in southern states," Obama told CNN’s Fareed Zakaria.
