Trump crosses the line

WHY would someone running for president as a non lefty
parrot a longtime, easily recognizable leftwing mantra?

Code Pink is no "fringe" organization.

It is an agent of the Obama White House.

Code Pink was on the ground in Egypt, along with Bill Ayers, setting things up a year before the 'Arab spring.'

It meets repeatedly and publicly with Obama at the White House.

It was used by Obama/Jarrett to help engineer the "flotilla" against Israel.

It is used by Obama/Jarrett as an intermediary to communicate from the Obama White House to HAMAS.

It was all wrapped in the Occupy movement.

It is a big pusher of abortion.

People want to forget this,but Bush didnâ€™t do much of a job caring for our military and vets. Over use of the guard was bad enough...does anyone remember how bad the facilities at forts were when they came home?

Code Pink, a Group Tied to Obama & Dems Attends Iranian Gov’t Anti-U.S.-Israel Conference

http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2014/10/code-pink-a-group-tied-to-obama-dems-attends-iranian-govt-anti-u-s-israel-conference/

It’s been a busy week for the Islamist terrorist support group Code Pink. Last weekend the group was honored by CAIR (an unindicted co-conspirator for supporting Islamist terrorist groups), a few days later Code Pink popped up in Iran being feted (yet again) by the Islamist state sponsor of terrorism, Iran.

Susan “Medea” Benjamin, a co-founder of Code Pink, was in Iran this week participating in an Iranian government conference whose “goal is to unveil the secrets behind the dominance of the Zionist lobby over US and EU politics.” The Iranian government invited a rogue’s gallery of anti-American, anti-Israel agitators and conspiracy theorists to attend the 2nd New Horizon Conference being held in Tehran including Benjamin whose group has direct ties to President Barack Obama and top Democratic Party leaders.

The conference opened with a senior Iranian government official spouting anti-Israel, anti-U.S. conspiracies:

“The conference was opened with remarks by the personal advisor to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Mohsen Ghomi, who boasted that the conference itself is “the biggest threat to Zionists,” and that “American officials are puppets of the Zionist lobby who are taking advantage of American ignorance.””

The Iranian government propaganda outfit Press TV described the conference agenda:

“The Islamic Awakening movement, the role of Zionist lobbies in the European and US crises, introducing international anti-Zionist and anti-imperialist figures, and Islamic resistance against the Zionist regime are some of the topics of the conference.”

Buzzfeed’s Rosie Gray reported on some of the Western participants at the conference:

“Code Pink chief Medea Benjamin, journalist and former Cambodian genocide denier Gareth Porter, conspiracy journalist and 9/11 truther Wayne Madsen, and PressTV contributor Kevin Barrett are all reportedly at the conference. So is DieudonnÃ© M’bala M’bala, the anti-Semitic French comedian whose performances have been banned in several French jurisdictions, several Holocaust deniers, and former congressman Mark Siljander, who pleaded guilty in 2010 to being an unregistered foreign agent for an Islamic charity that the government said was connected to terrorism.”

While the media hides Code Pink’s links to the top echelons of the Democratic Party the facts are Code Pink has direct ties to President Obama, including fundraising, and has acted as a messenger between terrorists and Obama.

In the past year Code Pink has met with top Obama aide Valerie Jarrett and Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson. In previous years Code Pink has visited the White House and coordinated protests activities with the Obama administration.

Benjamin and Evans have each served on the board of Progressive Democrats of America alongside several prominent Democratic members of Congress.

Code Pink has raised money for al Qaeda family members in Yemen; fundraised to overthrow the Egyptian government while working with the Muslim Brotherhood; and delivered $600,000 in cash and humanitarian aid to “the other side” in Fallujah, Iraq in late 2004.

In September 2008, Iran’s then President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad met with Code Pink in New York City and invited the group to visit Iran as his guest. Following Obama’s election in November Evans and Benjamin visited Iran.

Code Pink has maintained good relations with the Iranian regime. The group’s members are regular guests on Press TV. Benjamin did an interview with Press TV at the conference. Benjamin did not wear her vagina costume in Iran—she was properly covered up like a good dhimmi.

In the interview, Benjamin blamed the United States for protecting Israel from prosecution in the International Criminal Court for alleged war crimes against Gazans.

The Free Beacon reported State Department spokesman Jen Psaki said she was clueless about the conference, which was also reportedly attended by Iranian nuclear negotiators.

“”I have not seen reports of this conference. Where is the conference?” Psaki asked the reporter.”

The Free Beacon article quoted Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Illinois) on the conference.

“”The so-called ‘New Horizon’ conference in Tehran proves why the current Iranian regime under President Hassan Rouhani is, at its core, no less extremist and dangerous than the regime under Mahmoud Ahmadinejad,” Sen. Mark Kirk (R., Ill.) said in a statement.

“”The conference’s participants promoted anti-Americanism, anti-Semitism, and Holocaust denial, and were even greeted on day one by high-ranking Iranian cleric Mohsen Ghomi, a close adviser to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who falsely alleged that ‘American officials are puppets of the Zionist lobby,’” Kirk said.

“”It’s critical that U.S. administration officials, who are desperately offering ever more dangerous nuclear concessions to get Iran to accept a watered-down nuclear deal, open their eyes to the true nature of the current Iranian regime,” he said.”

Anyone want to bet Valerie Jarrett didn’t know about this conference?

Why is CODEPINK part of the Occupy Movement?

Posted by CODEPINK Staff
http://www.codepink.org/why_is_codepink_part_of_the_occupy_movement

“Someday the workers will take possession of your city hall, and when we do, no child will be sacrificed on the altar of profit!” - Mary Harris “Mother” Jones

Since the start of the Occupy Wall Street movement, CODEPINK activists have joined the frontlines of the non-violent occupy movement across the country. Whether we’re marching for Healthcare not Warfare, leading a teach-in on the cost of war, or helping to create safe spaces for women’s participation, our fabulous PINK team has been at the heart of this beautiful, burgeoning movement.

Why?

...because war profiteers make up the top 0.01% of the 1% who control the country’s wealth, profiting from suffering and corrupting Congress at a rate that exceeds that of even the biggest banks.

....because we must reclaim our democracy from the richest 1%. Until we do, special interest lobby groups, including those that helped drive the US to war, such as big oil and AIPAC, have disproportionate power over voters.

.... because we are American taxpayers who are fed up with paying 59% of our discretionary tax dollars to the bloated Pentagon budget while many of us suffer unemployment, underemployment, lack of access to college, and see our communities crumbling from lack of funding.

.... because real change begins with direct action to challenge corporate greed and endless war.

.... because women and people of color make up the poorest of the 99% who are hardest hit by our militarized economy and the destruction of infrastructure, families, and communities by wars at home and abroad.

... because women and marginalized communities’ participation in decision-making is as imperative in resolving economic injustice as it is in resolving armed conflict.

.... to ensure that the contributions of 1/2 of the 99% to creating a better and more peaceful world are equally valued.

.... because the mission and vision of the occupy movement is in alignment with the change we have been working for during the past eight years - to redirect our country’s precious resources away from war, occupation and corporate greed and into health care, education, green jobs and other life-affirming activities.

This is a people-powered movement led by everyone who shows up and lends a hand. It is not funded or directed by non-profits or institutions. We support this populist way of organizing and stand in solidarity with all roseroots activists taking part in this blossoming new movement. This is a leader full movement. We are all leaders, join us.

Black Lives Matter! Ferguson Weekend of Resistance!

http://www.codepink.org/black_lives_matter

Sign our Revolutionary Youth Manifesto!

DearActivist,

Last weekend, #FergusonOctober Weekend of Resistance brought together activists from across the country who took to the streets of Ferguson day and night in anger, frustration, rebellion, and solidarity. CODEPINK joined marches, a women’s gathering, faith-based civil disobedienc eat the police station, a sit-in at the University of St. Louis,banner dropsat the City Hall, and so much more. It was all the more poignant when just a day before the two-month anniversary of Michael Brown’s murder, the life of another black teen was taken by St. Louis area law enforcement. Check out some of our picturesfrom the weekend.

At CODEPINK we are committed to supporting the organizations already doing this important work, and we’re excited to soon kick off our campaign to help local communities demilitarize their police. Through ourCommunities Organizing to Demilitarize Enforcement (CODE) campaign, we will support efforts such as local resolutions and national mobilizations to remove/or keep the weapons of war out of their towns and cities. If you want to be a part of this movement, contact Nathan at Nathan@codepink.org.

Militarized police departments have been a problem for a long time, and the terrible tragedy of Mike Brown’s death and the subsequent uprising reminds us that it is more important than ever that we take action before another life is taken because of police brutality.

There was one especially powerful moment from the Weekend of Resistance we would like to share.At an interfaith event, the youth who had been fired up and in the streets for 64 days spoke out during one of the speeches at the event to make it clear theycouldn’t take it any more.What they couldn’t take was the endless speeches without action, the calls for healing without justice. The youth of Ferguson rose up, made their voices heard loud and clear.They are the leaders of this movement.

The youth of our nation, and our world, are speaking. Taking the reins and the leadership. Making the connections between the need to end the racist wars on our communities here at home and the wars on others abroad. Taking radical action for radical change.If you’re a young person who believes there’s no future in war, read and sign our revolutionary Youth Manifesto and share it with your friends.If you want to mobilize young people in your community or on your campus, let us know.We’re with you.

In solidarity,
Alli, Anastasia, Anna, Jodie, Janet, Jes, Kristin, Medea, Nathan, Nancy, Polly, Sergei, Sophia, and Tighe

Code Pink praises Donald Trump after debate

http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/269472-code-pink-praises-donald-trump

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is being praised by Code Pink, a group that has protested the Iraq War.

Trump garnered support from Code Pink dduring the GOP debate Saturday night when he called the Iraq War a mistake and accused the George W. Bush administration of lying before the invasion.

Code Pink also wants Israel wiped out.

Code Pink played a part in setting up the Obama/muslim brotherhood attempt to take over Egypt.

Code Pink is a big HAMAS supporter and was part of the 'flotilla' that tried to undermine Israel.

Code Pink was a big pusher of Obama's enabling Iran to get the bomb and $150 million from the US.

First of all n00b, put away that broad brush.

While it is true that Code Pink praised Trump's position on the Iraq War, that does not equate to Trump endorsing, supporting or in any way aligning himself with any of their OTHER positions.

You're only half clever. You think that by waving that Code Pink banner around, that you will somehow be able to 'smear by association'. Doesn't work that way pal.

Trump has no control over who does, or does not agree with him, nor does any other candidate for office. You have erected a straw man, and whatever argument you are trying to make, it does not hold water.

The fact is, the majority of the American people agree that the Iraq War was a mistake. The chaos that now exists in the vacuum created by the overthrow of Saddam is proof enough that it was a mistake, NOT because it wasn't a good idea to get rid of Saddam Hussein, but because the post-liberation follow up in Iraq was totally screwed up by the Bush Administration. It's as simple as that.

What you apparently have difficulty with, is comprehending that many different groups from one end of the political spectrum to the other, may agree when it is clear that those who support a position (in this instance the Iraq War) are defending something that is indefensible.

Code Pink's positions on Israel, Hamas, Muslim Brotherhood or Iran are totally irrelevant when it comes to THIS topic which YOU have raised, which is the topic of the Iraq War.

For the record, I think getting rid of Saddam wasn't a bad idea IF Bush had more effectively planned for an extended U.S. occupation in the post-Saddam period. He did not. He screwed the pooch. And because he did not nail down an iron clad agreement with the Iraqi government for a long term presence of U.S. troops (as we did in Japan after World War II), that opened the door for Obama to finish screwing up what GWB completely mismanaged.

Because Bush failed to plan for and take action to assure that a stable Iraq would not only emerge but ENDURE, the thousands of U.S. troops who gave their lives and the thousands more who were wounded, did so for absolutely NOTHING, nothing except the incompetence of the Bush Administration who certainly knew how to go in and win a war and overthrow a dictator, but they didn't know how to secure the peace and instead pissed away the lives and well being of our troops and their families as well.

Your 'Code Pink' jihad is intellectually dishonest, it is an absurd attempt to try and associate their positions which have NOTHING to do with Iraq, with Donald Trump.

Your persistent attempts to validate your claims fail on every count.

The GOP crossed the line when they allowed the Usurper to be illegally installed into office. Now they are trying to install two illegal candidates (Rubio & Cruz) of their own. They are a criminal organization and Donald Trump is their Judge, Jury and Sentence.

Guilty!

Can you please correct your typo? I’m not sure what you’re saying.

But he’s not GOPe...if he was why did Boehner and McConnell despise him? Along with all those wanting the gang of 8 bill to pass?

That’s your opinion.

Code Pink is a vile, extreme lefty cesspool that works to destroy the US.

Trump parroted their longtime mantra.

That has a BAD odor to some of us who have familiarity with the longtime history of the left.

Trump’s comments on Planned Parenthood are also less than I would expect from a strong non lefty.

HERE is another area where I was not thrilled with Trump’s comments

Antonin Scalia vs. Donald Trump: Why Scalia rejected Trump-style eminent domain abuse.

Reason ^ | 02/15/2016 | Damon Root

Posted on 2/15/2016, 8:20:59 PM by SeekAndFind

Antonin Scalia, the conservative legal giant who died on Saturday at age 79, will be remembered for his outspoken views on legal issues ranging from abortion to gun control.
Scalia’s fierce opposition to eminent domain abuse is also worth remembering.

In 2005 the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Kelo v. City of New London. At issue was that Connecticut municipality’s desire to bulldoze a working-class neighborhood and hand the razed land over to a private developer working in cahoots with the Pfizer corporation. The idea underlying the city’s scheme was that if people were forced out of their homes, their vacant properties could be put to more profitable purposes, thereby swelling the city’s tax coffers.

The problem with this approach is that it violates the original meaning of the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which says that the government may only take private property for a public use (and it must pay just compensation when it does). Taking property from one private party and handing it over to another private party, by contrast, is plainly inconsistent with all traditional notions of public use, a reality the Supreme Court itself acknowledged back in 1954, when it upheld an eminent domain “urban renewal” taking on the grounds that it served a “public purpose,” a far more permissive, and therefore government friendly, concept than public use.

During the February 2005 oral argument in the Kelo case, the lawyer for New London urged the justices to give government officials the broadest leeway possible in eminent domain disputes.

But Justice Scalia was not feeling so generous. Under your theory, Scalia asked the lawyer, “you could take [private property] from A and give it to B if B is richer, and would pay higher municipal taxes, couldn’t you?”

“Yes, Your Honor,” the lawyer conceded.

“For example,” interjected Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, “Motel 6 and the city thinks, well, if we had a Ritz-Carlton, we would have higher taxes. Now, is that okay?”

“Yes, Your Honor, that would be okay,” the lawyer conceded again. In other words, because private property can almost always be put to a more profitable purpose, the government can effectively take any private property it wants for any “development” scheme it happens to cook up. So much for the text of the Fifth Amendment.

In the end, of course, Scalia and O’Connor were outvoted. Liberal Justice John Paul Stevens, joined by Justices Anthony Kennedy, David Souter, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and Stephen Breyer, gave the government all the leeway it needed to kick people out of their homes and wipe their neighborhoods off the map. “The disposition of this case,” Stevens announced, “turns on the question of whether the City’s development plan serves a ‘public purpose.’ Without exception, our cases have defined that concept broadly, reflecting our longstanding policy of deference to legislative judgments in this field.”

The Kelo case has been in the news again recently thanks to the presidential campaign of Republican Donald Trump. In Trump’s oft-stated view, Kelo is a “wonderful” decision that should be respected and emulated. Trump is also known for trying to personally profit from Kelo-style land grab.

Trump’s position is of course totally anathema to the position of Justice Scalia, who once went so far as to compare Kelo to Dred Scott. Perhaps when the next Republican presidential debate rolls around, one of the moderators will consider asking Trump why it is that he prefers the legal views of John Paul Stevens over those of Antonin Scalia on this matter.

So you think Trump wants Israel destroyed, to help set up the Muslim brotherhood and support Hamas?

So am I.

So am I (sick of republicans)

Thank you for telling me what I think.

As far as your attempt at mind reading, I suggest you keep your day job.

Yeah weas just love them darling democRats!
