Democrat Latino, Black, Asian American Legislators Vow to Fight ‘Together’ Against Trump
NBC News ^ | April 26, 2017 | by PATRICIA GUADALUPE

Posted on 04/26/2017 11:53:02 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

Latino, African American and Asian American Democratic members of Congress said on Wednesday they plan to "fight together" against Trump administration policies that impact their communities.

The chairs of the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus (CAPAC), Congressional Black Caucus (CBC), and Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) — collectively known as the Tri-Caucus — met Wednesday on Capitol Hill with the five Democratic senators of color as part of a strategy to bring Democratic minority legislators together as a bloc. They said this was an effective way to push back against any Trump administration policies or GOP proposals they consider detrimental to the Asian American, Black, and Hispanic communities.

All together there are 127 voting members in the Tri-Caucus.

First on their radar screen are the current budget negotiations and the looming possibility of a government shutdown, should no agreement be reached by Friday. The legislators said they intend to make their voices heard on that issue and beyond.

If they were FOR anything they they can admit too, they could probably negotiate with Trump and help their districts.

They can’t admit to being for “free stuff”, radical Islam, benefits for illegals, crime, and a host of other things they want and those don’t help their districts.

You can go back to bed, now.

they’d rather have a welfare check for their constituents than a job.

Exactly. I’m going to start a new Caucus — the Born in October Caucus and all those Congressmen born in October can join. It’s gonna be so significant!

Last I heard, members of these separatists groups each get an extra ten thousand tax dollars....to do with as they please.

What!? It's absolutely outrageous!

There will be soon. What form it will take is not clear yet. We now have a large block of Congresspersons organized along explicit racial lines against whites.

“The chairs of the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus (CAPAC), Congressional Black Caucus (CBC), and Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) — collectively known as the Tri-Caucus — met Wednesday on Capitol Hill with the five Democratic senators of color as part of a strategy to bring Democratic minority legislators together as a bloc. They said this was an effective way to push back against any Trump administration policies or GOP proposals they consider detrimental to the Asian American, Black, and Hispanic communities.

All together there are 127 voting members in the Tri-Caucus.”

Younger white Americans are not going to accept being the only group not organized racially. They won’t care what old boomers say. Don’t underestimate the degree that the ethnic nationalism wave sweeping across Europe is having an influence on young European Americans.

We now have a bloc of 127 Congresspersons organized along explicit racial lines against whites ....to push back against Trump admin policies or GOP proposals they consider detrimental to the Asian American, Black, and Hispanic communities.

These non-whites are utilizing our tax dollars to wage war against American citizens. The secret collusive nature of these plots is alarming.

Americans may be dealing w/ organized crime in our own Congress.

It is possible that this cabal on Capitol Hill committed federal offenses including but not limited to:

<><> Title 18 U.S.C. §1341, Mail Fraud, 18 U.S.C.§1001, Presenting a False Document to an Agent of the US Government (involves several felonies and could include forgery);

<><> 18 U.S.C.§1027 False statements and concealment of facts in relation to documents required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and other possible offenses including civiland/or criminal RICO violations.

<><> 18 U.S.C. §§1961-68 (RICO Act)18 U.S.C. §1001 (making false Statements to Agents of the US Government),

<><> 18 U.S.C. §241(Conspiracies Against Civil Rights).

<><> Possibly full investigations centering on RICO conspiracies under 18 U.S.C. §1962(c) could be warranted because (1) the persons (2) were employed by or associated with an enterprise (3) that engaged in or affected interstate commerce and that (4) the persons operated or managed the enterprise (5) through a "pattern" (6) of racketeering activity, and (7) the taxpayers were injured by reason of the "pattern" of racketeering activity.

<><> Alleged Offenses could include Violation of Title 18 U.S.C. §241 – Conspiracy Against Constitutional Rights – which prohibits in relevant part, “two or more persons (from conspiring) to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same . . .” See, 18 U.S.C. §241.

Taxpayers demand investigation by the following agencies commence at once:

<><> FBI -- Wire Fraud Division

<><> IRS-Fraud Unit

<><> Department of Justice’s Office of the Inspector General,

<><> Department of Commerce’s Office of Inspector General.

<><> DOJ's Criminal Division-- Public Integrity Section

<><> DOJ Criminal Division--Organized Crime and Gang Section.

<><>Internal Revenue Service's Criminal Investigation Division

No, duh.
Who’d a thunk it?
They have been corrupt to the core for many years.
You can put the mainstream media in the same bucket.

All true, but this just surfaced: .......a bloc of 127 Congresspersons organized along explicit racial lines against whites ....to push back against Trump admin policies or GOP proposals they consider detrimental to the Asian American, Black, and Hispanic communities.

These various cauci serve as shadow subversives promoting the anarchists. From Ferguson, MO to La Raza in Kaulifornia, they serve no pro-American purpose.

Republicans and conservatives are too prissy to organize a good facial.

Young Republican Americans of all stripes need to be organized, but we’re too damn lazy to fight. We’re maxed out if something calls for more than turning a lever on a voting machine.
