Walker$ Wretched Wynn Wad of Dirty Money

By Jeff Simpson




 Trump attorney Michael Cohen, who serves as deputy chairman of the RNC's finance committee, told NBC News: "Steve [Wynn] is a truly great man who has been the driving force behind the RNC finance committee."
While the faux outrage of the Wisconsin right wing echo chamber was all up in arms over Actress Chelsea Handler's tweet about Lindsay Graham, they have been predictably silent over the disgusting revelations about Steve Wynn, the finance chairman of Republican National Committee. Apparently, mediatrackers, is not tracking much of the media these days! 

Since the "watchdogs" are neutered whenever it comes to Scott Walker, it is up to us to get answers. 
If Democrats had a Harvey Weinstein problem last fall, Republicans almost certainly have a Steve Wynn problem right now. On Friday, the Las Vegas casino mogul and Republican National Committee finance chair was accused of of decades of sexual misconduct with his employees after the Wall Street Journal interviewed 150 current and former employees. He’s also given millions of dollars to the GOP.
The Journal’s story said that Wynn, who turned 76 on Saturday, allegedly harassed or abused multiple women who worked for him over the years; the paper’s reporters uncovered a $7.5 million settlement Wynn paid to a manicurist he coerced into having intercourse with him in 2005. 
Want to see where we are as a Nation:

RealDonaldTrump liked this tweet:


The Wall Street JournalVerified account @WSJSteve Wynn, one of the most powerful men in Las Vegas, pressured employees to perform sex acts, according to people interviewed by the Journal.
Want to see where we are as a State:
As the DNC so correctly pointed out:
“The RNC and Ronna McDaniel have helped fund the campaign of an alleged child molester, blindly supported the GOP’s attacks on women’s health, supported a President who has been accused of sexual misconduct by over a dozen women,” Sabrina Singh, the DNC’s deputy communications director, said in a statement, “and now they remain silent amid sexual assault allegations involving Steve Wynn, one of their party’s most senior officials.”
Now we can expect complete silence from Scott Walker on the thousands he collected in Las Vegas (PS: notice the date is a Thursday afternoon, not sure that Scott Walker ever actually works in WI). 
However we as his constituents can DEMAND more!  Let's contact the Governor and tell him we expect him to give the dirty Wynn money to a charity that helps abused women. 

I recommend DAIS, but there are many ways to help victims of sexual abuse.   

The first step is to contact the Governor and tell him to give the wretched wynn money back and stand up for women!

Reince's Resume

Two years ago, in the 2010 national elections, the republican party won EVERYTHING.  They took over the House of Representatives, and numerous state houses and could legitimately be argued it was the greatest year for republican's electorally ever.   Republican National Committee chair, Michael Steele, who oversaw that election, was rewarded for the victory by being stabbed in the back by his friend Reince Priebus.  Priebus instigated a Coup and kicked Steele out and took over the party himself! 

It has been two years and now its time for Reince Priebus's review.  We can look back at of his accomplishments and see how they translated electorally.   In charge of his review is Rachel Maddow, let's let her run down Reince's resume:


This really is what cognitive dissonance looks like.  Rachel Maddow puts it all together in 3 minutes.  Nails it.  This is that moment when you realize just how much stuff conservatives have come to believe that has no attachment to reality whatsoever.  From the video:
“Ohio did go to Obama last night.  And he really did win.  And he really was born in Hawaii, and he really is legitimately President of the United States, again, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics did not make up a fake unemployment rate last month, and the Congressional Research Service really can find no evidence that cutting taxes on rich people grows the economy, and the polls were not screwed to oversample Democrats, and Nate Silver was not making up fake projections about the election to make conservatives feel bad, Nate Silver was doing math, and climate change is real, and rape really does cause pregnancy sometimes, and evolution is a thing, and Benghazi was an attack on us, it was not a scandal by us, and nobody is taking away anyone’s guns, and taxes have not gone up, and the deficit is dropping, actually, and Saddam Hussein did not have weapons of mass destruction, and the moon landing was real, and FEMA is not building concentration camps, and you UN election observers are not taking over Texas, and moderate reforms of the regulations on the insurance industry and the financial services industry in this country are not the same thing as communism.”
  Keep up the good work Reince, the Democratic party appreciates all of your hard work!

DNC Night 1

Last week we had the Republican National Convention in Tampa FL. The first night had to be postponed due to inclement weather(that had absolutely nothing to do with global climate change).

They had to push their key not speaker, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, back a day. Then he gave what was a very good speech at throwing red meat to the animals,but after further review you realized he gave a speech full of untruths and spent ALOT of time talking about his favorite subject:  Chris Christie! 

At least he was not distracted during this speech!



This week we have th Democratic National Convention from NC, and it started out with a bang!  While many of the speeches were great, the one that stood out to me was San Antonio, Texas Mayor Julian Castro.   This was the best speech, I have heard since a Senator from Illinois gave the keynote address at the 2004 Democratic Convention!  





There is a definite difference between the two parties!!!
