Politicians Around the US Move to Make Protesting Illegal




Indiana passed a bill on Wednesday that authorizes police officers to shut down highway protesting “by any means necessary.” S.B. 285, as it is known, obliges a public official to dispatch all available officers within 15 minutes of discovering any assembly of 10 or more people who are obstructing vehicle traffic.
The bill then authorizes the responding officers to clear roads “by any means necessary.”

Critics are calling it the “Block Traffic and You Die” bill, an apt name for a bill that has co-opted the phrase “any means necessary,” used famously in speech delivered by Malcolm X during the Civil Rights movement, turning it into a threat against government dissent (with no apparent awareness of the irony).

"Top conservatives gather to plot third-party run against Trump"
The meeting is scheduled for two days after tonight's primaries in what many Republican operatives believe will determine whether Trump is on an unstoppable march to the nomination.

(1) Elect Hillary


"Stopping Trump More Important Than Stopping Hillary [...] Conservatives’ highest priority now must be to prevent Trump from winning the Republican nomination in this, the GOP’s third epochal intraparty struggle in 104 years." -- George Will


"Hillary Clinton has struggled mightily to convince young Democrats to support her in her bid to defeat Bernie Sanders for the Democratic presidential nomination. The socialist senator from Vermont has dominated the under-30 crowd across the country so far in primaries and caucuses.

But those lousy numbers likely won't carry over to the general election if she faces off against Donald Trump. A new poll from USA Today/Rock the Vote shows Clinton crushing Trump by a margin of 52-19 percent among voters under the age of 35." -- motherjones


Anonymous Declares Total War on Donald Trump, Again (2016)

Anonymous, the group known for cyber-attacks on government and corporate websites, has a new target: GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump.



Trump has been targeted because according to the masked activist, "your inconsistent and hateful campaign has not only shocked the United States America, you have shocked the entire planet with your appalling actions and ideas."

The collective has already posted unverified personal information about Trump and staff, including his social security number.



This not the first time the hacktivist group has gone after Trump, according to The Guardian. It reports that at the end of 2015 it shut down his website for Trump Tower in New York City after his call to ban Muslims from entering the U.S.

Marco Rubio Drops Out of Race after Florida loss!

 Marco Rubio is dropping out of the presidential race after losing the Florida primary to Donald Trump and failing to unite the Republican establishment against the billionaire front-runner.

“We live in a republic and our voters make these decisions,” Rubio said in Miami Tuesday night as his supporters booed Trump’s victory.



His speech was a thinly veiled rebuke of Trump’s campaign tactics, as he warned that it would have been easier for him to exploit the anger and anxiety driving the race. He warned that the politics of division were going to leave America a “fractured nation.”

“America is in the middle of a real political storm, a real tsunami and we should have seen this coming,” Rubio said.

“While we are on the right side,” he said,” this year, we will not be on the winning side.”

Donald Trump has filed for bankruptcy four times




telegraph:

Donald Trump is worth some $4bn, according to Forbes, but he has filed for bankruptcy four times – in 1991, 1992, 2004 and 2009. However, they have all been corporate bankruptcies rather than personal ones, meaning his finances have not been significantly affected.


Trump's personal finances did take a hit the first time he filed for corporate bankruptcy after he financed the construction of the Trump Taj Mahal with junk bonds and was unable to pay the high interest.
