— Governor Rod Blagojevich on trying to sell Obama’s Senate seat
Ex-Illinois Democrat Governor, Rod Blagojevich, nicknamed “Blago,” had his sentence commuted by President Trump, freeing him from a 14-year term imposed in a dubious case. Trump got to know Blagojevich in show business and, I presume, as co-plaintiffs in a class-action lawsuit against their hair dye company. Of course, the leftist press is worked up about the Trump commutations/pardons. Keep in mind Trump has only pardoned or commuted the sentences of 35 people, compared to Obama’s 1,927 and “Dubya” Bush’s 200. The way this Deep State attempted coup is turning out, Trump may have a chance to pardon some of Obama’s crew.
Blago, who looked like a SuperCuts “before” picture, also did Elvis impersonations, which led to even more gravitas in his Chicago-based political career. He got in trouble for putting Obama’s Senate seat up for auction on E-Bay. The ad said that, since Obama seldom voted, his Senate seat was barely used.
Apparently, the law says that politicians can sell out their own position to anyone but cannot sell someone else’s. The judge sentenced Blago to 14 years and his barber got life.
In Blago’s corruption trial the Chicago jury was deadlocked on whether or not to convict him. Obviously, a “jury of his peers,” the same people who elected him, was needed. The governor was well represented on the jury. They sounded pretty smart; when they could not decide the verdict, the male jurors wanted the judge to call them a hung jury. When the judge finally acquiesced and called them a hung jury, the men giggled and responded, “Thank you, Judge.”
Eventually, and because our system likes to make examples out of public figures so the prosecutors in the case can get on TV, the judge got them to convict Blago.
You have to wonder why, in a state like Illinois and in particular the city of Chicago, such a Democrat utopia has such corruption problems. Sadly, this shameful event did nothing to tarnish the image of Chicago politicians. When the verdict was read, one million Chicago voters turned over in their graves.
Apparently, most people pretty much expected it. Three former Illinois governors have gone to jail; Blago was just carrying on the tradition. This case points to the fundamental difference between the South and the Midwest. The South’s prisons are full due to meth. Illinois’ jails are overcrowded due to governors. It is the only state where you can get your car tag made by one of the past governors.
A prison sentence of 14 years did seem harsh for a non-violent crime. Blago was not a risk to harm anyone. He’s from Chicago, the Democrat stronghold where crime is the favorite pastime. Gang-bangers do not get that much time for murder. Illinois, and Chicago in particular, have strong anti-gun laws, yet they lead the nation in shootings. It is like an abstinence-only school leading the country in pregnancies. The school buses and Nike delivery trucks in Chicago are required to have a tail gunner. On the bright side, February was so cold there that 28 murders had to be delayed.
Blago, the bombastic showman, once said that “he was blacker than Obama.” Really? He is not even blacker than Jussie Smollett. And he has not committed a Chicago crime nearly as egregious.
This is the city where the Coronavirus patient was. He came in complaining of shooting pains in his lungs. After he was tested, he was found to have the Coronavirus and had also been shot in the lungs.
Blago is ecstatic with his commutation and praises Trump. He calls himself a Democrat converted to Trump, a “Trump-o-crat.” We live in a crazy time. Bloomberg made his fortune as a Republican and is now rich enough to run as a Democrat. Bernie Sanders (who famously honeymooned in Russia) is a socialist running as a Democrat.

thedailycaller--2020-02-24--Is The Corbynization Of The Democratic Party Complete?

For decades , the Democratic Party has drawn comparisons to the Labour Party in the U.K. , but the two parties have never been more alike than they are now .
Since 2015 , socialist Member of Parliament ( MP ) Jeremy Corbyn has led the Labour Party , while the current front-runner for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination is Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont .
Corbyn ’ s Labour Party was resoundingly defeated in Britain earlier this year , and there is palpable concern among some liberals that Democrats could be headed in the same direction .
Sanders solidified @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with a resounding victory in the Nevada Caucuses Saturday .
Sanders ’ s success appears to have at least parts of the Democratic Party and media petrified .
( RELATED : ‘ Looking Down At People ’ : Longtime Democratic Strategist Issues Warning To His Party ) MSNBC host Chris Matthews compared Sanders ’ Nevada victory to Nazi ’ s victory over France in World War II .
Long-time Democratic strategist James Carville directly compared Sanders to Corbyn and openly worried about Democrats going the way of the Labour Party .
Sanders ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hours that have followed his Nevada win have arguably served to validate his party ’ s concerns about his judgement , and thus electability .
Sanders once again offered praise Sunday for the late Cuban dictator Fidel Castro during a “ 60 Minutes ” interview .
While Sanders condemned Castro ’ s authoritarianism , he praised Castro for implementing a “ massive literacy program ” on the island nation .
Sanders ’ comments were swiftly condemned by Florida Democrats , including Rep. Donna Shalala who ripped Sanders for praising a “ murderous tyrant @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , who urged former Vice President Joe Biden to “ come to the rescue ” and “ save America ” from President Donald Trump .
Like Corbyn , Sanders has a lengthy history of supporting violent communist regimes , including the Soviet Union , and the Sandinistas in Nicaragua .
One of Sanders ’ s top aides , David Sirota , wrote a column for the liberal website Salon in 2013 touting the “ economic miracle ” in Venezuela , shortly after the death of communist dictator Hugo Chavez .
But , if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ kowtowing to left-wing dictators , it will also likely involve the cooling of relationships between the U.S. and liberal allies such as Israel .
( RELATED : REPORT : Bernie Sanders Was Investigated By FBI For Marxist Ties ) Before his 60 Minutes interview aired Sunday evening , Sanders announced on Twitter that he would not be attending the annual American Israel Public Affairs Committee ( AIPAC ) conference .
Sanders has never attended AIPAC ’ s conference , but went out of his way this year to take some jabs at the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ I think what it is is the party is a lot more comfortable expressing some long-held anti-Israel attitudes , ” Neil Strauss of the Republican Jewish Coalition told the Daily Caller .
Much like Corbyn has been dogged by allegations of anti-Semitism in the U.K. , Sanders ’ campaign has also been accused of mainstreaming anti-Semitism in the U.S. Sanders has trotted out Democratic Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib as campaign surrogates , both of whom have advocated for boycotts against Israeli businesses .
Sanders has also campaigned with Palestinian activist @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Sharia Law , and stated that Israel is “ built on the idea that Jews are supreme to everybody else , ” comparing supporters of the Jewish state to white supremacists .
Yet , Sanders has repeatedly touted Sarsour ’ s support on the campaign trail .
“ That ’ s where he is .
That ’ s who he is , ” Strauss told the caller .
“ She ’ s probably actually a pretty good surrogate for him given his beliefs.
” Sanders is perhaps Israel ’ s harshest critic in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to be a supporter of the Jewish state , and has criticized the Boycott , Divestment , and Sanctions ( BDS ) movement that many of his surrogates support .
Nevertheless , it ’ s not unreasonable to expect that anti-Israel activists who have found a home in Sanders ’ campaign would also find a home in his White House .
That Sanders felt the need to make a statement condemning an organization like AIPAC , whose board is dominated by Democrats , only confirms this .
( RELATED : Anti-Israel Boycott Movement @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The Democratic Party ) “ The thing that seems to bind all Justice Democrats together is their anti-Israel views , ” Strauss said .
Sanders was the inspiration behind the Justice Democrats organization , which has sent several far-left icons to Congress , including Omar , Tlaib , and Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez .
The group was founded in the aftermath of the 2016 election , and advocates many policies that Sanders entered into the apparent mainstream with his campaign that year , including tuition-free public colleges , universal healthcare , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , not all Democrats are willing to concede their party to the far-left .
( RELATED : Lindsey Graham Defends Trump , Calls Ocasio-Cortez And Co. ‘ A Bunch Of Communists ’ ) “ I think what we have is a very vocal minority of the party , ” long-time Democratic Strategist Robert Patillo told the Daily Caller about Sanders and his supporters .
“ The nation as a whole has moved left , ” Patillo continued .
“ But , most of the party still believes in self-determination and a strong work @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a centrist party.
” Sanders has earned roughly 40 delegates so far , and needs 1,991 to win the nomination .
Democrats hoping to avoid having a socialist lead its ticket in November still have time to find an alternative , but it ’ s getting late .
Sanders ’ nomination seem inevitable , because his ideas have already taken over the party .

For decades, the Democratic Party has drawn comparisons to the Labour Party in the U.K., but the two parties have never been more alike than they are now.
