A few years back, former President Jimmy Carter told me that, because of Citizens United and its predecessors (like the Buckley decision in 1976), we’re no longer a democracy, but instead, “an oligarchy, with unlimited political bribery.”

We have to be vigilant about the coming smear project against Antifa.

Why is it that the president and the vast majority of Republican elected officials are refusing to refer to the white Christian neo-nazis who committed mayhem and murder and, yes, terrorism, as exactly what they are? Why the false equivalence suggesting that antifascists and peace protesters are the same as Nazis and Klan members?

The media are engaged in an orgy of navel-gazing about the Donald Trump presidency, but they're totally, utterly, absolutely, no-way-in-hell willing to gaze at their own navel.

The election of 2016 may well have been stolen — or to use Donald Trump's oft-repeated phrase — "rigged," and nobody in the media seems willing to discuss it.
