Cory Booker was one of 13 Democrats who voted against the drug bill that would have made drugs cheaper in the United States by allowing purchases from Canadian pharmacies. Booker had received more money from “Big Pharma” over the previous six years than any other Democratic senator. So much for advocating for the working class when big money is involved — the hypocrisy is typical of Washington politics and the Democratic Party in general.
Consider that Mr. Motz declares that Trump is “a guy who will stop at nothing to win reelection” but apparently has completely forgotten that Hillary and the DNC paid a couple of million dollars for the now-debunked Steele dossier that led to the FISA warrants to spy on Trump. All this while Obama was the man behind the curtain, pulling the levers that juiced the FBI investigation and gave us such notable spooks as Peter Strzok, Lisa Paige, Andrew McCabe, John Brennan and James Comey, all caught lying to Congress or spreading news leaks and presently under investigation or have been by the inspector general.
Consider the latest media grab at headlines with the whistleblower brouhaha. Trump spoke to the new Ukrainian president about renewing their investigation into Hunter Biden’s employment with natural gas firm Burisma Holdings, which was being investigated in a wide-ranging corruption probe in 2014. This is not news to people who follow politics from sources outside the MSM, but now you would think Trump invented the probe.
Last year, with cameras rolling, Joe Biden brags at a Council of Foreign Relations event that he strong-armed the Ukrainian president, Petro Poroshenko, to immediately fire Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin, or the Obama administration would cancel $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees.
Papa Joe forgot to mention that his son was part of that investigation.
This, of course, does not fit into the two-tiered justice system that Democrats support. Hillary destroys over 33,000 emails and “bleaches” her hard drive, while the DNC destroys their own computers and hard drives — hey, nothing to see here, move along. Thank you, Strzok, McCabe and Comey, for your diligence and commitment to justice. The Clinton Foundation closes shop one month after her election loss, because her value in their pay-to-play scheme instantly turned to zero overnight, and their interest in philanthropy disappeared with it.
You just can’t make this stuff up!
