Lee talks with Andy Bichlbaum, one half of the Yes Men
a creative activist duo that pulls political pranks.
Their most recent was at Politicon
where Bichlbaum poses as a DNC "vice chair of civic engagement"
claiming the DNC will urge their party to sever ties with the donor class
and work toward causes their constituents actually champion
like single payer health care and ending private prisons.
Jokes aside, Bichlbaum tells Lee there is a big problem with money in politics
in that the politicians who accept corporate cash
weigh the opinions of their donors more than the constituents
leaving important issues, such as free college tuition, by the wayside.
While Bichlbaum doesn't see much shift beyond the two major parties :smile:
he does see a glimmer of hope for progressive politics
as smaller races are being won by progressive candidates across the U.S.

California congressman, Rep. Dana Rohrabacher chairs
a House subcommittee on Eurasia policy
and spent three hours at the Ecuadorian embassy in London
with Wikileaks founder Julian Assange
after which he commented :smile:
“Our three-hour meeting covered a wide array of issues,
including the WikiLeaks exposure of the DNC emails
during last year's presidential election
Julian emphatically stated
that the Russians were not involved in the hacking
or disclosure of those emails.
 Julian also indicated that he is open to further discussions
regarding specific information about the DNC email incident
that is currently unknown to the public” he added.​

Aside from a request asking to allow Wikileaks to obtain White House press credentials
Assange also gave Rohrabacher information
to be given directly to President Trump.

Steve Bannon is out of the White House
and back at Breitbart
because he clashes with the administrations' total neglect
of campaign promises to end our endless wars.
This doesn't mean I don't disagree with 95% of Bannon's ideology
but the it's the non-interventionist 5% responsible for his exit.

Plus, many of the Dems in power cheering for Bannon's exit, are pretending
to be on our side, while they actively fuel systemic white supremacy
through mass incarceration and war.
Both parties in power seem to believe our country has the supreme right :smile:
to decide what other countries do, and to punish if they don't comply.
Both parties are decidedly racist in their policies;
and the Dems, with such neoliberal economics, have literally nothing
to offer their people except scapegoating Russia, or the Neo Nazis.
Trump too, is not offering any political programs or solutions
to help his economically struggling base, so he scapegoats immigrants.
Meanwhile, money continues to pour into the military industrial complex.
