THE DAUGHTER OF THE JUDGE IN THE TRUMP CASE WORKED FOR THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN. In an honest judicial system, this judge would recuse himself.
AND THE JUDGE WAS A BIDEN DONOR PER THE FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION. An honest judge would recuse himself, given that the case involves a man who is a political rival of the candidate he helps finance.
TRUMP REFUSED TO DIVIDE THE NATION BY PROSECUTING HILLARY CLINTON, BUT DEMOCRATS THRIVE ON DIVISION.
Balladeer’s Blog launched in 2010, long before there was even a hint of Donald Trump as a presidential candidate, yet I was already, over and over again, making blog post after blog post about how corrupt both major political parties are in the United States.
COUNTLESS times I raised new and old instances demonstrating that the Democrat and Republican parties are nothing but rival gangs of white-collar criminals running the country like a Mafia bust-out scheme. Virtually every member of Congress leaves office having accumulated enormous wealth or obtaining VERY lucrative employment in industries they exercised legislative authority over, giving every appearance of being rewarded for services rendered while in political office.
Even efforts at preventing Insider Trading on the part of members of Congress have been blocked. Both parties have been complicit in too many corrupt practices to list in one article, but many of those practices have been covered here at Balladeer’s Blog since 2010, years before Donald Trump even declared his candidacy in 2015.
Both major political parties and many of their appointees continue to be part of the cesspool of corruption which masquerades as the United States government. As I mentioned countless times from 2010 onward, the only hope would lie in an outsider candidate who was NOT a “made” member of the career politician clique.
In the past several years, despite the never-ending FLOOD of exposed crimes and corruption by other political figures, the ONE figure who has been targeted over and over and constantly lied about has been the outsider Donald Trump. The white-collar criminals of the Democrat and Republican parties – with sadly few exceptions – have participated in playing gatekeepers regarding who may or may not enter “their turf.”
The message from these thugs who hold office has been, and continues to be “If anyone who actually tries to reform the Washington DC sewer ever again dares to take us on, THIS is what we will do to them, their associates and whoever else we decide is in our way.” Continue reading
We need alternate political parties. Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog presents another look at the ugly hoax (or maybe I should say Big Lie) about Trump collusion with Russia. Even some Democrat reporters over the years covered how false that story was (see below). No matter how much I despised George W Bush or Barack Obama, for instance, I wrote multiple blog posts about how ridiculous it was when people claim Bush planned the 9-11 attacks or that Obama was “a Muslim sleeper agent.” 
ROLLING STONE REPORTER MATT TAIBBI, who is very anti-Trump, has once again risen above his own feelings – like reporters are SUPPOSED TO DO – and pointed out that the IG report actually verified the claims made by Congressman Devin Nunes and President Trump himself about the FBI’s political assault on Trump. Taibbi’s Rolling Stone piece shows how damning the IG report was for the FBI, Schiff and the Democrats’ media outlets. “Democrats are not going to want to hear this” are the most appropriate words in his article.
“Horowitz describes at great length an FBI whose “serious” procedural problems and omissions of “significant information” in pursuit of surveillance authority all fell in the direction of expanding the unprecedented investigation of a presidential candidate (later, a president)” (NOTE FROM BALLADEER: The fact that the Democrats are willing to ignore this Gestapo-style approach by the FBI just because they hate the man being investigated shows how low that party has sunk.)
“… The Steele report reads like a pile of rumors surrounded by public information pulled off the Internet, and the Horowitz report does nothing to dispel this notion. At the time the FBI submitted its first FISA application, Horowitz writes, it had “corroborated limited information in Steele’s election reporting, and most of that was publicly available information.”
It’s no secret that America’s career politicians are basically career criminals. White-collar criminals, of course, but career criminals all the same. We need Third Parties. 
In 2016 Balladeer’s Blog pointed out several times that the only hope for the opening steps in recognizing and addressing the rampant corruption in America’s Third World Level thugocracy would be if either Donald Trump or Bernie Sanders miraculously won the Presidency. 
I’ve been inundated with (unsought) congratulations by people from both sides who used to think I was overly pessimistic about the cesspool that has masqueraded as a government in the U.S. for several decades. They’ve been graciously telling me that they’ve seen – in the frantic reaction to President Trump’s attempts to Drain the Swamp – verification of everything I’ve said over the years about the white collar criminals called career politicians.
