Cenk hosting today. Update on the Scott Walker/Reagan story from yesterday when he claimed to have voted for Reagan when he was 17 years old. Marco Rubio dodged the question of whether or not he’s ever smoked marijuana while legislating against legalizing it. Rep Boehner announced today that the Republicans will agree to a clean debt limit increase. He characterized his caving in to allowing the Dems to handle their own overspending. The Senate Conservatives Fund is looking to replace John Boehner after this latest decision. Iraq is falling apart again as 9000 people were killed in terrorist attacks last year. Some extreme radicals that were teaching suicide bombing techniques to students accidentally detonated the device, killing himself and 22 other potential militants, as well as 15 injured. An extreme right winger that has a past of protesting and bombing of abortion clinics is now wanted for sexually assaulting an 11 year old girl in a store.
In Maryland, where the NSA’s Ft Meade HQs are, legislation is being considered to turn the NSA’s lights and water supply off. This would keep the NSA offices from doing anything to operate. 5 similar bipartisan bills in states where the NSA has other offices are also being considered. South Dakota’s Republican legislators blocked a bill that would allow constituents to vote on whether or not they wanted the Medicaid expansion program. They cited that it would set a bad precedent to allow voters to have control over something that should be left to them. Workers for a Volkswagen plant in Tennessee are looking to band together to join a union, but the lawmakers there threatened to take away the tax incentives of the company if they do it. It is a scam hatched between the legislators and the company itself to keep the workers in line.
Republican Civil War where the Tea Party (Billionaires) is warring with corporations that control the establishment Republican Party. How Citizens United really agitated this fight. The amount of money being spent to fight to the death in lethal primaries is astounding.
