Hillary Clinton is calling for Donald Trump to release his tax returns – and he should. But she completely misses the irony and hypocrisy of calling on Trump to release information when she still hasn’t released the transcripts of her Wall Street speeches. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

Harry Reid has proven that he has not been an effective leader for the Democratic party in the Senate. Since the early days of the Obama administration, Reid has been calling the shots and he’s done a pretty lousy job. The Democratic party has recently been putting the absolute worst people in important positions, and there’s one person that can turn all of that upside down. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.
Bernie Sanders Should Be The One to Save the Democratic Party

We know a lot about the torture policies of the US government during the Iraq War, but there’s still a lot that we don’t know. Luckily, a new book by a former NSA expert shines an even brighter spotlight on just how bad the torture was during those years. The issue of torture has also been covered extensively by The Intercept, and Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins talks to Cora Currier from The Intercept about it.

Now that Hillary Clinton has told her supporters more than once that she intends to put Bill Clinton to work in her administration, it becomes difficult, if not impossible, for the candidate and her supporters to continue complaining that attacks on Bill are not legitimate criticisms of Hillary as well.
Clinton joked at the beginning of May that Bill would be coming out of retirement to “be in charge of this” – “This” being trade. Then just this week, Clinton said that Bill would be in charge of “revitalizing the economy.”
A Clinton Presidency Would Bring Another Reign of Terror From Bill

If you have any doubt that Debbie Wasserman Schultz is the worst leader that the Democratic Party has had in modern history, just look at the corporations that she’s allowing to call the shots for this year’s conventions. And that doesn’t even begin to touch on the anti-Bernie actions coming directly from the Party, which could cost Democrats the White House this year.

Some prominent Republicans say that they’ll never support Trump. But as we’ve already seen, some of them are changing their tune pretty quickly, uniting behind the candidate they hate due to their hatred of the Democratic Party.

Cowardly Republicans Will Unite Behind Trump’s Bigotry Eventually

Donald Trump has gotten a free pass from the corporate media from day one. They let him call in for telephone interviews – which didn’t happen with any other candidates. They’ve covered every speech and rally that they possibly could while ignoring everyone else. The corporate media loves Donald Trump because he puts eyeballs on the screens. They’ve given him almost $3 billion dollars in free coverage since he began his campaign.
And the reason they love him is because they created him. He’s their boy, and he’s generating massive ad revenues, so they’re going to keep pushing Trump as hard as they can.
