Sounds like almost nobody in Congress likes that idea. Jamie Raskin & Adam Schiff are the first MOCs to create a bill to address the dark money issue caused by the CU debacle (thanks to John Roberts, etc.) & that happened over a decade ago. But the DOJ still won't enforce it.

I think he has "conduct disorder" or "oppositional defiant disorder" as a child and now has Anti-social Personality Disorder along with Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

My friend is a shrink who has worked with pedophiles who have been arrested. He has said there is simply no way to stop their compulsion. It's not that we have more pedophiles in the US it's that they are given the chance to re-offend. The same person may have 10+ victims
Blue America sure owes a lot to African-American women in Georgia. They've done miraculous things.

All those who voted for Rev Warnock & Jon Ossoff, flipped Georgia blue & gave Dems a Senate majority.
Thank you all.

This is such BS.
“Last night, I congratulated Donald Trump and offered to work with him on behalf of our country. I hope that he will be a successful president for all Americans. This is not the outcome we wanted or we worked so hard for, and I’m sorry that we did not win this…

I don't think women should have to pay taxes any more. We're not full citizens. Therefore we shouldn't have to pay to support a government that doesn't represent us.

The victim here is saying what I've been thinking -- this Karen & some of the others - have a drug problem. He's saying she's a crack-head; my first thought was meth. Pretty much the same sh*t I'd guess. I've seen ppl having a meth meltdown & this is how it looks, more or less.

The trolls have gotten really bad. At one point 90% of tweets about Paul Pelosi were using the same talking points & linking to the same Breitbart which was full of innuendo & disinformation. It's getting tiresome to spend so much time blocking obvious trolls.

Unfettered capitalism doesn't sound bad enough. Some combination of graft/grift/theft/greed. I'll never not be stunned that 74M ppl admired this man enough to vote for him.
This weird thing has happened in the world during the pandemic: people of the far right (including governors and judges all the way up to SCOTUS) and even non-right wingers, have developed a philosophy that amounts to granting the coronavirus a “right” to proliferate and spread…

I think of Holodomor & of course, the Holocaust. But this has elements of the Winter War too. The Ukrainians are valiant & strong like the Finns. And Putin, eerily like Stalin, is maniacally ruthless & will double down. If not stopped, it may be like an Old Testament story.

Can DeJoy and other agency heads (like DeVos) be criminally prosecuted for corruption, malfeasance, etc. once Trump is gone? If not that than civil charges based on their position of trust?
I believe they would be in other countries, including some communist dictatorships.

That was mentioned in the AP article on this. A lawyer commented that the prosecutors didn't seem to get enough information from the potential jurors at the end of the jury selection process. I question why the jurors were pulled almost exclusively from rural (red) areas of MI.

I feel America has been way too cocky about how its government was organized & operates. The lack of a SCOTUS code of ethics is another major oversight that shocked me. Now that these deficits have been made obvious, no politician seems to notice them.

Was that when the pushy older white people were trying to force their way in but a cop stopped them bc the real electors had been seated already? I saw the clip 12.20.2020 & have been wondering if the FBI would ever care. This?
@DanRather
For 18 mos I've wondered why there's been no investigation of Chris Miller, Kash Patel, Ezra Cohen, Ryan McCarthy, & Gens. Flynn & Piatt. They were together all afternoon on 1/6 doing "table top exercises" but mostly they delayed the NG. They were integral to 1/6.
@AymannJames
It might be a good idea to boycott the shows if not the entire broadcasting network that give Trump & other MAGAs a platform. It might be good to not amplify their messaging on Twitter by not repeating their words. Starving them of attention is an idea that hasn't been tried yet.

He was released about 10 days ago. If someone isn't even given bail, how can 3-3.5 years be an adequate sentence? No bail indicates they thought he was dangerous. But 3 months later he's not?
5.24.2024 J6 Political Prisoner from New York, Brandon Fellows, 29, was just released from prison for J6 & he speaks to me outside of the US Federal Court today in Washington, D.C. after observing the J6 case of Christopher Quaglin who is sentenced to 12 years in Federal Prison.

@DanRather
100% Congress had a fluff questioning of Miller that belied how involved he had to be. Miller, Patel, Cohen-Watnick, Gens. Piatt, C. Flynn (Mike Flynn's brother), Milley were in the same room all afternoon w/ Ryan McCarthy on speakerphone. Patel was texting Meadows all day.

I watched an episode of The Amazing Race where they had to recognize who Jackie Kennedy was from an iconic photo. Most had no idea who it was. One woman thought she was someone who was Cambodian bc they were in Cambodia.🤦♀️The US school system is abysmal.

What is wrong with him? Was he raised by wolves? Does he think this reflects well on him, his family, etc.? Maybe someone needs to explain being a grown man to him.
@itsJeffTiedrich
I always have a hard time understanding how black ppl vote Republican. Things like this make it inexplicable. Do they think Reps hate all black ppl except themselves? Or is the religious factor all that matters? I don't get it.
@PrezLives2022
Maybe if the Senate had just listened to Anita Hill. Or allowed the 3 other women to testify. While Bush nominated him, we cannot forget that a Democratic majority Senate who lead hearings & voted to put him on the SCOTUS. This was the Senate in 1991.
@OccupyDemocrats
All Republican voters in Alabama are equally responsible for this. Without them there would be no Senator Tuberville. Shame on them all.
@DoYouEvenLIf
π (3.1415926535) only this much because I'm giving him credit for not launching nuclear war so far.🤞That would cost him some points. Possibly this is only because someone gave him a toy version of the launch device or the wrong code so he may not technically deserve it.
@ReportsDaNews
The fact that he hasn't been is a very bad sign. Maybe it's time to get rid of Christopher Wray or whichever US Attny who's supposed to be investigating. They're had an excessive amount of time. The evidence and witnesses have gone public. Something's wrong w/ this situation.

@RepMTG
Marjorie asked for a pardon after a few days on the job. It must have been something big. Maybe it involved a pipe and/or a bomb. It'd be nice to know since she's a MOC.
The 1/7/21 breach of Coffee County, GA was confirmed. Sidney Powell reportedly recruited the people who did it. Why have Powell and her associates not been indicted? What am I missing?

If there was a cartoon thought bubble above his head, thinking it would be "Don't react, don't react, don't react ... damn eyes stop it..."
It's reminiscent of the look Buzz Aldrin had during his Trump moment, but toned down a bit.

Most states have price gouging rules that governors can implement. DeSantis could probably do something but doesn't want to.

All these replies that say "Congress next" etc. - you don't understand what has happened w/ this. They're not saying she's too extreme for Congress. They're saying she's not extreme enough for their group. They're going in the opposite direction than what you're thinking.

Exactly. When he says "out" that implies something will happen to her. Unless I'm missing something that isn't true. Her decision was overruled but she will continue to be a corrupt judge for as long as she lives bc our govt has decided to give fed judges carte blanche.
@WajahatAli
It's hard to believe a vet could be that ignorant. He says he wants to show the world what Americans are "made of." His post exemplifies stupidity, greed, & selfishness. If that's what he was trying for, then mission accomplished. Fortunately, not all Americans aspire to that.

That's it. Not one tiny tweet from Pelosi on this mess. The one person with the power won't say a word. The Dems passivity is what's most disturbing here. Those in power need to fight zealously so Biden can take office. The leader's silence sends a bad message.

Do ppl know that AZ doesn't have to wait until 2024 to get rid of Sinema? She can be primaried w/ enough signatures to equal 25% of the votes she got. She only has 8% approval so that should be doable.
This effort could start immediately.

Why even bother with a subpoena? Go ahead and get more search warrants. The fact that they haven't searched Trump's other properties tells me they really don't care.
