I guess the check to Judge Cannon bounced. He focused mainly on the judge and occasionally whispered and passed notes to one of his attorneys. This bit is gold. What possible constructive input could be made, I wonder? I have visions of him writing the notes with a sharpie and then signing them too. The judge adamantly stated, “It’s difficult to see how this gets you to the dismissal of an indictment,” at one point. Translation? “I would like to help you get there, but this would be too obvious.”
She knows that dismissing the case would only lead to it resurfacing in another court.… Continue reading
Billionaires are raging about Biden’s State of the Union tax proposals, and quite honestly, I couldn’t care less about their complaints. The idea that these ultra-wealthy individuals are up in arms about paying their fair share in taxes is laughable, considering the immense wealth they have accumulated over the years. It’s outrageous that some of them pay a lower tax rate than the average worker, taking advantage of loopholes and stock market gains to reduce their tax burden significantly.
The argument that taxing the rich is synonymous with socialism is tired and outdated. In reality, the top 0.1% in the United States only contribute 3.2% of the total tax burden, while the bottom 99% carry a much heavier burden at 7.2%.… Continue reading
It is truly mind-boggling to witness former President Donald Trump continuously deny allegations made against him, especially when a jury has found him liable for his actions. His recent attack on E. Jean Carroll, accusing her of fabricating false accusations, despite the overwhelming evidence against him, only further solidifies his relentless need to deflect accountability.
Trump’s claim that he posted a $91 million bond, when in reality it was an insurance company that fronted the money, showcases his delusional sense of reality. His inability to provide any concrete evidence to support his claims only reinforces the notion that he operates solely on bluster and bravado, rather than facts and truth.… Continue reading
As a working individual, the idea of a 32-hour workweek with no loss in pay sounds like a dream come true. The thought of having a three-day weekend every week is truly enticing and could be life-changing for many people. However, the reality is that the current work structure, especially in industries like manufacturing, may not easily allow for such a significant shift.
Businesses are often resistant to change, even when it is clear that certain work practices are detrimental to their employees’ well-being and productivity. The reluctance to adapt to new work schedules, such as eliminating rotating shifts or reducing hours, ultimately impacts the quality of work and could contribute to high turnover rates.… Continue reading
The recent revelation from the Biden Transcript has certainly shed light on some questionable claims made by the Special Counsel regarding the President’s memory. The fact that Biden was never even asked about the timing of his son’s death, yet certain individuals tried to spin it as if he couldn’t remember, raises serious concerns about the credibility and intentions of those involved in the investigation.
It’s evident that there was a clear attempt to discredit President Biden by questioning his memory when, in reality, he immediately recalled the month and day of his son’s death. The manipulation of facts for political gain is not only disheartening but also damaging to the public’s perception of the truth.… Continue reading
I sit here reading through the chaotic mess that is the current state of the Republican Party under the thumb of Donald Trump, and I can’t help but feel a mix of frustration and dark amusement. The GOP is tearing itself apart, and it’s like watching a slow-motion train wreck – you can’t look away, but you know it’s going to be a disaster.
The fact that some Republican donors are finally realizing they’ve been duped by a conman is both satisfying and infuriating. They threw their support behind Trump, expecting to see some kind of return on their investment, only to have their money funneled towards his legal fees and personal agenda.… Continue reading
The recent purge at the RNC, spearheaded by new leadership loyal to Trump, has been described as an ‘absolute bloodbath’. The implications of this drastic move are significant, with many suggesting that the Republican Party is on a path to destruction. As resources are funneled towards Trump’s legal fees, there is growing concern that local races will suffer, deprived of critical funding for ads and campaigns. The power shift within the RNC reflects a dangerous trend towards autocratic leadership, reminiscent of dictatorial regimes like Saddam Hussein. With Trump at the helm, the party’s finances are being drained, leaving little support for down-ballot candidates who rely on party resources.… Continue reading
House Republicans are suddenly desperate to end Biden impeachment, and honestly, I can’t say I’m surprised. The GOP painted themselves into a corner with this one, and now they’re scrambling to find a way out. Despite their best efforts, there simply isn’t any evidence to impeach Joe Biden. Texas Representative Troy Nehls even admitted, “I don’t think we have the will to impeach Joe Biden.” Well, impeachments aren’t based on will – they’re based on facts and evidence.
The whole charade of trying to impeach Biden has been nothing but a blatant fishing expedition by the GOP. They’ve been grasping at straws, hoping to find something – anything – to pin on the President.… Continue reading
I can’t help but feel a mix of curiosity and dread at the idea that five more House Republicans might resign following Ken Buck’s departure. The mere thought of these resignations could potentially lead to a significant shift in the House landscape, with implications that could be both unprecedented and concerning. However, this speculation also hints at a deeper issue within the Republican Party that cannot be ignored.
It seems that a growing number of Republicans are disillusioned with the current state of affairs within their party. The chaos, disarray, and lack of unity among House Republicans are glaringly obvious. The fact that fundraising efforts are predominantly directed towards Trump’s legal matters rather than party development speaks volumes about the internal struggles and priorities within the GOP.… Continue reading
It’s both frustrating and concerning to witness an elected Republican official like Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach opposing a plan to remove lead water pipes. Lead poisoning is a serious health hazard that can have devastating effects on individuals, especially children. The fact that Kobach and other state attorneys general believe that the proposal to replace over 9 million lead pipes nationwide is underfunded and unnecessary is not only perplexing but also alarming.
The sheer ignorance and lack of understanding about the dangers of lead poisoning are baffling. Lead is a potent neurotoxin that can cause irreversible cognitive harm, economic loss, and even higher crime rates.… Continue reading
