BREAKING: Trump Threatens To Abandon Puerto Rico Relief Effort. ““We cannot keep FEMA, the Military & the First Responders, who have been amazing (under the most difficult circumstances) in P.R. forever!” I have no words.
Velda Jones-Potter At It Again. How the fuck does the City hand this serial feeder at the public trough her own discretionary fund(s)? Financial literacy funds were not used for financial literacy. And then there’s this:
Jones-Potter also requested and received several other pots of money that are new for the treasurer’s office: $18,000 for community services, $25,000 for computer software, $700 for food, $3,500 for business meetings and $19,000 for consultants, her budget shows. That doesn’t include the $25,000 her office received for orientation and training.
Although the mayor said earlier this year that the city faced a “looming debt crisis” that required cutting sixteen firefighter positions and raising property taxes, the treasurer’s budget was 285 percent higher than that of her predecessor, the budget breakdown shows.
Looks like Velda Jones-Potter ran for Treasurer to loot the City’s treasury. And city leaders let her do it. This family needs to be out of government. Right now.
Pious Roy Moore Made Over $1 Mill From Religious Charity. He said he would not take a ‘regular salary’ b/c he ‘did not want to be a financial burden. Instead he took an irregular salary that netted him over a million dollars over six years. Very shady bookkeeping as well. Maybe it’ll matter, maybe it won’t. The D’s at least oughta try.
Trump To Nominate Kelly Aide As Homeland Security Secretary. Kirstjen Nielson. She’s been Kelly’s ‘enforcer’ and the Trump kids have chafed under her rule. This gets her out of the White House. Omasosa approves.
Dems Announce Legislation To Challenge Regulators’ Conflicts-Of-Interest. Considering the fox-guarding-the-henhouse approach to regulation under Trump, this is essential. But likely doomed.
The White Supremacist Airport Bomber You Didn’t Hear About. Michael Christopher Estes. Planted an explosive device at the Asheville (NC) Airport. Wanted to ‘…fight a war on American soil’. Jee-zus.
Why US Soccer Sucks. And why the US failure to reach the World Cup was so predictable. Hint: Ever wonder why soccer has become a white middle class sport in America?
The Iran Decertification Explained. Yes, he’s simply trying to destroy everything.
I’m sure there’s more, but I’m too depressed to seek it out.
What do you want to talk about?
