Russians Targeting Election Systems In All 50 States. While Mitch McConnell singlehandedly blocks votes on election system protections.
Closet Case. Anti-LGBTQ Tenn. Representative solicited young men for gay sex on a ‘gay hook-up and dating app’. He’s resigning. In so many cases, their self-loathing takes the form of hating those who are like them.
How Dark Money Bailed Out Ohio’s Nuclear Industry. They defeated R’s who opposed the bailouts with R’s who were in the pockets of the dark money lobbyists. They then got their $1.1 billion taxpayer-funded bailout.
America’s Harshest Immigration Judge. ‘Abandon all hope, asylum seekers who enter here.’ She is far from the stereotype you might imagine.
John Carney With A Chicken. Which Is Which? Well, a rooster. At least there’s one set of bollocks in the picture. BTW, he ALMOST won the egg toss. Carney, that is.
What do you want to talk about?
The disloyal Republican Party snuggling up to their Russian benefactors. “We don’t need election security, papa Putin will take care of us” claims McTurtle.
I know. Sickening.
And speaking of slimeball McTurtle, wasn’t there something in the news a few months ago about a Russian firm bankrolling a $200 million investment in an aluminum smelting operation in Kentucky? Wonder how they avoided U.S. sanctions and picked that particular state.
