Every Day Is White Supremacist Day. As in this. And this. The new normal.
Every Day Is Right-Wing Preacher Hypocrisy Day. As in this. And this. The same old normal.
No Greenland, No Denmark For Trump. Everything is transactional. Except when there’s no hope of a transaction. Still, with legalized prostitution…
‘No More Corporate Lawyers On The Federal Bench’. I think Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders can buy into this. Biden? No way. A damned good reasoned piece, well worth reading.
A Typical Trump Sentencing Commutation. Replete with lies and omissions. Oh, and Mike Hucksterbee.
What do you want to talk about?
Having just witnessed ten minutes of insane and inane psychopathic ramblings by the apparently crazed Trump I think it is past time to organize efforts under the 25th amendment to remove him from the presidency. His constant sprinkling of a few half-truths into a veritable stew of lies, falsehoods and paranoid rants is given veracity by the willingness of the various media outlets to display his quotes in a banner scrawl at the bottom of the screen as if they are, in fact, correct or debatable points or opinions. This great country and all of its citizens are at risk of an apocalyptic future as long as he is presumed to be a valid representative of the most powerful office in the most powerful country.
Representative John Kowalko
“Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.”
Yes, he is crazy and dumb as a half-dead racoon, but Pence plus a majority of cabinet members doesn’t seem likely.
Yeah I know. Ironic, however, that he wears the “half-alive” racoon on his head. The carcass probably adds a substantial number of IQ points to his moronic intellect.
