Trump Vetoes Defense Bill. In last-ditch effort to save the names of those Confederates on government installations. None (Rethug variety) dare call it insanity.
Trump Pardons More Miscreants. Virtually all of whom have some ties to Trump:
Of the 65 pardons and commutations that Mr. Trump had granted before Wednesday, 60 have gone to petitioners who had a personal tie to Mr. Trump or who helped his political aims, according to a tabulation by the Harvard Law School professor Jack Goldsmith. Although similar figures do not exist for previous presidents, legal experts say that those presidents granted a far lower percentage to those who could help them personally and politically.
Sen Ben Sasse said it best: “This is rotten to the core.” Here, learn about Kushner’s dad. No less than Chris Christie called Kushner’s crime ‘loathsome’. It was.
Trump Sorta Threatens To Veto Covid Relief Bill. He wants $2000 checks. Now. Rethugs in disarray.
Raffensperger Caves On ‘No-Excuse’ Absentee Voting. Once a Rethug, always a Rethug.
The Blackwater Massacre Of Iraqi Civilians. As told by survivors. Trump just pardoned these killers. The worst of America. As is Trump’s killing spree. A report on the last-minute executions he is carrying out.
LA’s AG Eliminates Cash Bail. Usual Suspects Recoil. It’s still gonna take some time.
Massachusetts Enacts Police Reform. Police Recoil. It’s still gonna take some time. Hopefully, not too much time: Ohio. South Carolina.
There will be no open thread tomorrow since experiences teaches us that hardly anyone reads it on Christmas Day.
What do you want to talk about?
So on the day that congress passes a barely adequate COVID relief bill that heartless animal who is squatting in the people’s Whitehouse threatens to veto it. Any commenters that still believe that soulless, subhuman species of vermin should remain in office and not be charged with crimes against humanity should examine whatever conscience they have left and look in the mirror to see the face of ugly. He is a deranged narcissistic sociopath with absolutely no redeeming qualities and yet he still manages to create enough political turmoil to disrupt the lives of tens of millions of Americans and businesses. His madness is aided and abetted by political machinations and posturing by both parties. Hey you effin’ selfish bastards it’s Christmas, how about some Christmas spirit and some sign of humanity extended to the PEOPLE.
