Noted Doofus, Chris Coons, is Disgusted but Thinks Great Gun Compromise is Still “Possible”

4 Comments
Coons was in rare form on TV today. Opening with the news that he "can hardly stand serving" in the wholly disgusting US Senate anymore. (Aside - Well, fucking quit then. Give someone else a chance.) Then pivoting to being "hopeful" that "at least" billions will be invested in fully kitted out ER/trauma units and mental health facilities for all schools, because school shootings cannot (and should not #freedom!) be stopped. Listen for yourself if you don't believe me.

Happy belated Juneteenth. I had a wonderful weekend full of not paying attention to any news and hope you did as well. This Monday we wake to Chris Coons looking like a smacked ass, the Texas GOP officially goes full MAGA calling Joe Biden the "Acting President". A vote that should be easy for Dems ("The GOP is defunding School lunch") but will be bungled, and the anti-centrist results of the parliamentary vote in France. The new Texas Republican party platform calls homosexuality “an abnormal lifestyle choice,” says President Biden "was not legitimately elected," and says Texas students should “learn about the Humanity of the Preborn Child.” A free school lunches program that helped feed millions of children during the pandemic is set to end on June 30. It could create a “perfect storm” for families already grappling with high inflation, experts say.
Emmanuel Macron’s centrist grouping has lost its absolute majority in parliament, amid gains by a new left alliance and a historic surge by the far right in legislative elections. After five years of undisputed control of parliament, the recently re-elected Macron, known for his top-down approach to power, now enters his second term facing uncertainty over how he will deliver domestic policies such as raising the retirement age and overhauling state benefits. His centrists will need to strike compromises and expand alliances in parliament to be able to push forward his proposals to cut taxes and shake up the welfare system.

Is my client a creep and a fucking horrible person? Probably. But a criminal?

Woods' defense of the indefensible seems to be that being a fucking asshole isn't a crime. Listen all about it at the Highlands Bunker - then throw them a measly $5.00 a month, you creep.

You know, it is funny. It's ha ha funny. And yet, Kathy being SO transparently corrupt, having committed crimes so casually and publicly, if she skates because the AG screwed up, or because she is mobbed up with our corrupt piece of shit Speaker of the House, it really says some dire things about our state government.

White Lawlessness Comes to Coer d’Alene

The White Community and White Leadership have been largely silent on recent arrests of 31 members of a white group planning to riot at a gay pride event. 

From mass school shootings, to price gouging by white owned energy companies, to election nullification, to planned riots, we've clearly got a white people problem in America.  Until the white leadership steps up to address rampant white lawlessness, it is hard to see how the country can move forward.
