America is failing

 

South Carolina tripping up GOP efforts

 

Judges taking on Trump

 Judge orders Trump name removed from the Kennedy Center:

Two Romanian villages were evacuated on Monday after a drone struck a Turkish-flagged tanker, setting it ablaze in southern Ukraine.

The MT Orinda was hit while offloading liquefied petroleum gas in a Ukrainian border city near Romania, sparking fires while more than a dozen workers were onboard.

The strike came the day after Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky signed a deal to import energy resources through the area of the strike.

WTF?

 

In other words, pointless.

America is a joke

 

All talk

 

Yeah, sure.  Like you did Iran.

Welp

 

Texas Representative Ann Johnson

Taking on Citizens United

"Hawaii just made history, becoming the first state in the nation to effectively ban dark money in elections. The new law takes a novel approach: rather than trying to restrict corporate speech, it redefines the powers corporations have in the first place — and political spending is not among them. The strategy, known as the “Corporate Power Reset,” was developed by Tom Moore of the Center for American Progress. And at least a dozen states are now working toward passing similar laws."

Video news from MS Now

How simple. States grant corporations power to operate in their borders, states can decide what powers corporations are granted in their states. SuperPacs can still operate, but they can only accept money from individuals, and they have to publicly name those individuals.

Interestingly, the law passed unanimously in one house and 52-1 for it in the other.

Expect legal challenges against it.

Trump's corrupt DOJ takes the cake

This is one of the most gobsmacking stories on this regime we've had yet - and that's saying a lot.

The most corrupt regime on the planet - ever

 

Of course they are.

But MAGA!

 

It's about time

 

All in the family

 

Also, Trump didn't go to the wedding.  I assume it wasn't because  he didn't get invited.

He probably planned a false flag assassination attempt to coincide with the wedding.

Iran is cleaning Trump's (our) clock

 

More like the Iranian States of America, asshat.

It's a ballroom???

 

Now, why would he need a fortress?  Hmmmmmm.

Waking up

 

Thank goodness for electric vehicles

Regular gasoline in Northern Illinois:  $5.09/gallon at Love's - one of the cheapest places. 

Luckily, I have a hybrid and last filled up on Thanksgiving right before the price started to climb.  Still had 100 miles worth when I filled up a couple days ago.  And yet, I know that even at $5, we don't pay the actual cost to the environment of driving in this country.  

Ooops

 

Well, then

 

Also...

LOL, the golden calf

LOL

Democratic socialism at work

 

Expect it

 

The smartest guys in the room

 

Increased ICE activity in Chicago

 

Trump world running like a well-oiled machine

 

Yeah, soldiers don't need training.  Especially pilots.

Full speed ahead for Tennessee GOP

 

New York on the upswing

 

GOP reeks of desperation

 

There goes another one

 

Ouch

 

Actually, this is not surprising.  Elite college educations for elite spawn.  It's the American way.

Time to put Grandpa in a home
