Taxation without representation. It used to be we got good schools, good roads and bridges, good stuff when we all paid our fair share. NOW? Bupkas as everyone tried to avoid paying anything at all. Country is going down the tubes. Everything is broken, nothing gets fixed. OLIGARCHARY. Trickle UP

Are the US taxpayers paying for that rocket crashing into the moon? Isn't the trillionaire doing it a great fighter against waste, fraud & abuse? Why waste our money that way? Universal health care makes more sense.

I couldn’t agree more. There are politicians in Europe & the UK who are guilty of serving the oil industries too. What can we do? The French have a saying: “Be the weight of the sea against the dyke”. Individually we weigh little but collective relentless pressure breaks through.

If a government requires you to pay taxes then won't offer any services or funding because of how you voted, why isn't that regarded as THEFT by partisans?

Is it possible that about a third of the American public lacks a functioning moral code at all?

4 of the 5 largest wildfires in the USA are burning in Oregon right now. Not sure if Trump will give us any assistance since we didn't vote for him. One 30,000 acre fire is near Mt. Hood & Timberline Lodge is at level 1 evacuation warning. We had ash on our car this morning in Portland.

Our yard was certified as a habitat by our town in a program we have. I've been naturalizing it, gradually, over the years. One feature I've grown to like more is the textures of the foliage, the various shapes, some vertical, some horizontal, grasses, fronds, leaves large & small.

Jesus has been misrepresented. The Church sets him up as the one & only son of God, the single offspring. That's not what he said. We are all children of God is the idea. In the Lord's Prayer, Jesus didn't say, "MY father who art in heaven ..." He said, "OUR father who art in heaven ..."

Valuing truth, by rulers, goes back a long way. In this, Trump & Marcus Aurelius are opposites.

AG Blanche? The USA is officially a shithole country. Rule by mobsters.

He & his family are raking in $$ billions. We are officially a shithole country if we allow that. Better generations of Americans prevented profiteering off of a public office. Republicans today love it & back it with all of their votes.

A religion that requires the strong-arm of the state to ram its views down the throats of unwilling people is a religion that isn't worth a damn. (Posted in response to Blanche's promise to right-wing parties to force the Dobbs decision upon every state.)

Tillis & Cornyn are retiring good riddance to bad rubbish

Klobuchar: "More than six months after Renee and Alex's deaths when I asked Acting AG Blanche if the department would finally fully cooperate with state law enforcement in these investigations, he said 'it depends on what full cooperation means'...Minnesotans deserve transparency and accountability"

Durbin: "Mr Blanche has aided and abetted the most corrupt administration in the history of the United States ... Blanche's willingness to casually lie under oath about he statement he made in a room full of witnesses shows the lengths he will go to to avoid offending President Trump."

Dobbs: hey, states can still have legal abortion Donald Trump's personal attorney: nah, we're rewriting that shit

Blanche assures anti-abortion supporters that Dobbs will be ‘permanent in every single state’

The acting attorney general made the remarks during a private call with faith leaders.

Confirming Blanche as Attorney General would be the nail in the coffin for the rule of law in the USA.

Public officials, like the-one-who-should-not-be-named, in many (most?) places in the USA, are held to public duty standards to prevent misconduct. They can be sued for malfeasance under tort law. HIS enemies, being harassed & abused, by expensive, frivolous lawsuits, should counter-sue for big $$$.

Now that Trump is 80, why not schedule 3 or 4 nap times every day? Maybe keep work sessions to a half an hour so his attention span isn't challenged? Or, taking the tough love approach, supply everyone in the room with an air horn?

The climate scientists Trump fired set up their own nonprofit climate science website. givebutter.com/climate-for-...

every single time this happens the next reporter should ask the same question. and then the next. and the next. he’s not going to cut off access. he craves attention too much for that. call his fucking bluff.

Trump says Jeanine Pirro "choked" and then snaps at a reporter who asks if her job is safe: "Don't ever talk again"

Dozy Don sleeping on the job AGAIN:

Abe Lincoln's advice to lawyers: “Resolve to be honest at all events; and if in your own judgments you cannot be an honest lawyer, resolve to honest without being a lawyer. Choose some other occupation, rather than one in the choosing of which you do, in advance, consent to be a knave.” 7/1/1850

Blanche as AG = Total trumpian corruption GUARANTEED.

They are a moral disgrace.. and this is what they do when they are NOT running for re-election.

So Tillis and Cornyn thought the 1.8. Billion dollar slush fun was so bad, that they will be willing to confirm the guy who came up with it. Huh

We knew those two would cave eventually. Spineless like the rest of the GOP.

Tillis: “I want this yoke off of the members who are up for election in November because there’s no way to explain it, no way to explain it whatsoever,”. WRT: Slush fund, Trump IRS immunity. Well buddy? You know how than can happen? KILL Blanche's nomination completely. And spare us the bulls**t.

If you don’t approve of Donald Trump, then you don’t approve of his Republican enablers. Every Republican in the House and Senate votes with Donald Trump over 99% of the time. Show them how you feel about that with your vote in November!

He may be insane, but at least everyone hates Donald Trump. www.againstallenemies.net/p/america-ha...

America Hates Donald Trump

The worst polling in history tells the story.
