HL Mencken's Ghost

Liberal gadfly and social critic. Atheist.

Whitehouse: "Today I think is a sad and embarrassing day for this committee as it looks like on a party-line vote we are going to advance out of this committee probably the most discreditable person ever to seek the office of attorney general. Let's start with the Epstein files ... "

I want everyone to remember so they're not blindsided. Trump keeps bragging about how the Dow is hitting all-time highs -- and it is. I'd say it seems untethered to reality at this point. But... The DJIA also soared to an all-time high on October 9, 2007...just before the Great Recession.

Let’s not forget that this illegal Reflecting Pool indictment was also overseen by Todd Blanche. He could have stopped this at any time, but he was a corrupt and willing accomplice to this fraud upon the court. How can any decent person possibly vote for this man as AG?

The fact that Blanche refused to terminate the slush fund in writing for Trump’s criminal cronies as well as his IRS immunity deal proves that his testimony at his confirmation hearing that these things were “dead” was always a lie. They were dead only until he got confirmed.

I'll add to AOC's comments. They want to call this stuff communist because their overlords (the wealthy and corporations) who fund campaigns have an insatiable greed that 'cancels' the needs and rights of average Americans. www.huffpost.com/entry/alexan...

“Don’t worry, Pete. That little speech I read was just for the voters back home. I have to put on these little shows to convince them I’m independent. You will get the $1.5 trillion for your wars even though I just gave ICE unlimited funding to run wild. We’ll just borrow more.”
