Oh man there’s a Senate staffer in Schmitt’s office who is in such deep shit he may be seeing brown for the rest of his life. And couldn’t happen to a worse group of people. Dirtbags indeed.

When historians look back on Trump's foreign policy in a century, I bet these are their verdict on his most famous policies: The support of Russia--the most evil. The pillaging of Venezuela--the most corrupt. The decision to go to war with Iran--the most incompetent.

It is a very sad commentary on professional sports in the US when there is no blowback to Ovechkin but Colin Kaepernick had his career undermined

Anyone want to talk about how weird this is? Let’s admit to ourselves that professional sports are a MAGA quagmire and ostracize them like … well never mind no one really gets ostracized anymore.

Ovechkin has always been a Putin tool. His father in law is effectively czar of the Russian defense industry.

“Stop Making Sense” turns 42 today. Of his performance, David Byrne said: “You see this person in the beginning [of the film] who's kind of angsty, stumbling around .. And then, by the end, he's surrendered to the music and is fairly joyful .. He’s found a kind of community." 🙏🏼 “Slippery People”

Everyone should be reading up on Article I Section 5 of the constitution where it says each chamber of Congress judges the elections, returns, and qualifications of its own members. Because Republicans will use it to block elected Dems from becoming members.

It would be interesting to see if there was a disparity among what college they came from. In other words if some colleges were sending players to the NFL with pre-existing conditions. Or precursors.

These new Google Waymo vans are Chinese electric manufactured vans. Chinese electric cars are illegal to buy, sell and even register in Arizona. Google, a powerful tech company, gets to circumvent those laws because “rules for thee, not me”. Tax the rich!

It’s worse than this. Having been in the room with many of them (long ago, before I knew they were psychopaths), the tycoons who are left running the industry have an active contempt for ordinary people, including their own workers. They actively want to oppress, control and punish them.

Force the entire Republican Party to die on the hill of “The president is a king and should be allowed to defy the law to build himself a golden palace.” Talk about it nonstop. No issue so succinctly captures the battle lines: on one side, an authoritarian personalist cult, on the other, democracy.
