Sen. Booker to Todd Blanche: "Your nomination should fail. The Attorney General's client is not the president, it's the American people. You've been protecting one person for most of your career…You should not be confirmed to this job."

It's a sign of how shockingly corrupt this country has become that a nominee for Attorney General is given a hearing by the Senate *the very same week* he has been referred by a judge for possible disbarment for unethical behavior. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Booker: Okay, but this is the thing that really bothers me. He’s telling me, “I am concerned about Ghislaine Maxwell’s safety” But I am not even going to meet with the victims to get them the justice they deserve. It is so disqualifying for this man to have sat there today and said that to me.

There is something deeply pathological about Chief Justice Roberts insisting the Supreme Court isn’t political while sitting atop the most ideological supermajority in modern history.

19 states have already given our government their voter data. The government is suing the remaining 31 to get their data as well. So yeah, they don’t want election integrity, they want to win elections; by any means necessary. Stealing the 2024 election was just too difficult. So now…..

Nope. No one is prepared for what they will do. They are predictable to be sure. Surprise visits to ICE detention prove that. But with the tech bros in tow and voter data from 19 states so far. The writing is on the wall that we aren’t prepared enough.

Was curious so I looked it up.
What can you make from one barrel of oil?
Researchers broke down a typical barrel of domestic crude oil into what could be produced from it. The average domestic crude oil has a gravity of 32 degrees and weighs 7.21 pounds per gallon. Here's what just one barrel of crude oil can produce:
Wax for 170
birthday candles or
27 crayons.
Distillate fuel to drive a large truck (five miles per gallon) for almost
40 miles
If jet fuel fraction is included, that same truck can run nearly
50 miles
Asphalt to make about one gallon
of tar for patching roofs or streets.
Lubricants to make about one quart of motor oil.
Nearly
70kilowatt-hours
of electricity at a power plant generated by residual fuel.
About
four pounds
of charcoal briquettes.
Gasoline to drive a medium-sized car (17 miles per gallon) for more than
280 miles
Liquefied gases,
such as propane, to fill
12
small (14.1-ounce) cylinders for home, camping or workshop use.
There would be enough petrochemicals left in that same barrel to also provide the base for:
540
toothbrushes
135
four-inch rubber balls
39
polyester shirts
750
pocket combs
23
hula hoops
65
plastic drinking cups
195
one-cup measuring cups
11
plastic telephone housings
65
plastic dustpans
The lighter materials in a barrel are used mainly for paint thinners and dry-cleaning solvents, and they can make nearly a quart of one of these products. The miscellaneous fraction of what is left still contains enough byproducts to be used in medicinal oils, still gas, road oil and plant condensates.
It's a real industrial horn of plenty.

VOTER SUPPRESSION 101:
Please for a minute consider all that has been done, with very little scrutiny or opposition to suppress votes, over decades. Gerrymandering alone has suppressed millions of votes. Their number one useful tool in voter suppression, is making voters believe, other voters is the problem.

NASTY WORK: Together for ten years or more and not getting married. That’s nasty work said someone on Facebook today. I responded:
Not if you finally get married. Nasty work is getting married, when it won't work and then having to divorce, divorce is the definition of nasty work. Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell never married, together for decades. Nasty or not people have to do what ultimately will work for them. Not everybody else and their expectations for their relationship. The nasty work is people outside a relationship judging it.
