Taxpayers will end up repaying Venezuela for all that stolen oil. It is just fucking incredible what he is getting away with!
Chris Wright on seized Venezuelan oil: "We've sold about $1 billion of oil so far. We've recently signed agreements to sell about another $5 billion in the next several months. So you're talking well north of $10 billion a year ... this is way out of the box, groundbreaking Trump diplomacy."

Why GOP loves the SAVE Act:
“Women are smart. They should be able to provide 9 forms of ID to prove the discrepancies b/w their maiden and married names, argue their case with a poll worker, before having to fill out a provisional ballot which we can later contest and reject as a fraudulent vote”

During newly elected President Obama's acceptance speech, cameras flashed on Jesse Jackson, whose face told so much. Pride, happiness, and also tears, witnessing what he'd yearned for himself, but been denied. He paved the path for Obama, and I've always felt grateful

We lost Jesse Jackson and Robert Duvall this week.
We really need to have a chat with Mr. Reaper about his priorities.

Stephen Colbert says he was told by CBS lawyers "in no uncertain terms" that he could not have Texas State Rep. James Talarico on his program.
"Because my network clearly doesn't want us to talk about this, let's talk about this."

James Talarico: No one's ever asked me about the cost of housing. The only thing the media wants to ask me about are trans athletes.
The only minority destroying this country is the billionaires. Trans people are 1% of the population. We are all focused on the wrong 1%.

For the record, I’m a fan of both candidates in the democratic senate primary.
Whatever the outcome, we need more principled leaders like Talarico and Crockett in this fight against fascism.
As to who might have a better chance of winning the senate seat, I only have a gut opinion. For now.

There are three types of conservatives right now:
- those who think protecting pedophiles is a bridge too far.
- those who don’t think it is.

It turns out the government is keeping public lists of those fiercely defending President Trump and his cabal of pedophiles.
They’re called sex offender registries.
