When you hear Drumpf say that NPR is very unfair, very unfair, and smirk as he announces their devastating budget cut, remember:
If he could have done the same financially to all the major networks, he would have. In fact, that's part of what the lawsuits are about.

Maybe the best thing about the furor from the WH over the Epstein files is that it clearly has pulled the Once and Future Former President from his normal routine of wrecking the country.
Golf is a constant, best of all if he played 24x7x365. But absent that, he either screams and waffles or governs

Every single outburst from the White House this past week has been an admission that he knew what was going on, that he kept up with Epstein long after he "threw him out". Which he didn't.
I'm thinking it has to be much worse than "he raped them".
It's probably more like "he had one of them killed".

Liberty Vote bought Dominion (of Fox-crushing fame) last month. I'm like, wha' hoppen? Guy who runs it speaks fluent 2020 conspiracy theory, this can't be good.

It's not just trying to strong-arm the GoP women that impresses me.
It's the incredibly clumsy, last-second, horribly organized way they tried to do it.
Full-on classic MAGA, folks. They mean ill, sure, but never underestimate the stupid.

There are significant indications that both the DoJ and the Epstein Estate have SIGNIFICANTLY more relevant material in their possession than the House has now.
No Democrat is seriously suggesting any of their past leaders should be redacted.
Let's go people. No more deflection.

Am I missing something? Or does the CR Senate vote mean, since it's an amendment, that the House would have to come back in session to vote on it?
Because if that's true, then this could be genius. Johnson's stuck, because a session means seating Grijalva, and that means files.

Drumpf endorsed Cuomo because he thinks he can get more mileage out of panty-twisting over a socialist as mayor.
Johnson has claimed ignorance of around a dozen major issues since sending the House GoP home to not hold town halls. Wonder if he's studying...

Hey grocery stores. Don't give a "discount" to SNAP holders. Just subtract the minimum monthly allowance from their bill as if they had the money now.
Bill the USDA for it.
Everybody bill the feds.
(Kudos to DE Gov Meyer, emergency-funding SNAP in November. Psst- BILL THE FEDS!)

Time to bill the feds.
Can't use state funds to load SNAP card EBTs?
Feds won't send grant money to state colleges?
Drumpf won't use appropriated money for in-state projects?
Keep the federal tax money you've been sending. Spend it on these things instead. Bill the feds for the costs of switching.

For somebody who reads tons of news I sure do miss stuff.
Drumpf is abroad insulting female reporters and griping for the gazillionth time about the stupid escalator and teleprompter.
And people there are pointing out- not a word about how someone tried to kill him?
Cartilage doesn't heal, folks.

Put a re-staffed ICE under the Census Dept!
They go door-to-door with all the documentation.
They check your history, identity.
Been here four years, no convictions, working a job?
:: stamp, stamp :: Here you go, you're legal now, with a citizenship path if you want it.
Bingo, no longer a criminal!

Does everyone grok that Republicans could end the shutdown tomorrow?
Don't even have to nuke the filibuster (which Senators L-U-V). They can just suspend the rule for the one vote (they've done it before), and Creamsickle Caligula can sign it wherever he's flying next to cheat on his golf score.

Another thing. Ms. Grijalva gets sworn in, there'll be some interval before that vote comes up. During that time, I'd want federal agents to protect exactly 218 people we know of. A few hours, couple days, whatever. The nutjobs would only have to shoot one...

I'm thinking about how when Notre Dame caught fire they went to the gang from Assassin's Creed for really detailed schematics and (sort of) helped restore it.
And I'm hoping against hope they did an AC game in the White House...

Yesterday I spoke to my Ancient History class about the end of Rome's Republic.
"This is the story of a wealthy, multi-ethnic, powerful, democratic culture that fell into autocracy. It fell because people started to stretch the laws for good reasons, then broke them for gain."
Total silence.

We might consider the significant possibility that Johnson's plan is to not call the House back into session. Ever.
Plus, the White House will certainly ignore any call to release the files anyway.
Blue states should work on how a tax boycott can happen. Including billing the feds for the cost.

The shape of a Blue-state tax rebellion.
If you send more than you get back, start to keep it.
Spend on what Congress said they would for your state.
Bill Drumpf for the cost of diverting the money.
Go to court to defend your position.
What they gonna' do? Send CT's Guard into NY to collect?!?

The solution to gerrymandering will take 30 years.
Appoint a third-party admin.
They create an enormous rulebook with a ten-rule abstract at the front.
E.g. "1. Congressional districts will usually have four corners and four sides." All the rest = exceptions.
Both sides sue, takes years, then done.

Can ANYBODY explain to me what Qatar gets from having an airfield in the Rockies? Are they safer from Iran now? Or Israel? Does it boost the price of oil?
