what's really fascinating is this shithead dumbfuck says the people can handle the truth or whatever. Well.... President Joe Biden has been saying that he's keeping his hand off the DOJ, and Merrick Garland is keeping his hand off the Special Counsel Jack Smith. So, I ask him, what the hell different does he think he's gonna learn. Fucking republicans need to start thinking about governing, and fixing the problems this country has, instead of looking foe revenge because their false idol is crashing down on them.

it does seem as if too many people have a problem with reading comprehension. So as a public service... A reading comprehension test.    SANIBEL, Fla.— People are taking full advantage of visiting Sanibel with no causeway tolls, and business owners said they are loving this idea. Clare Harris at Billy’s Rentals said, “We’ve definitely seen an uptake in customers today; it’s wonderful.” Harris said the toll fee being waived has helped her get more customers on bikes. “It’s just great to see the families come out,” Harris smiled. The Brandl family being one of them. Liz Brandl is visiting Sanibel with her family. She said, “We’re going to go on a bike ride and go see the lighthouse with the kids and then we wanted to go out and explore some beaches today.” Liz said not having to pay the toll fee made her visit to Sanibel even better. “It was wonderful! It was really easy to enter; we appreciate saving the money coming over here,” smiled Liz. Plus, the rest of the Brandl family w...

On this Electoral College day...I like to reflect on 'the serious answer'... 12-14-2020 https://www.democraticunderground.com/100214709776 'An anguished question from a Trump supporter: "Why do liberals think Trump supporters are stupid?"   The serious answer: Here’s what we really think about Trump supporters - the rich, the poor, the malignant and the innocently well-meaning, the ones who think and the ones who don't...   That when you saw a man who had owned a fraudulent University, intent on scamming poor people, you thought "Fine." That when you saw a man who had made it his business practice to stiff his creditors, you said, "Okay." That when you heard him proudly brag about his own history of sexual abuse, you said, "No problem." That when he made up stories about seeing muslim-Americans in the thousands cheering the destruction of the World Trade Center, you said, "Not an iss...
How VP Harris Can Sideline Moscow Mitch  NOV 14, 2020 https://newsflector.com/how-vp-harris-can-sideline-moscow-mitch/ Even if the Democrats don’t win control of the Senate, there is a way to strip Mitch McConnell of his power for good: priority recognition. According to Article I, Section 3, Clause 4 of the Constitution, the Vice President is also the President of the Senate. The Majority Leader is not a position that exists anywhere in the Constitution. The reason that the Majority Leader has near-dictatorial powers to control floor votes  is because of a tradition that dates back to 1937.  The tradition is that the Vice President gives the floor leaders priority recognition. Most notably,  this is not a rule in the Senate. As President of the Senate, Vice President Harris could give any senator priority recognition. That senator could then decide on all legislation that is brought before the entire Senate. Even with a minority in the Senate, Vice Preside...

The case against war. Support and defend. I have always insisted that my employers observed this with regard to employee rights. The armed services ask, at the outset, that the employee relinquish those rights. This seems contradictory to me. That’s not a citizen’s army. It’s a hit squad. In any fight you need a defense as well. Agility, training and strength may also be a factor. The best a soldier can do is take no action that violates that contract. Such are truly patriots. A modest draft, with an exemption for other projects in the national interest, seems like a reasonable option. To be clear, the armed forces are for the national defense in the world that is or will be in a short time. Moving on, what size military do we require? The question is best answered by an accurate assessment of our enemies. I would submit that they are fewer than we would expect, given the devastation we have caused. In any rational assessment, it is time to stand down from our current posture a...
