It’s painful to even contemplate the misery and hardship Ukrainians will experience this winter with their energy infrastructure virtually destroyed by Putin. Can you imagine surviving one of our “polar vortex” events with no electricity and no natural gas or fuel oil for heating? The suffering is going to be terrible. And yet Marjorie Taylor Greene vows that one of the first things she will propose after Republicans take control of the House in January is that all aid to Ukraine be cut off. What a thoroughly disgusting human being. The idiotic voters of her Georgia district have a lot to answer for, inflicting this fool on the rest of us.
2020 called and stated it doesn’t want a do over! Please, is there anybody in America younger than 75 that can be our next President?
It seems Trump’s plan backfired. The DOJ thought it necessary to appoint a special counsel since Trump is running for president once again. This should be interesting.
Crown Point wants to build two hotels near the Crown Point Sports Complex. The complex is for summer sports. Who will use these hotels the rest of the year?
The Supreme Court’s 2013 gutting of the Voting Rights Act gave the green light to the most egregious partisan gerrymandering, and gerrymandering of congressional districts is what has given control of the House of Representative to Republicans. Between 2020 and 2022, gerrymandering of districts has allowed the GOP to flip at least a dozen districts from blue to red, which was more than enough to give them control. Bit by bit, conservatives on the Supreme Court are undoing some of the most fundamental principles of representative democracy.
Believe this. One of Trump’s highest priorities for seeking a nomination for President again is to exact revenge on all his political enemies and they are mostly Republicans.
Sorry to hear that Donald Trump will run in 2024! It may be great for our military, but it is going to be a blow to the moral of the abortion industry. The Democrats will swamp every abortion clinic in the country.
Just when we think we would not have to endure more Trump lies and just plain nonsense, he decides to embarrass himself again by running for president. An example of doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Trump is a born loser and thinks he can avoid prosecution by running for office again. And with his attitude about the law and that of Mike Pence that Congress has no right to expect him to follow laws because HE was vice president. And we are to believe no one is above the law? If you have money and a political position, the laws that you and I must obey do not apply. And I suppose you loyal Republicans will vote for these jokes on humanity. And for all you “evangelicals” I suggest you do your research about what that means some place other than Fox Entertainment “news”. Pence was a lousy governor and even a worse butt-kissing vice president.
Why bother to have a high school football tourney? The private schools win 5 out 6 classes just about every year. So much for recruiting and fair play.
Newly elected Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy is going to cry more than former Speaker John Boehner.
So many people involved with Donald Trump, were more than happy to spread lies, misinformation and conspiracy theories about the 2020 election, fraudulent voters, and vote counting. They were happy to go on every right-wing media source to spread their lies. Now when lawsuits have been filed and these same people are being subpoenaed to appear before a judge, they are all crying. They are fighting and trying to use our judicial system to block every attempt. If you are telling the truth, and have told the truth, why would you spend so much time, money and effort refusing to tell a judge, under oath what you have been saying?
