I keep saying that Democrats don't talk nearly enough about Trump's corruption and that of his cronies. Here's a good thread with links. https://t.co/XkYK7L0xWE
Whitehouse: "The last question I'm left with is what's left of this committee? What's left of this committee when we don't demand straight answers from witnesses? How many times has this DOJ been asked what became of the $50,000 that the FBI reported it handed to Homan in a bribery sting? That's administrative stuff ... our Republican colleagues see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil"
Glen Hansard has died after being involved in a motorcycle crash in Dublin.
Glen and Marketa Irglova performed "Into The Mystic" for us on the streets of Chicago while promoting the movie "Once" in 2008. I thought it would be fitting to share this today to remember his incredible talent and the passion he brought to every performance, big or small.
Glen Hansard was just 56 years old. RIP.
Erin Brockovich on data centers: “You’re pushing people too far at this point. You’re taking their water. Their air is jeopardized. Their land is jeopardized. Their sanctuary is jeopardized. Their wildlife is jeopardized. The trees, the rivers, the creeks, the birds, all of it”
Hunter Biden on Trump: “I would tell him to go fuck his fucking self. And please leave. This man has tried to torture me for fucking ten years. The shit that he says about my dad. His obsession with tormenting my dad. Hanging a picture of an autopen on the colonnade. Demeaning him and all the things he said about him. What the fuck kind of man would I be if I didn’t tell him to go fuck himself?”
To the punk managing this account who thinks a narcoleptic, grifting convicted felon and adjudicated rapist is Presidential material: you’re damned right I did. Because unlike you, neither I nor my constituents are attracted to this lipstick-lathered pig. Here’s why:
Studies now present a striking picture of what happens when private equity firms acquire hospitals and nursing homes: predictable increases in harm and deaths. One landmark study shows: patient deaths up about 11% after such acquisitions.
Don’t know why I’m bothering to point this out, but the twilight’s last gleaming, or for that matter the dawn’s early light, don’t refer to Philadelphia in 1776.
Your reminder that this sonofabitch Mitch McConnell, stole not 1 but 2 SCOTUS seats and packed the lower court with right-wing fanatics and refused to persuade Republican Senator's to convict Trump in both impeachment trials. He's responsible for this fucking nightmare.
According to Indiana state and federal records - the north part of that site is federally protected from any development, the south part is owned by the US Dept of Defense, and in between are a bunch of private businesses including oil tanks. The state would be looking at a massive eminent domain cost before even putting shovels in the ground on a site that literally touches the border of City of Chicago.
The dictatorship government of Venezuela asking for help to others country. Tells you how much money they have stole from the country that we don’t even have the machinery or the supplies for this type of tragedy.. they just stole all the money of the country ..
Dear Chris,
I can start by telling you who my audience is not.
It is NOT you.
It is NOT the pundit class that rarely leaves the safety of its Georgetown cocktail parties.
It is NOT the chattering class who gets paid to pretend it knows the mind of the American people.
It is NOT for anyone who looks at everything through the lens of politics.
The people I am talking to are tired of the bullshit.
The people I want to speak with are the 50 million Americans still sick and suffering. The families fighting for the lives of the those they love.
Whether they are people living in the shame and fear of being canceled, or consumed by grief after the loss of someone they love, they are just looking for a slight glimmer of hope that they too can get back up again.
My audience is the people who feel unheard, unseen, and uninvited, just like me.
My audience also includes my perceived enemies, those pitted against me by you and your colleagues in the media. I want to meet them where they are and help build a bridge. A bridge built of that which connects all of us. That’s where we begin to actually heal.
And it’s not as if my intent is difficult to understand or discern. Just read and listen to what I have said on this platform, and the 18+ hours of unscripted pod casts I have done.
I think your shock as to why anyone would care says far more about you than it does about me. Take a look at the comments to your post.
And I also know this: people are tired of the bullshit. They’re tired of you and the chattering classes’ obsession with my family as Rome burns.
So instead of wondering why people care about what I have to say, Chris, maybe you should concern yourself with why no one cares anymore about what you and everyone you represent has to say.
