This is Jonathan Ross. He's the ICE agent who shot and murdered Renee Good in cold blood 170 days ago. He has yet to be arrested and indicted for his crime.
The main paragraph in the new Comey indictment from Ellis Boyle and Matthew Petracca is one of the most embarrassing and humiliating passages of legal text I've ever read
Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia—
AOC: Wah wah wah.
We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no. Republicans have fought for partisan gerrymanders across the United States of America. And these are the rules that they have set.
And so if the Republican Party wanted to start this, they did this in North Carolina. They drew out three Democratic members of Congress in North Carolina. They did it in Texas.
What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over, doesn’t fight, and takes everything sitting down. And what they’re mad at right now is that we are here in a new day. And we have been asking the Democratic Party to stand up and fight, and now they did—and now the Republican Party doesn’t like the fact that they are fighting against someone who actually will stand up for the American people.
So if Republicans decide that they would like to revisit a ban on partisan gerrymandering, I welcome them. We have the bill right here to end this all today. But they don’t want to, because they like pursuing and continuing to enact an unfair electoral landscape. And so we have an obligation to defend ourselves.
@stephenasmith Umm, the greatest women’s coach in history is definitely not Geno! Pat Summitt is, was and always will be the greatest NCAA basketball coach(both men and women) of all time!
Facts are important.
Going to war with a country, then immediately floating the idea of lifting sanctions on its oil to prevent your own economic collapse, is the definition of strategic failure
