8 years ago. Probably my favorite gig I ever had. Loved playing at Sportsmans Club and having the privilege of Reanimator of @SFRupdates (one of my favorite all time producers) join in was a blast!
I'll tell you this: None of us like Mitch McConnell because of the horrible things he's said and done as Senator.
But he had a medical incident today, and I saw a lot of well-wishers on our side. As it should be.
But when Senator John Fetterman had a medical episode, there were legions of Republicans who made fun and mocked him.
We are NOT the same.
My buddy here has been greeting me with his presence every day for the past couple of days. He enjoys jazz, respects the cats, and loves trash. His name is Walter.
BREAKING: Sen. Dick Durbin goes nuclear on the Supreme Court's blatant corruption after Republican Chief Justice John Roberts refuses to appear for a hearing on the court's recent scandals, Durbin asks: "How low can the court go?"
Justice Roberts himself is in hot water after it was revealed that his wife raked in millions of dollars from law firms with business before the court — the definition of a conflict of interest.
On top of that, Clarence Thomas has been caught taking bribes in the form of luxury travel, trips to resorts, and sweetheart real estate deals from a Republican billionaire. Neil Gorsuch has been lining his pockets with crooked property sales. Brett Kavanaugh is a credibly accused sexual predator.
"We wouldn’t tolerate this from a city council member or an alderman," said Durbin. "It falls short of ethical standards we expect of any public servant in America and, yet, the Supreme Court won’t even acknowledge it’s a problem.”
The GOP and its pet judges adamantly oppose any new code of ethics for the Supreme Court. The reason is obvious: personal riches and immunity to both the law and basic morality are the rewards conservative justices expect for their rigid commitment to the Republican Party's policy preferences.
The Supreme Court is undergoing a historic crisis of confidence and unless action is taken immediately it will lose all legitimacy as an institution. America cannot allow this corruption to fester.
Retweet if you demand that the Supreme Court be held to higher ethical standards!
