2 Threaded Spouts
Laurence Tribe & others have surmised that there's about $600billion in frozen Russian assets (cash) scattered among the G7 countries and western Europe. Mr. Tribe proposes using those funds to rebuild Ukraine since reparations from Russia will be unlikely. Goddamned good idea. It's a start.

The DOJ indictment of Donald Trump & six co-conspirators is finally a step in the right direction, but it is only a first step. Until the conspirators are in prison, then nothing has really happened to thwart the ongoing attempt by the GOP to end American democracy. Miles to go before we sleep...

To progressive Democrats not completely satisfied w/ the pace of certain aspects of the Biden administration, please keep in mind that he has accomplished tremendous good in the face of open conspiracy by the GOP. The US only returns to health one step at a time, & the 1st step is to reelect Biden.

Our discourse needs to reflect the reality of the current political paradigm — it’s not Democrat / Liberal / Progressive vs. Republican / Conservative.
It's pro-democracy vs. fascism.

While driving through this park, winding around hairpin turns, it rained off and on in the sunshine. We came around a bend to spot THIS in all it's glory over the canyon. Such beauty made me cry.

I am happy to see Rachel Maddow shedding light on America's wealthy elites previously pushing fascism here in the 1930s. But, at this current moment of existential crisis for US democracy, Maddow basically bowing out of present day news coverage really looks & feels like self-censorship.

One of the glaring characteristics of every single GOP politician at the national level is that their "messaging" is all handled by the party's "Central Committee", so that the talking points of the day are hashed out in secret & then everyone of the GOP monkeys gets on Fox News to parrot the line.

The funniest thing about the DeSantis campaign & his billionaire donors blaming the Mainstream Media for lil' Ronnie's abysmal campaign showing is that the MSM has bent over backwards for a year to say only good things about DeSantis & are by far his biggest supporters. People just hate his guts.

The 3 biggest years for business formation in America, ever
1) 2021
2) 2023
3) 2022
Funny, those are the same 3 years Joe Biden has been in office. Huh. 🤔

Still waiting to see some intrepid political reporter dig into what exactly Ron DeSantis did with all those underage students during his brief tenure as a high school teacher? It must be very, very bad or Ronnie would not have expunged it completely from his resume...

So who is actually paying for all of those tickets for the empty seats in theaters showing the Qanon film "Sound Of Freedom"? Thiel, Koch, Crow, Ginni Thomas, Putin? Curious journalistic minds would be well-served to follow the money...

Supreme Court justices nominated by a president who lost the popular vote and confirmed by Senators representing less than half the country have eliminated abortion rights, green-lighted anti-LGBTQ discrimination, and ended affirmative action
In one year!

This year's 4th of July celebration will be the most empty in our country's history: witness the loss of women's equal rights, legal fig leaf for discrimination, abandonment of students, gun crisis, Putin's purchase of GOP & the Jan 6th coup conspirators all free as a bird. Nothing here to celebrate

So now the excuse from the plaintiffs in the fake website discrimination case is that the name of the straight, married guy who never requested the work in the first place was given to them by "trolls"? The Nazgul were unavailable for comment...

The administration's view that adding members to the Supreme Court would "politicize" it is naive & inaccurate. 13 or 15 Justices would help insulate it from politicization as a smaller percentage of the court could be named by any President.

Little Ronnie DeSantis has been blatantly violating election finance laws & human trafficking laws for months and years, and yet he is still allowed to run all over the country campaigning & never hears a word from any law enforcement agency?

I could delve deeper into this Harris Poll, but looking at the range of questions & responses, this seems to be highly selective data designed to specifically favor the GOP. Witness the Army, Police & FBI are America's most favorable institutions. Highly conservative bias IMO.
10:31 AM - Jun 19, 2023
Further Harris Poll. The plethora of economic questions seems designed to tilt the results in a desired direction. Note that Trump, RFK Jr, Musk & DeSantis are "most favorable public figures". Only in the MAGA universe. Those results alone are sufficient to question the results.
10:29 AM - Jun 19, 2023
Here is the Harris poll of 2,090 Americans that Apple News cites from The Hill. Conspicuously absent is how many Dems & GOP were polled. Looking at all questions, it certainly seems like the responses are weighted towards the GOP (see tax question). https://harvardharrispoll....

The growing mainstream media hysteria to pardon Trump to "heal the country" is so dumb. To heal the country the the virus must be cured with long prison sentences, for Trump & all of his GOP co-conspirators. Then we can heal...

🚨 Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) has vetoed more than $3M in flood control for counties historically known for supporting Democrats over Republicans.
Which counties? Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach counties, or 28% of Florida’s population.

Kind of sad that so much commentary in the MSM on the 50 year blatant crime spree of Mafioso Trump is littered w/ discussion that "he is the 1st former President to ever face such charges" etc. No kidding its unprecedented, he is the first career criminal & Russian spy to ever be President.
10:25 AM - Jun 09, 2023
Remember that Trump being indicted or imprisoned is not the end- it needs to be only the beginning. He had a hell of a lot of help besides Putin in planning and executing his coup attempt & the every single conspirator needs to do serious jail time...

Senator Joe Manchin has a point about student loan forgiveness. It would make sense for every loan recipient to pay back some of their loan, while the rest is forgiven. So why not the amount Joe paid in tuition when he went to West Virginia U.? Joe Manchin paid $232 tuition per semester.

Of the hundreds & hundreds of federal crimes outlined in the January 6th Committee's voluminous report, do you know how many have not been followed up by the Justice Department?
All of them.

Dangerous anachronisms in US democracy that should be abolished yesterday: the electoral college, Presidential pardons, the filibuster, lifetime SC justices & more than 2 weeks vacation for members of congress (& let 'em pay for their healthcare too).

Brett Favre has a personal net worth of $90 million. But, not only would he not pay the promised $8.6 M for the Southern Miss project, but he grifted $1.1 M personally of additional welfare funds for fake speaking engagements that never occurred. Lock him up...

Former Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant & Brett Favre are in so deep in the state's embezzlement scandal of welfare funds that Sports Illustrated has written this massive piece on the crimes:
