I fantasize about the day the Head Crook gets a view with bars. However, remembering Nixon’s pardon “for the good of the country” and Ollie North taking the legal bullet for Iran Contra, and sigh Scooter Libby, I continue to feel that’s a bridge too far and should not hold my breath.
Complicating the issue to our detriment is the current 50-50 makeup of Congress, especially if the Head Crook ever returns to WH, where the bad guys will be trying to toss the good guys in jail.

@Huntn00 @flexghost Great questions. Next time I see my Mormon relatives I will ask. There's a graduation party in June, so I will have a chance. They are SUPER Mo's and are always telling me how wonderful their church is and all the great things it does. I will have to find a non-aggressive way to ask.

The worst part about today’s GOP, better said Slimey Newt’s GOP that has lived on since the 90’s , is that they try hard to pretend they are patriots, defenders of democracy and the Constitution while continuously working to undermine it for the sake of their hold on power. The biggest threat to them is truth, it’s their liability. “We don’t need no stink’n truth.”

This means a lot, coming from a racist traitor and insurrectionist like #ChipRoy
U.S. Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) is demanding the Dept. of Defense rescind a memo authorizing LGBTQ Pride celebrations on military installations, and says Congress should defund America’s Armed Forces if it refuses.
“What’s next, rainbow uniforms during pride month?” Roy asked on social media and in a statement to Fox News.

As Ron #DeSantis continues his authoritarian push, #Disney has decided not to move forward with a planned $1B office complex that would have brought 2,000+ jobs to Orlando with an average salary of $120K.
Electing #Republicans has consequences.

A six week ban is essentially a total ban since many women don’t know they are pregnant by six weeks, which could be a week or two after a missed period at most and when you’re busy you might not notice right away.

🚨The media is not making a big enough deal about Marjorie Taylor Greene’s racist dog whistle attacks against Black Representative Jamaal Bowman, saying he’s “aggressive” and physically intimidating.
Language like that by white women has gotten Black men killed and she knows it.

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: Nearly three dozen police deputies have been ordered to come in for questioning to show their tattoos.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff Department is attempting to root out any officers who are members of deputy gangs.
The officers must also give up the names of any other deputies similarly sporting ink connecting them to the gangs.
The demand came Friday in a letter sent by county Inspector General Max Huntsman to 35 deputies suspected of being members of either the Executioners, which operates out of the Compton station, or the Banditos, which operates out of the East L.A. station.
The names of the deputies have not been released to the public, but Huntsman said they were a subset of the 41 deputies he identified as suspected gang members last year.
“The Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department conducted incomplete internal affairs investigations into the Banditos and Executioners, failing to identify all members.
This is a great start.
Police departments all over America should also look for
-Proud Boy tattoos
-Oath Keeper tattoos
-white supremacy symbols
Hopefully this is just the beginning.

You know if the people of Florida keep voting in this Ass Hat they kind of deserve him. It’s too bad he rest of the Country does not, and that every State is supposed to be part of Team America but lately many seems to be in residing in GiveMe GiveMe Screw the Team Land. :(

Remember, this is also the week we learned Ron DeSantis is diverting state pension and investment funds into private equity firms that -- wait for it -- donate to his campaign.
Firms described as having "low performance and high fees."

What are Jim Jordan's congressional accomplishments over the last 16 years?
That's a tough question. I mean, he has accomplished a lot of things, like:
- Wearing a jacket only when absolutely necessary
- Yelling at witnesses during hearings
- Spreading conspiracy theories about the 2020 election
- Being one of Donald Trump's most loyal defenders
- Getting sued by former wrestlers for ignoring sexual abuse allegations
So yeah, he has been very busy and productive. I'm sure his constituents are proud of him.

DeSantis is busy engaging in culture wars with the largest employer in the state, knee-capping its agriculture and construction industries, and ensuring that its students get the least-comprehensive education possible. Doesn't seem very business-friendly to me. Not that Republicans are ever good at anything they get credit for.
