We have all just been eye-witnesses to a good old-fashioned Greek tragedy. Unfortunately, it will happen again and again because no lessons get learned.
Here’s what I want to know: Why did Al Franken and Katie Hill have to resign but Matt Gaetz and Jim Jordan are still in Congress?

Total student loan debt that would have been erased for millions of Americans: $400 billion

Total cost of the Trump tax cuts that largely benefited the wealthy and corporations: $1.9 trillion

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Wait a sec. Let me get this straight. Politico and WaPo reported that Leonard Leo’s group instructed Kellyanne Conway’s Polling Company to “give” Ginni Thomas’s “consulting” company “another $25K” with “No mention of Ginni, of course.” Then Conway billed Leo for that $25K the same day? So, Leo was funneling cash to a Supreme Court justice’s wife through Conway’s company?!

28 August 1940 | The Germans murdered in Auschwitz a Polish priest Leon Poeplau.

During the war, Fr. Poeplau refused to sign the German Volksliste. He was arrested for his activities in the resistance.

He was incarcerated in Auschwitz on 15 August 1940.

He was murdered in front of other prisoners for stepping out of the ranks during a roll call to offer priestly service to the dying, disregarding the beatings of the guards.

Most likely the first priest killed in Auschwitz.

You might not know this, but if you put “racism” into a web dictionary, it brings up a picture of North Florida. Sorry if this offends anyone, but Jacksonville is a crap hole crawling with rednecks and racists. Move west to Lake City and it’s 1850 still. Everyone thinks St. Augustine is a great town, which it is until you get to the west side. The education system in Florida might as well not even exist so 50% of the people grow up there not learning a damn thing. And it’s getting worse.

#phonecall #trump I listened to as much of that phone call as I could tolerate. I have new respect for Brad Raffensberger. Trump overwhelms with verbal diarrhea and streams of figures that came from who knows where. I’m sure he was fully convinced it was all going to go his way if he just talked long enough and loudly enough to wear everybody down.
Why are they even allowed to drive?
