There appears to be no witness to call. As he said, he's

citizens without some evidence. That evid...See More

Big Hollywood shows their hypocrisy again

by Tim Finnegan

Feb 26, 2017

Let's give it up for mysoginst Casey Afleck, winner of the best actor oscar. Apparently, sexual harassment lets you win oscars (and the presidency in the case of trump) ... when will the 1&37; in Hollywood come out against their own? Why is it ok to honor actors/actresses who continue this war on women? Is it because Casey likes the Ds? So the ...See More

T.E.C. - Iowa You are overgeneralizing with the “when will the 1&37; in Hollywood come out against their own?” There are plenty in Hollywood and elsewhere who have objected to Casey Affleck's award. On the other hand, should he be punished for what are currently “allegations?”

Then again, if you dislike the misogyny that is endemic in Americ...See More

Superdelegates give Bernie another beatdown

by Tim Finngan

Feb 26, 2017

Looks like Bernie democrats took another blow. The DNC rejected B's candidate for head of the DNC. Looks like Bernie won't be getting early access to questions next year.

Instead, they chose the Clinton/Obama candidate Perez. Will they continue the coastal strategy and fawning over big Hollywood that cost Hillary the election? Or will they...See More

Sean Spicer and Glenn Thrush (NYT journalist) are in a Twitter spat over a story that evidently gets Sean's birthplace wrong.

Gotta love the Twitter ;-)

During his confirmation hearing for EPA administrator, Scott Pruitt was asked this question by Senator Cory Booker:

“Have you ever conducted business using your personal email accounts, nonofficial Oklahoma Attorney General email accounts, text messages, instant messenger, voicemails, or any other medium?”

Scott Pruitt's answe...See More

"A draft of the House Republicans' bill to repeal Obamacare would replace its subsidies with less generous tax credits, increase the amount insurers could charge older Americans and effectively eliminate Medicaid for low-income adults.

California tries to silence a female senator

by Tim Finnegan

yesterday, 2017

Similar to the GOP and Elizabeth Warren, CA is trying to silence female senators on the floor. State Senator Ricardo Lara not only cut off the microphone of Janet Nguyen, but also had sergeants-at-arms remove her. I wonder if a white male would have been able to continue his statement?

Yet, she persisted.

One American champion is voicing her opposition to “women’s oppression” by boycotting the women’s world chess championship in Iran rather than bow to Iranian demands that she wear a hijab, or headscarf.

“By participating, I would be forced to submit to forms of oppression designed specifically for women,” Nazí Paikidze insiste...See More
