I cannot believe that Rossâs role running the Bank of Cyprus hasnât already been investigated.

I am guessing it is a part of the fun house ride that is the investigation into the Trump administration.

âExecutive branch officials discussing important issues prior to formulating policy is evidence of good government, and the Secretaryâs previous testimony before Congress is consistent with that fact.â
So Reps think interdepartmental lying and collusion is âgood government?â

Thanks for this. I had heard the discussion on counting citizens instead of residents in the area where there are prisons. Even though prisoners donât get to vote they should be accounted for since they are residing within a Congressional district and federal/state monies are used to keep them there.
I wonder what those living in less immigrant infested waters would gain?( this is me being snarky) What help are they not getting that they think they should be getting?

This is why Republicans are so afraid that Democrats will gain control of one or both houses.

Donât know if it satisfies the elements of fraud (the losers in the transaction werenât parties to the conversation, and the misleading came later), but two counts (at least) of lying to Congress (perjury, if under oath, but a felony either way) look like slam dunks. Caveat: IANLAL, praise be to the FSM.

Iâm fairly confident that Mueller is all over that, and it will be coming out sooner than later. There are a lot of dots to connect when so much money is flowing between so many oligarchs, billionaires, banks, offshore holdings, real estate, laundering schemes, and crass, grifting enablers like Ross and Trump.
Thatâs what I was referring to with âconflict holdingsâ. And yes, the mere fact that isnât itself a full-throated investigation is unbelievable. The guy has his hands in dirty money all over the world, and is running our Commerce Department. Talk about the fox running the henhouse⌠or the lunatics running the asylum. Either way, not good for the rest of us.
It feels like an international mob takeover of our government and economy. Has probably been ongoing for quite some time, but this is the most blatant Iâve ever seen it.
Oh the irony of that choice⌠When you consider the racist/slave owning roots of the SPBâs author, and the âmissing stanzaâ that was basically tossing a racist screw you to the freed/runaway slaves who fought against their former masters⌠yeah.
They say history is written by the victors. Ours certainly was. It doesnât take much to demonize a distant king. Yes, George was a mad king, over-taxed the colonies (not just ours), suffered royal hubris, etc. But Britain was also against slavery. And was trying to end it in the colonies.
Short version of that history: it was slavers that revolted and formed their own country. Most of the ârevered founding fathersâ were slaveholders. In order to finally wrest control from them required a bloody civil war. Thatâs our true history. And that fight, obviously, still continues to this dayâŚ
[ETA] So, yeah. Asking a black man to proudly stand for a song that was written to reinforce the slaverâs ideals isnât exactly a winning idea.
