“House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) on Thursday harshly criticized Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) for suggesting that vote-by-mail should be expanded during the coronavirus pandemic, arguing that elected officials should instead be focused on combating the virus and reopening the economy.”

Fascists hate democracy.

Trump: ‘I am the least racist person there is anywhere in the world’

Kudos to Rep. Katie Porter…hope you will be in the Covid Relief Oversight Committee!

Additionally, Porter’s office analyzed the federal government contract information, and found that many of the U.S. contracts for medical supplies will not completed until September of October.

So there is a possibility that Trump Regime’s failure to respond to Covid in time did NOT only cause the preventable deaths of Americans BUT it will potentially cause MORE deaths in medical personnels/responsers and other non-Covid patients also!

Great Job Trumpy…in killing Americans needlessly!

The worst of them are - ya. But remember this. To manipulate you both sides - both the left and the right - manipulate you by making you believe the ‘worst of them’ is ‘most of them’. That’s just not the case.

Be smart. Learn from your mistakes.

Ok then!
Last thing I wanna do is mess up her reelection. Katie is exactly the sort of whip smart no bullshit person I want to see in government and there are damn few like her.

One of two things that explain the sudden downplaying of the need for ventilators. See, it is all good, all those medical folks just panicked. So selling them at steep profit and sending them over seas was a no brainer of an opportunity.

Another one from your neck of the woods – Deb Haaland in NM. I donate to her, and love what she’s all about.

Fascism is the merger of government with business.

And I fear trump is much worse than just a “moron”

Love to see her as AG under Biden.

I’m surprised Porter didn’t find that Trump had increased tariffs on all imports of PPE and medical equipment, because … something, something, China and Europe unfair, I’m great, yada, yada, yada.

Evan Mecham wasn’t devious enough to lie outright. Ignorance of the law nailed him. He did not realize taking money from his inaugual fund and using that money to prop up his car dealership was illegal.
Fife was devious. And smart. He got embroiled in a real estate-shady land deal just before becoming governor but it did cost him a couple years of freedom. John McCain nearly lost his career in the deal as well. I don’t recall the detail but it was a huge scandal here.

Watching Katie Porter at a Congressional hearing is like a master class in accountability.

When the dust settles, the 40% number will be seen to be much lower. Youngsters in this country are much less engaged politically.

Even my son (who is a good guy politically) is about 10% as interested in politics as older people.

An anecdote:

I am retirement age. My wife and I were voting in the 2010 Congressional elections. We were talking in Spanish and something made me turn my head.

I then saw a disconcerted man staring at me…which prompted me to look around:

My wife and I were among the youngest people in line.

She’d have to fight off Kamala Harris for nomination/appointment as AG in a Biden administration.

Porter or Harris, either one. With no holds barred … and Bill Barr held (along with the crime family he protects).

The battle continues between facts and the fat orange gasbag. Whatever seeps out of it is, by definition, gas light. And so will it ever be. Even if we manage to eject this thing from the WH in November the treason party is committed to covering this shit up for eternity.
