Ironhorse Resists. ”A reminder that USDA guidelines governing pork will soon take full effect. Toenails, hairs, sexual organs & bladders will be ok & plant employees w/no training will replace federal, public inspectors. The biggest rules change in 50 yrs will soon apply to beef also.” This is one way to push people to a plant base diet. Do you have an article or any other info about this? I can't find any. But if true, this is disgusting.

”Put another way, how likely is it, based on what we know of @realdonaldtrump that he would say this to his lawyers: “Sure, Mulvaney & Bolton & all the documents we’ve withheld would clear me, but allowing their disclosure would weaken future presidents, so we just can’t do it!”

linkABC News “Most expect fair trial for Trump; 7 in 10 say let aides testify (POLL)”“Seven in 10 Americans in a new ABC News/Washington Post poll say President Donald Trump should allow his top aides to testify in a Senate trial on the impeachment charges against him, and six in 10 expect a fair trial in the Senate, two points of majority agreement -- across party lines -- in the otherwise divisive impeachment saga. More than half, 55%, also say Trump was treated fairly in the House Intelligence and Judiciary Committee hearings that led to the articles of impeachment against him. But partisan divisions on this question are vast, as they are on most other impeachment issues. The public continues to split essentially evenly on whether or not Trump should be impeached and removed from office, with 49% in favor, 46% opposed in this poll, produced for ABC News by Langer Research Associates. That’s virtually identical to the 49%-47% division in an ABC News/Washington Post poll in late October.”

( not ) of course it does it’s all hand in hand with the tax cuts for big corporations & the trade war to eliminate small competition for the large corporations throwing money around. It’s all the path to Plutocracy we, as a nation have been there done that before ( industrial revolution ) and moved on from it. Guess we are really going backwards in the way ( way ) back machine

Manu Raju...
”McConnell rejects Schumer call for four witnesses, criticizing Schumer for releasing letter and “short circuiting” talks. “It is not the Senate’s job to leap into the breach and search desperately for ways to “get to ‘guilty.’ That would hardly be impartial justice.”
”The fact that my colleague is already desperate to sign up the Senate for new fact-finding… which House Democrats themselves were too impatient to see through… well, that suggests something to me...”
“It suggests that even Democrats who do not like this president are beginning to realize how dramatically insufficient the House’s rushed process has been.”
“McConnell says having these live witnesses as Schumer suggests would create a “nightmarish precedent” for the Senate, arguing it’s not the role of the Senate to do fact-finding and investigating”
Random response/question.

”Rudy Giuliani is not America's wacky uncle. He's THE PERSONAL ATTORNEY FOR THE PRESIDENT
Rudy is now suggesting Biden orchestrated the poisoning of a former Ukrainian official who died and then was brought back to life and then was poisoned again and brought back to life again”
There are a lot of things I hate about trump and what he has done , but I really hate that he has given weasels like this guy a public voice.
Or maybe he is laying the ground work that he is incompetent to stand trial when he is finally charged for his crimes.
Or as Alexandra Chalupa puts it..
”Rudy Giuliani must feel the law is closing in on him.
No one in their right mind will buy the Kremlin propaganda he’s peddling so is this his next tactic, to show he’s lost his mind?
If he plans to plead insanity, he’s building quite the case for himself.”

Those SOBs are trying to take us back 100 years in public health and social services. If your citizens are generally under-educated (public schools), hungry and/or malnourished, and overworked, they are much less likely physically and mentally able to revolt against the government. It's not a bug, it's a feature.

Unfortunately people are ‘buying the Kremlin propaganda’ Rudy is also destroying Marie Yovanovitch's reputation..... Without the House following through with the needed witnesses the accusations will stand! I hope Bolton, Pompeo, McGahn and all the others choke on their next meal or the one after! They have the info that is needed!!

This guy Jonathan Freeland in the Guardian UK wrote an opinion piece about the big labor loss in the recent UK election. A guy in the US thought this should be read by all Democrats. So ,even though I’m a moderate, I am a Democrat, I read it. At first I didn’t quite see how it applied to our election. But then I saw it. “This is a repudiation of Corbynism. Labour needs to ditch the politics of the sect”From the article... “We can be angry at the Tories for winning this election, but we must feel an equal rage for the people who let them do it. I am speaking of those who led the main party of opposition down a blind alley that ended in Labour’s worst election performance since the 1930s – a performance that broke new records for failure. & “Of course, this relates not just to Corbyn but Corbynism. For the last four years, Labour has been in thrall to the notion that it’s better to have a manifesto you can feel proud of, a programme that calls itself radical, than to devise one that might have a chance of winning. Some even argued that, “win or lose”, Corbyn achieved much simply by offering a genuinely socialist plan – in contrast with Labour’s 1997 offer, which was so boringly modest and incremental. Well, guess what. Labour’s “radical” manifesto of 2019 achieved precisely nothing. Not one proposal in it will be implemented, not one pound in it will be spent. It is worthless. And if judged not by the academic standard of “expanding the discourse”, but by the hard, practical measure of improving actual people’s actual lives, those hate figures of Corbynism – Tony Blair and Gordon Brown – achieved more in four hours than Corbyn achieved in four years. Why? Because they did what it took to win power. That’s what a political party is for. It’s not a hobby; it’s not a pressure group that exists to open the Overton window a little wider; it’s not an association for making friends or hosting stimulating conversations and seminars; it’s not “a 30-year project”. Its purpose is to win and exercise power in the here and now. It is either a plausible vehicle for government or it is nothing.“ That was beyond the reach of the faction ruling Labour. Not for them the electoral basics of reassurance and credibility. They came up with a manifesto more stuffed with giveaways than Santa’s grotto, and about as believable. The voter who quite liked the extra sugar in their tea represented by, say, free tuition fees, gagged when the sweetener of discounted rail fares, Waspi compensation, free broadband and a promised £6,700 a year to every family were all spooned into the cup. Labour’s ruling elite forgot that parties of the left are held to a higher standard than those committed to the status quo: to change people’s lives and spend their money, first you must win their trust. That obligation is even spelled out in Labour’s constitution, which insists that “Labour seeks the trust of the people to govern.” Instead, the leadership clique dragged around their 1970s baggage and arcane ideological obsessions – the antisemitism arose not by accident, but as the inevitable outgrowth of a strain of left conspiracist thinking – that marked them out as cranks, unfit to run the country. To warn of this danger and sound the alarm was to be instantly howled down as a Blairite, a centrist, a red Tory. On social media, a group of outriders policed the conversation, unleashing a pile-on of mockery and denunciation on anyone guilty of pointing out that the emperor seemed to be unnervingly lacking in clothes. (Then they affected surprise when those they’d told to “fuck off and join the Tories” didn’t come running to help.) The tragedy of this is measured in the idealistic young volunteers who signed up for a new and necessary movement in 2015, but whose faith was abused by a clique of hard-left sectarian dinosaurs – and, most important, it is measured in the millions who needed a social democratic government and now won’t get one.“ & “We’ll have a clue whether it’ll take a fifth – or sixth – defeat for the penny to drop when Labour selects a new leader. Will it look for someone who ticks all the ideological boxes, who’s as sound and “radical” as Corbyn, or will it look for someone who can win? Underneath that is a larger question: are you in politics to control the Labour party, or to win power? If the honest answer is the former, then get out of the way. Go back to your student unions and your pub meetings and give Labour back to those who seek the power of government – and are fit to wield it.”
