North of San Francisco had an earthquake, with damages... Hope she is ok! Hopefully she's just busy with the holidays. The entire board has been really slow the last couple of weeks. |

They are an embarrassment .. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Donald Trump Jr. and other MAGA Republicans slam Zelenskyy as ‘welfare queen’ amid US visit2022/12/21 Right-wing Republicans slammed aid to Ukraine even as President Volodymyr Zelenskyy arrived in the U.S. Wednesday for a historic visit seeking more help to repel the brutal Russian invasion. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a staunch supporter of former President Donald Trump, denounced Zelenskyy as America’s “shadow president” and Ukraine as the “51st state” in an ugly outburst against the key U.S. ally. Greene, R-Ga., also trashed Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell on Wednesday as a turncoat who is pushing a massive compromise end-of-year spending bill so “he can hand a $47 BILLION check” to Zelenskyy. “It’s like the American people are raped everyday at the hands of their own elected leaders,” Greene tweeted. Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., critically told her followers that the spending bill includes billions for Ukraine. “Yes, really,” she added. Donald Trump Jr. took an even harsher line at Zelenskyy, who is likely to receive a rapturous reception from the majority of lawmakers on both sides of the aisle. “Zelensky(y) is basically an ungrateful international welfare queen,” the former president’s son tweeted. Mainstream Republican leaders have mostly lined up behind President Joe Biden’s effort to back Zelenskyy, a push that would appear to be firmly in line with historic GOP backing of a muscular American foreign policy. McConnell welcomed Zelenskyy with open arms and has vowed to continue to keep up the support, noting that the U.S. has a key geopolitical interest in countering Russia. nordot.app/978398801023172608 |

Republicans used to care about defending democracy in places around the world. heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/december-21-2022?r=1f0orz&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=emailCongress has proposed $44 billion in aid in the new omnibus funding package, bringing the U.S. package so far to more than $100 billion in military and humanitarian aid over four spending packages. While a few right-wing Republicans are complaining about this spending, it is worth noting that the U.S. annual defense budget Congress passed earlier this month was $858 billion.
This evening, Zelensky spoke to a joint meeting of the Congress, where the members greeted him with a standing ovation (with the pointed exception of some right-wing House members). He described Ukraine’s defense as a battle between democracy and authoritarianism across the globe, and assured Americans, “Your money is not charity. It’s an investment in the global security and democracy that we handle in the most responsible way.” |

More of an embarrassment since it seems Zelenskyy heard or was told about the "welfare queen" comments!!
Amazing that Zelenskyy is able to give a full speach to our Congress in English when MTG, Loren Boebert AND TFG have great difficulty speaking their native language, let alone a second. BTW: I am sure English is probably at least Zelenskyy's third language after Ukrainian and Russoan...
Shame on them!!

Have we talked about this?  This is such a disgrace, and anyone who admitted to this huge lie that the majority of Fox News viewers/Trump supporters believed should be fired immediately. Yet all my friends and family on the right like to go on and on about how any news that doesn't come from Fox is fake news. This just makes my blood boil: www.yahoo.com/news/testimony-hannity-other-fox-employees-131646430.html |

Just T not here but I did read it the other day... We all said 'they knew' as did former. On another note David Shoen the lawyer for the second impeachment.. Went head to head with Ari Melber on MSNBC the other night. Melber won.. Shoen insisted that former still 'truly' believes that he won... How delusional he/they are!! It gets loud, very loud!! Or read it below www.rawstory.com/watch-ari-melber-fact-checks-donald-trump-s-impeachment-lawyer/

I don’t understand how they can keep the name news if they are just going to knowing tell lies. It’s obviously not even an opinion if they know that it wasn’t true. If they say well in my opinion that’s a bit different but to knowingly lie and spread lies while saying you are a new station or a news show is just wrong. For them to be able to wiggle out of slander lawsuits because of this really. They mislead millions of people and continue to do so. |

This is what we got when Ronny Reagan got rid of the Fairness Doctrine when news agencies had to report fair and fact based news. Fox News personalities literally use the defense in court that they are an entertainment outlet and no sane person would believe them. Because it's just for funsies, right? What Carlson says aren't actual facts.. |

He is the father of the Homeless problem, then he went and and trampled through the federal laws so that more money could go to the rich. Because he had a charming personality people just adored him. My standard response to anything about Reagan used to be, “He's an ACTOR”. How stupid do you have to be to not see that? |

I was not educated in economics and naive about human nature so I bought into the trickle down bullshit. And I had had many years of my father telling me all the politicians lied ( which often appears to be true ) so I wasn’t so sure it mattered. Then I saw the devastation to family farming in New York State. How fast the corporations ate up those family farms. Then I took a micro economics class in college and was like whoa so that’s why that happened. Well damn. I’m sorry. |

I saw the devastation to those farms first hand when the large corporations took over. There were more than a few suicides when the farmers lost everything. Trickle Down is pure BS. Everyone knows that now but they told that big lie for long enough to do damage to this country that we will never fully recover from. |

Not much will ever equal gov Abbott's depravity....
Christmas Eve he had threes busses of immigrants from Texas, dropped at the Naval Observatory in 10° temps, some only in T-shirts ...
Christmas Eve, no room in the in... So cruel...
Too bad he couldn't be welcoming like the family in Buffalo NY. A person knocked on their door Christmas Eve asking to borrow a shovel. Nine visitors from Korea and their driver were stranded in the snow trying to get to Niagara Falls. The NY couple said, no come in, get warm. They housed and fed total strangers in their home for two nights...
They now are saying they have new family members...
