Politics 2020

Yes. Johnson is fired again.

My only consolation is that [Sleezebag] is costing him a lot of money, because he owns a manufacturing  business.


Tulsi dropped out of the race in favor of Biden. I think she's probably thinking more about saving lives than changing minds. A grass roots campaign is antithetical to a quarantine, and as a national guard medic she will likely be called up. She's been busy lately with a bill for a $1,000/month emergency payout. I wonder if endorsing Joe was part of the price to get something passed.

Senator Richard Burr, NC, is also fired, BTW.

Mind, I can't fire him, since I swore almost 20 years ago to never vote for any Republican who hadn't denounced the Cheney bund for anything, ever - but he's double-fired, and should go to prison for insider trading...

[Rusty Edge]

You pre-empted me.

[Buster's Uncle]

It strikes me as a good thing when we fire senators, if only we could make it stick...

[Buster's Uncle]

p.s.  Mitch McConnel rates a fifty-fired post...

[Buster's Uncle]

Oh, looks like Sen. Kelly Loeffler, R, GA, did the same thing, and is also fired and hopefully going to jail.

[Buster's Uncle]

Add Sen. Jim Inhofe R, OK, and yes, Ron Johnson, who must be tired from getting fired so often.

[Buster's Uncle]

...Senator Dianne Feinstein, D, CA - throw her on the fire with the rest.  Fired...

[Buster's Uncle]

-From what I'm seeing this morning, it's possible I may have been a but too hasty with the later three.  Time and further investigation will tell.  Burr and Loeffler still look incredibly guilty, though.

[Rusty Edge]

I understand that Feinstein has her assets in blind trust ( as all professional politicians should be). So she probably isn't culpable.

That said, I'm wondering what Jared did while [Sleezebag] was talking about "Only 15 cases!"

Don't get me wrong, I'm not thinking that all Democrats are above personal enrichment, even though I have sadly come to believe that Justin Amash was the only elected Republican in the federal government with ethical principles. EVERYBODY in government should be scrutinized.

[Buster's Uncle]

Definitely Jared, Eric, and Jr...

[Geo]

Okay, what's this all about? Senator impeachments?

[Buster's Uncle]

One can only hope.  At least two US senators clearly engaged in insider trading after a secret briefing on the Covid19 threat.  They not only failed to warn the public, they promptly engaged in self-dealing stock sales.  Not only is that disqualifying for holding their offices, it's illegal, and they should go to prison.

[Rusty Edge]

I'm watching news coverage, and there are repeated references to "misinformation" coming from the presidential press conferences.

There is an established term for this - PROPOGANDA

ANYone in TV news mentioning that the Pig lies when his lips move?  Who?

They are derelict in their duty to carry those mid-day pressers live, frankly.  They are news, but should be covered that afternoon, when fact-checking has taken place and the lies/unfacts can be covered - this would not be mere political journalism, so many lives being at stake.  They aid his negligent mass-homicide when they enable him w/ live coverage.  That guy at NBC IS a terrible journalist - they all are, only for the opposite reason than the Pig claims.
