And we keep playing by their rules. I'm ultra, ultra competitive and I will even cheat to win except if it means hurting someone, unless he's as big as I am and then no holds barred. 

We need to give them a taste of their own medicine! Old men like Biden has too much wisdom and patience for the nasty business. Get AOC and her buddies to formulate strategy. And let Katie Porter manage them!

Guiliani law license suspended!

?????

Now to be fair, the crimes he's guilty of should apply to all of the republicans and democrats in the houses who are lawyers who trafficked in the same way. Vampire lawyers shouldn't be isolated because who knows what mischief they get up to?

I think if you give Katie Porter a white board and a marker she can get to the bottom of anything.

Love Rep. Porter in her committee hearings for her tough questioning, including asking  hearing representatives to do math problems--has everyone eating crow.

Not everyone is aware she is an American law professor and attorney, and interned for Sen.Chuck Grassley.  We need more members like her in Congress instead of Gates and MTGreen ---need people who can get things done!

The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Mark Milley, responded sharply to questions from Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., on Wednesday about the examination of critical race theory in the U.S. military.

"I've read Mao Zedong. I've read Karl Marx. I've read Lenin. That doesn't make me a communist. So what is wrong with understanding — having some situational understanding about the country for which we are here to defend?" Milley said.

He continued brusquely: "And I personally find it offensive that we are accusing the United States military, our general officers, our commissioned, noncommissioned officers of being, quote, 'woke' or something else, because we're studying some theories that are out there."

Now I'll confess since it's a relatively new hot topic, I'm still learning about "critical race theory", but my instincts tell me if Gaetz is against it, then I would be for it.

Critical race theory is the new culture war boogeyman of the GOP media and talking heads.

Yes and the general public responds.  There have been some very ugly public school hearings around the country.  I just sometimes am so depressed by America these days.  They cling to their confederate flags and statues because it's "our heritage" but when people want to learn about true heritage and not "the settlers brought "helpers" from Africa", for example,. it's too disturbing of a heritage.

Tucker Carlson is the man!

So Rudi is going to be disbarred and Tucker has been fraternizing with the libs and Hannity is feuding with Carlson ????! 

You can't make this stuff except to absolutely know that it was inevitable! 

Did anyone expect anything else?

Prediction? Cowboy Nunes, Turtle Face McConnell, in the closet Graham, Gormless Louis, lying Ted etc, are all going down. Indicted, charged and some jailed. I would imagine all of the precedents Trump will set with his legal woes will be applicable to some of their actions. Turtle face is definitely on the take, Gormless Louis has to go just for humanity's sake. 

What a cast of characters! Even the Sopranos didn't have such exciting morons.

CNN 6/25:

Derek Chauvin sentenced to 22.5 years for George Floyd's murder

Judge says his sentence for Chauvin is "not based on emotion or sympathy"

Quote

"But at the same time I want to acknowledge the deep and tremendous pain that all the families are feeling, especially the Floyd family. You have our sympathies," Cahill said. "It has been painful throughout Hennepin County, throughout the state of Minnesota, and even the country. But most importantly we need to recognize the pain of the Floyd family."

Women need to read this article. It's much more than Britney Spears!

I never really have the time or inclination to read trivia but I like Britney and it's about a lot more than Britney implied here. It's alarming!
