The House GOP launched impeachment because Trump demanded it as revenge for being impeached—and he demanded it in writing! My new article on the first ever impeachment based on a former disgraced president seeking personal REVENGE. https://deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/house-gop-launched-impeachment-because

How does an indicted criminal and traitor coordinate and conspire with members of Congress to enact actions and policies that themselves are illegal? Isn't this a crime to have an impeachment with no evidence? Isn't this a conspiracy to commit election fraud? More insurrection? Or is Congress above the law?

@Sfwmson @DeanObeidallah
Yes true. But to even start a proceeding without any evidence working in concert with an indicted traitor is completely bizarre. Our "ethics" in politics don't exist any longer so we need iron clad laws.

Crypto and AI are both horrible for the environment and global warning. Both should be outlawed. Also they are completely unnecessary IMO. I see AI animations popping up everywhere around the city and they all look the same, just like Refik Anadol. It's a cool screensaver I guess but certainly doesn't warrant its energy sucking needs.

On the one hand you can chose a president who is old and stutters a bit, but is otherwise a friendly, honest guy.

On the other hand you can chose a president sentenced for rape who has sex with porn stars when his 3rd wife is having a baby, and who sympathizes with Vladimir Putin, and who is now indicted on 91 criminal charges and is out on a bond in four different states.

And it is still a tie?

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!

This is a good article. Everything that is evil about America is just the GQP version of America. Obama had major missteps, but was nowhere near the sick death cult of previous GQP Administrations.

STOP! Oh right, the networks are all owned by GQP billionares. What a ridiculous phony media we have. Freedom of the press, right? What a joke.

    I would like to discuss this with anyone interested. I am pro-union but I am seriously against taxpayers bailing out union pensions. I mean WTF? I am also against any government employee, including members of Congress having a pension. Everyone should simply be in social security. I also would like to say that union employees are a small minority in this country and they have much better wages than most of those who will pay for the bailout of their pensions. Am I wrong about this?

    To add to this I would like to mention a scandal with MTA employees that were allowed to log many hours of overtime in their final years to inflate their pensions into six figures. We are talking about low level clerical employees. NYers pay and it's disgusting.

    This story of how permeates the highest level of our country's legal and political systems continues to unravel and yet there is no action. This is shameful, and deadly for our democracy. What and wrought: How a justice’s wife and a key activist started a movement. Thanks to ruling, a trove of so-called was about to be unleashed. 2 activists prepared to seize the moment. https://www.politico.com/news/2023/09/10/ginni-thomas-leonard-leo-citizens-united-00108082

    We must bring them down. Every last one of them. The law is on our side and the constitution.

    georgetakei, to random

    It’s now clear that Leonard Leo, Ginni Thomas and Harlan Crow conspired in the wake of Citizens United, where Justice Clarence Thomas cast a decisive vote, to unleash over a billion dollars to reshape the judiciary in the mold of the Federalist Society.

    The result is now an extreme right-wing Supreme Court that has overturned abortion rights, environmental law, and affirmative action. And they are far from done.

    lin11c,
    @lin11c@toad.social avatar

    @georgetakei
    Do we need a constitutional amendment to overturn it? That will be very hard with so many insurrectionist traitors in this country. This court will never do it so we need to get rid of corrupt justices and expand the court. Also a heavy lift. So discouraging. 😞

    lin11c,
    @lin11c@toad.social avatar

    @peachfront @georgetakei
    The Senate seems completely useless. I guess because we just don't have enough votes, but it would be good to keep screaming about this. Ginny is a fucking insurrectionist and we can't let her get off the hook for J6. Maybe that will force Clarence to resign.

    Also what if we remove tax exempt status from all these dark money front organizations. That is something we can do. I haven't read this article yet but it looks great.

    Let's talk about sec 230 protections for social media companies. @DeanBaker13 points out:

    "the real issue is not Musk, the issue is why anyone is allowed to get so much power. Musk’s erratic behavior & fondness for far-right propagandists has chased many people off Twitter..., but it still has a reach that dwarfs that of even the largest traditional media outlets. This should have caused serious concerns even before Elon Musk took it over."

    "Walmart surprises with industry-leading change to wages"

    Walmart's surprise is that it is lowering its starting wage by $1 this year.

    A 2020 US Government Accountability Office study of data from six states found Walmart was a top employer of Medicaid [healthcare subsidies] enrollees and a top employer of SNAP [food subsidies] recipients.

    Walmart's business model relies on corporate welfare while its employees work full time and struggle to pay for food and healthcare.

    Employees need to surprise Walmart with a union ASAP.

    This is outrageous. We should charge them 20 billion at a minimum to pay back taxpayers what they have stolen from us. Scum.
