Mamertine , to politics in Michael Cohen suggests Trump’s mounting legal fees make him ‘thoroughly compromised’: ‘He is for sale’

So few people in the Trump Whitehouse could pass a background check. The solution was to suspend background checks. Clearance was just given out.

Mamertine , to Political Memes in Pretty much.

Yep, that boat parade Trump supporters did in 2020 where a bunch of boats got swamped by the wake of all the big boats. That was also representative of the red hat racists.

Mamertine , to politics in Trump wants to debate Biden 'immediately' — but president shrugs him off

And a fact checker that will interrupt blatant lies.

Trump says things that are incorrect and asserts that reality is a lie.

Mamertine , to politics in Pentagon to MAGA world: You need to calm down over Taylor Swift

Fox news classified themselves as entertainment so that law didn't apply to them.

Mamertine , to politics in Biden says this is the ‘weirdest campaign ever’ as Trump suggests he’s an Elvis lookalike

If that's the case, why didn't they pass any meaningful bill in the first 2 years of his presidency?

He didn't champion anything, so Congress didn't give him any bills to sign that he wanted.

It's not 3d chess. Hell, it's not even checkers. It's that Republicans are stuck with this moron that a significant, and very loud percentage of their base LOVES.

Mamertine , to politics in Dem Lawmaker Rips GOP Reps To Their Faces: 'You Bend The Knee To The Orange Jesus'

They want to get reelected. They know they have to do what the Almighty Orange One says for that to happen. I'm really hoping the Democrats actually take off the gloves for this election and call the Republicans the insurrection party. Then they have to show America that one party is fully responsible and that one party has been blocking the investigation into the insurrection.

Show the Jan 6 footage. Get an emotional response. Make the Republican voters feel like shit for allowing that to happen.

Mamertine , to politics in Special monitor suggests Trump falsified disclosures over $48 million loan in what could be tax evasion, report says

I like that!

$83.3M is one slander damage, just as one Scaramucci is eleven days.

I propose we also add "Donald hands" as a length unit of measure. Maybe it's just half of the existing hand unit of measure.

Mamertine , to politics in Trump adviser Peter Navarro sentenced to 4 months in prison for defying Jan. 6 committee subpoena

Story time:

Years ago, I interned with the local sheriff's office. I spent most of my time there with the warrant team. They went out and arrested people with outstanding warrants. In doing so, I learned that after sentencing the convicted person voluntarily report to prison. They had to process a number of people who were sentenced to prison but never reported.

I, like you, expected people to be transferred from court to prison after sentencing. That was a shocking revelation for me.

Mamertine , to politics in RNC Moving to Declare Trump Its Presumptive Nominee

There is no way Trump would ever pick a non white person, nor would he pick a woman, well unless she was hot and he would use the promise of being VP to sleep with her.

Trump is super racist and misogynist.

Mamertine , to News in Hearing complaints over property taxes, some Georgia lawmakers look to limit rising values

If they cap the rate the house can be assessed for at 3% growth per year, they won't have enough money to keep the state running if the actual rate of inflation is consistently around 5%.

Generally, the state is the biggest employer in any given state. If they don't have the money to give it raises that match the rate of inflation, the state employees have less purchasing power than they did a year ago.

Any social programs would have that same obstacle.

This is treating a symptom, and it's going to have repercussions.

Each state taxes differently. I'm not familiar with Georgia's specifics. I live in MN. School funding is done via property tax and supplemented with a per student amount from the state. If the property tax is capped to 3% a year, if property tax is the primary funding for schools, teacher raises would be have to be capped to 3% a year.

New developments or places with higher turnover (tax assessed value resets when the house is sold) could be able to pay significantly more for teachers than older stable neighborhoods. That excentuates the suburban flight.

Mamertine , to News in Haley Questions if Trump Is ‘Mentally Fit’ After He Confused Her With Pelosi

Man, woman, person, camera, TV

The doctors were so impressed with how well I did on that intelligent test.

Fwiw, he passed a cognitive stroke exam 4 years ago.

Mamertine , to News in In first known action in criminal justice system, special grand jury to examine Uvalde response, newspaper reports

Yes, but the school district police chief actively kept other officers from intervening.

I'll assume they're looking into that one person's actions.

Mamertine , to Technology in Electric school buses are a breath of fresh air for children | Nearly $1B in federal funding could help clean up the unequal health impacts of diesel pollution.

The article talked a lot about school buses in rural areas. Mass Transit isn't a thing in most rural areas.

In urban cities, yes that's a feasible idea. Most people in the USA live in places where mass transit isn't feasible.

We are a nation of car drivers who bought into the dream of having a house on a large lot in the suburbs. Mass Transit exists, but in the burb it's generally a parking lot where you take a bus to your job downtown.

Mamertine , to politics in It isn’t ‘anti-democratic’ to bar Trump from office. It’s needed to protect democracy | Steven Greenhouse

It's in the constitution! That sacred document that was divinely inspired. Granted it's an amendment so it wasn't part of Jefferson's initial creation, but it's been in there for 150 years.

Mamertine , to politics in Kentucky Republican pushes bill to make sex with first cousin not incest

Yes, and I'll counter that argument by suggesting we ban having sex with children regardless of if the molester is related.
