By the way...this is some of the corruption that T got rid of that B has brought back.
What they had been doing is having the corporations pay settlement funds to various groups that generally supported Dem causes. Those groups then used those fund to promote Dem politicians, etc.
The essence of corruption.
"President Trump got rid of the Obama/Biden slush funds where the Justice Department, CFPB, and EPA shook down corporations and then used the negotiated settlements that they were forced to pay (taxpayer money) to funnel kickbacks to their political supporters."
-
"In the first set of Executive Orders signed today by Joe Biden was the reversal of a DOJ policy put in place by Attorney General Jeff Sessions which prohibited provisions in settlement agreements in civil litigation that directed the opposing party to pay the money from the settlement to some third-party interest group that DOJ believed could put the money to better use than having it go into the Treasury of the United States."
-
"One case that got some notoriety was a settlement with Gibson Guitars over allegations that the company illegally imported ivory and rosewood from Madagascar and India. The Obama Justice Department opened the case as a criminal matter — shockingly — but later reached a civil settlement whereby Gibson agreed to pay a fine of $300,000 to avoid criminal prosecution. But another part of the settlement required Gibson pay $50,000 to the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, a private entity."
"A much more illuminating example of this practice, one that shows exactly how it can be used as a funding mechanism for all manner of Democrat Party interest groups, was the 2014 settlement of claims against Bank of America relating to the 2008 mortgage fraud crisis. Out of the total of $17 billion DOJ required BofA to pay, nearly $7 billion went to left-wing activist groups associated with Democrat party special interests."

"Yesterday, The United Nations released its Emissions Gap Report 2020, an annual assessment of contributions to greenhouse gas and carbon emissions. The report has some notable information amid an array of complicated projections that may or may not come true. It claims, for instance, that “despite a brief dip in carbon dioxide emissions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the world is still heading for a temperature rise.”
But for the United States, the real value in this report is as an advisory that it need not join the Paris Climate Accord. This report is evidence that, instead, the U.S. should just keep doing what it is doing to cut its own emissions. The U.S. is the most successful major country at mitigating its own pollution, and the U.N. shows this."

Do you think it's o.k. to do that if: a) you have been fully vaccinated, or b) you have already had COVID?
b). I don’t know the re-infection rates well enough to say for sure. I’m not sure anyone does. The Louisiana and Arizona curves make me suspect second infections are kind of common. Both states show multiple peaks, a few months apart. That’s exactly what I’d expect if recovered people can still transmit once their immunity weakens. If second infections are common, then a post-covid dinner party is still a bad idea.
a). if everyone attending has been vaccinated, it’s probably safer. That one has at least been studied more thoroughly. Out of politeness, I’d still say that able bodied people should still socialize outside with the rest of us, even if they have been vaccinated. I don’t was to see compliance fall because those with early vaccines start setting a bad example.

I doubt you did. CNN (China News Network) limits what you know.
You can put lipstick on a pig like Huckasans, but she’s still gonna eat scraps off the floor and stick her nose up the Mango Magat’s Depends if you let her.
And by the way, any grad of Ouachita Baptist University, whatever the hell that is, is a token god person appointee.

Just the facts ma’am!
Is it possible for AZ's second spike to be caused by snowbirds? Looks timely to me. They usually show up around OCT. They don't come alone, many bring immediate family for a short while. Snow birds of all colors - Upper Midwest, Midwest, Plains states. Their kids and grandkids help them move in, stay a week or so, play golf, eat out on patios, eat inside, etc....then they leave.
AZ is now trending down. In terms of ICU capacity, the second wave didn't impact any differently than the 1st wave - ICU bed capacity hovered between 90-92%. The big difference between the two was the many procedures were cancelled during the summer surge. this time around hospitals didn't cut as many procedures. They were able to manage. Razor thin margins with staffing but they have seemed to pull it off.

"In executive order signed by Joe Biden last week may force Americans to fully fund programs in San Francisco and other cities that provide housing for the homeless.
San Francisco reportedly spends between $15 million to $18 million per month to house more than 2,200 people in about 25 lodging establishments--some of them luxury hotels."
Now if SF wants to put them up in hotels have at it. The rest of us shouldn't have to pay for it.
By the way look at the monthly spend and the estimated people they are paying for.
Lets just use 16.5 mil a month or 198 million a year is what SF is spending. Based on 2200 people that breaks down to 90k per person.
That sounds rather inefficient no?

Pelosis HR1 would federalize federal election rules and restrict what the states could do. No signatures for absentee ballot, no voter id, ballot harvesting ok. If this happens (doubt it will) the rs will walk away from elections as being legitimate. Tucker has a piece on this tonight.
It’s the rubicon.
It’s the rubicon.
No more war analogies for politics, please.
Using that kind of language is irresponsible. It is unfortunate, but some people actually take it literally. Three weeks ago, political war analogies killed six people.
Dial it way back. This is not war. No rubicon was crossed. It is not time to fight. These are not cartridge box questions.
It is time for civilized adults to act like civilized adults.
Not trying to inflame here. I disagree with the bill, but it's the bill itself which is doing the inflaming. It will shatter any R confidence in the election system. If we don't have confidence in the election system, where does it go from there? Sounds to me like you are making a prediction as well and connecting that logical loop.
My message is simple: if HR1 were to pass it would destroy whatever confidence the Rs have left in the election system.
This one?
"To expand Americans’ access to the ballot box, reduce the influence of big money in politics, strengthen ethics rules for public servants, and implement other anti-corruption measures for the purpose of fortifying our democracy, and for other purposes."
