I have no problem with the concept of a strong floor. But the no ceiling bit is problematic. Vast accumulations of wealth invest a small number of individuals with inordinate power over both material resources and the flow of information. Dollars are an illusion. Resources are finite.

So do they call it Black Friday because the promotional emails for it blot out the sun?

Pretty convincing evidence here that the Trump administration was planning to jailbreak and provide asylum for Bolsonaro -- and that Trump inadvertently revealed the plan.
And this, as the now-cliche goes, would have been a paralyzing scandal for any other administration.

Trump appears to blurt out secret plan, not knowing it's already a bust

Does it bother anyone else that the plot of “Being There” is more realistic than our current lived reality?

Rubio has apparently stated categorically that it’s a little hard to tell who is in charge of what right now.

It’s a feature. 50 years ago a bunch of clever people convinced a bunch of powerful people that if everybody just watched out for their own interests, collectively we’d get the best possible outcome. It was stupid then and it’s stupid now, but there it is. It’s written into our operations manual.
Point blank, period.
Too many people in this country simply have no damned principles, and everything is negotiable to personal gain. That's why we are where we are now.
There's no way the GOP would still be a functioning party at this point if y'all weren't committed to being racist and stupid.

There are plenty of conservative Black folks in this country, and there would be a whole lot more Black Republicans if the party weren’t so damn racist!
It really is that simple.

That John Roberts was more concerned with nuisance lawsuits against the president than he was with whatever this is will haunt this country for a long time
Trump posts again about Democrats, saying their behavior is “punishable by DEATH!”

I just called my rep (who is on the armed services committee) to speak out publicly in defense of his colleagues who are calling on the military to honor their oath to the constitution. I also asked him to do his utmost to contact John Roberts and encourage him to calm the waters. Please do this.

Good for you Senator Murphy. John Roberts needs to be at the head of this parade of patriots.
The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.
If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

I was watching some old Perry Masons out of the box set and ran across an episode titled The Case of the Golden Fraud. And I couldn’t help but think it was a worthy nickname for our current asshole in chief.

We can write laws all day, but if the people charged with enforcing them wave those pieces of paper off, what's to be done? Until we conclude the broadcast days of propaganda outlets, this only keeps getting worse. Bet.

I’ve been saying for a bit that the constitution is a dead letter and we need to start figuring out what that means going forward. There’s going to be so much pressure from media and establishment politicians to just bygones the whole thing and if we do that we’re so screwed in the long run.

I’m not here to pass judgment on her one way or the other, but I have noticed in her a yearning for a greater degree of respectability for some time. Where it goes and ends up, I have no idea, but on a cloudy day the sun rarely comes out all at once. She’s not very bright, but she bears watching.
MTG has been acting lately like she’s beginning to emerge from Trumpist cult brainwashing—which is good in that, if she can, maybe others can as well—but her politics remain odious. This might be what the off-ramp for other cult members looks like. We’ll see.
BASH: We have seen these attacks from the president at other people. It's not new. And I haven't heard you speak out about it until it was directed at you.
MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I think that's fair criticism. And I would like to say, humbly, I'm sorry for taking part in the toxic politics.

THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered.

I know today’s senate fuckery is in no way your fault, but here’s a minor suggestion for inclusion in your platform:
Members of the house and senate must accept emails from anyone they have emailed for donations whether or not they are constituents. Fair is fair.
