I wish this were not highly likely.

Irony is dead.

Treasury, SBA data show small-business loans went to private-equity backed chains, members of Congress


Lock 'em up!

(How's that swamp-draining going, boys and girls?!)

Hard to believe that they tried to keep that data secret, huh?

“Instead of attacking President Trump as an involuntary reflex, maybe Joe Biden should just say ‘thank you’ once in a while," Trump campaign director of communications Tim Murtaugh told Fox News. "The PPP saved 51 million jobs nationally, including at Biden’s old law firm and a number of companies connected to Obama administration alums. A very likely explanation is that Biden simply doesn’t know what he’s talking about and would rather make a political weapon out of a program that helped people make their rent and mortgage payments.”

Joe thanked Nancy who created the program. Trump and Moscow Mitch shut up and did what they were told while they tried to regain control of their sphincters, with so far inconclusive results.

Their camps then immediately started raiding the PPP program, hoping no one would ever find out.

A few months later here are the books and there are the pig stains on their fat chins.

Trump’s new Baghdad Betty is amazing. How does one grow so bad so early in life? It’s like she was shot out of some giant evil canon now she’s screaming across the atmosphere trailing noxious clouds of deluding and off putting gas.

Love your thoughtful commentary on the corruption in the Treasury and SBA.

And... quoting campaign officials is not a good way to get anything remotely akin to a realistic view of an issue - whether Trump's team or Biden's.

Lindsey Graham rebutted Trump's comments about Bubba Wallace, the so-called hoax, and the bullshit that Trump uttered about NASCAR.

You would think that Graham was in a difficult race for reelection or something!

Graham has decided it is better to be considered sane while possibly losing office rather than becoming Louie Gohmert, the most any republican still clinging to trump can expect.

My hope is that his efforts to change his fortune are too little, too late, and that the abruptness and degree of his 180* pivot will drive home the cynical nature of it, rather than convincing people that he has suddenly regained morality.

Now we have Harry and Meghan launching into vitriol about racism.
LOL
SHE was welcomed to Britain as equal, given a lovely wedding, with everything she wanted, including the Black preacher, Black choir etc.

HE is now taking potshots at Britain about the way it treated its colonies.
LOL.
HE is the Prince!

The two of them seen on my tv news just now with young Black people...not sure what it was all about, by the time  I turned the volume up all I heard  was "have said that everyone  must examine their own racist attitudes/racism" or something like that.

Lovely.
We could start with the hatred and racism of "White people" being spewed forth in the world today.

If the police version of the incident is accurate, then while I am unconvinced that it had to go the way it went (How did they let him roll up his window?), I think they will be in the clear.

But it strikes me as very odd that they show the body cam of an officer who was not there for the shooting rushing up and he is the one they choose to reach in to pluck out the gun. No other footage is released because they want the statements of everybody "directly involved," first.

I sure hope the other videos are (a) released, (b) complete, and (c) corroborating what they claim. Unfortunately, we have seen time and again now that when the "directly involved" officers' videos are shown they conflict with the careful narrative of the police who shot or otherwise killed somebody.

We also have the example of the Baltimore Police Gun Trace Task Force that carried realistic looking toy guns to plant on folks they'd killed to make it look as if they had reason to shoot. Gun planting has been seen in numerous other cities since then, in one fashion or another.

That makes the public's seeing and hearing the body cam footage of the shooting officers vital.

I believe you failed to understand the quote you gave, Bambi.

"examine their own" means you should look at YOURS.

But, of course, you don't have a racist bone in your body, in your opinion.

There are so many people on terrorism watch lists in Britain today that it is impossible to watch, check, and track them all.
