There can be no gainsaying of the fact that racism is still alive all over America. Racial injustice is still the Negro’s burden and America’s shame. And we must face the hard fact that many Americans would like to have a nation which is a democracy for white Americans but simultaneously a dictatorship over black Americans. We must face the fact that we still have much to do in the area of race relations.

Puck Fompeo.

Biden has said that he intends to cut back on arms sales to the Saudis and push for more diplomacy and humanitarian assistance for Yemen. But reversing the Houthi designation cannot be done with the stroke of a pen. Under statute, it requires an act of Congress, or an administration review, after which the secretary of state finds that changed circumstances on the ground of U.S. national security warrant a reversal.

Which is to say it might take 3 days to get it through the new Congress.

Pardons do not imply innocence

Heh

Some do, some don't.

Iran to execute 2nd wrestler, sparking outrage from US State Department

Primitive crazies are still bringing out the pick-up trucks with the nooses for public hangings in parking lots. Always a big crowd pleaser.

“Look, I didn’t agree with the [Capitol] fight that happened last week, and I voted against overturning the election, but at the same time, the impeachment is a wrongheaded, partisan notion, [and] if Republicans go along with it, it’ll destroy the party,” (Senator Rand) Paul said during the interview.

“A third of the Republicans will leave the party,” Paul continued. “This isn’t about, anymore, the Electoral College, this is about the future of the party, and whether you’re going to ostracize and excommunicate President Trump from the party. Well, guess what? Millions of his fans will leave as well.”

More succinctly, "Because while I condemn insurrectionists, they're important to the party!"

Always putting party before country. That's WHO this asshole is.

I think you give him too much credit.

It's putting self above everything else, and in this case he sees himself getting further by having the party intact - but if he saw it otherwise, he would turn on them in a heartbeat.

You're both wrong

Carry on.

WE are allowed to execute people. Not YOU!

Your usual careful reasoning is noted.

You remain full of shit.

Either you take Paul at his word (which is represented by what Ham said), or you think he's lying.

If he's lying, what purpose could it serve other than his own?!

Heh

Trump pardons confirm guilt.

I give them credit I guess for saving the rupees by not housing the prisoner for long.

Wilderness wanderer?
Aha, like the van life people I watch on YouTube, they're wandering around the nation mountain biking, camping, trying to stay warm, trying to stay on the i80 in Colorado, Kansas etc and not get blown off and over like the trucks on the black ice.
Hiking, boondocking in the wilderness.
Bear spray?  Bears?  Only for the brave hiker.

Bears are not aggressive unless you go all Timothy Treadwell on their Sinatra-hating asses.

So..is he now Phil Specter?

Even I would be embarrassed by that joke.

Using a name as a gimmick,  or dare I say,  a Spector gadget,  is hard to bring off.

You are confused

Paul said impeachment is a wrong-headed notion.

UNO does not agree with that.
