More plea offers extended by DA Willis in Trump's Georgia RICO case; let the dominos fall

 



Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has extended additions plea offers after defendant Scott Hall agree to plead guilty and testify against his co-conspirators. Given that Hall is likely to have directly and sharply incriminating evidence against his codefendant Sidney Powell, might Powell be the next domino to fall, please guilty and cooperate?

How Americans Got So Stupid

 



and why American culture became everything, everywhere, all at once.


Extremism

 

John Fetterman

The last week has been *crazy* — so let's take a minute to recap.

First: Extreme Republicans in the House nearly shut down the government, but Dems came to the rescue + made sure working folks wouldn't get screwed by the GOP's chaos.

Then: Those same Republicans pitched a fit and threw out Kevin McCarthy, ensuring that no business can get done until they get their sh*t together.

Now: The GOP is… blaming Democrats for their own Chaos Caucus?? 🙄

It's only been a few months and the fringe right has all but derailed our government. It's clear: We can't trust this Republican Party to fight for working folks.

We're going to keep fighting this BS, but I need you on the team. Can you chip in a donation of any amount today?



Let's hope that the clown car caucus over in the House GOP gets their act together so we can get back to work soon.

Thank you 🙏

❤️ John

U.S. Senator from Pennsylvania

Let’s send a message to AIPAC

 


Summer Lee for Congress



Since before I took office, right-wing billionaires have put a target on my back. Last year, around this time, they spent millions of dollars on malicious attack ads. And earlier this summer, AIPAC even announced that they were looking around for a primary challenger — again. And today, my first opponent in this primary is launching her campaign.

I ran to be a voice for the voiceless, to finally represent the Black, brown, poor and marginalized communities left behind by politicians in Washington who care more about helping billionaires and lobbyists than working class single parents like my mom. That’s the real reason they’re attacking me–their billionaire Republican donors want to keep progressive working class Black women who they’ll never be able to control. 

Let’s send a message together to AIPAC and all corporate, conservative superPACs invested in thwarting our progress, that we will not back down. Can you donate $5 today to show the strength of our grassroots-powered campaign?

I didn’t take office just to constantly defend myself from dark money operations, but the fact is that corporate, Republican-backed PACs like AIPAC see Black women fighting for progress as a threat to their interests. And for the sake of our movement, I will continue to fight with everything I’ve got for the people of PA-12. I owe our movement that much.

We all deserve a reflective, inclusive democracy. It’s the reason I’ve spent all these years helping build a people centered, grassroots, electoral movement for all in Western Pennsylvania. This isn’t just about this election; our movement is in it for the long haul. So even if AIPAC spends millions against us and recruits opponents, like they’ve done in the past, I know we can beat them together, Frank. Because we’ve done it once already.

So on the day of my opponent’s launch, where she will be surrounded by Republicans, I’m asking you to chip in $5, $10, $50 or whatever amount you can so that we can once again beat right-wing PACs’ millions of dollars and win a reflective democracy for the people of PA-12.

We both know that no matter how dirty our opponents play, no matter how many millions they spend, our grassroots movement can and will win if we stick together.

All power to the people,
Summer Lee

NEWS ALERT: 'Let Them Wallow in Their Pigsty': Say Democrats on McCarthy Vote

 




NEWS ALERT
October 03, 2023
House Democrats made clear Tuesday that they will not help GOP Speaker Kevin McCarthy save his leadership job as the chamber prepares to vote shortly on far-right Rep. Matt Gaetz's motion to take the gavel from the California Republican.

"We are not voting in any way that will help Republicans," Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.).  

excerpt: 

Rep. Summer Lee (D-Pa.) said in a statement Tuesday that "McCarthy voted to sell out our democracy to a mob of armed white supremacists to become speaker."

"He then sold his speakership to help MAGA extremists criminalize abortion, cut Social Security and Medicare, ban Black history, gut workers' rights and voting rights, and sell out our children's safety to the gun lobby and corporate polluters," Lee added. "If we didn't stop him, he would have sold out the entire country to keep his little gig as speaker of the chaos caucus. Why would I—or any Democrat—vote for a Republican speaker who supports Donald Trump and white supremacists? It's a NO from me."

THE STUPIDITY OF "R" VOTERS!

 

RIGHT WINGERS POST ATTACK COMMENTS WITH NO SUBSTANCE IN RESPONSE WHEREVER THEY CAN - CONTINUING TO EMBRACE TERM LIMITS PROMOTED BY DIRTY ENERGY KOCH. 

In response to a MAGA DIM WIT on Senator Markey's facebook page:

You have term limits - it's called elections.
Senator Markey enjoys widespread support from a well educated, well informed electorate.
Easily defeated the last MASS GOP dim wit.


"R" voters fail to inform themselves and vote for incompetent, unqualified candidates.
How about those 2 QANON candidates that MASS GOP supported?
How about stupid Republicans who voted for Carina Leeza Mompelas, never held elected office, defeated when she ran for Brockton Mayor, has no financial qualifications, wasn't aware of the statutory responsibilities of Treasurer. "R" voters clearly didn't even listen to the public debate.
Donnie Palmer made ANTI-ASIAN comments, Jim Lyons knew and still supported him. The Dim Wit couldn't even file his campaign reports.
How about the 3 Republicans who sued after they lost with 30% of the vote?
You haven't even paid attention to the disaster that Jim Lyons created, violations of statutes, supported DIEHL, digging up dirt on Maura Healey. How about LYON's racist attacks on the woman who defeated Jim Lyons?

DIRTY ENERGY KOCH spent gobs of $$$ funding attack ads against Elizabeth Warren, defending the DIRTY ENERGY SOCK PUPPET.
The sexy centerfold made an appearance in Middleboro.
When he lost to Elizabeth Warren, I encountered Republicans in mourning.
I would ask 'did you know Scott Brown voted for x, y, z? ' Invariably the answer was NO!
I would ask 'did you know Scott Brown voted against a, b, c?' Invariably the answer was NO!
"R" voters are uninformed and too lazy to research issues.
Martin Rzeznik comments above confirm it.
You right wingers post attack comments, but never anything addressing issues because you continue to prove that you're uninformed unless you're spoon fed pre-digested propaganda from warped sources. 

You made unsubstatiated comments that indicate you are uninformed, ignore facts - everything around the Commonwealth.
Middleboro "R" dim wits elected an "R" candidate (now deceased) over and over and over again.
He got lost going to BEACON HILL and only appeared 2 or 3 times each session. He got his pension.
That's stupid "R" voters!
Tom O'Brien got elected and was immediately immersed in replacing the long outdated Registry of Deeds and the Courthouse.
Were you even paying attention?
Do you even know how non-functional those buildings were?
To research anything at the REGISTRY OF DEEDS, you had to guess what floor the books would be found on, everything was in books. If someone was waiting to use the copy machine, stacks of books were on tables for the title searchers.
Probate records were on index cards.
Older records were on microfiche - copies of parchment paper with hills and valleys.
Did you notice that everything is now ON LINE?
With new technology, the hills and valleys of old parchment was corrected.
Democrats at least have the sense to recognize that the Repubican Party is ANTI-DEMOCRACY.
