In view of our new national moral imperative, I think it is time we dismantle the Statue of Liberty…or at the very least, give her an AR-15.
While the thought of Lady Liberty packing heat gives Nutter morning wood, this is her current mood:
Trump Stinks!
Sessions Stinks!
Miller is our Goebbels!
ICE is the new Gestapo!
Stay upwind!
What are Polis, Perlmutter, Bennet and DeGette doing to uphold and defend the Constitution?
More than you are doing to defend the Constitution.
+1 for unnamed.
+10 for unnamed
1. I agree with unnamed – at least until Zappatero describes what he's doing.
2. I'm curious why Zappatero doesn't seem to know about our elected officials' actions. Alternate news sources, the politicians' web sites, their Twitter feeds (for those who indulge) — all have some clues which are apparently not consulted by Z.
Such as every Dem Senator signimg Feinstein's Keep Families Together bill. Manchin signed on this morning.
Did he finally? Oh good. Took him long enough. I wonder who he was leary of displeasing?
Probably that WV is one of the reddest states and, arguably, among the Trumpiest.
And the poorest. And the most ignorant. Oh well, he did say he loved the poorly educated
Translation: People dumb enough to vote for him.
El Paso County voters might give them a run for their money on the ignorance scale. The unaffiliated voters there are returning both ballots at twice the rate of the other Colorado counties, thus ensuring their votes won't count!
It’s part of their job description and they make $175,000 a year.
And you shill your erudite words of wisdom on this site for free, Sappy. I guess we get what we pay for. Or maybe less.
Obviously, both sides are equally bad. Did I get that right, Jilliot?
Absolutely, V!
STEIN 2020
Because the lesser of two evils is just as evil!
And if the lesser of two evils is still evil, what do we do with the lesser who got about 1.1% of the vote, which is about a third of the third place candidate, about 2.2% of the popular vote winner and 2.3% of the second place in popular vote (and electoral college winner)?
WOTD from Josh Marshall: "Performance Cruelty"
The separation of children from their parents is intentional. It is a form of Dominance Theater. The cruelty is a feature, not a bug.
The goal is to demonstrate to the racist base dominance over "those people". Welcome to NAZI 101.
I guess it is also some kind of hostage situation:
Five years ago yesterday Congressman Polis submitted amendment #192 to the 2013 Farm Bill debate and the first step to creating a legal, domestic agricultural hemp industry was taken. Ultimately the amendment passed and became federal law, a provision in the 2014 FAARM Act. In the five years hence we've literally grown an industry from a few bags of seeds to what was estimated a $200 million domestic industry in 2017. Last year over one-third the entire US acreage was grown in Colorado (it's market value already surpasses western-slope peaches). Not bad for something described as nothing more than a niche crop not long ago:
Experts project the industrial hemp industry (largely driven by CBD production) to be north of $2.1 billion by 2020. It's well within the realm of possibility this industry will surpass the adult-use markets over time.
This is the kind of leadership I look for and expect from my elected representatives. Congressman Polis doesn't look first to see which way the wind is blowing. Jared has been on the right side of this argument from the beginning and both Coloradans and American farmers and consumers across the US are the beneficiaries of his leadership.
The Hickenlooper ribbing is somewhat in jest. Even though the Gov was anti-64 and failed to see the enormous potential of the agricultural side of this equation, he has been a solid supporter of all bills relating to the growth of the Colorado industry during his tenure. Our state department of agriculture is bar-none one of the best groups of hemp administrators in America.
Hick can always be trusted to "lead" once the people get out in front of him.
Fortunately, we have people like you and the rest of the Hempy Warriors, and yes, Jared Polis.
Meanwhile, Captain Bone Spurs can keep track of Little Rocket Man from space.
Hope he pulls an ACL doing it.
He's going "all Reagan-esque" on Little Rocket Man.
This one's good. They didn't even have to change SmellyAnne's inaugural dress.
This may be T***ps attempt to create his own military. I was wondering how he might try to exploit the armed forces in his bid for sovereignty.
He might seek massive build up and transfer of resources to "expedite" national security. Of course, the separate but equal “Space Force" will need lots of hardware and troops to protect facilities. Then begin to assimilate the U.S. Air Force ( already very space ready) into his own private war machine.
Not too far fetched, I trow.
Trump is rooting for German Chancellor Merkel's government to fall, spreading lies about migrants, and having Pompeo, Bannon, his German ambassador as well as himself meeting with the new Fascist leaders in Europe. Putin is pleased.
Do the Ruskies have an equivalent to #RightWingJesus?
Yes. His first name is Vladimir. No, not that one.
The patron saint of oligarchs?
Well, yes. Yes, he is. The “Patriarch of Moscow and All Rus,” Vladimir Krill helps soften Putin's global image, in exchange for state protection.
It's ironic when a gay man like Richard Grenell starts to cozy up to fascists. It didn't end well for Ernst Roehm.
