15,000 immigrant children in detention

That's what the count is up to now. The good news is that there's been an HHS rule change that only a sponsoring adult must undergo a criminal background check. It used to be that everyone in the household would need this check, which was holding up a lot of kids from being placed with sponsors. However HHS is also turning over the results of the checks to ICE, so that is scaring off some otherwise possibly good sponsors.

Colbert interviews Schiff

Schiff is the incoming Chair of the Intelligence Committee. He lambasted the Repugnantans in Congress for doing nothing to address Dump's collusion with Russian interference and said "that stops now." He said the Committee will now "follow the money," meaning Dump's Russian business dealings, which is not coincidental to Dump's policy favoring Russia.

Colbert on Flynn's treason

He jokes about Flynn's sentencing hearing, where the judge frothed about Flynn's possible treason. Bystanders outside the trial ironically shouted "lock him up!" as Flynn entered and exited the court.

MIT economist: US regresses to 3rd world nation

So much for the American Dream. This economist said: “80% of Americans live in a hollowed out version of America, with limited access to upward mobility. This didn't happen by accident. This was an intentional policy set in motion around forty years ago.” You don't have to tell us 80%, as we live it every day. But you do have to tell those of us who vote for Repugnantans who really created this mess: Repugnantans and their corporate Dem facilitators. They need to know the real cause of their woe so we can vote in reps that are of, for and by we the people. 

10 Circuit Court dismisses Kavanagh complaints

Yes, they dismissed all 83 ethics complaints against Kavanaugh because they lack jurisdiction to rule on a Supreme Corp Justice. They cited the 1980 Judicial Conduct and Disability Act that "exempts Supreme Court Justices from the judiciary's disciplinary laws." So then there is no legal check on such InJustices?

Dump signed letter of intent to build Moscow tower

On the Sunday shows Giuliani claimed that no one signed this letter of intent. A couple of days later a copy of that letter was produced and Dump indeed had signed it. Some assistant attorney generals have noted this "may suggest a criminal conspiracy." Yes Guiliani and Dump suggest that even if Dump signed it "nothing is wrong." They are definitely wrong about that.

Copy and paste

Cute computer metaphor on human reproduction.

Sanders for President tops straw poll

Conducted by Democracy For America. Granted this demo is progressive Dems, so it's not surprising that Sanders got 36% to Biden's 15% and O'Rourke's 12%. Warren got 8%. It is indicative though because repeated polls show that the progressive agenda is the majority of the people's agenda.

Who are the law and order Presidents?

For all the Repugnantan claims to law and order the facts tell the real story.

Hartmann: Political framing requires emotional connection

Hartmann discusses this with Roger Wolfson, who said: "Unless you have an emotional reaction to what you're talking about then people listening can't really connect to you. […] Without the emotional connection, without the heart being involved, then [you] just start sounding like a talking head."
