How to Get Rid of "Citizens United" We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way.

The Citizens United decision has corrupted our government and is destroying our democracy. Here's a way to get rid of it. robertreich.substack.com/p/how-to-get...

And the Texas map is not? What about the NC or Indiana proposed maps? If there were NO gerrymandering, the very unpopular GOP would never win a seat. This is why they are fighting so hardβ€” voters don’t like them or their policies.

And Texas wasn’t? What a joke these clown’s are! The Texas redistricting was at the request of the corrupt regime leader, did the three clowns forget that? California voters voted for Prop 50 unlike Texas voters.

So this must mean that Kash Patel is going to tell Trump he has to revoke his pardons for the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers and reinstate their convictions for sedition in connection with January 6, right

Bill Pulte accused Lisa Cook of fraud. His relatives filed housing claims similar to hers Bill Pulte's close relatives have claimed so-called β€œhomestead exemptions” for residences in both Michigan and Florida, according to the records.

His family already has been found to be doing what he accused Lisa Cook of doing AFTER the accusations.

Housing

The person in charge of the Federal Housing Finance Agency is already under investigation

He is making mega-profits

Does he give a fluff?

He will care when the investigation finds all of his illegal activities

But pardons for pals are handed out like candy

Two months later, Jeanne marched with Morty in the 1972 Christopher Street Liberation Day March (now the NYC Pride March) holding a sign that read, β€œParents of Gays: Unite in Support for Our Children.” Other LGBTQ+ people and their families at the parade responded enthusiastically. /4

Manford’s activism began in April 1972, after her 21-year-old son, Morty Manford, a gay rights activist, was brutally beaten at a political dinner. Police officers stood by and did nothing. Outraged by the violence and police inaction, Manford wrote a letter to the editor of the New York Post. /2

Dafuq?

Surprised he could be tracked down on his private taxpayer funded jet, separated from his young misguided β€œsuperstar” girlfriend (name?), and placed on his footstool of justice in time for this β€œronytroser.”

If attacking the Capitol is an attack on America, why did they defend the people who did it?

The hypocrisy is wild. Spare us the selective outrage.
