This Junco is really dark compared to those that we see in the PNW. Very interesting!

Prosecutors Can Indict a Ham Sandwich, But Can They Convict? What happens when you indict a ham sandwich?

The grand jury refused to indict felony charges so DOJ brought a misdemeanor. The trial jury acquittedβ€”note: that means that every single person on the jury voted for acquittal. There wasn’t even a single vote to convict. joycevance.substack.com/p/prosecutor...

Today, Speaker Emeritus Nancy Pelosi announced that she will not seek reelection and is retiring at the end of her term.

From her time working with Harvey Milk in San Francisco to her tenure as the first female Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi is the definition of a champion for equality.

This just makes me sick. Too distraught to even really comment - except to say that it's the embodiment of what's happening to our country. 😭

Jeffries: "You've got Leavitt, who's sick, she's out of control. I'm not sure if she's just demented, ignorant, a stone cold liar, or all of the above. But the notion that an official WH spokesperson would say that the D Party consists of 'terrorists, violent criminals & undocumented immigrants'..."

I'm a molecular biologist specializing in virus-host interactions. with ZERO creds for being a politician, influencer, Russian propagandist or business insider. So the obvious question is "Where is my Trump job"? I'm WAY more qualified to be Secretary of HHS than the current "worms for brains" guy.

100% agree. Although I can't help but find the second pic a bit troubling in ways not related to ICE...

Although nowhere near as scary as her complete lack of a behind. Kristi Noem seems to be dangerously anorexic. Her hair extensions might weigh more than she does...

I absolutely agree. What I will never understand is how no one is questioning the ridiculous attempts of complete imbeciles to cover up the truth. I mean seriously? It's like believing that a 3 yr old is telling the truth while saying they didn't eat the cookie...

OK, I'm losing my job, can't find a new one, lonely, sad, & destroyed, yet you are 100% right. My life is far better than the ridiculous need to travel across the globe because a drunk faux news host demanded it & the insane rants that the Generals were forced to endure.

This is what happens when unqualified, ignorant people are given too much power. The facts are buried so that the conspiracy theories and lies can take center stage. We must fight this or our democracy is doomed...

OMG, she looks just like my PNW sleepy seal pup Griffin. I rescued him from Houston, so perhaps these land seals are related...OK, so this one has ears.

At least she's calling Tulsi out for her lies. I have often wondered if Laura Ingraham will ever be able to close her mouth after all of this... After a few years of investigation, still a no.

Did I not hear "delusional Don" actually praising Harry Enton earlier today? Trump (and his brain) is circling the drain to dementiaville.

Berman: Was the President right about the polling?

Enten: No. If we are comparing him to other presidents at this point in their presidencies, he is the second lowest on record compared only to himself.

No. I used to be there, but knowing the facts, as painful as they may be, is crucial in our fight against this hateful, moronic, authoritarian regime.
