5.10-14 Open Threads
Hola amigos y amigas! 🙂 I’m getting geared up. Have a 5/15 Zoom Meetup with Anna Eskamani’s campaign for GOTV and phone banking (which I don’t do but listening is worth it). Well, Byedone hasn’t caved (yet) on the MAGAs’ threats over the Debt Ceiling. I’ll tell you, this tune is getting really old! These are Open Threads, and our Nest is ready. Hope everyone is well. 🙂
Saturday Update.
I live in a downtown, gentrifying area, near a park space called Festival Park. They had a lot of action going on, so I knew they were setting up for an event. I sat in a shaded area across from where the main entrance is, and watched the action. It was definitely a reggae festival which starts around 2PM (our time). I walked across the street and asked about it as I am a diehard reggae fan. 🙂 They told me the entrance fee was $60.00. Yeah, you read that correctly. I can afford it, but I said–well, that cancels me out (and folks like me). Ripoff city. I wish the organizers the best, but if they fall flat on their face $$$-wise, they only have their greed to blame.
Thanks orl!
In a long but intriguing and damning article in Jacobin, Clarence Thomas is hung out to dry. What a creep!

There are reliable reports surfacing that Thomas and his equally corrupt bitch of of a wife, Ginni, are being watched by the DOJ. This crew ain’t conservative; Leo and all that scum are FRight, corrupt, power hungry assholes. He may end up being the first SCOTUS ‘judge’ kicked off the Court. If he’s indicted for criminal activity, that will go down. That changes the Court to 5-3, plus will send a very powerful message to Roberts, Alito, and Coney what’s-her-face. Man, will people like me 🥰 it!!
Cant wait to see him gone. As the old saying states, “He looks good gone, he got diamonds in his back.” And he can take his “corrupt bitch of a wife” with him.
And thanks for starting us out today, obf.
Unfortunately he’s not gone yet, and since he has no pride he sure has no shame. He won’t be going anywhere until he’s forced out. I’d recommend McConnel style shadow protests, as in he shouldn’t be able to leave his house without getting heckled mercilessly. And any thought of dinner out should be fleeting, for both of them. The idea would be to shine that spotlight 24/ 7, until neither of them can go about their crooked business.
x2700 i doubt the DOJ has the balls to do it,and the Turtle will pull in every skeleton to see that it doesn’t happen
Sad.
Amen x 100, Senator Sanders. When’s his successor gonna appear? Sure hope it happens before I croak. 👍
Hey Birdies, check out this read from the Intercept:

Unreal, literally. BTW, my late mother was born in Broken Arrow, OK. 🙂
Brings a tear.
This is not new. Insurance companies also killed ERA. I went to a talk by Gloria Steinem, and she said insurance companies weren’t happy about creating separate policies for women; also because of LGBTQ issues.
If it can happen in Chi-town, no reason why Philly can’t follow suit. 🙂

CNN (Fox lite) joined Newsmax,OAN and a few others at the bottom of the barrel with last nights debacle. Fuax news still reigns supreme -still below the bottom of the barrel. From what i’ve read Collins was basically overwhelmed by Cult-45 and talking over her.Throw in a Cult-45 crowd in the peant gallery and the night was complete. CNN made a piss poor decision to use any woman in a format like this with Cult-45 considering the total lack of respect he has for women in general. I wish Ed Schultz was still around, would’ve been a perfect moderator to go up against Cult-45. That i would’ve watched. CNN AKA known as Conservative News Network must have made an advertising killing last night as the weapons of mass deception are all about the $$$$$$ what they spew out doesnt have to be factual anymore.
Man, just about every comment I’ve heard has been they could only stand a few minutes of it and either hit ‘off’ or changed the channel. Plus, the orange troglodyte defamed that gal he owes $5M to, again. Is he really that braindead? I guess so.
Who knows, she may get another 5 mill as he cant seem to keep his mouth shut
Man, if that ain’t the pathetic truth!
