The gaggle of lawyers were all walking away from that news conference with big “I’m gonna get paid today!” smiles. The damage goes well beyond what Dominion suffered. Our society will never get retribution for Fox enabling Donald Trump’s lies.
@WordsmithFL they bought their way out of facing justice. That’s a shame.
@NaomiSkarzinski She writes one of the best daily columns in this country. She should be required reading by all the citizens of this country.
@XaoslordErie @Paul13 agreed. The pace is much improved and I’ve enjoyed watching a few games this new season.
The Tennessee Speaker that led the removal of two black representatives apparently doesn't live in the district he represents. That should be a reason for removing a representative. He's taken maximum per diem payments for living 200 miles away from Nashville.

@DevinY1 I think that most of that is rooted in frustration. The extreme right simply ignores the rules - they've made fascism their platform and that Dems are overly-polite in their dealing with that fact. It wouldn't hurt them to play some hardball on occasion. They're getting gerrymandered into extinction.
@Lulz4l1f3 I'm so sorry for you - there are some really fine people that I've met when in Memphis and Nashville - they're being drowned by fascists and people that don't care at this point.
Hey Tennessee - the whole world is watching!
I saw a production of Cabaret yesterday afternoon that had me in tears as it has more relevance today than it ever did. It was a truly disturbing and thought provoking experience.
@Amyfb I get mine next month and I can't wait. I love taking the train into Philly and have been doing so my whole life. I used to take the train to see the Phillies play at Connie Mack and there is not a better place on earth to lunch at then the Reading Terminal Market - Enjoy your day!
The events of the past few days - Tennessee, Supreme Court judges for sale, hatred for LGBTQ people and stupid repressive laws meant to bolster and promote hate has me feeling like there's only a few of us paying attention and we're afflicted with having a conscience. Most of society seems to be acting like the hell scape being created is perfectly normal. It'll never end this way.

Texas, Florida, Idaho, Tennessee, Kansas, and many other states are effectively declaring that they're not part of the United States anymore and don't have to abide by democratic norms. It's a quiet Civil War.
But we should be used to this. This is what most of the southern states did from about 1890 to 1964: created an _imperium in imperio_ where Constitutional rights did not run and you could be lynched for asking for them.

This is Tennesse House Speaker Cameron Sexton
. In 2019 he declined to expel a rep who was accused of, and later admitted to, sexually abusing 3 underage girls
Tonight he voted to expel 3 democratic reps for protesting against kids getting shot in their own classrooms
He rather protect Pedos than People
@JCAlexandreWrites books are obviously their enemy.

Right wing rag wrote a story about Judge Merchan's daughter. Her picture was shared by Eric Trump, Trump Jr, and Margie three names on Social media
This is coordinated Stochastic Terrorism
@DrJackBrown the sleeze doesn't fall far from the tree.
