I'd love to see a reboot of The Rutles, maybe as a live stage musical. It'd be tough to replace Neil Innes though. Best Beatles parody ever

Seriously though. While the Supreme Court is pondering about whether Trump can be convicted of a crime, whether under the cover of 'official duties' and what constitutes 'official duties' - while in office....
... WHY THE FUCK DON'T WE JUST SKIP THE FUCKING MIDDLE MAN AND CONVICT HIM FOR THE CRIMES HE DID AND IS DOING WHILE NOT IN OFFICE?
Start with the years of Tax fraud, I'm sure that'll lead to more. See Al Capone.

Allowing the government to fine & imprison people for being #homeless will do nothing to solve the nation’s #homelessness crisis. And it’s astoundingly cruel—as Sotomayor said, these towns seem to want homeless people to just “kill themselves.”

We humans have really screwed ourselves. And it all started with the automobile, which led to mass production lots of jobs, highways & endless suburbs full of homes for all those factory workers.
Then we decided to outsource all the factory jobs to other countries. Later, we outsourced the computer industry (that required a lot more education than the manufacturing ind.).
We are left with a lot of home no one can afford, and a lot of people who cant afford to live anywhere.
Why the world cannot afford the rich.

Some people on the left have been criticized (and often with reason) for trying to control the way people think by controlling their vocabulary. But this criticism has been so one-sided that many people assume that this kind of effort is a "woke" thing.
But it's not. People on the right do exactly the same thing, and perhaps even more obsessively. It's just not covered as intensively.
Here's a bunch of Rs getting twisted over the word 'free.'
The aid bills are great.
Yet the one piece that will most piss off Putin is...
The House passed a foreign aid package on Saturday as well as what's called the REPO Act that will allow the Biden administration to confiscate billions of dollars’ worth of Russian assets sitting in U.S. banks and transfer them to Ukraine for reconstruction.
Kremlin broadcasters are quite elated that Taylor Greene, is echoing Kremlim propaganda that the Ukraine government is full of nazis and with her attempt to block the military funding to Ukraine. The Russian media has considered her as a big joke in the past. Pres. Zelensky is a Jew and Taylor Greene ignores that. She is at best ignorant and uninformed and succeeds in revealing her anti-American stance. She should be removed from Congress.
