You and Jim Brown have it all wrong. According To Trump's admission the other day, "Israel literally owned congress", so as the rightful owners, they didn't exercise proper managerial oversight in allowing all of this to happen. Therefore, they are responsible...

Seems more like somebody is the Justice department simply listened to the demands of the lawyers involved and then MAGA media in the first post ran with it in another one of their screwed-up narratives...

" The Justice Department has told attorneys representing those families that the settlement figures reported in the media "are higher than anywhere that settlement can land," ACLU Executive Director Anthony D. Romero told CNN earlier this week."

Supreme Court Upholds Maine's Vaccine Mandate

Posted By Rod Kaufman

Get a load of Amy's explanation for voting with the majority to uphold the mandate: "she decided against voting to grant such "extraordinary relief" in part because the case arose on the court's emergency docket and the justices did not have the benefit of a full briefing and oral arguments." Apparently nobody else thought that one up.
It's reminiscent of Barret being queried by Klobuchar during the affirmation process wherein the senator asked Barrett about her take on voting affirmatively on a voting rights law and Barrett responded she could only do so in some kind of a hypothetical scenario if such a law came to pass and then Klobuchar had to remind her such a law already exists...

Covid Vaccines Offer Much Better Protection Than Natural Immunity

Posted By Rod Kaufman

"A new study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) finds that vaccination provides better protection against hospitalization with COVID-19 than a previous infection with the virus.
"The analysis found people hospitalized with coronavirus-like symptoms were more than five times more likely to test positive for COVID-19 if they had had recent prior infection than if they were recently vaccinated."

The Torturing Of A Terrorist

Posted By Rod Kaufman

"Seven members of a military jury condemned the United States’ treatment of a terrorist and urged that he be granted clemency in a letter addressed to the officer who will review the case"
"The harsh rebuke comes after the Guantanamo Bay detainee testified last Thursday on abuse he suffered while in the CIA’s overseas prison network between 2003 and 2006. He claimed he had been subjected to waterboarding, forced enemas and feedings, as well as other forms of sexual and physical abuse."

What Lindsey Graham Said When His Hide Was On The Line

Posted By Rod Kaufman

"As lawmakers were being evacuated from the Capitol on Jan. 6, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) reportedly told the Senate sergeant-at-arms to use guns to quell the people who had breached the building."
"According to a long-form piece published by The Washington Post on Sunday, the Republican senator was furious that lawmakers were being forced to evacuate and yelled at the Senate sergeant-at-arms, "What are you doing? Take back the Senate! You’ve got guns. Use them.”
“We give you guns for a reason,”
"Graham also called former President Trump's daughter Ivanka Trump, giving her suggestions on what her father should say to appeal to the rioters to calm down and vacate the Capitol."
“You need to get these people out of here,” Graham reportedly said to Ivanka Trump over the phone. “This thing is going south. This is not good. You’re going to have to tell these people to stand down. Stand down.”

So much for MAGA media and Greg's version of a peaceful protest and rally at the capitol on January 6th...
