DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate β€” and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.

He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.

The grift continues.

It was funny to see, I don't even remember which US newspaper it was anymore, but an obit of Ali Khamenei said something to the effect of "he lived a paranoid life in which he believed the US and Israel were out to kill him, which eventually happened"

Some of the most engrossing 19th century prose I know of can be found on a website run by a retiree who has spent the last 16 years transcribing thousands of letters, almost all of them in private hands, written by Civil War soldiers. billyyankjohnnyreb.wordpress.com/2015/12/05/l... #19thCentury

War is hell, but there is a special eternal hell reserved for people who would double tap a girls’ school, and it is our job to have scrupulously fair trials and then usher the people responsible for it there

A Senator breaking the arm of a US Marine petitioning his government for a redress of grievances is what pitchforks were made for.

If US really wants help, then they can restore everything they took from Ukraine. And add in a few spare deterrent nukes too. Also a GROVELLING, really grovelling apology along the lines of a certain English King doing penance for murdering St Thomas a Beckett. He got clobbered by monks.

It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for.

Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.
