Larry Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 I've said for decades that the people who claim to be opposed to abortion, are actually opposed to sex. But they know that they can't criminalize sex. So their goal is to make sex as dangerous as possible, and hope that the danger leads to less sex. That's why the anti abortion crowd opposes contraception. They oppose availability of condoms. They oppose sex education. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 46 members of Congress have violated a conflicts-of-interest law At least 46 members of 118th Congress have violated a federal insider trading and conflicts-of-interest law, a Raw Story analysis of congressional financial disclosures reveals. Most of these violations involve failures to properly disclose stock trades as required by the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act of 2012. Some involve not abiding by the transparency and personal financial disclosure requirements first outlined in the STOCK Act's post-Watergate predecessor, the Ethics in Government Act of 1978. The most significant violator clocked in as much as six-and-a-half years late when reporting up to $8.5 million in stock transactions — Rep. Rick Allen (R-GA). Another lawmaker was just a couple days late but still logged up to $165,000 in late stock disclosures — Rep. John Curtis (R-UT). Between them are numerous other Republicans and Democrats alike who have consistently failed to abide by the STOCK Act.

Because they want more white babies is one reason. They figure without pregnancy healthcare, some babies and mothers of color will die so the end result will be more white people. Also, ultimately control of women into the home and out of the workplace. Believe me, these people are certifiable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 House Republicans Blast Rep. Troy Nehls for Wearing Revoked Military Pin House Republicans slammed their colleague Rep. Troy Nehls (R-TX) for continuing to wear a military honor pin that he didn’t earn and demanded that the GOP congressman give it up, NOTUS reported. Nehls, an Army veteran, has worn the Combat Infantryman badge for service in Afghanistan since he joined the House in 2021, but that honor was revoked from his record in March 2023, after it was discovered that the pin had been awarded by mistake. Still, Nehls continues to wear it around the halls of Congress—a move that some of his fellow veterans on Capitol Hill consider an affront. At least eight GOP reps expressed to NOTUS their outright disapproval of Nehls, and many of them said he needed to stop wearing it. “As a former commander, it matters what you wear on your uniform,” Rep. Ryan Zinke (R-MT), a retired Navy SEAL, told NOTUS. “And if you didn’t earn it, you shouldn’t wear it.” Rep. Wesley Hunt (R-TX) was outraged when he heard about Nehls’ decision: “That’s ridiculous. That’s stolen valor.” Click on the link for more 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fan since a Fetus Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Lindsey should say that to the face of one of the last remaining D-Day survivors. He would probably catch a fist to the face and deservingly so. He wouldn’t be free to cross dress at home if it weren’t for our brave citizens who put themselves in danger everyday. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 Jim Jordan’s Trump Conspiracy Debunked By DOJ Findings The Department of Justice (DOJ) has explicitly stated that there were no communications between the department and the Manhattan district attorney’s office regarding the prosecution of former President Trump, and again chastised House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) for perpetuating baseless claims and spreading a “conspiracy theory.” The DOJ’s exhaustive search yielded no evidence of coordination between the department and the Manhattan District Attorney’s office, as confirmed in a letter addressed to Jordan by Carlos Uriarte, head of legislative affairs for the Justice Department. Uriarte emphasized the complete independence of the District Attorney’s office from federal oversight. “We found none,” Uriarte wrote to Jordan. “This is unsurprising. The District Attorney’s office is a separate entity from the Department. The Department does not supervise the work of the District Attorney’s office, does not approve its charging decisions, and does not try its cases. The Department has no control over the District Attorney, just as the District Attorney has no control over the Department. The Committee knows this,” he added. Click on the link for the full article Oh, BTW, in case you had any doubt what a useless POS Jim Jordan is, he has been in Congress since 2006, and has sponsored 0 legislation that has ever been enacted. He is completely an performative ass, with no idea of how to actually legislate (you know...his job). 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 House votes to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt over Biden audio The Republican-controlled House narrowly voted Wednesday to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress, a major escalation in the GOP's war against a justice system the party has portrayed as unfairly targeting Donald Trump. The vote was 216-207, with one Republican, Rep. David Joyce of Ohio, joining all Democrats in voting no. Seven Democrats and one Republican didn't vote. At issue was Garland's failure to hand over audio of special counsel Robert Hur's interview with President Joe Biden about his handling of classified documents. Republicans had demanded the audio after Hur declined to prosecute Biden, in part, because a jury might sympathize with him as an "elderly man with a poor memory." Democrats countered that the full transcript of the Biden interview has already been released to the public, and they sounded warnings that Republicans could manipulate the audio. Despite the successful contempt vote, it’s largely a political exercise. Biden and his administration have asserted executive privilege in refusing to hand over the audio, all but eliminating the possibility that Garland would be prosecuted for ignoring the subpoenas. It’s also unheard of for Justice Department prosecutors to go after the head of their agency over a contempt issue.

China Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 DOJ memo says Garland cannot be prosecuted for contempt over Biden-Hur audio An internal Justice Department (DOJ) memo argued Attorney General Merrick Garland would be protected from prosecution for contempt of Congress given President Biden’s assertion of executive privilege over audio tapes Republicans have sought by subpoena. The 57-page memo from the department’s Office of Legal Counsel (OLC), obtained by The Hill, lays out the case for Garland’s refusal to turn over the audio of Biden’s conversation with special counsel Robert Hur. The GOP already has a transcript of the interview. The OLC, which operates as a legal adviser for the department, wrote that no administration official has been prosecuted for failing to comply with a subpoena when the president has claimed executive privilege. “For nearly seven decades and across presidential administrations of both parties, the Executive Branch has taken the position that the criminal contempt of Congress statute … does not apply to Executive Branch officials who do not comply with a congressional subpoena based on a presidential assertion of executive privilege,” according to the memo.

China Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 Watch: Jim Jordan takes Matt Gaetz to the woodshed for derailing Trump conviction hearing Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) clashed with Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) at a hearing on Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's prosecution of former President Donald Trump. Moments after the hearing got underway on Thursday, Chairman Jordan called on Gaetz to question witnesses for five minutes. However, Gaetz offered a motion to subpoena Bragg and Assistant District Attorney Matthew Colangelo. Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) objected to the motion. "It's a little absurd because Mr. Bragg and Mr. Colangelo have already agreed to appear before the committee on July 12th," Nadler noted. "I don't know what this debate is about." Jordan stepped in to ask Gaetz to withdraw his motion. "Mr. Bragg and Mr. Colangelo have agreed to come on the 12th," Jordan observed. "If they don't show up on the 12th, they will be subpoenaed. I would ask the gentleman if he could withdraw the motion." Gaetz, however, refused to withdraw the motion. "I've made a motion to subpoena these people now, pursuant to the rules, and I want to vote on my motion, or I want someone to move to table it," the Florida Republican demanded. After a Democrat moved to table the motion, Jordan scrambled to prevent a vote. "It's not debatable," Gaetz insisted. "This is crazy," someone could be heard saying.
