You think they’d go to a dentist who’d never used a drill, or leave their car in the shop with a mechanic who didn’t know how to drive? No way.
But when it comes to protecting public health, sustaining human life, ensuring a future for our species, they want ignorance and denial.
An illegal immigrant, lied about his residency status, upended democracy by buying an election, has committed innumerable business frauds, now wants to destroy America and rob working Americans of every bit of benefit to which they are entitled and have paid for.
And a clown–is there anything in public life more ludicrous than the sight of Musk and his Tweedledum Vivek prancing around the halls of Congress?
is exemplified by craven, cowering ABC News, which rather than submit Trump to the deposition he was ordered to sit for, groveled and is paying him $15,000,000 plus issuing an apology because George Stephanopolous called Trump a convicted rapist (which the Judge Lewis Kaplan said he is.)
Of course Trump or a surrogate made threats to ABC brass.
As Tom Joseph points out, the MAGAs now celebrating that Trump should be termed instead “guilty of sexual assault” are delusional.
The corporate media largely ignored the negative ramifications of this bill, accepting City Hall’s branding that it was about building affordable housing. (If you want to know why The New York Times reports on zoning and land-use issues the way it does, look at who makes up their Executive Board–and make a point to look at who’s on all the other Executive Boards.) The term “affordable housing” has been so abused that it means absolutely nothing at this point.
The Queens Eagle tried to provide some balance, quoting Council Member Bob Holden: “It’s really egregious that we’re turning over many of the decisions to developers, so most of our accomplishments will be totally eliminated. City of Yes is a developer’s dream and a neighborhood’s nightmare.”
100 story buildings were already permitted under the city’s previous zoning restrictions; now 150-story buildings will be permitted.
Btw, if the city really wanted to address the housing crisis, it would prevente landlords from warehousing rent-regulated apartment units.
Will the Democratic Establishment ever learn that lesson?
Trump’s never met any of the promises he made on the campaign trail. Fixing inflation? Ending all wars? Why, he soesn’t even know who they are.
Just the way he did when he helped cover up vital information on Brett Kavanaugh’s misconduct in 2018.
Wray was appointed as FBI head for a ten year term. Democrats respect that these appointmennts should be non political. By his craven acquiescen to the whims of Herr Trump, Wray is paving the waqy for the destruction of the FBI and of law and order in this country via Truimp’s installation of mayhem enthuiast Kash Patel–who plans to end the Bureau’s counter-terrorism efforts.

Did you know that. miscreant Pete Hegseth was being paid 5 million a year to host a weekend show on Fox? Just so long as the pernicious, treasonous trash kept flowing.
Not if it any way interferes with her political advancement.
Threats or promises were obviouslyy made to get Sen. Ernst to do a 180 and now support Pete Hegseth: a drunk, a rapist, a financial mismanager, a theocrat, an Islamophobe, an opponent of America who thinks any American who disagrees with him should be persected.
The GOP are now going to endorse traitorous criminality as never before. There is no way for this party to redeem itself as it doubles down on rejecting morality and patriotism. There is absolutely no bottom for the GOP.
