Rep Senators confirmed Todd Blanche! Who are those people!!!??? So weak, so corrupted! I’m ready for another big show of sanity in our streets: when is the next No King or something similar?

Those protests don’t do a damn thing

I actually disagree with that, Anita. They galvanize us. We feel less alone. We feel our power. I think that's most helpful.

That’s true but it very rarely ever brings about change. Protests at the state and local levels can bring change but national politics…nope

Your whole government is a cesspool of corruption and deceit. By the end of the year you will be 40 Trillion dollars in debt. So much for the golden age. How many generations will it take to balance the books?

It will take 50 years to pay off the debt and 4 years to balance the budget. To pay off the debt in 50 years it will cost $850 billion per year with no additional spending.

But the GOP (who sorta used to fuss about a balance budget) say being that far in debt is good for America, especially the middle class and it seems a lot of folks continue to believe that.

While I think it's cowardly that the GOP approved blanche, I do agree a little with the sentiment that if they didn't trump would only get someone worse, and until that date blanche would be acting AG anyway. And the truth is, as hard as it is to believe, there MIGHT be someone worse than blanche...someone just as loyal to trump with no regard for the rule of law but who is more competent than blanche and might actually win a case or two. No decent person will ever go to work for trump so the options are someone just like blanche or worse. I do feel a little bad for the legal profession and attorneys who actually want to do good as the American people continue to see that attorneys don't have be above the law any more than any trump supporters...they are corrupt, they lie, they ignore court orders, and that leads to a great deal of disrespect for the profession. The fact that it appears that Bar associations will not do anything to most of these attorneys, and that adds to the disrespect.

"The man who once defended Trump in court now runs the agency that’s supposed to hold him accountable. That’s not an appointment. That’s an insurance policy."

Let's just change the name of our country to "Corruption". At least it would be accurate.

So, he has gotten his Roy Cohn. Roy Cohn died miserably of AIDS. He contracted it through sex with men though he strongly criticized the Gay Community. Denying your own self was fitting for a man with no ethics.

My only comment is why in bloody hell would you put your work onto FACEBOOK?

Nope, my other comment is - of course Blanche was confirmed by one vote. Because this time Trump didn't need 11,780 votes. When the MAGA fix is in, the Dog & Pony Show is unnecessary. Because We the People need to have these pedo enablers exposed every chance we get. Tell me, did anyone expect that if Blanche was *not* confirmed that Trump would have reached into his cess pool and pulled out someone better for the nation??? Of course not. So let's just keep underscoring the endless failures that Blanche represents, shall we?

Here’s a new rule idea. Senate affirmations need to be 2/3s. This 50-49 is stupid. Party lines should not control the future of our country.

Political games need to end. I’ll vote for this if you do that. This is the games career politicians make from both parties. We need new blood who will say no games I work for my people.

We’re passing another sanctions package against Russia? Nobody noticed that sanctions against Russian oil drive up world oil prices, and thus enrich Russia?

This exercise in trying to punish Russia for existing has failed about as spectacularly as the attempt to punish Iran for controlling its territorial waters AKA Hormuz.

Interpol is the only way to correct what’s going on.

MAGA Trump leadership is the problem. No worries, the progressives are on the rise.

If Trump wants to build a ballroom let him pay for it and build it in Florida with his own money. Let him fix his gift jet with his own money. Much of his fortune has come from US taxpayers so send him the bill for fixing the reflecting pool, the partition that hides his name on the Kennedy Center, the destruction and restoration of the West Wing and other projects that Congress has not approved.

Need a Peace Deal in the Middle East, General? Take this to Congress for a vote. Trumps war against Iran has been paid for by Saudi and other world leaders, in damage to their own nations and for cleanup for bombing and destruction around USA bases within their territory. Send Trump and the Gaza Board of Peace and other Trump-Responsible scams, the Bill. Israel must pay for removal of all Isreli outposts that have been built past the "yellow line" in Gaza or to change them into aide stations, clinics and schools or other civic buildings for Gaza.

Send the Board of Peace the bill. Foreign nations and their leaders have paid enough toTrump/s Board of Peacre for that. Make this reparations to Gaza that can be PART of the Iran Peace Plan. USA must do the the rest by removal of all humanitarian sanctions placed on IRAN for decades. Israelis MUST do the rest in reparations to neighboring nations for rebuilding from Israel's destruction and displacement harms and put a stop to bombing and attacks to Gaza, Lebanon, Jorden and Yeman.

There you have a Peace Deal in the Middle East. Isreli reparations to GAZA begin with removal of all illegal Settlers from Palestein illegal settlements and using this housing and real estate for resettlement of Palestinians. This plan should be enforced by UN troops and neigotiated with USA and IRAN with Isreli agreement. This will allow Israel to continue to exist in its stolen location and not be removed to a new one, as part of any Peace Treaty..
