Yep. The respond by Pearson brought me chills.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
This gonna be good.
Impeach for what?
Just for being a democrat?
The GOP are just marching towards fascism in plain sight now.
The two black members expelled. Who didn't see that coming.
In a sense, if one of them had to get a pass it's best it was her. She would have been replaced by a GOPer, but I bet we see both of those stars back in the house ASAP by appointment.
Apparently the Nashville Metro council has a meeting on Monday at 4:30 to re-appoint Justin Jones. 
I say the Dems better remember that moment so they can exact proper revenge on the next time they regain the TN House.
Hopefully, we will see the day when Dems can outright expel the most racist Republicans out of any legislature.
Probably not in their or our lifetimes.
Absolutely, 100% NO!
What happened today was wrong, not because it happened to a democrat, but because it happened to elected officials who had done nothing close to what should rise to expulsion.
if it had been a Q Anon crazy I would say the same thing. The cycle has to stop or we all doom spiral.
This may have been posted in any thread covering US politics and Trump, but herego.

"President Trump embodies the American people – our psyche from id to super-ego – as does no other figure; his soul is totally bonded with our core values and emotions, and he is our total and indisputable champion," the club wrote. "This tremendous connection threatens the established order."
"If you are doing poorly, as many of you are, do not send anything. If you are doing well, which was made possible through the great policies of the Trump Administration, send your contribution to donaldjtrump.com," he wrote on Truth Social.

Money talks. I’m surprised this sort of stuff doesn’t happen more often in matured democracies because developing countries suffer from this all over the world.
I would guess it’s because the payoff would almost never offset the benefits of the money/power gained by the office that would be lost the next cycle.
In this case I think we are seeing a rep who knows that with the flip of the state SC, and now with supermajority’s in the legislature, her seat will be redrawn to make it safe. So she gets the payout and keeps the office. That will be the indicator of if this was a bought event. If the map is redrawn for her seat you can bank on it.
If that's her reasoning for leaving she is in for a rude awakening with her new party. The grift better be strong.
And they were mean to her because she didn’t show up for a vote. She’s upset that people were angry she didn’t do her damn job. She’ll fit right in with the GOP.
Justice Thomas Defends Against Allegations of Improper Gifts and Travel
He is a judge for god sake. Their ethical standards should be far higher.
What a ridiculous statement. I only work in the Oil and Gas industry and we have to pass ethics exams on acceptable gifts. And making sure it can't even be perceived as an exorbitant gift. We are talking millions of dollars worth of trips and private yachts, vacations and flights for decades. From a billionaire GOP donor and he is sitting there trying to claim he didn't think he had to report any of that?
He is a judge for god sake. Their ethical standards should be far higher.
Yet the SC has the least ethical oversight of any court system in the states.
I posted a 20+ post thread by ProPublica earlier in this thread that bulletpoints all the benefits this cnut got just from the billionaire power player. It’s unconscionable.
Same in the biotech sector. Even a dinner with big clients needs to have a business reason beyond "relationship building" and needs to be of a cost that would be classified by a normal person as reasonable. And that's just for industry customers. Clinical customers? I can't even forget to take back a pen I let them borrow. Hell, I can't even trade off paying for lunch for my MD grad school friends out of fear for break sunshine laws.
For those asking about the threat of the WI GOP impeaching Protasiewicz (it is a whole thread, so click to read the previous Tweets):
edit: Also, Ben is amazing. If we could clone him and send him to NC we would take the state in a decade.

It's absolutely abundantly clear that all the top corporations, donors, companies whatever, they all bribe their way through and with all the tough regulations and oversight commities in place, it's clear they will always find a way to tip the balance in their favour. Obviously politicians and the courts are at the top of the list. So why the feck has the SC got the least checks is beyond me.
It's absolutely insane, but not unexpected.
Oh, absolutely. As an employee I have to follow the rules or I can get fired/fined/jailed....but CEO's? Nah.
Great minds & all that.
Just deleted it because of the duplicate.
Seriously though, what is wrong with those people? I swear they are leaving themselves open to be attacked on whatever they call their behavior as "Christian".

Same mindset as the Republican cnuts in the Tennessee legislature, if you don’t look like them, chances are you won’t get the benefit.

Listen to Hanan Qahwaji try to ingratiate herself into a culture that will never accept her or respect her. It's so sad to see...

When it was raised as a headline for yesterday's podcast, I thought that was a step too far. However, we are definitely getting to the same point as when some racist feckers tried to block the application of federal desegregation laws for schools in the 1950s and early 1960s.
The federal government should outright threaten taking away all federal funding that should go to the State of Tennessee. Meanwhile, the feds can open back channels to funnel that money directly to the City of Memphis and Shelby County.

Every time I see or hear the words ‘Mein Kampf,’ I instantly think of this. No clue if the YT clip is real or satire, but I laugh out loud every time seeing it…
When I think of Minecraft and a silly Nazi reference, who can forget this one?
I WAS GONNA BUILD LIKE A F*CKING FARM HERE... AND YOU BUILT AUSCHWITZ!!!
