Funny. The Indian nationals that I worked with, in high tech roles, often had a much better command of the English language than the knuckle-dragging Trumpkin idiots I had the displeasure of having to work near.

Also, when I worked overseas with NATO / USN, I was one of the few who actually bothered to learn the host country's language. The Brits and Americans simply didn't bother, and mostly didn't stray far from the base. Their loss. No doubt most are Trumpkins / Brexiteers now. Sad.

GOP Rep. Amash becomes first Republican to call for Trump's impeachment

Such a rarity these days - an honest Repube. Wish they were all like him.

I'd settle for half. I really hope that Pelosi and Schumer tell their counterparts that until they bring a majority of Repubes to the Impeachment cotillion, they can piss up a rope. Let Trump's moldering corpse hang around their necks until the election.

On Thursday, lawyers for Roger Stone, whose travel is restricted ahead of his November trial on obstruction of justice and perjury charges, requested a judge’s permission to visit Tennessee and Illinois “for business opportunities.”

One of those opportunities is at the Pony, an adult entertainment club in Memphis, where Stone is scheduled to appear June 5-7. A longtime political adviser to President Donald Trump, Stone “is coming out to judge the national exotic dancer competition that we’re hosting,” the club’s owner, Jerry Westlund.

Justin Amash

@justinamash

Here are my principal conclusions:

1. Attorney General Barr has deliberately misrepresented Mueller’s report.
2. President Trump has engaged in impeachable conduct.
3. Partisanship has eroded our system of checks and balances.
4. Few members of Congress have read the report.

Despite national security concerns, GOP leader McCarthy blocked bipartisan bid to limit China’s role in U.S. transit

Sad to admit this scumbag is from the Golden State. We have Trumpkin idiots here too, unfortunately.

Leonard Leo helped conservative nonprofits raise $250 million from mostly undisclosed donors in recent years to promote conservative judges and causes

https://www.washingtonpost.com/graph...society-courts

Speaking of vast Right-Wingnut conspiracies... The Federalist Society wants to take away your hard-earned rights. They have huge influence over the Supreme Court, and are making vast headway in court appointments, with the disgusting Mitch McConnell's help. Absolutely essential to vote Repubes out of office to stop their fascist destruction of our great democracy.

A Republican state lawmaker in Mississippi was arrested after he allegedly punched his wife for not undressing quickly enough when he wanted to have sex, according to a report from The Sun Herald.
