This seems to be the modus operandi of Trump's republicans.

Enacting bills to benefit the rich.
Setting up cryptos & donation drives to bilk the poor.
Tanking the markets to stress the everyday population so that the rich can snap up devalued assets on the cheap.

All at the expense of the poor.

Trump posts as though he's typing with the Gauntlet of Infinity, but in actual fact he's doing it with the convenient power of selective dementia.

A chef cooking up an Italian pasta feast with a huge Gurnard or tilefish (Google-id).

From his showmanship to the plating, it all looks so interesting. Enjoy.

You back down from a bully, and he'll use the same threats again when he needs something else from you in the future.

If they win, private contractors could operate with even less accountability than they do now.

The Human Trafficking Case That Could Hand Government Contractors Blanket Immunity

In a little-noticed Supreme Court case, the country’s largest private prison operator argues companies should be shielded from lawsuits when doing the government’s dirty work.

The great actress Diane Keaton has left us at the age of 79. Too soon to say good-bye to the woman who made us smile at the quirky Annie Hall, and who broke our hearts in Reds. Your charm and talent will be sorely missed.
