John Roberts' wife is not the only Supreme Court spouse to shake down people with business before the court to give bribes. Ginni Thomas has a "consulting firm" (AKA a PO Box for checks) to funnel money to Clarence. #Corruption

At some point we need to realize that diplomacy is never loud, never handled via tweets of publicly paraded conversations.

Polish town’s new ‘information center’ denies murders of Jews by local Poles in 1941 Family of Jewish man who survived the Jedwabne massacre is trying to get the new installation removed: 'We call it a denial museum, because that’s what it is'

The Jedwabne pogrom of 1941 was one of the most brutal acts in the entire Shoah, committed by Poles against Polish Jews, not by the occupying Germans. Now the local government and people are denying that Poles committed this act. www.timesofisrael.com/polish-towns...

United States Conference of Catholic Bishops The Catechism of the Catholic Church on Just War Doctrine All citizens and all governments are obliged to work for the avoidance of war. However, "as long as the danger of war persists and there is no international authority with the necessary competence and power, governments cannot be denied the right of lawful self-defense, once all peace efforts have failed." (CCC, no. no.2308) The strict conditions for legitimate defense by military force require rigorous consideration. The gravity of such a decision makes it subject to rigorous conditions of moral legitimacy. At one and the same time: 1 The damage inflicted by the aggressor on the nation or community of nations must be lasting, grave, and certain; 3 There must be serious prospects of success; 2 All other means of putting an end to it must have been shown to be impractical or ineffective; 4 The use of arms must not produce evils and disorders graver than the evil to be eliminated. The power of modern means of destruction These are the traditional elements enumerated in what is called the weighs very heavily in evaluating "just war" doctrine. The evaluation of this condition. these conditions for moral legitimacy belongs to the prudential judgment of those who have responsibility for the common good. (CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, NO. 2309) The Church and human reason both assert the permanent validity of the moral law during armed conflict. "The mere fact that war has regrettably broken out does not mean that everything becomes licit between the warring parties." (CCC, no. 2312) PRAY FOR PEACE.

Since they’re abusing the Congressional Review Act to get around the filibuster, I am reserving some of my time so I can make closing remarks in the morning before the final vote. Maybe they’ll listen to reason after a night’s sleep.

Stay tuned.

RBG died Sept 18, 2020- Trump was president. He nominated her successor. Who does he think picked Amy Coney Barrett? Has he forgotten?

It’s been overshadowed by Venezuela and especially Iran, but the deadly boat bombing campaign is still going, even though:
-There’s no war
-The US wasn’t attacked or under threat
-Drug traffickers aren’t terrorists
-These may not be traffickers
-It’s blatantly illegal
-With no clear strategy either

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas blasts progressivism as threat to America He said that the values enshrined in the 1776 Declaration of Independence have “fallen out of favor” among Americans.

Genuinely funny that Sonia Sotomayor issued a public apology today for her mild criticism of a conservative colleague on a specific, substantive issue, and then a few hours later Clarence Thomas picked up a mic and was like ALL LIBERALS ARE AMERICA-HATING COWARDS

I remember those arguments!

The term genocide was coined by Raphael Lemkin specifically about the Holodomor and this absolute clown claims the goal of Holodomor recognition is to downgrade the Holocaust. Doesn't get much stupider than this.

Fucking Jacobin, man. Never disappoints.

Holodomor genocide denial is rampant and despicable. Please, if you see accounts spreading denial, recommend this free online course as push back: holodomor.ca/new-online-c...
