According to Bono on Twitter, he sends Pelosi a limerick every SPD, and this year’s was different. And it was never meant to be read out loud. But …

Now here's some solid evidence for congressional term limits. A pipe dream, I know.
Mitch is old enough to have been sitting besides Reagan at work
Pelosi is old enough to be seen arm in arm with Dianne Feinstein [emoji14]

Getting tired of hearing American pols and media carrying on about MiGs. "Send muh MiGs !!"
I don't fault Ukraine at all in asking for anything and everything. The fact is these are a handful of complicated machines needing a ton of maintenance and logistics to keep them in the air. Let's remember, the Russians have good ground-based anti-aircraft capability, too. And many jets in reserve, some being technologically advanced.
The Biden Admin/DoD seem to have done a cost-benefit analysis of quarterbacking new MiGs into the fight. At the moment, facilitating these jets just aren't worth the risk of expanding the war further into the West. It's a good call.

Mum's the word on that one, too
I, too, am shocked that Hunter Biden owned a laptop.
You don't understand. he has the details of his agreement to send Ukraine Bono's poem on that laptop.
It was downloaded into his iTunes library.

Because I wasn’t sure if Hunter had a laptop loaded with fake Russian emails, I didn’t vote for Hunter in 2020, and I for damn sure won’t be voting for Hunter again in 2024.
I’m also completely cool with other Prez kidz who have no qualifications whatsoever but are appointed by their dad to top advisory positions in the administration and use that power to make $640m cutting retail deals with China over four years.

On Iran's nukes, their oil, and America's current energy policy. Let's hope for a good result for the West.
US getting closer to reviving Iran nuclear deal but officials warn efforts could still fail
https://www.cnn.com/2022/03/03/politics/iran-nuclear-deal-us/index.html
US special envoy to Iran Rob Malley remains in Vienna, Austria, where Iran and the United States are engaged in a final round of indirect talks -- mediated by China, Russia and European parties to the agreement -- over a return to the 2015 deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) that put verifiable limits on Iran's nuclear program designed to prevent the country from obtaining a nuclear weapon.
Iran has increasingly broken away from its commitments under the agreement, and many believe it would be able to quickly develop nuclear weapons and pose a serious threat to security and stability in the Middle East if there isn't a breakthrough soon.
Some administration officials say that the war in Ukraine -- which is impacting global energy prices, a major concern for the Biden administration domestically -- has added a sense of urgency to efforts to secure a deal, but other administration officials warn against linking the two crises.
Biden willing to make 'any' concession for Iran Deal, Fmr. Attorney Gen. Barr says

It’s so obvious the path we’re heading down for 2024
Every GOP state, every GOP / Trump spokesperson has said it, they will not certify votes if it’s a Democrat winner.
Either through state certification, or winning the House of Reps.
I’d say Biden should pass some EO to try and negate these laws but they’d be overturned by the Supreme Court
I don’t know how, but you’ve got to get Manchin and Seinma on board for the voting rights act

Again: what is it with Republicans’ obsession with child pornography?
It’s not because they’re performing for the Q’ers, is it?
Because that’s a fucking disgusting thing to do.

I think it’s both a projection of themselves, and a pandering to the Q crowd. They know millions subscribe to it and therefore cannot remove them from the voting booth.
How many times do GOP rail against homosexuality or child pornography and later on they are caught in either category.
What i don’t get from the Dems is refusing to attack when the GOP do something so blatant.
We had a GOP senator come out and specifically state he wants interracial marriage removed and handled on a state by state basis.
Every Democrat, every dem party platform should have been playing that over and over.
The guy didn’t even really walk back what he said, claiming misunderstood the question but watching the video the interviewer clearly stated the question and made sure senator understood
You can still go High when the others go low, but that doesn’t mean you don’t attack at all.
The projection is learned behavior from Mango Mussolini.
The pandering to the far right and to the Q-Nuts is a calculated gamble in that they believe the majority of the American electorate doesn't pay attention to this shit on a day to day basis. Which has proven to be correct.
So they can play footsie with this crowd, which increases their base, and then every 2 years dial it back just enough to pick up the average schlub who doesn't know who is running for Congress until November and maybe watches a single debate during presidential elections.
Bad for democracy, good for consolidating power.
They've always done this, btw. They probably thought they went too far when Trump actually won the nomination - but once he actually pulled off the upset in November 2016 - it was game on.
Now it's too late to put the rabbit back in the hat

Right, so why would she bother trying to provide nuance with those words when she could just say something like “level of participation in a crime is something we take into consideration for sentencing and the level of participation is determined by the duration and severity of the actions that took place. End of story.”

Because she’s a judge, not a politician. Nuance and deep understanding of the law is her job.
