Open Thread January 13

by Carl Ballard — Monday, 1/13/20, 8:00 am

The legislative session starts today. So here’s the annual what would you like them to pass post. For me:

– A capital gains tax would be a real step toward making the state’s tax system more fair. I would prefer an income tax, but I don’t think that it has the votes.

– I don’t have much faith that they’ll do much good on transportation, but at least don’t fuck it up any worse by caving in to another unconstitutional Eyman initiative.

    Demorat Pornstar Party Of Hate America & Iran’s Best Ally News – Demorats And Their Lying Rat Media Allies Spew Iranian Propaganda Claiming Dead Terrorist Was A National Hero.
    ————
    Democrats were in mourning last week following the death of Iranian al-Quds Leader Qassem Soleimani. Prominent Democrats like Liz Warren, Pete Buttigieg and literally any mainstream media outlet blamed Trump for this horrible action that will only unite Iranians.
    Speaker Pelosi could not decide whose side she was on — the freedom protesters in Iran or the mullahs.
    Wow! @SpeakerPelosi will not say she supports #IranProtests2020 & questions the reason for them. “Whatever it is… There were protesters in streets before.” @realDonaldTrump #IranianProtesters pic.twitter.com/p1rBSnrrDq

    But a new video released today shows the contrast in the Democrat Party’s view of Soleimani compared to the average Iranian’s view of the dead thug.
    his video is a compilation of the ridiculous remarks & lies aired by certain DC politicians & MSM about #Iran & the killing of Qassem Soleimani.
    Please watch to the end of this 1:51 video & you’ll realize that #IraniansDetestSoleimani. pic.twitter.com/AeoF4Jxuio

    Don’t worry, Doctor, help is on the way.

    “The Russian military is now deploying its hackers to hunt for dirt on Biden too: report”

    So anyways, Doctor, what price will America have to pay Putin for this assistance he’s giving you? What deal did you work out? Little doubt here you’re going to give him Ukraine. Are you also going to let him raise the Russian flag over the WH, Capital Building and all of the nation’s post offices after you surrender our military to him?

    Mitt Romney announces he will vote against McConnell — and approve witnesses during impeachment: report

    Rick Perry communications with Ukrainians — and Rudy Giuliani — to be publicly released: report

    Indicted Giuliani henchman hands over material ‘relevant to impeachment inquiry’ to Adam Schiff

    The Teabaggers never really cared about the deficit,. All they really care about is money going to black people. They were driven by racism and not fiscal responsibility

    Moscow Mitch has another problem on his hands. Donald was going to save coal.

    Kentucky miners working for Quest Energy who haven’t been paid since Christmas have blocked the tracks preventing coal trains from moving. In Western Kentucky. They are vowing not to move until they are paid.

    But it’s all great. The stock market is high. The parent, American Resources Company Saw their stock surge in 2017 only to see it fall and is now trading at the level before Donald took office.

    Miners are saying the are owed between $2000-3000 that the company seems unable to pay.

    $3000? That’s TRUMP change to corporations.

    Google it Dumbfuck.

    But but but they are our PARTNERS! We killed a General in Iraq because they asked us to. They are the bulwark against Iran… We would never Muslim Ban our good friends in the region.

    Attorney General William Barr announced Monday that 21 Saudi military cadets studying at U.S. military bases are being sent back to their home country after investigators found child pornography, “jihadi or anti-American content” on accounts or devices associated with the students.

    The announcement comes a month after a Saudi national opened fire in a classroom at a naval base in Pensacola, Fla., killing three young sailors and wounding eight others.

    Special thanks to the amazing team https://expert-writers.net service behind this company, I would never get to where I am now if not for your determination and professionalism. Not only they proofread my application and made necessary alterations, but I also received a list of suggestions on how to improve my sample to better adjust it to APA style.
