Reuters’ headline sure softpedals the facts. I can almost hear an editor saying, We want something upbeat, dang it — make it cheerier!

“The courts are trying to do the best with what they’ve been given, which is a crappy statute that doesn’t make any sense,” said Ryan Dischinger, a public defender. “This statute was passed because, quite frankly, our legislature doesn’t like to look at homeless people.”

To whatever extent prosecutors & judges are trying to be decent about it, thanks and all, but the trying to be decent can end with any election. This law is just a loaded gun pointed at poor people.

Well, they’re not right if they were harping on “Jesus is coming again!” but other than that, I too might owe Mom & Dad and apology.

More clearly than ever in my life, I can see the end — the end of me, the end of America (whatever that really was), and the end of everything. It’s all so clear, it’s difficult to see anything else, even when I turn away.

He attended Trump’s speech, then left and died on his way home. Symbolism much?

I think they mean Red White & Blueland.

I will be sleepless for months, in anticipation of this momentous decision.

There’s so much insanity, I’d need advanced software to rank the levels of nuttiness among Trump’s cabinet and inner circle.

All true, but Vance is not God Almighty to MAGA people, and he wouldn’t have absolute support on everything from the Republican Congress.

Oh, another America-hater, I see.

I used to think Vance was more dangerous, but Trump has taken a formidable lead in the insanity standings. Anyway, there’s plenty of 25th Amendment for Vance as well.

Jeez.

She’s probably on another dinner date with Vlad Putin.

Well, I would only know my local area, where nobody’s seriously impressed me. We sure need some people to STEP UP and either run or lead a genuine opposition.

I like Ocasio-Cortez, Bernie Sanders, Jasmine Crockett, Maxwell Frost, Al Green, maybe Melanie Stansbury… not many more. Damn near all the other Democrats in Congress are reacting to the end of America as if it’s item number four on this week’s agenda.

These are the Democrats who voted to censure Rep Al Green for disrupting Trump’s speech to Congress:

Ami Bera, D-Calif
Ed Case, D-Hawaii
Jim Costa, D-Calif
Laura Gillen, D-NY
Jim Himes, D-Conn
Chrissy Houlahan, D-Pa
Marcy Kaptur, D-Ohio
Jared Moskowitz, D-Fla
Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, D-Wash
Tom Suozzi, D-NY
and Shomari Figures, D-Alabama, who voted ‘present’

You’re right. Fixed it, thanks.

The mildest symbolic gestures, usually accompanied by emails begging donations, while Republicans sledgehammer America.

Hakeem Jeffries, is that you?

Politically, I’d be there if not for Jill Stein.

The question is specifically the billionaire’s behavior toward Russia.

It would be helpful to have it confirmed, but it’s highly unlikely. The KGB is generally hush-hush, so we’re going to have to decide without explicit evidence, but Occam’s razor is good enough for me.
