The Politics Thread

Paul Ryan stays doing the wrong this. Always.  He needs to keep putting one foot in front of the other out that door.

Unbeknownst to the American public, since late last year, the Army's Green Berets have been secretly assisting the Saudis in the brutal war in Yemen.

 

Army Special Forces Secretly Help Saudis Combat Threat From Yemen Rebels

 

"They appear to contradict Pentagon statements that American military assistance to the Saudi-led campaign in Yemen is limited to aircraft refueling, logistics and general intelligence sharing."

In a way, I feel like the numb-nuts on FNC and FBC aren't entitled to be critical of this administration after being all "Rah Rah Trump Boom Bah!" throughout the last election season.  They aided and abetted the criminal, so now, they either need to keep the love-fest going (and no doubt, some of 'em still are) or just say nothing.

THIS!

It seems as if their declarations are more about covering their own as*ses when the sh*t hits the fan than about trying to try to urge any correction of wrongdoing.  The stench is now so foul that even they can no longer hold their noses and pretend that it isn't there.

There's some really amazing organizing going on in red states. Teachers strikes and gun filibusters?

Too bad the teacher strike here, in Oklahoma, didn't yield the results many were hoping.  But, OTOH, an Internet friend of mine made a good point: the strike would have been more effective had it occurred BEFORE the State legislature had voted in the pay raises.  Once they did that, they really believed they had done all that was needed.

This is just terrible and sad.
