Spiteful c*nts, every last one of them.
*Spiteful ****s that have never cared about the wellbeing of the citizens they are meant to serve, only how much power, profit, and protection they can extract via their positions in government, every last one of them.

Sound familiar?

A cunts move. But Biden can always just ask the Fed to make more.

It is that not easy when it comes to publicly distributable money, unfortunately. That normally must go through congressional appropriation/approval, hence the need for the CARES Act in the first place. Mnuchin is locking this money in to the Treasury’s General Fund for a reason. He could earmark it for distribution — either direct or via business support — prior to the transition date but is intentionally choosing not to do so because locking up yet another source of funding for direct stimulus forces the Biden admin in to congressional negotiation. They want to funnel everything Biden does through McConnell (barring both runoff GA senate seats going to the Dems).
 
Do you know the story behind that picture of twins?
Only what I just googled. I will read the article about the photographer: Roger Ballen.
It was only after posting the photo that I saw they were from the Transvaal.
Do you know anything about them? I have seen the photo many times over the years and always wondered what story was.

This is a much kinder photo


Seems that RB wasn't necessarily clear about his intentions for the photos but I suppose most (people who had worked as) war photographers would have been like that.

Rather than edit my post I thought this should stand alone. There is a much later photo of the two of them wearing jumpers and laughing uproariously and looking rather sweet. Apparently they both have mental age of a five year old and are living in a care home suited to their needs.
They are much beloved by the staff there and like to give out hugs and they laugh all day.
I can't say that I don't feel bad but I have learned a couple of things.
They still look scary as fuck in the older photo.

Thankyou, I was justing typing a rather contrite post to say that apparently they are both really sweet and beloved by their carers; enjoy giving hugs and laugh all day.
Unfortunately I hit the back button and lost my post.

Amazing how a picture doesn't always tell a thousand words; at least not accurate ones necessarily anyway.
 
If he isn’t prosecuted it is a clear demonstration that the rule of law doesn’t apply to someone just because a lot of people like him. That would be the most dangerous outcome by far. He needs to be prosecuted with every minute in court televised if only to methodically present the evidence to the public which will hopefully deradicalise those of his followers that aren’t too far gone. Probably not that many to be fair.
SDNY is going to focus on the completely non-political issue of whether he defrauded the IRS, Deutsche Bank or his insurers by lying about his financial condition or the value of his assets. As I said before, it's Federally-unpardonable, specific to his time before he was President, easy to understand, a reasonably simple standard of black and white proof, not a he said/she said (as any of the sexual assault charges would inevitably end up being), and, as with other mob kingpins who get tripped up on tax evasion or RICO, works to deny criminals their freedom even if their worse crimes go unpunished.

It beggars belief to think that he didn't want those tax returns released for any reason other than the information contained within shows he lied to someone else, and he'd never have been working so hard to keep them if there wasn't something that could get him jammed up.

Another complete ****. Mnuchin that is. How many cunts is it possible for one political party to have?
I hope the law is brought against them all, they need to be held responsible for their crimes.
Taking the easy route and not going after them just makes it all the easier for another Trump to run again in 2024.
 
I see Biden has broken through 80 million in the popular vote. Still over a million votes to be tallied in New York state so the final margin could end up being around 4.5% - within the margin of error of many of the widely discredited pre-election polls.
It's also impossible to know what effect the Trump voter suppression and post office hobbling efforts had on the vote but if they hadn't happened the gap would certainly not be any closer and could well have been significantly wider.
I guess the main reason the gap isn't even wider is that the turnout in the non-marginal states was noticeably lower than the battleground states, and the largest of those states (CA, NY and IL) are solidly blue.
