Now I try not to be vindictive. That really does set well with my Buddhist tendencies, but I must admit many small packets of vindication seemed to be flying our way today. Even as ISIS is out there bombing children with their misguided vengeance for the deaths of Syrian and Iraqi children and our president is calling them "losers" - there is enough going on today on the home front that should give Air Force One and its passengers pause. Maybe their final and last stop should be Siberia.
The Supreme Court in a 4-3 vote (upturned by none other than conservative Clarence Thomas!) ruled against North Carolina voting redistricting, agreeing it was as racist. This is a direct result of the dismantling of the voting rights act so its heartening to see. What is more the former head of the FBI testified on the Hill today and said he was concerned enough about Russian espionage last summer to call an FBI investigation into the campaign and contacts with Trump's campaign. When asked if there were anyone who might be trying to cover up these contacts he said that would need to be disclosed in a closed session without public access. Not good news for Trump and cronies. Not to mention everyone - everyone except donkey ears Ryan - hates the budget which Mnuchin says does a favor to the taxpayer. Even top Republicans are saying the only tax payers it gives any break to are the billionaires. Then!! New Hampshire delivers the first special election victory for a democrat. Edith DesMarais won for State Senate in a red district that went for Trump in November.
They should definitely stay away. I think we can handle things without them.
