Ladies and gents … meet Pedro Pierluisi, he’s the current governor of Puerto Rico!! Why, oh why? He knew that oil companies have kicked back hundreds of millions of dollars to Puerto Rico politicians.
Corruption, greed and power – the only fuel for ‘governing’ any which way they can!!
Follow these postings … “Over the next few days, I will detail how Gov. Pierluisi is enslaving the entire island for generations to come.”
Pedro Pierluisi was a pit bull attorney. He won $180 million in damages for the government of Peru and was, from 1993 to 1997, the Secretary of Justice of Puerto Rico. But he never made any real money until 2008, when he became the island’s Resident Commissioner.
A “Resident Commissioner” is a non-voting member of US Congress. They can attend committee hearings and introduce legislation. They can’t vote on any bills, not even their own…but in restless hands, the position can be a US Treasury printing press. Pedro Pierluisi printed early and often.
He knew that oil companies have kicked back hundreds of millions of dollars to Puerto Rico politicians. So if Pierluisi could, single-handedly, shut out those oil companies and make liquid natural gas (LNG) the principal energy source for PREPA, the LNG industry would make him as rich as Croesus.
This post is about the insurrection of 06 January and the breach of the Capitol building by protesters (rioters).
Was that a once in a lifetime incident?
A recent poll showed that most Americans think it is a distinct possibility….
A broad majority of Americans say that political violence in response to election results is likely in the United States in the next few years, according to a new CNN Poll conducted by SSRS.
Overall, 71% say political violence in response to election results is at least somewhat likely, including 34% who believe it is very likely. The expectation that elections will lead to violence also cuts across party lines (78% of Democrats, 70% of independents and 65% of Republicans describe it as likely).
There is far less partisan agreement over whether American democracy took a blow due to the January 6 attack on the US Capitol. Overall, 62% are…
In total agreement … the fillisuter MUST change!! … “The biggest story in the US Senate is that of the ‘tradition’ known as the filibuster…..well that was until the murder trial sucked all the air out of actual reporting.”
The biggest story in the US Senate is that of the ‘tradition’ known as the filibuster…..well that was until the murder trial sucked all the air out of actual reporting.
As it stands any bill debate to be passed will take 60 Senators for it to pass….I recently took a closer look at the drama around trying to end this archaic ‘tradition’……https://lobotero.com/2021/03/17/kill-the-filibuster/
The attempt to end this waste of valuable time…..
The myth is that it is needed to protect the minority….but that is BS pure and simple…..
Central to the argument for preserving the filibuster are two assertions. One is that it is needed to protect minority rights. Two, the filibuster encourages compromise. The reality is, neither of these claims are true and in fact its repeal may promote both goals better than retaining it.
The filibuster rule is a product of slavery politics, as was true of the…
Full explanation follows … Matt Gaetz is disgusting@ Has always been a whitem entitled brat from FloriDUH’s panhandle, protected by his father (another corrupt politician) and the ‘former guy’ … “Matt Gaetz is a sleaze. We know this. While he was in the Florida legislature, Matt Gaetz was just one of two members of the state house to vote against a porn-revenge bill. The bill aimed at preventing people from sharing sexually explicit photos of their ex-partners online. According to Tom Goodson, a retired Florida legislator, Gaetz believes any sexually explicit photo a lover may give him is his to do with as he pleases. Goodson said from a conversation he had with Gaetz, “He thought that any picture was his to use as he wanted to, as an expression of his rights.”
We have more developments in the Matt Gaetz sex-trafficking story. Are you really surprised?
As you know, Matt “Giggity” Gaetz isn’t just a Republican moron occupying a seat in Congress. He’s not just your typical douchey frat-boy sleazebag. He’s a huge Trump sycophant. The only time the word “dignity” and Matt Gaetz have been in a sentence together is this one.
Matt Gaetz defended Trump during the Mueller investigation. He defended Trump during both of his impeachments. He wore a gas masks on the floor of the House after Trump mocked the coronavirus. He flew to Wyoming to campaign against fellow Republican Liz Cheney after she voted to impeach Trump. He even nominated Donald Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize.
If you ever want to not win a Nobel Peace Prize, make sure your nomination is from Matt Gaetz.
Gaetz also kissed Trump’s ass when it came to pardons. He…
