I don’t know about enlarging the Court, but put bluntly it has been captured by big #Republican donor interests, and if the Court won’t clean up its own act, something will have to be done. politico.com/story/2019/03/…
Its 73-0 record of 5-4 partisan decisions for big Republican donor interests is too much to ignore. law.com/nationallawjou…
Step one would be to undo #CitizensUnited and #ShelbyCounty as wrongly decided, given false factual findings on which those decisions stood.
#CitizensUnited HAS caused corruption, and Shelby County DID open racist voter suppression.

Even if the #RobertsFive believed what they said back then, it has been disproven by events.

I’m sorry, but this is weird.

First, if you’re confident in your decision, you don’t need to defend it. You just make it and move on. nytimes.com/2019/04/04/us/…
Second, there’s a strange mismatch between the pace of the super-fast “no obstruction” decision, versus not-so-fast #Mueller report vetting.

Obviously, Barr wanted to get the no obstruction finding out in his summary letter.
Reviewing thousands of pages of evidence to make a complex, fact-intensive legal conclusion on obstruction ought to be as time intensive as vetting a 400 page report for material that shouldn’t be released.

The fast-train/slow-train contrast is odd.

The things that police officers and firefighters see at accidents and crime scenes can be horrifying, and they often face terrible danger.

That's why I'm proud to join Senator @HawleyMO in introducing the Supporting and Treating Officers In Crisis Act of 2019.
The Supporting and Treating Officers In Crisis Act will:

1⃣ Restore grant funding for family-support services for police officers and
2⃣ Allow grant recipients to use funds to create suicide-prevention programs and mental health services for law enforcement officers.
These services will help them process and deal with the things they must bear to keep us safe.

Have a look at how Big Tech (Google, Apple, Microsoft, Facebook, Amazon, Uber and many others) lobbies Congress.
1⃣They loved the #Republican “tax reform” scam. See 2017 “victories.” Oy.⬇️
2⃣Their #climate priority is “advanced energy solutions.” I’m working on this, passing #carboncapture and nuclear innovation bills, but nobody thinks that’s close to enough. Go big, this ain’t.

Entertainment = To enter & take grasp of the mind

Occult Communication within Hollywood Movies...

Once you see it, you cannot unsee it...

It's how they desensitize the uninitiated on various subjects & communicate secretly, yet out in the open, with the initiated.
Superman

Red & blue are the colors of Quetzalcoatl the “Feathered Serpent”; Visible Light spans Blue to Red. Superman has 8 letters in his name; he’s the King of Kings of superheroes.
Kal-El/Clark Kent/Superman was sent to earth by his father Jor-El; El is Saturn. Like Jesus Christ, Superman’s earth-parent’s names begin with J & M. Johnathan Kent is Joseph & Martha Kent is Mary. El is Saturn, the Canaanite god.

My notes “Let my people go Surfing” by Yvon Chouinard (founder of Patagonia), ~25 things
1) Yvon Chouinard is the founder of outdoor clothing and equipment brand Patagonia. The book discusses Patagonia’s unique history and philosophy
2) Chouinard got into business more by accident than design, he was an avid climber and wanted better climbing hardware. He taught himself blacksmithing and tested all the equipment himself, eventually selling it to fund his climbing hobby

15)You know that joke you’re sick of telling? Write/type it w/ space in between each sentence. Add some details, change a word or unpack an idea. To me, unless it’s on a Special a joke isn’t done. When the audience is mouthing the words with you it’s done. #GulManTip #WriteNow
16)Be the comedian you wanted to see. Think about the things that you wished someone made jokes about when you sat in the audience. Make a list of topics and ideas that you’d be EXCITED to see someone discuss. Become that comedian. You’ve got 30 years. #GulManTip #WriteNow
17)You’ve been killing every night. You’re not sure this is still a challenge. For the next few months ask to go on first. It’s a great test of your act. The booker and host will love you for it. #GulManTip #WriteNow

30/ This one is really upsetting. Anti-gay activist Earl Kimmerling fostered 50 kids. One was to be adopted by a gay man, so he & wife adopted her to stop gay adoption then he raped her. 40 years in prison.

31/ This is now contested, though he confessed. Republican Party leader and Sheriff's Deputy convicted of molesting his children. I just have a hard time believing a deputy made a false confession.

“Isn’t that discriminatory?” Yoongi wondered, scrolling through job listings. He’d been reading aloud some of the more interesting ones to Namjoon across the diner table from him.
“Not necessarily,” Namjoon said, tapping away at his laptop. “But it doesn’t sound like the kind of job you’d want though. If they have a subgender preference then they’re probably really picky about everything.”
