This “Russian Olympic Committee” deal is complete BS. The Russians are supposed to be banned for 4 years, starting in 2019, for blatant, systematic cheating. And then Putin lied about it. This is what happens when you make deals with criminals.
Don Cornelius—who died in 2012—is credibly accused of brutalizing 2 women who worked for Playboy, tying them up & raping them, locking them in closet. For 3 days.
Story from their “bunny mother,” who was part of the “clean up crew.”
🔥 This story did not get enough attention. Basically, Pence was afraid of being kidnapped by the Secret Service (presumably directed by Trump) so that the certification could not be completed. That’s nuts!!
⚾️ When people complained about long baseball games, the Major League Baseball responded with new rules such as limiting visits to the mound, timing pitching changes, etc.
What in God’s name have we done to speed up the judicial system and the people who use it to delay reality?
Steve Bannon? He’s entitled to “due process,” but let’s face it, he did it.
He was issued a subpoena and he violated it.
There is no reason this should go on for a year.
People caught on videotape committing a crime? Seems like those cases could be expedited.
📰 Julie K. Brown’s series on the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes was entered in 2 categories for the Pulitzer Prize: investigative reporting and local reporting.
It didn’t even make the finals in either category despite arguably being the reason for Epstein’s arrest.j
After Epstein served his time in a private wing of the Palm Beach County Stockade, most of the press coverage consisted of tabloid-type pictures of him and girls who looked underage.
It was alleged in Virginia Giuffre’s lawsuit that Epstein instructed her to have sex with Dershowitz.
Dershowitz strongly denied the allegations. He also attacked Brown & @MiamiHerald although Brown said in her book, “In hindsight, I wish I had included more about Dershowitz.”
📮 Strange how there has been no investigation into Louis DeJoy’s role in losing, “misplacing” and delaying ballots in the 2020 election.
Plus, no reporter seems to care.
And he is likely doing it again in the 2021 recall election.
Lots of other offices are decided in 2021.
#VoteNoOnTheRecall and drive your ballot to a collection box if you can avoid the Post Office, please do.
The @USPS Board of Governors can fire DeJoy, but Ron Bloom, a Democrat, is standing in the way.
However, Republican John McLeod Barger’s term expires December 8, 2021—which when his replacement is appointed—should give the Democrats the power to fire him

🔴 According to the @tampabaytimes, St. Petersburg is at the epicenter of the state’s recent red tides.
This was also a problem when Rick Scott was Governor of #Florida.
