Jack Smith makes moves in federal Trump investigations

Jack Smith makes moves in federal Trump investigations

Special counsel Jack Smith has been moving aggressively since being named to take over inquiries into former President Donald Trump nearly three months ago.

So, Jack Smith subpoenaed Pence last week, and now has in his possession a laptop and a thumb drive with classified materials, that belonged to a Trump aide. Hunter must be giggling right now.

It would be a delicious irony if Pence ended up hanging Trump. - Ron Asher tweet

I’m gobsmacked after reading the WAPO piece on Trump/Kushner’s corruption w/MBS & KSA while in office. I’m no stranger to their grift but it still stings. It’s like reading about bank heist & murder and knowing the culprits not only got away with it but are planning round two. - Noel Casler tweet

That Ohio Train Wreck Fire Is Still Spewing Airborne Chemicals After Ohio Blew It Up. So...

A West Virginia water utility is enhancing its water treatment process as a precaution following the derailment of a train hauling chemicals that later sent up a toxic plume in Ohio.

So has anybody in Washington, Republican or Democrat, suggested maybe they need to look at rail regulations again? Or are we just going to pretend airborne toxic events are unavoidable? - Schooley tweet

Underwear Tax 35% Higher For Women

The average US tariff rate on women’s undergarments is 15.5%, compared to just 11.5% for men’s. That means women are being charged a tax that’s 35% higher than what their male counterparts pay, according to Ed Gresser, a former US trade official and current director for Trade and Global Markets at the Progressive Policy Institute.

“Worst Valentine’s Day surprise ever,” wrote Gresser in his report, as he estimated that the current US tariff system adds about $1.10 to each pair of women’s underwear and about $0.75 to men’s.

Good morning and Happy Monday to everyone who knows about Black inventions like folding chairs, gas masks, traffic signals, potato chips and much more because they don't have a jackass governor like Ron DeSantis banning that history in schools.

Happy Black History Month. - Brooklyn Dad Defiant tweet

McConnell Confirms Biden's Claim Some in the GOP Eyeing Cuts to Social Security and Medicare: 'That Was the Rick Scott Plan’

McConnell Confirms Biden's Claim Some in the GOP Eyeing Cuts to Social Security and Medicare: 'That Was the Rick Scott Plan’

Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) took aim at Florida Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) during an interview and confirmed that President Joe Biden’s declaration that some GOP leaders want to end Social Security and Medicare was, in fact, accurate – despite loud booing and yells of “liar” from GOP members.

I never would have known that Rick Scott, Ron Johnson, Mike Lee, and Ron DeSantis all called for the end of Social Security and Medicare if the Dumdum Caucus hadn't brought it to my attention by making a spectacle of themselves during the SOTU.

Thanks, dumdums! - au tweet

Biden Visits The Armpit of the USA

President Joe Biden will travel to Florida on Thursday, taking his post-State of the Union roadshow directly to the epicenter of the Republican Party.

Florida is not only home to the two top contenders for the Republican nomination to challenge Biden in 2024, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former President Donald Trump, but also Republican Sen. Rick Scott, who the president has tried to cast as the leading opponent to Medicare and Social Security.

James Carville: “I have a degree in white trashology. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s definitely white trash. The level of white trash in the GOP is astounding. I’ve never seen it manifest itself like now. Kevin McCarthy isn't white trash. He’s white Jello.”
