Candence Owens is either dumb AF or smart enough to know she can make money being the token black girl in a room full of old white guys.
Yet she begs for donations to herself. Yeah, a greedy, unremorseful, unapologetic, white trash b****.
Opposite day is fun for little kids and attention whores. The latter will slash your tires and try burning down your house if you don't keep a watchful eye.
You might fool the stupid with that crap Ted, but you know it is just Biden blaming propaganda put out by the GOP. I'll tell you why. Corporate greed Ted. How much money do they line your pockets with? Should the President make changes to control oil prices from these oil companies robbing Americans in the name of greed? The industry could drill on their 9,000 leases with approved permits, but drilling costs money the industry doesn’t want to spend. In 2021 alone, Exxon Mobil, Shell, BP, and Chevron made a combined $75 billion in profits. Instead of spending some of this massive profit on drilling the leases they already hold, oil companies are buying back their own shares, funneling dividends to their shareholders, and paying lobbyists to demand cheap new federal leases so they can stockpile them for future profit. Just like Amazon and the shipping industries profited off the pandemic and made billions, the Oil Barons are raising prices because they can, all in the name of pure greed.
Candace Owens wasn't even a thing in 1989. EDIT: But, I guess this disinformation is filtering out into society. My wife was telling me about one of her workers saying Ukraine isn't a real country and she was wondering where this messaging was coming from. I guess conservatives are setting the groundwork for Trump to stab Ukraine in the back when he wins in 2024.
We knew the day would come when politicians and the entire party would be completely bought by overseas money. Still feels like **** though.
Unfortunately, owens speaks for a significant percentage of republicans and is provided a highly visible platform to provide her commentary.
Is Fortenberry’s team fibbing about why he’s missing votes? Nebraskan blames COVID-19 for absence from House Rep. Jeff Fortenberry, R-Neb., might not be telling congressional administrators the whole truth about why someone else is casting his votes in the U.S. House. Fortenberry is in Los Angeles this week for his trial in U.S. District Court on felony criminal charges of lying to or misleading federal investigators about foreign funds raised for his campaign, which is illegal. In a letter Tuesday to the Clerk of the House, Fortenberry wrote that he would be “unable to physically attend proceedings in the House Chamber due to the ongoing public health emergency.” The congressman is not sick with COVID-19, nor is he claiming to be, Fortenberry’s chief of staff, Andy Braner, said in an email responding to a reporter’s questions. COVID-19 is the only reason House rules let members pick someone to vote on their behalf by proxy. Fortenberry, in his letter, handed responsibility for his vote to Rep. John Moolenaar of Michigan. Braner wrote that many members submit similar letters “to navigate COVID effects on a variety of scheduling conflicts. This isn’t something abnormal.” Fortenberry’s chief of staff, Braner, wrote, “As Mr. Fortenberry’s trial was delayed due to the COVID shut down of the California courts, the speaker’s office allowed for Mr. Fortenberry to vote proxy during this time.” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office disagreed when the Nebraska Examiner asked Thursday whether the statement was true. “No,” said Drew Hammill, a spokesman for Pelosi. “The statement implies that there was a special dispensation given (by the Speaker), and that is not accurate.” Pelosi’s office did not evaluate Fortenberry’s letter, nor does it approve or deny any members’ reasons for asking a colleague to vote on their behalf, Hammill said. Such letters are handled by the Clerk of the House. The Clerk’s Office on Thursday said it receives the letters and seeks no additional explanation from members for why they need a proxy voter. Hammill, the Speaker’s spokesman, said hundreds of members in Congress have cast votes by proxy since the system started in 2020. Members must communicate directly with the colleague voting on their behalf, rather than communicating through staff. The House’s top Republican, Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy of California, has criticized proxy voting, citing the system’s “glaring flaws and potential for abuse.” Fortenberry’s office says the congressman continues to represent Nebraska’s 1st Congressional District, which includes Lincoln, Bellevue and much of eastern Nebraska outside of Omaha. His trial continues Friday in Los Angeles. Fortenberry faces a GOP challenge in the May 10 primary election from former Speaker of the Legislature Mike Flood. Flood’s campaign declined to comment. https://nebraskaexaminer.com/2022/03/17/is-fortenberrys-team-fibbing-about-why-hes-missing-votes/
Shockingly, not liking one thing someone says about a specific person that has no policy effect doesn't make someone in the Republican leadership think a Democrat would be better in that seat (someone they are probably going to disagree with on many more things that are going to make substantive policy differences). And by shockingly, I mean obviously. I didn't like that Gary Johnson didn't know what Aleppo was on the spot in an interview, but it didn't make me want to vote for Trump or Clinton.
