Spending less time on world news since US voters re-elected a rapist/convicted felon, who tried to end democracy, but who Americans decided to give a mulligan, cuz democracy shlemocracy right? Occasionally I’ll come across something that I feel compelled to share, but… …these days… I've stopped my dreaming …these days I sit on corner stones & count the time in quarter tones to ten

The Republican holdouts, Sens John Cornyn (TX) & Thom Tillis of (NC), had vowed that they would not confirm #ToddBlanche for the role unless he provided written assurances that the #DOJ had formally killed a planned $1.8B #SlushFund to pay #Trump allies who claim they were unfairly persecuted by the government.
The senators also insisted that Blanche narrow the scope of the sweeping #immunity from #IRS scrutiny granted to Trump, his family & their businesses under the same agreement.
