A Republican state lawmaker in Minnesota who recently introduced a bill to create a mental illness category for liberals obsessed over Donald Trump was arrested on Tuesday for allegedly soliciting a minor for prostitution. Minnesota senator Justin Eichorn was arrested and booked on Tuesday. He believed he was talking to a 17-year-old female, but was communicating instead with detectives from the Bloomington, Minnesota, police department, police allege. Eichorn, a 40-year-old whose biography on the Minnesota Senate website says he is married with four kids, faces felony charges for soliciting a minor to practice prostitution.

From today’s Russian papers: “The number of Russian regions with restrictions on the sale of fuel is multiplying.” The reason given? “Unscheduled repairs at oil refineries.”
#MurdochJournal attacks peer review as, uh, woke "group think." If the academy is so left-wing, it's amazing how easy it for the Journal, Times, and Post to find right-wing profs to write op-eds.

Francesca Albanese's family recently won a case against punitive US sanctions, but a US appeal has put the sanctions back in place.
Albanese says the sanctioning “equates to a civil death. She is unable to access her bank accounts & savings or continue her work as a lecturer."

Faustian Bargain.
Its an agreement where someone sacrifices their personal values, morals, or spiritual integrity to gain wealth, power, or some other worldly benefit. It is inherently self-defeating, as the long-term cost ultimately outweighs the short-term gain.
Example >Senator John Cornyn of Texas. A distinguished lawyer , Attorney General and old guard republican thought the whirling chaotic wind of DJT wouldn't get him if he supported Trump 98% of the time. Nope.

If we didn't have the greatest wealth disparity since just before the Great Depression, we'd actually be able to work on many of our greatest problems.
So I ask again. Billionaires: Would you rather be taxed or eaten?

It's a race to watch because I can't imagine a more stark difference in decency vs unethical slimebag
It's going to get really dirty
A lot of money involved and #MAGA is the direct topic

Really, every single non-MAGA American should be so pissed about this

Not even hiding or nothing, acting like it's a good thing

US Senator Andy Kim pepper-sprayed by #ICE, as he attempted to deescalate ICE confrontation of protestors. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) claimed officers used minimum force against “rioters” and denied a hunger strike, with DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin calling the protest a “political stunt”. Well is it a 'riot', a 'stunt' or a legal protest protected by the Constitution? https://www.independent.co.uk/bulletin/news/andy-kim-pepper-spray-ice-delaney-hall-b2983561.html

Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
