I stood upon the hill, that last bastion of the war weary,
I looked upon the city that cried for war.
I saw the corporate concrete capillaries,
maintaining the body belligerent,
lorded over by that which believed
That it deserved the powers of the King.
There. I said it. Trump is NOT the problem.
Jimmy Dore gives us a demonstration. How he was able to keep a straight face through all this I'll never know but he definitely deserves major props.
Late night post, not much going on, can't hurt. Right? A little rant.
More people should take advantage of this freeform non-partisan blog and rant away. In the immortal words of an evil corporation, just do it.
Good news for the environment. Bad news for Trump/GOP tax cuts:
The federal oil-lease sale promoted as the largest ever in Alaska’s Arctic Reserve sold only seven tracts, or 0.8% of the 900 tracts offered, undercutting Republican arguments that they can help pay for their proposed $1.5 trillion tax cuts for the wealthy by selling oil leases in the Alaskan wilderness.
58 Democrats voted to debate impeachment today, but no surprise, it was voted down.

Hey folks, and welcome to between the lines. So I was a bit pissed off today after finding out that the VA had been floating some things about involving sending me and mine back to the street. Somebody must have pointed out how that tends to go, and they immediately backtracked.
Meet StevenD, riverlover and Wink in Cortland, NY for our first ever C-99 Meetup!
It's going to be Fri. Jan. 5th, 5pm 'til 7pm for an early dinner at Doug's Fish Fry in Cortland. Possibly an after dinner drink at a local pub. Doug's has shrimp and clams as well as a damn fine fish sandwich or dinner for your dining pleasure. Beer, too. No real plan here except to meet & greet, and possibly plan a bigger event in Utica, NY. We hope to see you in Cortland in January!
You remember Blackwater (now called Academi), right?
Erik Prince left Blackwater in 2010, but he's been anything but quiet.
