This is just WRONG! Snakes are clean purposeful creatures. Clean. Honest in there intent. Only striking out in defence, They are not slimy, grotest, untruthful, sacks of crape. They are not RepublicansBe nice to snakes.
The Republican Party has been building up to this for at least 40 years. Trickle down doesn’t work except to put more money in the hands of the wealthy, tax cuts don’t pay for themselves and the U.S. is not a Christian country. The last point is particularly galling since real Christians would follow the teachings of Jesus, not Saul/Paul.
Republicans willingly crawled into the snake’s open mouth and were joyous about the constricting movements as they were taken in deeper and deeper into its foul bowels already stuffed with Kentucky fried yuck.
And I hope that rebirth — to a party which is conservative, yet nimble enough to keep pace with 21st century events — something they definitely were not pre-Trump (and is it even necessary for me to have to say no longer the tRump GQP?!!) — is possible.
The GOP is dead. It’s now the party of Trump. The crazies are running the asylum. We can only hope that they split from the establishment. If they do, the conservatives will never win another election.
Don’t forget to mark your calendars for March 4th. Trump’s followers are going back to the Capitol Building per Trump. He jacked up the prices at his hotel in Washington, D.C. last week to make more money. Hope they take lots of selfies again. Name tags to be provided. . . . . . /S
“Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance has stepped up his investigation into former President Donald Trump with the addition of a former federal prosecutor who’s highly regarded for his expertise in untangling complex financial dealings and white-collar crimes, the New York Times reported Thursday.
A former assistant U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York where he spent three years as the head of the Criminal Division, Mark Pomerantz has formally agreed to assist Vance’s team in its investigation of Trump and his privately owned businesses for possible tax and bank fraud, people said to be familiar with the investigation told the Times.
The probe, which began as an inquiry into the hush money payments Trump’s former attorney and fixer Michael Cohen paid to adult film star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election, has broadened “significantly” in recent months. Prosecutors claimed in court documents to have evidence of “possibly extensive and protracted criminal conduct at the Trump Organization.”
According to the report, “the investigation by Mr. Vance, a Democrat, is focused on possible tax and bank-related fraud, including whether the Trump Organization misled its lenders or local tax authorities about the value of his properties to obtain loans and tax benefits, the people with knowledge of the matter said, requesting anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the investigation.”
The office of the district attorney has also interviewed Deutsche Bank employees, employees with insurance broker Aon, and employees with Ladder Capital, one of Trump’s top lenders. Deutsche Bank, for its part, is done with Trump.
Pomerantz, who sits on the advisory board for the Quattrone Center for the Fair Administration of Justice, will now bring decades of public and private sector white-collar legal expertise to the table. He recently took leave from his “of counsel” position in the litigation department of the Paul Weiss law firm to join Vance’s squad."
“Mark has represented some of the largest companies in the United States in investigations undertaken by the U.S. Department of Justice and various state and local prosecutors. He has tried cases on behalf of commercial clients and individuals before juries and arbitration panels, and also has substantial appellate experience, arguing dozens of appeals before appellate courts throughout the country,” his Quattrone Center bio states. “Additionally, Mark has a great deal of experience in matters involving the financial services industry, and has handled major matters and internal investigations involving all aspects of alleged corporate misconduct, including securities and bank fraud, mail and wire fraud, RICO and FCPA violations, tax offenses and bribery. In recent years, he has represented clients in matters involving equity research analysts, structured finance, the allocation of initial public offering shares, reform of the mutual fund industry and other leading issues relating to securities law enforcement by federal and state authorities.”
Per the Times, Pomerantz was also involved in a 1988 organized crime case that helped determine the legal definition of “racketeering.”
Never let America forget – the Republican Party knew what they were inflicting on us when they nominated Trump for president in 2016. And they knew this even more when they again nominated him for president in 2020. This is what the Republican Party knowingly chose to do to us and our country.

When you accept snakes into your home, don’t be surprised if they try and take over. Some of the larger ones may even consider you part of their menu.
