"After another interruption by Graham, who accused her of not considering child sexual crimes to be serious, Jackson responded with force.
“Senator, all I’m trying to explain is that our sentencing system ― the system that Congress has created, the system that the sentencing commission is the steward of ― is a rational one. It is a system that is designed to help judges do justice in these terrible circumstances by eliminating unwarranted disparities, by ensuring that the most serious defendants get the longest periods of time.”
“What we’re trying to do is be rational in our dealing with some of the most horrible kinds of behavior. This is what our justice system is about. It’s about judges making determinations in meting out penalties to people who have done terrible things,” she said."
Lindsey really put his racism, his misogyny and his trumpism on display. He made an ass of himself and if he was hoping to besmirch her he got the rebound blast on himself.
"Virginia Thomas, a conservative activist married to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, repeatedly pressed White House chief of staff Mark Meadows to pursue unrelenting efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election in urgent text exchanges in the critical weeks following the vote, according to copies of the messages obtained by CBS News chief election and campaign correspondent Robert Costa and Bob Woodward of The Washington Post.
Those messages — part of 29 total messages obtained — reveal an extraordinary pipeline between Virginia Thomas, who goes by Ginni, and then-President Donald Trump's top aide during a period when Trump and his allies were vowing to go to the Supreme Court in an effort to subvert the election results."
Republicans are utterly and absolutely gross and abhorrent. It almost seems like a mental illness. They want absolute control of every American and it looks like they will do anything to get that control. No wonder trump fan-boyed Putin. They are very much alike.
I'm glad he's been showing his true colours so flamboyantly. I hope the people in his state are so embarrassed by him that they finally vote him out. If not, he may be who they deserve, but he's not who we deserve.

Debra Meadows, the wife of former Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows, signed two voter registration forms in 2020 that used an invalid address in Scaly Mountain, North Carolina, where the New Yorker reported that neither she nor her husband have ever resided. The forms with the North Carolina address were provided by North Carolina's State Board of Elections.
The two forms, a voter registration application form and a "one stop" early voting application form completed in September 2020, list the same North Carolina address that is being investigated by North Carolina's State Bureau of Investigations. North Carolina's State Board of Elections is also assisting with the investigation.
Both were signed by Debra Meadows, and the forms display notices warning that "fraudulently or falsely completing this form is a class 1 felony."
Both show a registration date of September 19, 2020, one day before the Meadows listed a move-in date into the Macon County address in question, which is, according to the New Yorker, a "fourteen-by-sixty-two-foot mobile home" with a rusting roof. North Carolina law requires voters to have resided at their listed address at least 30 days prior to an election. The forms were first reported by the Washington Post.
Another form, an absentee ballot request for Mark Meadows to cast a North Carolina vote from an Alexandria, Virginia, address, also uses the same North Carolina address. This request was filled out by Debra Meadows but signed by Mark Meadows, according to the state board of elections.
Debra Meadows returned her husband's absentee ballot and voted early in person on October 26, 2020 in North Carolina, even though the only home the Meadows owned or resided in at the time appeared to be in Virginia.
The investigation into potential voter fraud began after the New Yorker first reported that Meadows had registered to vote in 2020 with the address of the mobile home, which he reportedly neither lived in nor owned. Mark Meadows sold a North Carolina residence in March 2020 and had no residence in the state, according to the Washington Post."
These are the "fine upstanding citizens" constantly accusing Democrats of fraud. Republicans are just filthy.
Every thing they have done since the "Clear Skies Initiative" (which allowed pollution to cloud the skies), has been projection. Whatever they accuse others of is exactly what they are doing. Putin is the same.
I'd say that it's more like two thirds of one third of the adult population--but they are inordinately assertive, and the old observation that the news media concentrate on what is different rather than what is typical holds true.
It kind of blew me away to realise that the ORIGINAL of the design out front (from the Vietnam era) features...a sunflower!

Sure, let's take that to court and see how it shakes down.
