How long can you tread water?

Sometimes you really wish there was video.  The Veneto (Italy) regional council, dominated by right-wing parties, voted against a number of climate change proposals, and within minutes the council chamber began to flood.  The flood-control system is eight years late and way over budget, and there's talk of corruption.  Also fear of structural damage to St. Mark's Basilica, so if you haven't seen it yet...

Meanwhile, the Ohio House of Representatives, dominated by a right-wing party, passed the "Student Religious Liberties Act," because we need dumber Americans.  If it becomes law, students can't be penalized for getting their science (or presumably history and math) exams wrong as long as the answers they give are based on religious dogma.  This should make it easier for high school graduates from the other forty-nine states (even Tennessee!) to get into real colleges.

Do you believe in synchronicity?  Sen. Richard Blumenthal was actually speaking about gun control legislation in the Senate yesterday when he was handed a note advising of the school shooting in Santa Clarita, California.  Of course, it was too soon to politicize the event -- one of the victims hadn't even died yet.

Wait until the other convicts get a look at Roger Stone's Nixon tattoo!  I kid, of course.  Trump's been too busy tweeting witness intimidation and other abuse to sign the pardon.  Check back tomorrow.  In the meantime Alex Jones, who has been getting slapped around in court himself, promises all sorts of vengeance against the jury.  Sue them for treason, Alex!

Recep Erdogan got the full-on dictator's welcome at the White House, and today he received a lovely parting gift:  Lindsey Graham blocked a Senate resolution condemning the 1915 Armenian genocide.  (It didn't even mention the Kurds.)  Good boy, Lindsey!  Have a treat!  We'll go walkies soon, yes we will.

The Republican National Committee is holding its winter meeting at the Doral National Trump Intergalactic Splendido Trump Hotel and Spa, because at some level, they know they deserve to sleep on bedbugs.

The Trumpites have decided that The Whistleblower is Alexander Soros, son of Dr. Evil himself.  The son doesn't even work in government, but so what?  Comet Ping Pong Pizza doesn't have a basement, either.  QED, libtards.  Get over it.

Say this for the Russian puppet, he doesn't care how bad he looks.  Valery Leontiev, Putin's favorite crooner, will play the Trump Trash Palace New Year's Eve party next month.  I guess the Kremlin gets Ted Nugent.
