Warning: Your Christmas ham is likely contaminated.

Inspectors warn unsafe pork could make its way to consumers under Trump rule change


He changed this rule a week ago. He's reducing the number of inspectors and how long food has to be inspected at 90% of all pork processing plants.

In light of how food recalls are getting more common, our entire food supply is becoming dangerous to eat. How can we fight this?

Anyone have advice on how to get better quality food?

Gabbard faces heat back home for present vote on impeachment

https://www.hawaiitribune-herald.com/2019/12/20/hawaii-news/gabbard-faces-heat-back-home-for-present-vote-on-impeachment/

According to the website govtrack.us, Gabbard missed 88.7% of the 141 House votes taken in the past three months.


Wow. Gabbard missed almost 90% of House votes over the past few months. That's insane. She's completely ignoring her job.

Every newspaper in the world has Trump impeachment on front page.

Pretty amazing to see. I looked at the UK, Ireland, Italy, Spain, Germany, France, China, Switzerland, Australia.

I'm still astounded not a single Republican grew a spine.

There are a lot of no votes, so some Republicans want to vote yes, but refuse to actually be on the record.

I just can't believe an entire party is betraying Democracy and the Constitution for a monster like Trump. It's truly depressing.

Feedback from my Impeachment Rally tonight

So I went to one of my local impeachment rallies. There were maybe 30-40 people there. Smaller than I was hoping for, but it's a smaller city on the water and it was cold and rainy.

People had signs and were chanting at the cars that came by. Bunch of cars honked in solidarity. One truck with some college kids screamed "Go Donald Trump" out the window, and 1 woman cussed us out, but other than that most people seemed supportive.

Sadly, the group broke up in about an hour and I heard who I assume is the organizer tell someone else most people just don't give a crap. Trump has given a voice to bigots and other horrible people and lots of people like that.

So overall I was rather discouraged. It didn't give me much hope for the future of this country.

10-12 Moderate Dems want Censure over Impeachment

https://twitter.com/kyledcheney/status/1204446747935805442?s=20

Censure is pathetic. It's a slap on the wrist that tells Dictator Donny, "You were a bad boy. Don't do it again or you get timeout!" This will also give Republicans strong talking points that even Dems weren't united against Trump.

When even some Democrats refuse to uphold the Constitution, this country is absolutely doomed. I have no optimism or hope for this country. We are heading into dictatorship territory. If I had the means, I'd be moving out of this country immediately.

Every single person associated with the Republican party is complicit in the largest criminal conspiracy in history.

Denny Heck is retiring?!

Chris Hayes just mentioned it. Rep. Heck is so fed up with Republicans he's quitting. Wow that's horrible.

Trump plans to cut funding to NATO

https://www.cnn.com/2019/11/27/politics/trump-nato-contribution-nato/index.html

Another win for Putin. The US really is controlled by Russia now. I don't think we can survive until 2020 elections at this rate.
