No, they can't. The laws are strict.

 

Yeah, but they won't agree with that and keep posting bullshit that doesn't prove their point but keeps the thing going.
You'd think, once they were proven wrong, they would acknowledge that and move on, rather than keep doubling down.

*Epiphany

They really do think they're right, even in the face of overwhelming evidence and facts, and simply are too delusional to even contemplate such a radical idea that they might be wrong!

Holy Shit!
So much is clear now!

 

Hawley Challenges Schumer, Pelosi to Disavow Antifa-Led Jan. 6 Vigil Featuring House Dems

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) is calling on Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to repudiate a Jan. 6 vigil organized by an Antifa outfit and featuring prominent House Democrats as speakers.

“I call on you to condemn the leaders of the ‘Candle Light Vigil for Democracy’ planned for today and to ask members in your caucuses to cancel their planned support for this event,” Hawley told Schumer and Pelosi in a Jan. 6 letter.

“The organizers behind this event have a history of engaging in extremist tactics to interfere with workings of democracy. During a week where you have vociferously condemned those who tried to obstruct congressional proceedings last January 6th, you must also be similarly willing to call out leftist activists who have also engaged in criminal acts to interfere with democracy.”

Former Obama adviser pleads guilty to stealing $218K from schools
The charge carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison


A former Obama administration adviser pleaded guilty to wire fraud and stealing $218,000 from charter schools, announced the Southern District of New York (SDNY) on Friday.

"Seth Andrew, a former White House advisor, admitted today to devising a scheme to steal from the very same schools he helped create. Andrew now faces time in federal prison for abusing his position and robbing those he promised to help," said U.S. Attorney Damian Williams on Friday.

According to the Department of Justice, in 2005, Andrew created "School Network-1," a series of New York-based charter schools. In 2013, Andrew left his position at the school and took a role in the Department of Education. He later became a senior adviser in the White House's Office of Educational Technology.

In 2019, Andrew closed three escrow accounts that, pursuant to the charter agreement, were only to be shut down in the case that the schools dissolved, and "funds could not be moved by Andrew, or anyone, without proper authorization," according to SDNY.

He then deposited the money from two of the closed escrow accounts into a new business bank account. According to DOJ, in order to open the new business account, he misrepresented to a bank employee that he was a "'Key Executive with Control of' School Network-1 Charter School and supported that misrepresentation with emails."

In addition, he deposited the third escrow account funds into an account that he opened at another bank.

All the deposits of the stolen money were eventually transferred into an account under Andrew’s complete control, amounting to more than $200,000.

"I am truly sorry for what I have done," said Andrew on Friday before Judge John P. Cronan. "What I did was wrong and I deeply regret my actions. And, as I stand before you today, I have tremendous remorse for the impact it has had on the schools, the alumni and my own family."


Andrew has agreed to pay $218,000 in restitution to the Charter School Network.

He is scheduled to be sentenced before Judge Cronan on April 14, 2022. The charge carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.

 

Dem Megadonor: I Don’t Care About the Uyghurs
'Of all the things that I care about, yes, it is below my line,' says Biden-tied Chamath Palihapitiya

Billionaire liberal megadonor Chamath Palihapitiya said he does not care about China's genocide of its Uyghur ethnic minority and argued that the "narrative" around the issue "may not be true."

Palihapitiya's remarks came during a Saturday episode of his podcast All-In. The liberal billionaire, who has contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to groups aligned with President Joe Biden and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.), used the podcast to echo Chinese Communist Party propaganda. He said that China may not be committing genocide, that he's "not sure" if the nation is a "brutal dictatorship," and that the United States is not in a position to lecture China on human rights issues.

"Nobody cares about what's happening to the Uyghurs. You bring it up because you really care, and I think that's nice that you care, the rest of us don't care," Palihapitiya said. "I'm telling you a very hard, ugly truth, okay? Of all the things that I care about, yes, it is below my line."

Palihapitiya, who is a part-owner of the National Basketball Association's Golden State Warriors, has deep ties to the Biden administration. Both Secretary of State Antony Blinken and U.S. Agency for International Development administrator Samantha Power served as advisers to Palihapitiya's venture capital firm, Social Capital, before they joined the Biden administration. Palihapitiya in 2020 gave $250,000 to the Biden Victory Fund.

A White House spokeswoman told the Washington Free Beacon the Biden administration rejects Palihapitiya's statement. "The Biden Administration rejects this statement and will continue to hold the PRC accountable," the spokeswoman said, pointing to Biden's support for the bipartisan Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act and other measures to "ensure all global supply chains are free from the use of forced labor."

The Warriors also worked to distance themselves from Palihapitiya, referring to him as a "limited investor who has no day-to-day operating functions with the Warriors."


Chamath Palihapitiya is a Sri Lankan-born Canadian and American venture capitalist, engineer, SPAC sponsor, and the founder and CEO of Social Capital. Palihapitiya was an early senior executive at Facebook, working at the company from 2007 to 2011

 

LOL, the socialist'/ communist Bernie Sanders turns on his own.... Not surprising though. Bernie is worried his life's work of lies and fraud will be exposed...

He wouldn't know about "the hard workers of America" that he fakes support for. He's never worked a private sector job in his miserable government-funded life..... He's a government-funded sell-out shilling for more big, fat over-reaching government.

Bernie has sold out on his own supporters twice. And for that, he has two new million dollar homes to show for it.....

That's what a good communist does. Lives large while purporting to be working for the serfs.

Bernie Sanders Says He Would Support Primary Challengers to Manchin, Sinema
Jan 18, 2022 7:00 PM





Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders (I) said Tuesday that he believes there is a "good chance" Democratic Sens. Joe Manchin (W.V.) and Kyrsten Sinema (AZ) will face primary challengers in 2024 and that he would support potential opponents of the two moderate senators.


Sanders, who has repeatedly ripped his two moderate colleagues over their opposition to ending the filibuster, told reporters ahead of a caucus meeting that American democracy is at stake if the Senate filibuster rules are not changed and that GOP lawmakers across the country are "moving aggressively to suppress the vote and to impose extreme gerrymandering, among many other things."

"Anybody who believes in American democracy has got to vote to enable us to go forward with 50 votes to suspend the filibuster, at least on this vote," he said.

Democrats are looking for a filibuster carveout to pass two Democratic-backed voting bills with a simple majority instead of the 60 votes needed to avoid a filibuster. Manchin and Sinema have both said they support the bills but will not back a change to Senate rules to pass the legislation.

Sanders said that there is a "good chance" opponents of changing the filibuster could face primary challenges but noted that their fate ultimately lies in the hands of their constituents.

"There's a very good chance that people in those states— it's up to the people in those states but it's not just even the voting rights," he said.

And when asked whether he would support primary challengers to lawmakers wishing to keep current Senate rules in place, he said, "Yeah, I would."

Other progressives, however, have not been as straightforward when it comes to efforts to unseat Manchin and Sinema, with Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) telling "CBS Mornings" on Monday that "We will address that when we get past next week" when asked if her party's two moderate senators should face primary opponents.


Manchin said at a press conference Tuesday outside of his office that he welcomes primary challengers, saying, "Bring it on."

The West Virginia senator, representing a deeply conservative state, won the Democratic primary in 2018 against progressive Paula Jean Swearengin with nearly 70 percent of the vote.

Sinema, meanwhile, is representing a once reliably Republican state that has shifted left in recent years, with Sinema's 2018 Senate race victory and President Joe Biden picking up the state's electoral votes in the 2020 election, the first time a Democratic presidential candidate has done so since 1996.
