    2022 'Profile in Courage' recipients include Ukraine President; republican Liz Cheney

     

    Liz Cheney

    The Republican congresswoman from Wyoming has suffered
    professional consequences for voting to impeach former
    President Donald Trump for inciting the Jan. 6 attack on the
    U.S. Capitol.
    She was stripped of her leadership position in the GOP caucus
    merely for condemning the false claim by Trump that
    alleges the 2020 election was stolen.

    She also is one of two Republican members of the
    Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection.

    Last year’s recipient was Republican Sen. Mitt Romney,
    who was the only Republican to vote to CONVICT Trump
    during his **first** impeachment trial in 2020.

     

    Kudos to Romney last year and the new recipients this year for their courage.

    Kudos also to Caroline Kennedy for a perfect statement.

    Oddly I don't see on any social network or partisan rightwing website anyone discussing Biden's extremely low unemployment numbers.  It's good news for America, so why not?!

    President Biden oversaw the fastest improvement in these numbers in American history!  

     

    its all joe bidens fault  an_arsed

     

    Oddly I don't see on any social network or partisan rightwing website anyone discussing Biden's extremely low unemployment numbers.  It's good news for America, so why not?!

    Biden-led international sanctions are working!

    President Vladimir Putin said Monday that the Russian economy is "withstanding the impact of sanctions" despite a very gloomy economic outlook for the country following the Feb. 24 invasion of Ukraine. 

     

    an_light However, Russia's Central Bank said in late April the Russian economy is expected to shrink by 8 to 10% in 2022, noting a decline in economic activity in March after the imposition of international sanctions on Russia.an_light

    Earlier the same month, the World Bank predicted that Russian GDP would shrink by 11.2% in 2022.

    Australian voters deliver strong message on climate,
    ending CONServative government's 9-year reign

    Welp, it certainly could be good news, but realistically only if the left actually provides a net sum greater good than the right did.  If they fail then they are really no better.  The proof comes in the pudding.

    That said, it is what the voters wanted, so that in itself is a positive thing.

    Stores have too much stuff.
    Get ready for discounts!  an_happydude


    New York (CNN Business)
    Some welcome news for shoppers getting squeezed by inflation:
    promotions on televisions, furniture, clothing, sporting goods and
    other big-ticket purchases are ramping up.
    Target (TGT), Walmart (WMT), Best Buy (BBY), Urban Outfitters (URBN)
    and other top retailers have said in recent weeks that they are sitting on
    too much inventory for some of their products. As a result, they plan to
    mark down prices and step up sales on those items to clear the glut.

    It marks a major reversal from much of 2021,
    when discounts on big-ticket items were scarce for consumers.
    Last year, big chains dialed back on promotions because products were in tight supply due to production bottlenecks and slowdowns at key global ports.

    I hate to see the innocent citizens of Russia get hurt like that.  Many don't agree with Putin's war, yet they will be affected.

    Although this does make sense that inventories are overstocked now in many different goods.

    Twitter still wants the deal and will turn to the courts.  But at least for now, Trump won't have this bullhorn to incite a civil war, and his own platform which he called "troath sintial" is underwhelming to say the least.
