Nebraska Republican Congressman Jeff Fortenberry is a convicted liar who has now resigned. Good. But he has never been held accountable for abusing the power of his office to hunt down and threaten the jobs of people who criticized him with a joke. You might remember his Chief of Staff made national news for threatening a state university professor for LIKING a Facebook post of a sign calling him Fartenberry.
But what most people don’t know is how Fortenberry abused the power of his office to hunt down the people who put googly eyes on that sign. Fortenberry’s office got two Lincoln detectives assigned to lift fingerprints, get DNA samples and comb through cell phone calls like it was a murder case. Keep in mind this happened in a community with 1,000s of untested rape kits.
Later, when people put googly eyes and post it notes on the door of his office and the office of Sen. Deb Fischer, he again overreacted.
Fortenberry got the TV show CRIMEBUSTERS to ask the public to identify his critics!
Instead of laughing it off, Fortenberry and Sen Deb Fischer pursued a criminal case for property damages of one dollar! Sen. Deb Fischer . . . → Read More: Fortenberry, convicted liar and thin-skinned bully, resigns @spockosbrain

It’s time to bust these lying weasels for their treasonous acts & reckless endangerment of politicians’ lives.
https://twitter.com/RepDeanPhillips/status/1500131161770766336?s=20&t=l8KzoTX-bnH2qkNcWNP6QA Boebert’s tweet about Speaker Pelosi had the same energy Rep. Lauren Boebert tweeted that Nancy Pelosi had left the House Chambers which let the insurrectionists know when she was there.
This weekend Senators Rubio, Daines and Grassley all tweeted out info about where a politician was at a specific time to people who wanted to kill them. It reminded me of Lauren Boebert’s tweet about Pelosi during the January 6th insurrection. Once again we see Republicans giving out location information of a politician to people who want to kill them.
This SHOULD be an opportunity for Democrats to nail these three senators and Rep. Boebert’s for their reckless endangerment and, in the case of Boebert, her treasonous behavior. When this first happened I tweeted about it, then predicted the GOP lies and how they would spin it to the MSM. (I could show you the timestamp to prove that I got it right but that’s not a big deal.) But what I want to do now is go further into what the 3 GOPs said & how the media could . . . → Read More: Stop helping Republicans weasel out of targeting politicians for death

Missouri’s Attorney General Eric Schmitt went on TV and said masks don’t work for kids. He’s spreading dangerous and deadly misinformation.
Why is @AGEricSchmitt pushing this misinformation? He’s running for Senator! (BTW, Schmitt replaced the previous AG from Missouri who ran for Senator. Josh Hawley.)
I don’t believe in the forced masking of 5-year olds. There’s no science behind it. There’s nothing to support it. Families are best to make these decisions, and that’s why we’re fighting so hard on this front. Where we’re at now, I mean the flu is much more dangerous for the 5-year old than COVID is. Those are just facts. The problem is it’s not based on facts and science. There’s just no, there’s no study that shows any measurable protection for kids wearing masks. In fact, the good news is, um, you know, uh COVID isn’t.. you know It’s hard for kids to contract, transmit, or get seriously ill from COVID. That’s the good thing. Not all viruses are the same.

By spocko, on December 22nd, 2021% After dropping a gun at TJ Maxx, a customer shoots herself in the foot.#GunFail #ShootingWhileShopping
OPELIKA, Alabama. — A shopper at a TJ Maxx in east Alabama shot herself in the foot when her gun accidentally discharged, police said.
The gunfire happened when she dropped the gun Monday afternoon in the TJ Maxx at the Tiger Town shopping center in Opelika, The Opelika-Auburn News reported.
The 55-year-old woman was taken to a hospital. No other injuries were reported.
AP Via Fox 13, In Texas you need TWO signs. One to ban concealed guns one to ban open carry.
According to the story, only the woman was injured. If I was in the store when this happened, even if I wasn’t physically injured, I would sue. And I would win because TJ Maxx failed to take the simple step of putting up a sign saying no guns in the store. Here’s my logic:
The store has a duty of care to shoppers. By allowing people with guns to enter as customers, they are taking on a certain level of responsibility to protect them. If they fail, and someone is injured while in the store, the company can be held liable. How liable they . . . → Read More: What can we do about guns in stores? Sue the stores.

I’m a fan of the Sister’s in Law podcast, so I sent them a few questions via tweet. Some are based on the report of the House Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis. Since I’m a long-winded Vulcan I provided the background to my questions below.
Ordering COVID test results to be delayed &/or falsified is a crime, but the public can't see it.If the Trump admin used medical privacy laws to intentionally hide violations of public health laws, who prosecutes that? @JillWineBanks @COVIDOversighthttps://t.co/XM2nZxnAQm pic.twitter.com/OZl2QvlEuN

Meadows or others in the Trump campaign obstructed, delayed and possibly falsified COVID test reporting. They started at the Tulsa rally and did it later during Trump’s infection period. (Based on the reporting of Carol Leonnig’ & Jonathan Karl)1) Could you address how medical privacy laws have been used to hide the Trump admin’s violations of state & federal COVID test reporting laws?
Because of medical privacy laws, the media can’t see or prove how Trump, Meadows and/or campaign staff intimidated public health officials and what their response was.

Yesterday Mehdi Hasan raised the question. “Why aren’t we holding Trump legally accountable for COVID deaths.”
When I saw this segment I was excited because I’ve been working on this and wrote about it recently at Crooks & Liars.
.@ElieNYC I want legal accountability for Trump for his role in the death of 100's of thousands.How do we make that happen?We can start by busting Trump & campaign staff for violating public health laws at the Tulsa rally. @glennkirschner2 @mehdirhasan https://t.co/GdGrP9LZzn

Elie said our legal system has a problem with prosecuting politicians and their policy issues. He suggested that the Catholics created hell to punish people like Trump. I’m a big fan of Elie and I wish I had the chance to talk about this with him and discuss all the reasons why it’s hard to do. Then, as an activist, I’ll ask.“Okay Elie, what CAN WE DO to hold them legally accountable for all this sickness and death?”
For the last 18 months I’ve been trying to figure out ways to hold Trump and his administration accountable for the infections and deaths directly related to their actions & non-actions spreading . . . → Read More: How can we hold Trump legally accountable for COVID deaths?

When Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky put this photo of him posing with his family & their guns, my friend Jeff Tiedrich tweeted. “Every single one of these guns cost more than a Le Creuset pot.” So I asked some of my friends in the Gun Violence Prevention movement if they knew what all these guns were, how much they cost and the cost of the ammo to fill their magazines.
$84,000 of AR15s, Thompson & Uzi submachine guns shown.These donors gave @RepThomasMassie $60K @Masimo @SFGiants @CUNA @MarathonPetroCo @NAHBhome @airportscouncil @AtlasAirWW @UPS @ford @DoreenBrasseaux @ATT @lathamwatkins @PitneyBowesPls give equal amounts to #Oxford victims. pic.twitter.com/tvVCrcqqGU

I expect this photo will be discussed on the cable shows and late night comedy because this is the kind of sick trolling that the GOP engages in and is easy to talk about. “That’s disgusting! What a horrible person!” But that will be the end of it. So I wanted to know if there was anyone whose opinion Massie cared about he would listen to. So I looked at his donors. It’s filled with right wing PAC money from right wing donors & gun rights groups.

In Jonathan Karl’s new book Betrayal: The Final Act of the Trump Show, he wrote,
“According to two senior campaign officials, after the eighth person tested positive, two of them with the Secret Service, word came down from the campaign leadership: STOP TESTING.”
My question is: Who specifically in campaign leadership issued that order? Give me a name. Was it a medical professional? Was it Sean Conley? Who was in charge of the White House Medical Unit in Tulsa at that time? Who was in charge of making sure Federal, state and local public health laws and emergency orders were followed?
Karl didn’t use that person’s name in the excerpt I read in Vanity Fair. Why not? Why is he protecting them? Because they were a source from his book?
The name is important because that person’s order led to multiple violations of Federal CARES act laws and Oklahoma’s public health COVID reporting laws that were in effect at the time. Specifically, §63-6103, The Catastrophic Health Emergency Powers Act,Those violations meant that state public health officials could not do their job to protect the health of people in their state. Thousands of people in Oklahoma got sick and died . . . → Read More: Who in Trump’s campaign leadership ordered COVID-19 testing stopped at the Tulsa rally?
