Read that he is resigning because he has/had a consensual relationship with a colleague

What a garbage response considering we literally just saw the U.S. lie about a civilian drone strike in Afghanistan in September.

Wow Pence actually spoke out against Trump. Kinda sad telling the truth these days will get him in trouble but I'm guessing there will be some decent backlash from Trump & Co. Good on Pence. Can't believe I just said that.

Decency isn't totally dead in the Republican party, but it didn't get vaccinated and is now on a ventilator in the ICU...

Time will tell.

In more positive news.

Quote:
North Carolina's state Supreme Court handed Democrats one of their biggest legal victories yet in the fight over redistricting, striking down a GOP-drawn congressional map that could have given Republicans control of 11 of the state’s 14 districts.

In a ruling released Friday evening, the justices split 4-3 along party lines in deeming the current map an illegal partisan gerrymander that is “unconstitutional beyond a reasonable doubt.”
Quote:
Democrats have notched three major redistricting court rulings this year alone. Ohio's state Supreme Court tossed out a Republican-drawn map that could have relegated Democrats to just two of the 15 seats. Meanwhile, federal judges ordered Alabama's legislature to draw two heavily Black districts instead of packing a large number of the state's Black voters into one seat — though Republicans have appealed that ruling to the Supreme Court.

Courts are also expected to determine the maps in Wisconsin, Louisiana and Pennsylvania in the coming weeks. All three states have Democratic governors with veto power but Republican-dominated state houses.

Sigh. It's not a broken promise when Congress refuses to include funding for the initiative. That is Congress not getting it done. That falls on two DINOs right now. I hope people remember that when they go to the polls. I have informed my representative and senators that intend to - not that they care - and will make sure if they don't support student loan forgiveness and free community college they will not have my vote. I'd rather vote Republican than vote for a Democrat that does not have the balls to support what is right. At least with a Republican you know they are out to #### you and work against your best interests.

This is correct. The actual promise was to support and sign any legislation on loan forgiveness. There' being no legislation to support and sign is not on Biden.

A ban on stock trading by judges would be fine, but there's no reason one is required for the other. Congressionals generally have a much greater ability to affect prices of individual stocks than judges do.

They should all be required to put their assets into blind trusts, and not just at the federal level either, the whole country is pretending to be moral while actually running at third world levels of corruption

How does it work in Canada and the UK? I believe cabinet ministers must put their assets in a blind trust? That was the issue with Morneau right? That he still owned shares in his family business?

I think they make an exception for a family business in Canada, the UK is worse than some tin pot banana republic frankly
