Es un Domingo Miguel Cohen para el presidente Donald Trump, ya que comenzó la mañana atacando a su ex abogado.

Recién después de un largo día y su largisimo discurso en la Conferencia de Acción Política Conservadora. El Comandante en Tweet continuó con los ataques de Cohen que comenzaron anoche.

Sin duda, esto se debe a los noticieros del domingo por la mañana, que se han centrado incansablemente en el testimonio de Cohen la semana pasada ante el Comité de Supervisión de la Cámara de Representantes.

This may look pleasant to the naked eye, but it was definitely not pleasant, nor was I naked when stepping outside this morning following 0-degree temperatures to shovel snow.

After I cleaned up a clear path from the entrance of my NYC condo building, all the way to Yirong's parking space at the very end of our snowy lot. (Immigrants ... We Get The Job Done)

Desiderio Alberto Arnaz y de Acha III better known as Desi Arnaz, Sr. or Ricky would have been 102 today. By the way, Desi also refers to an Indian individual. It meant country, but its usage shifted more towards referring to people, cultures, and products of a specific region.

Desi was the son of Dolores “Lolita” de Acha y de Socias, and Desiderio Alberto Arnaz. The Cuban-born American actor, musician, and television producer. He is best remembered for his role as Ricky Ricardo on my favorite sitcom #ILoveLucy.

Awful Lawful?

We can't see the forest for the trees is an expression used when details of a problem are overlooked. The Republican-controlled Congress has been too involved in the wording of bills that they couldn't see the forest for the trees.

By focusing on what is officially defined as illegal or criminal, while a more serious threat to democracy is left out. This threat is caused by predatory practices considered to be skirting the letter of the law, but have multiple adverse social consequences.

#USA deterrence of North Korea is now in a Trump imposed downward spiral. The economic sanctions are beginning to fray. Japan may be losing confidence. South Korea’s Moon sees America as headed to the door. Kim keeps producing missiles with more nukes. Meanwhile, an annual Foal Eagle and Key Resolve USA-South Korean military exercises are not happening. What the hell is the Republican-controlled US Senate doing about it?

CA$H Bail

Submitted by ub on

Equal justice under the law means just what it says. It should apply to everyone, not just folks who have a savings account or money for a rainy day.

Cash Bail is money that you pay as a deposit for the release of a person who has been arrested (also known as a defendant).

The Department of Finance holds the money to help guarantee that the defendant will return to court for their trial.

The Cash Bail is held in a bank account until the court closes the case and issues a court order to refund the Cash Bail to the person who paid it.
