    He is an ambassador to Washington DC . . . these people are usually invited to things like this.

    You know who else is invited?

    The RUSSIAN ambassador . . . oh, and the Brit, German, French, Polish, Aussie, Japanese etc...


    Go for it Skidmark - you're on a roll . . . and YOUR ambassador is also invited . . . he represents YOU, so if that isn't scraping the bottom of the barrel.







    And to send them back to Venezuela before anyone can inspect them


    Among those dignitaries is Carlos Vecchio, a former Exxon lawyer who currently serves as US-recognized “Interim President” Juan Guaidó’s envoy in Washington. When the Trump Administration initiated a coup against Venezuela’s government in January of 2019, Vecchio became Guaidó’s ambassador, and has risen to prominence as the de facto leader of a US-based exile lobby dedicated to toppling Venezuela’s UN-recognized government.

    The Biden team’s decision to invite Vecchio was a disappointing sign to those hoping the new administration would break from Trump’s failed and destructive policy of recognizing Guaidó as Venezuela’s leader. In the two years since Washington appointed the previously unknown opposition figure to lead its attempt at regime change, Guaidó has failed to rally public support in Venezuela or gain control of any government ministry. The country’s military remains loyal to President Nicolás Maduro and the United Nations still recognizes the Maduro government’s authority.

    Because you're a bit fucking stupid and all, let me explain. This was in response to baldy orange loser deploying unidentified out of state federal gangs to go around arresting people with impunity.

    I am writing to request a full list of the agencies involved and clarifications of the roles and responsibilities of the troops and federal law enforcement resources operating in the city.”
    She doesn't need to do that this week. The ones in DC this week are there to stop the mindless criminal trumpanzee and QAnon thugs with whom you share ideals from trashing the Inauguration of the democratically elected President.

    You feeble-minded, witless, old cockwomble.

    Umm, ok. As usual, you take the side of another despot. I guess since trump is a wannabe despot who just tried to steal an election you would support him, but he is on the other side of your political spectrum. Many of us know that you are ok with the whole stealing elections thing as you have proven before as long as the despot fits your political idology.

    She is not a hypocrite at all. She is right to call attention to the double standards employed by your departing orange god who gassed and arrested peaceful protesters, so he could have a publicity moment holding a bible. If you were a real Christian you would have been appalled by those actions. That is a far cry from the terrorists that stormed the Capitol for the first time since the War of 1812.

    There is no parallel you idiot. Stop trying to find scapegoats for the actions of treasonous traitors on your side. You have been avoiding these threads since you lost the elections and have not made one statement speaking out against that insurrectionists that attempted to overthrow hundreds of years of democratic institutions on the 6th of this month.

    Disgusting.

    Good god I feel sorry for you. You live in a right wing propagandist echo chamber. Not one of those links support your initial assertion sadly you are too stupid to realize this.

    The real sad take away from your posts is that you are just deflecting away from the true crime that was committed by right wing traitors and scum who assaulted the Capitol. You are the true hypocrite and a fake Christian as well. There is a special place in hell waiting for you.



    Republican Jesus is not the real man. He will send scum like you straight to hell to face the cenobites. Your awaking is coming. Hell awaits all you fake Christians.

    Not only denying of Holocaust is punishable...

    Why calls to expel or censure Republicans for objecting to the electoral college are wrong

    Republican Sens. Ted Cruz (Tex.) and Josh Hawley (Mo.) face intense calls to be censured or expelled from Congress for their leading roles in the effort to object to the certification of the electoral college vote last week.

    • Biden plans quick executive action on immigration, but warns of potential delay on legislation


    Shortly after taking office this week, President-elect Joe Biden plans to begin gradually making it easier to seek asylum along the U.S.-Mexico border, impose a deportation moratorium and extend protections for so-called "Dreamers" using his executive authority, people briefed on the plans told CBS News.

    He also plans to propose a broad immigration bill that, if passed by Congress, could legalize millions of immigrants living in the U.S. without legal permission.

    But in an early sign that the incoming president could struggle to fulfill some of his bolder campaign promises, Mr. Biden is asking immigration reform advocates for patience, cautioning that his administration and Congress may not be able to pass a large-scale immigration revamp in the first 100 days of his presidency, according to three participants in a meeting the Biden team held with Latino leaders last week.

    Mr. Biden and his team cited the ongoing pandemic, the economic downturn and the upcoming Senate impeachment trial as reasons for a likely delay. Participants in the meeting, all veterans of past fights for changes in immigration policy, said the warning is understandable, and they praised the ambitious legislative proposal.

    Domingo Garcia, who attended the meeting on behalf of the League of United Latin American Citizens, said Biden's proposal plan would be "transformative for millions of new Americans." Hector Sanchez, executive director of Mi Familia Vota, said the plan is "the most progressive I've seen" from any president.

    But Ramiro Cavazos, the president of the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, said he and other participants stressed to Mr. Biden's team that they still expect action on immigration, despite the other challenges.

    "We made it very clear, all of us collectively, that because it's a new administration and the Senate and the House will be under the control of the same party, that they need to tackle immigration," Cavazos told CBS News. "We missed that opportunity under President Obama and clearly, over the last four years, Latinos have been under attack."

    Mr. Biden's team said the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program — which Mr. Trump unsuccessfully tried to end — would be extended for four years, safeguarding the work permits and protections from deportation of more than 640,000 undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children.: Biden plans quick executive action on immigration, but warns of potential delay on legislation - CBS News

    • Biden's inauguration to feature nationwide tribute to honor COVID-19 victims


    President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration is set to be a celebratory event, featuring big names like Lady Gaga, John Legend and Bruce Springsteen, among others. But ahead of the big day, the new administration is first hosting a ceremony to remember and honor Americans around the country — those who have been killed by COVID-19.

    According to the Presidential Inaugural Committee, the ceremony, scheduled for Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. ET, will feature the first-ever lighting around the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington, D.C. to memorialize American lives lost.

    The committee is asking cities and towns nationwide to participate in the event by illuminating buildings and ringing church bells at the same time, "in a national moment of unity and remembrance."

    "The inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris represents the beginning of a new national journey," PIC Communications Director Pili Tobar said in a statement about the event. "However, in the midst of a pandemic — when so many Americans are grieving the loss of family, friends, and neighbors — it is important that we honor those who have died, reflect on what has been one of the more challenging periods in the nation's history, and renew our commitment to coming together to end the pandemic and rebuild our nation.": Biden's inauguration to feature nationwide tribute to honor COVID-19 victims - CBS News - https://twitter.com/KamalaHarris/sta...57788384014337

    • The committee first announced the lighting ceremony in late December, in which the Lincoln Memorial's reflecting pool will be lit. Biden, incoming first lady Jill Biden, Vice President-elect Kamala Harris and her husband, Douglas Emhoff, will be in Washington, D.C. participating in the ceremony at the Lincoln Memorial.


    Cardinal Wilton Gregory, the first Black U.S. Cardinal, will deliver the invocation. Gospel music icon Yolanda Adams and Lori Marie Key will also perform.: Empire State Building lights on eve of Biden inauguration to honor COVID-19 victims | TheHill

    Might one suggest they dig out the comprehensive immigration reform bill that had broad bipartisan support and was only blocked from being passed and signed into law by John Boehner's pathological fear of the teabaggers party and refusal to put it to a vote?

    And how is one man able to block legislation anyway? Even the fucking President can't if there are enough votes.

    ^Hopefully they’ll get this one passed within two years.

    • Senate - The vote was 68-32. Fourteen Republicans crossed the aisle to vote with all Democrats in favor.


    “The House is not going to take up and vote on whatever the Senate passes,” Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) reemphasized on Thursday. “We’re going to do our own bill, through regular order, and it’ll be legislation that reflects the will of our majority and the will of the American people.”: Immigration reform bill 2013: Senate passes legislation 68-32 - POLITICO - S.744 - 113th Congress (2013-2014): Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act | Congress.gov | Library of Congress - U.S. Senate: U.S. Senate Roll Call Votes 113th Congress - 1st Session

    How does something like liberalizing immigration work in favor of you ?

    Corporate Democrats and mainstream Republicans are soft on immigration so that they can postpone reforming the Boomer ponzi economy for longer.

    Move more desperate people in who are willing to work for less. This also creates a brain and labor drain in the economies that these people are leaving. So it helps nobody but the rich plutocratic class. So it can't even be supported on humanist grounds.

    Bernie Sanders knows this. But this is why the primary was stolen from him
