Trump’s green slime disaster suffers humiliating new blow

Image
  Trump’s green slime disaster suffers humiliating new blow Oopsie hazy. The company that worked on previous renovations at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool during the Obama administration turned down a request to supply its products for the makeover demanded by Donald Trump because it deemed the project "unfeasible." New Jersey-based Sika USA declined the Trump regime's offer because it believed completing the project by Donald's July 4 deadline was not possible and warned that painting the pool’s bottom blue would create additional problems.

And Virginia’s Supreme Court just rejected a response by Democrats that was approved by Virginian voters and would have evened the playing field. Republicans are rewriting the rules to solidify a permanent majority in the House of Representatives — voters and democracy be damned. Nothing short of massive, unprecedented Democratic victory this November will break some of these gerrymanders. But here’s the catch:   If we can take back the Senate, we can still block Trump’s agenda no matter what happens in the House. So here’s our next move.
