Just calling it now, nothing will happen to Sessions

I'd love to be proven wrong, but lately it seems like justice is dead. Somebody in the Trump Administration could literally get caught barbecuing puppies and washing them down with kitten blood, and nothing would happen to them. The enemy is in complete control of the government, and they're not interested in prosecuting their own.

Zuma's Radical Transformation: South Africa Will Allow Expropriation Of Land Without Compensation

IDK about this being a good idea....

South Africa will amend its laws to allow expropriation of land without compensation for owners as it tries to speed up the redistribution of land to its black majority, President Jacob Zuma said on Friday.

Expropriation without compensation would mark a radical policy departure for Zuma's ruling African National Congress (ANC), shifting from a willing buyer-willing seller approach to more radical alternatives.

Most of South Africa's land remains in white hands over two decades after the end of apartheid.

"We need to take bold steps that will transform our economy, including land ownership, very fast," Zuma said in a speech outlining agricultural policy.

"We are busy amending (laws) to enable faster land reform, including land expropriation without compensation as provided for in the constitution."

Not that I have anything against mentally ill people, but...

They shouldn't be the president of the USA. Trump's mental illness is as clear as day. IDK if it's from the hair meds, or old age, but he's clearly coming unhinged.

Trump threatens to destroy lawmaker opposed to police civil forfieture

Just keeps getting better with this madman as POTUS. He continues to threaten to 'destroy the careers' of his enemies.

President Donald Trump offered to inflict political damage on lawmakers who try to limit civil asset forfeiture, making a joke about a practice that has come under serious criticism in recent years from Democrats and libertarian-minded Republicans.

During a meeting at the White House with county sheriffs, Trump said he would “destroy” the career of a Texas state legislator who had proposed restrictions on seizures of property belonging to suspected criminals.

“Do you want to give his name?” Trump asked Rockwall County, Texas, Sheriff Harold Eavenson after he complained about the legislator. “We’ll destroy his career.”

The comment prompted laughter from participants in the meeting.

The nightmare continues with unreal pats win

I feel like this is some kind of bizzaro world lately where evil always wins. First Trump, and now the cheating, lucky, all around dislikeable pats win the SB with the largest comeback of SB history. Feels like the world won't give me a single damn thing to feel good about lately.
