    • So progressive that they execute disabled people. Some weird religious priorities.yuekit
    • When your ass is on backwards, you kill all babies and let loose all the killers. I don't know any religion that supports that.

    • in addition being intellectually disabled is not a crime nor a get out of jail free card for folks who rape or kill people.

    Will the Supreme court stop Texas from executing the intellectually disabled?

    Since the Supreme Court reinstated the death penalty in the United States, in 1976, Texas has been responsible for more than a third of the country’s executions—five hundred and thirty-eight out of one thousand four hundred and forty.

    Trump appoints Goldman Sachs banker to run the Treasury Department.

    Mnuchin’s hedge fund also played a role in the housing crisis, after it scooped up the failing California bank IndyMac in 2008. Under Mnuchin’s ownership, IndyMac foreclosed on 36,000 families, particularly elderly residents trapped in reverse mortgages.

    Trump has also reportedly picked billionaire private equity investor Wilbur Ross to be commerce secretary. Ross specializes in flipping bankrupt companies for profit, often buying the U.S. companies at low prices and then selling them to overseas investors.

    Bernie Sanders: Carrier just showed corporations how to beat Donald Trump

    Today, about 1,000 Carrier workers and their families should be rejoicing. But the rest of our nation’s workers should be very nervous.

    President-elect Donald Trump will reportedly announce a deal with United Technologies, the corporation that owns Carrier, that keeps less than 1,000 of the 2100 jobs in America that were previously scheduled to be transferred to Mexico. Let’s be clear: It is not good enough to save some of these jobs. Trump made a promise that he would save all of these jobs, and we cannot rest until an ironclad contract is signed to ensure that all of these workers are able to continue working in Indiana without having their pay or benefits slashed.

    In exchange for allowing United Technologies to continue to offshore more than 1,000 jobs, Trump will reportedly give the company tax and regulatory favors that the corporation has sought. Just a short few months ago, Trump was pledging to force United Technologies to “pay a damn tax.” He was insisting on very steep tariffs for companies like Carrier that left the United States and wanted to sell their foreign-made products back in the United States. Instead of a damn tax, the company will be rewarded with a damn tax cut. Wow! How’s that for standing up to corporate greed? How’s that for punishing corporations that shut down in the United States and move abroad?

    In essence, United Technologies took Trump hostage and won. And that should send a shock wave of fear through all workers across the country.

    The Array of Conflicts of Interest Facing the Trump Presidency

    Donald J. Trump’s global business empire will create an unprecedented number of conflicts of interest for a United States president, experts in legal ethics say.

    Mr. Trump has said he will separate himself from his company before taking the oath of office, but he has not offered any details on how.

    Ethics experts warn that if Mr. Trump puts his children in control of operations but continues to own the company, he will remain vulnerable to charges that his actions as president are guided by personal financial interests.

    Here are some examples of the potential conflicts:
