Pentagon looks to recoup money from Flynn for unsanctioned foreign payments
The Department of Defense is seeking to recoup thousands of dollars from former national security advisor Michael Flynn after determining that the retired general failed to disclose foreign payments.
Flynn, who served for three weeks under then-President Donald Trump, received hundreds of thousands of dollars from Turkish and Russian entities in 2015 without approval from the U.S. government, according to documents obtained by The Washington Post.
The U.S. Army told Flynn in May that it is seeking a sum of $38,557.06 after finding that the former general received the same amount from the Russian government for attending a dinner in celebration of Russian news agency RT.
This finding, among others, was released in a January memo to the Army that dealt with the results of an investigation of Flynn.
Flynn did not “obtain the approvals of the Secretary of the Army and the Secretary of State,” resulting in “a violation of the Emoluments Clause,” according to army lawyer Craig R. Schmauder.
The Emoluments Clause of the U.S. Constitution requires that former members of the U.S. military must receive approval from the government before they are able to receive money from governments of other countries.
“When there is a finding that a military retiree has violated the Emoluments Clause, the United States Government may pursue a debt collection,” Schmauder wrote in a letter seeking the $38,557.06 sum from Flynn.

Texas Paul EXPOSES Radical Right’s BIG LIE on Global Oil Market
28,036 views Jul 8, 2022 Texas Paul takes a drive down the highway and in front of an oil well gives us a lesson about how the global oil markets work and how the GOP and radical right-wing figures like Tucker Carlson and Marjorie Taylor Greene consistently lie to people about how the markets operate for nefarious goals and to destabilize America.

Only the best people! Nonetheless it will be a tight race in Georgia for Rev. Warnock. Crazy, stupid and unfit is no impediment for republican voters, though Herschel being black would be a bigger factor. Even though Warnock is a Christian minister, most republican "Christians" won't vote for him, they will vote for a crazy, lying philander with no brains or morals, just like Trump. It shouldn't even be a close race, Warnock leads by 10 points, but it's really a lot closer than that, not counting republican cheating. Some republican voters still have a sense of shame, which is why the lunatics come out better on election day than the polls indicate.

That might play to the base, but it remains to be seen how much of white America is willing to fuck themselves over their "greater cause". If you think you are circling the drain of democracy now, wait until these assholes win the house and senate in November, the whirling motion and gurgling sounds will grow much more intense than this, you ain't seen nothing yet. Reward these assholes with power after what they have done and I guess America will get the government the people deserve, for a long time, the nation will have proven itself unfit for freedom and needs a hard master, bitter experience and yet more humiliation.

Texas is purple, not red and the republicans have been fucking up mightily on everything. You also have one senator up for reelection in November. If the democrats win the house and the governorship in Texas, the republicans will go nuts and it will be as bad as trying to get rid of Trump! How many recounts of not even close results, as the base refuse to accept it? The republican state senate and supreme court would block everything of course!

Chancery Court in Davidson County, Tennessee, has ruled that taxpayer funded establishments can place signs that say "No Jews Allowed" ... as long as there is at least one establishment where services for Jews are provided.

No doubt that man has violated the clause bigly and manyly. But until it is otherwise, I don’t see trying this case overcoming his weasel/survivor superpowers.
