Eleanor Roosevelt stars in a facebook meme about the word liberal. The l-word is not the same today as it was in 1962, when the quote was written.
so geoff duncan might decide to take his ball and go home…or will he run for a different office? and kelvin king is taking the trumpy black guy spot in the senate primary against warnock…does this mean herschel walker won’t be a dawg in that fight after all…
and some other navy seal military man type thinks he is the best one to take down warnock…it’s gonna be an interesting year…and snuggles hasn’t even made whatever the hell he’s doing (primarying kemp?) official yet…
Le Sigh. Sterling’s editorial in the Post reeked of politicking – a 180 from his command during the actual election.
Be the useful and believable numbers guy, not whatever that was.
In “Other New and Obvious Ways that the Trump Admin Was The Actual Swamp”, there is a new EPA inspector’s general report indicating Trump-appointed fossil fuel lobbyist suppressed public data on known high carcinogenic toxin levels around Sterigenics plant.

I didn’t follow the local Sterigenics stories in every detail, but the data that was suppressed in Summer 2018 by the Trumpee did emerge just briefly enough (likely at risk to somebody’s job)

to be noticed and picked up by Georgia Health News, state EPD, and Cobb County and Smyrna officials. Testing there apparently began about a year later, and there was a Consent Order, etc. A small summary embedded in this article:

So, to recap, the Trump admin would have rather let folks in Smyrna and Covington (not to mention Illinois) live and die ignorantly, breathing ethylene-oxide Swamp Gas.
Georgia’s unemployment rate dropped last month to 4.5%, about a percent higher than last March’s pre-pandemic rate of 3.6%, but much lower than last April’s jobless peak of 12.5%
At the same time, the Georgia Department of Labor’s website, EmployGeorgia.com, includes about 223,000 listings, over half of which advertise annual salaries higher than $40,000, said Georgia Labor Commissioner Mark Butler.
“March is yet another month where we have seen job growth throughout the state,” Butler said. “EmployGeorgia is showing triple the amount of job listings that we were seeing at the start of pandemic. Georgia has gained a vast majority of the jobs that were lost since March of last year, and we continue to remain strong in economic growth and business development.”

It seems we doing pretty good under a Biden administration, doesn’t it?
