A Denver lawmaker is proposing another committee to investigate the U.S. Olympic Committee after it allegedly failed to protect Olympic athletes from serial child molester Larry Nassar. Democratic U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette announced Monday that she will file legislation creating a Commission on the State of U.S. Olympics and Paralympics. The committee’s 16 members, who would be appointed by congressional leaders, will contain at least eight Olympians, if the bill becomes law. The unpaid commissioners will be given one task: studying the U.S.

    Crooks and Liars, Tuesday - 05/14/2024 - 07:13 AM

    If you don't love Jasmine Crockett, well, I just don't know about you. She is a happy warrior, slicing & dicing Republicans--particularly those right in front of her like sad-sack-propagandist, Jim Jordan. In fact, she calls Jim Jordan a Russian propagandist in this video, RIGHT TO HIS FACE. She impugns the integrity and patriotism of Jim's GOP colleagues too--God, has this group of MAGA creeps earned it--and even calls Donald Trump the "C" word!! Yep, Jasmine, like Eric Swalwell, Stacey Plaskett, Gretchen Whitmer, Jamie Raskin, Ted Lieu, AOC, Gavin Newsom, Hakeem Jeffries, Adam Schiffand I could go on, are our future.
