21 November (15865) (658) MASA plus 658 days out of 1461 days plus a 2nd term. Two of the largest rail unions diverged on labor deal votes Monday, with SMART-TD rejecting the deal and BLET voting for ratification. A strike could be devastating to the economy on top of inflation. Shipping-driven shortages will drive prices higher. The Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employes is scheduled to strike on  Dec. 5 with the Brotherhood of Railroad Signalmen. Let's hope they can negotiate a settlement before December 5. It is pretty quiet now that a special prosecutor has been appointed. Except of course for the bleatings from DDT's wounded ego. Prosecutors in the Trump Organization’s criminal tax fraud trial rested their case. Weisselberg testified last week that he conspired with McConney, his subordinate, to hide more than a decade’s worth of extras from his taxable income, but that neither Trump nor the family was involved. This is one to keep watching. Musk is acting like the social ignoramus that he is by reinstating the personal account of far-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, which was banned in January for violating the platform’s COVID misinformation policies. Greene is probably one of the biggest nut cases in the House right now. The presumptive House leader, McCarthy, will have his hands full controlling these beasts. A 22-year-old man with a history of domestic violence killed five people and injured 22 others with an AR-15 at an LGBTQ+ nightclub.

In response, Herschel Walker delivered an unhinged trans-phobic speech the day after the LGBTQ nightclub shooting. I sure hope that Georgia voters see the fool that could become their Senator and reject Herschel soundly. The same thing goes for our favorite dummy DDT. He needs to be rejected and then invited to the exclusive club where they wear orange clothes, jail for committing felonies.
