Hidden in the omnibus: Congressmen intend to kill all this talk from Obama about requiring "transparency" of corporate donations to SuperPACs as a way to work around Citizens United.

An alright dude.

I like that they used the phrase throwing shade.

Also, this isn't really great either:

quote:

"Mary Jo White has spent more than two years alternatively throwing shade at political disclosure rules and actively hindering their completion," said Jeff Hauser, who runs the Revolving Door Project at the Center for Effective Government. "Mary Jo White gave Congressional Republicans an opportunity to give corporate America a free pass to buy elections and public policy discreetly."
The omnibus bill further includes a ban on the Internal Revenue Service from issuing rules requiring disclosure from 501(c)(4) nonprofits engaged in politics. Groups such as these, including Karl Rove's Crossroads GPS and the billionaire Koch brothers' Americans for Prosperity, have spent hundreds of millions of dollar on election efforts without disclosing their donors since the Citizens United decision.

In other fiscal news, Oklahoma is completely controlled by the GOP at the state level since 2010.

Oklahoma is #1 in the US in public education cuts since 2010.

Oklahoma is projected to have a $900m deficit in 2016.

Oklahoma recently cut the highest bracket from 5.25% to 5.00%, and no other income brackets. This is after it fell from 6.65% to 5.25% over the 8 previous years.

A proposed penny sales tax increase for education would push Oklahoma to the top of list of states with the highest combined state and local sales taxes, according to data from a national research group.

It also would elevate Tulsa and Oklahoma City to No. 3 and No. 4, respectively, among major cities with the highest combined sales taxes, trailing only Chicago and Seattle, the Tax Foundation said.

If you sell me some poo poo, then sell me some poo poo. If you don’t want to sell it to me then don’t sell it to me. You’ve got to research Albanians, it’s the most hot tempered culture there is. I have a crazy temper myself. He’s from the streets. The guy hasn’t been in the hustle in 20 years. He doesn’t want to get me angry and I’m getting angry. Again, what Ghostface said to Bronson was 100 hundred times worse than me and RZA. This is starting to get into some weird Albanian poo poo. There are similarities, very similar. I’m just getting fed up. If he doesn’t think I have the resources to do something, he loving doesn’t know me. If Ghostface can make people disappear, what the gently caress do you think I can do?
