- All those people who have been arrested and jailed, all those already facing charges, and those expecting indictments for their actions to upset the peaceful transfer of power: Admit that you did it for Donald Trump, not the country. You don’t want the United States to exist; you want the First Trump Dynasty. You’ve ruined your life for a politician, not the nation.
- How many people out there sincerely fear they themselves could be Individual 6? Four? Maybe five?
- Most important takeaway from the latest Trump indictment: Trump and his co-conspirators planned to deploy the United States military to enforce their fraudulent plot to overturn the 2020 election. That, ladies and gentlemen, is a coup that you would literally see in a Third World country.
- Conservatives: I don’t want my children exposed to LGBTQ subjects anywhere at any time because even being exposed to the idea will lead to adoption. Also conservatives: Let’s take the kids to the Trump rally with the guy selling Nazi flags and “Hang Nancy Pelosi” t-shirts out front.
- Donald Trump will try to get out of criminal charges using the defense that he was too dumb to understand how bad advice from his co-conspiring lawyers was, even after dozens of other lawyers told him differently. And he wants to use that “poor judgment” defense to get out of charges so he can campaign to convince voters to elect him to become the most powerful person on Earth. “I’m dumb and gullible. Put me in charge.”
- I just learned there are two branches of white supremacy: those who believe whites evolved to be superior to other races and those who believe whites were divinely anointed to be above other races. Perverse evolutionism versus Creationism.
- Four of the judges involved in the various Trump cases are migrants. That is why the United States is the beacon of democracy migrants risk their lives to come to.
- Donald Trump is in some deep shit. Put aside the politics of it all: he is in grave jeopardy of spending years–perhaps decades–behind bars. He can act like this is political theatre, but his reality is far more grave than simply losing another election.
- While I want the Trump trials–plural–televised for the sake of transparency, I’m hesitant to do so as well: airing the trials live will prompt Trump’s attorneys to produce a television show, not a legal defense. Not only will it be a distraction in the courtroom, it will be an injustice to the legal system. Worse: Trump’s lawyers continually making “showboat” objections and motions that have no basis in law as a stunt to pretend for the audience that the trial is being rigged against Trump.
- A somewhat disturbing tale of a one-time poster child for old school anti-vaxxers who now understands the flu vaccine she got didn’t cause her later condition. (Coincidence ≠ causation) More than a decade leader, she speaks out about how she feels exploited and discarded by the movement. Worth reading to see how RFK Jr’s BS impacts real people’s lives.
- The amount of money we spend on elections in this country is sinful. The $9 billion spent on the midterms is more than the GDP of 50 nations.
- Regardless of injury, the first session of PT means a lot of measurement and movement in ways things hadn’t moved in a while. But with pain comes progress.
- I won’t start taking any polling seriously for another 10 months. Numbers start meaning things when the matchups are head-to-head.
- Opening the bag of pretzels from the bottom should be an impeachable offense. Especially if your son does it.
- In the first month of legal recreational cannabis in Maryland, there was more than $87 million sold within the recreational (not medical) category. That’s about $9 million in state coffers from the “sin tax” alone. Imagine that instead of having a War on Drugs for the last four decades, we had a Sale on Drugs, collecting tax revenue instead of arming/financing paramilitary forces.
- There are no bad types of apples. Red Delicious was the standard growing up… along with whatever grew on the trees in the backyard (Macintosh, maybe?). But now, it’s Honeycrisp or Granny Smith. Only crisp apples for me. You mushy-apple people are just weird.
- Thanks, all, for the encouragement during this historic, hectic week. If you can spare $10 or $15, please consider donating to our troupe here via the link below. (No, we don’t have a CHECK HERE TO TRIPLE NOW AND MAKE A WEEKLY SUBSCRIPTION button.) If things are a little tight this month, contribute a comment, particularly if you never have before. For transparency, some of those donations may go to Maryland’s new tax base. And as always, we thank you for your support.
