I remember waiting on evangelicals at Sunday lunch. They were the worst tippers. I used to delight in throwing their tracts in the garbage reserved for food waste because no one would ever pull something out of those bins.

Lovely waking up to hear the Tories only won 131 seats (out of 650). It's 131 too many, but it will do.

That any elected officials participated in J6 is disturbing. That some of those folks also have prior records is bonkers.This guy's on a school board & has a been arrested for drunken driving & other crimes. He says he won't step down. That level of cognitive dissonace screams evangelical

It's the 4th of July, and here I am waiting on voting results from the UK. How hard will Britons punish the Tories for 14 years of grift and ineptitude?

45 may have immunity, but his lackeys don't. Small comfort, I know. But, in these times you have to take comeuppance wherever you can find it.

J-6 defendants are coming out of prison more politicized. Not unusual 4 those who see their crimes as political. This happened to IRA & UVF prisoners in Long Kesh. Big difference: in NI, prisoners learned to view their own actions critically. Many helped lay groundwork for the Good Friday accord

My take on the debate coverage (fwiw): only one person was required to do something to win. Biden couldn't act his age. No one required or even expected Trump to do anything, including telling the truth. The only person who can win under those rules is Trump.

I'm curious what jail he'll be in. Looks like Navarro is in the Miami Federal Prions, so I'm guessing Bannon will also be in a federal prison. But, I hope they don't do even a stop over at the DC Jail. That will be a circus on top of a circus.

Sad read. Per the article, Stanford caved and closed this institute because of a trio of baddies--"conservative donors, Silicone Valley Figures, and Members of Congress."

Good news, though 2 big questions remain--who buys info wars and what do they do with it? I hope some civic minded billionaire (do they exist?) buys & kills it or donates it to an org that turns it into an anti- hate site. Something like SPLC did when they won the judgment against Aryan Nation

The tiny town of Bedford, VA lost more soldiers on D Day per capita than any other in the US. My dad & his 2 brothers, who grew up there, were all drafted and survived. My dad told me the only time he saw his father cry was when he, the youngest of the 3, got his draft notice

I was a VA resident at the time, but in college in Kentucky. I remember driving 8 hours to vote against him. Something was always off with him, but he had the aggrieved republican thing down. He seems almost tame by comparison to today's conspiracy standards

I have no sympathy for Martha Ann Alito. The stop the steal movement nearly destroyed our democracy. But I also have zero sympathy for the 'it was my wife's fault' defense. Every time he talks about this, he looks worse, not better.

Libertarians have always had trouble keeping their ideology consistent, but the fact that the party's Mises Caucus even invited Trump to speak at their nominating caucus suggests a new level of shark jumping. Locking kidnapped kids in cages on the border doesn't exactly scream limited government

One of many scary things about this is that Bundy's basically been bankrupted by the judgment against him in the St. Luke's case. So I bet he's also hoping for some personal relief if some of these folks get elected. When Bundys are involved, the conspiracies, politicking, & grift go hand in hand

I also think a lot of university board members (and big donors) are tech bros and private equity dudes who have a terrible track record at thinking they are ever wrong. Bill Ackerman is the classic example
