1. As JJ pointed out, Roger Stone got the book thrown at him today, convicted of all seven felony charges of lying and obstruction.  Those convictions were critical to bring the the forefront of our nation’s conscience that lying to the congress and the FBI is a CRIME; a serious CRIME.
2. Add to that the virtually flawless testimony of Marie Yovanovitch, the former Ambassador to Ukraine who had been recalled and smeared by Trump because she got in the way of his drug deal Giuliani was trying to pull off.  She was very straightforward, non-partisan, and professional, and even acknowledged the appearance of conflict with Hunter Biden’s board seat on Burisma’s board.
3. The big news of the day, though, is when Trump committed another felony (and added another article to his impeachment) LIVE on Twitter and national television when he tweeted a personal attack against Yovanovitch.  When the tweet came out, Schiff halted the questioning, and read the tweet to her, soliciting her immediate response.  Her response was muted, but talked about her career as a professional being stationed in troubled places around the world whose troubles didn’t start with her.  The backlash against Trump was swift and loud, and even Fox Noise talking heads spoke out against Trump’s actions.  When the Trump National Network is speaking out, you know it’s bad.

All of this adds up to a bad day for Trump, a very bad day.  I found it immensely entertaining.

Roger Stone guilty on all seven felony counts.

He lied to protect Donald Trump.  And he’s not alone.

Trump managed to control himself during Wednesday’s testimony but holy crap on a cracker let a woman testify and he goes to Nutsville faster than a double geared jackrabbit.

While she is testifying, let me say that again, while she is freeking testifying before congress under oath, Mr. Bone Spurs Chickencrap started personally attacking her on Twitter.

It’s the first time I’ve seen witness intimidation while the witness was testifying since I saw Godfather II.

Sumbitch.

Ohio has made a decision that wrong is right.

The Ohio House on Wednesday passed the “Student Religious Liberties Act.” Under the law, students can’t be penalized if their work is scientifically wrong as long as the reasoning is because of their religious beliefs.

Instead, students are graded on substance and relevance.

So, I hear there is an opening at the Know Nothing Temple for a Priestess Extraordinaire to teach How To Pass Science With Caca del Toro.  Sounds like a fun gig.

Next will be teachers being allowed to teach in accordance with their religious beliefs. Science books replaced Bibles.

I did not see that the new law requires that Christian answers are allowed.  So I guess any old cult will do.

Thanks to Bruce for the heads up.

One of our readers suggested an edit to the name, and with a little modification to that, I agree.  So, read on, dear friends.

More reports have emerged of more abuse of athletes at Ohio State by a sports doctor Richard Strauss, and those reports now total a staggering 1,429.  A wrestling referee has stated that he reported 300 cases of this abuse to Jim Jordan, (R)-Ohio, who was then an assistant wrestling coach at the university.  Jordan, of course, “has no recollection” of this hailstorm of reports over 17 years.  His lack of knowledge of such a pervasive case of sexual abuse doesn’t pass the straight faced test, not even close.

So, in these days of labeling and name calling fostered by Trump, it seems a label for Jordan might fit.  One who allows, and even fosters sexual abuse of innocent people is often called a pimp.  So, Jimmy the Pimp seems an appropriate label for Jordan, and it rolls off the tongue almost as easily as Moscow Mitch, the name for Mitch McConnell coined by none other than Nancy Pelosi.  So, it could be a good label for our friend Jim Jordan, who loves attacking anyone and everyone who is trying to hold Donald Trump to account.  Maybe some of his own medicine is appropriate.
