Saw this online.

Let’s see, the January 6th committee wants to chat with Meadows.  Plus, both Meadows and his wife have a lock-and-key case against them for voter fraud.

So it’s kinda hard to speculate exactly why they are spending a hunks of bucks ($158,800 so far) at a DeeCee law firm that specializes in political messes.

Kappel said Buckley is a general service law firm, but does have a practice devoted to congressional investigations. He said there isn’t reason to believe Debra Meadows is under investigation for the events of Jan. 6.

“At least if the Select Committee is investigating that, they haven’t made it public, which is why these legal fees are so intriguing,” Kappel said. “It may just be possible that in trying to identify all of the telephones that Mark Meadows had access to and may have used, they cast a wide net and also subpoenaed his wife for her phone or a phone that was paid for by her PAC.”

By the this is a PAC that spent money for both Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert to win their races. So, you know, any money spent on lawyers is well spent because, Honey, at least it ain’t going to Greene and Boebert.

By the way, if Madison Cawthorn is telling the truth that fellow lawmakers have invited him to an orgy and done cocaine in front of him, who would you put on the pro-orgy list?  I mean, Mark Meadows would be right at the slimy top of the list, right?

So, come to find out, seven hours are missing from Trump’s White House records on January 6th. Wow, he smashed Rose Mary Woods’ record all to hell and back. There were only 18 minutes missing on Nixon.

Internal White House records from the day of the attack on the U.S. Capitol that were turned over to the House select committee show a gap in President Donald Trump’s phone logs of seven hours and 37 minutes, including the period when the building was being violently assaulted, according to documents obtained by The Washington Post and CBS News.

So there’s all manner of thought on what the dickens happened because everybody knows he was on the phone the entire time trying to have Mike Pence, Nancy Pelosi, and every policeman on the property killed.

Someone suggested he used other folk’s phones or used a burner phone.  Trump says he doesn’t know anything about burner phones. That’s is not surprising being as how Trump doesn’t know anything about most things.

He claims not to have any idea why those records are missing and added that he doesn’t have anything to do with it.

Cover up?  Ya think?

“28 Days Later” was one of the more frightening plots I’ve sat through. I suppose one could claim that it belongs somewhere on the zombie pantheon, but the way things got started was unique. Somehow monkeys were being tested and were filled with so much rage that their entire physical composition changed.

Of course, whether it is completely realistic to go from 0 to 100 by simply getting a little blood mixed with yours is neither here nor there. It’s a movie and you suspend disbelief long enough to enjoy it. If we turn our attention to real life we notice that things seem to be trending in that direction. People aren’t becoming zombie-like or anything like that. At least they aren’t yet.

The Will Smith/Chris Rock incident by itself isn’t proof of anything. It was a public display of someone losing their cool that happened to be captured on national television. What is alarming is the reaction that all of us had to that event. Some people sided with Rock while others sided with Smith. Many claimed they were both in the wrong. Taking sides is not what’s alarming here. What’s alarming is how people identified with Smith and the anger he had.

People openly fantasized about who they would smack if given the chance. Others turned the incident into memes and used it as a collective joke. I have to cop to the humor portion. I told a few jokes on social media myself.

Violence is a symptom. More to the point, the fantasies and jokes about violence are also a symptom. We are an angry people. Anger has managed to soak into our lives much like a virus. How we fight for what we want changes. After all, there is a reason why people call politics blood sport these days.

Maybe the key in this whole thing is identifying a common enemy. America has always been at its best when we can focus our collective energies on a common enemy. We could be talking about our own revolution. We could be talking about Hitler, Mussolini, and Japan in World War II.

The problem these days is that the common enemy is becoming more and more elusive. That common enemy is rage. It seeps into our lives and eventually gets us to do and say things that we never would have done in the first place. It gets the MAGA folks to abandon any last bastions of humanity to back a black hole of a human being. He says things they wish they could say. He lives the way they think they want to live.

Naturally, those that oppose MAGA and Q also find themselves giving into rage. We are angry that our world is so ugly and people seem to be giving into the ugliness. We are angry that even after all these years, people seem to give into racism, sexism, xenophobia, and all other forms of bigotry. We are angry that after all of the hard work of previous generations, the advancements that we made seem to be in peril.

We are collectively angry because it seems we have a process that nobody thinks is fair. One side thinks there is massive voter fraud because their guy lost. Another side thinks gerrymandering and other voter suppression tactics have their thumbs on the scales. We certainly believe one of those more than the other, but anger is the thing that unites them.

More than allowing one side to win or lose, it is anger that we cannot allow to win. Fighting fire with fire feels good in the moment. It feels better than the alternative. Yet, is it really better? If anger pushes us to fight for what we want then did we win anything? It can feel like we did in the moment, but when the dust settles we will find that anger is undefeated and it’s coming for us all.

Y’all smell that?  That stench of partisanship that Sotomayor pointed out about the now GOP-packed SCOTUS?  Yeah, there’s that stench, but the stench I’m talking about is that of insurrection.  We already know about the federal judge who ruled today that TFG likely committed multiple felonies trying to steal the election and stay in power and that’s no surprise, but what’s emerging now is the stench emanating from the office of our own junior senator from Texas, Fled Cruz.  Apparently, he is asshole buddies with insurrectionist lawyer John Eastman, who’s now been ordered to turn over records to the January 6th Committee since his “work” for TFG was not privileged because the judge said he was likely concealing or assisting him to commit fraud against the American people.  BTW, that’s a crime.  Cruz has known Eastman since they clerked together in 1995, and they teamed up (and succeeded) in 2000 to make sure that Al Gore didn’t get a fair count in Florida in that disputed election.

Cruz has continued that tradition ever since, but now it’s coming to light that not only is he a sniveling brown noser who can’t tolerate cold weather or stand up to an ignorant blowhard like TFG, he decided that helping his effort to overthrow the US government was more important than being not a slimy-skinned reptile.  Cruz agreed to lead the insurrection charge in the Senate for TFG, using Eastman’s battle plan to steal the election from Biden by coercing Pence to defraud the American people and his involvement ain’t pretty.  I encourage everyone to read Heather Scott Richardson’s summary of Judge Carter’s order to Eastman to disgorge the damning documents he’s been concealing for over a year, hiding behind attorney privilege that doesn’t exist. It is chilling.  Since it’s “more likely than not” that TFG and associates criminally obstructed Congress, that evidence could not only incriminate Eastman, but all those doing his and TFG’s bidding, like our Junior Senator who dishonors Texas on a daily basis.

I’m popping popcorn.

Okay, so we got this ——

The first breakthrough in making Trump & Company own up to what they did.

I have hope.

Sarah Bygawd Palin is yacking it up that she might run for the empty Congressional seat left behind by Alaska’s Don Young.

Her announcement, as you so have so rightly come to expect, is a doozy.

I’m sorry I got a screen shot of her with her lids closed but I am just trying to protect you from the loco camped out in her eyeballs.

“I’m going to throw my hat in the ring because we need people that have cajones.”

Yes, because the one thing lacking in the House of Representative are cajones. Yeah, that’s what we need!  People who scream back at the president in the middle of a speech.  People who refuse to wear masks because they have the right to infect people.  White men with the courage to lecture a black woman about racism. Put your cajones in your purse and sit down and shuddup until it’s your turn.

We need people like Donald Trump who has nothing to lose like me.

Yeah, let’s see. Ya lost your job, your husband, your quest for well behaved children, and well hell’s bells you ain’t got nothing to lose because you ain’t got nothing.

No more of this vanilla milquetoast namby-pamby wussy pussy stuff…

Oh, have mercy on my withering soul. Is that old white lady rap?

Y’all, I can’t take a whole season of this woman. I think I’ll tell Will Smith that she said something tacky about his mother.
