January 6 was like a much dumber version of Hitler’s Beer Hall Putsch and yet a plurality of American voters were like, Yeah, let’s give that guy the nuke codes again. An absolutely world historical debacle of societal ignorance. I’ll never understand it.

One of the features of Trumpism is its tendency to thrust the most weird, demi-competent, more-than-a-little-nuts marginal lawyers into the spotlight to be themselves.
NEW: Tina Peters is rejecting a J6er's call to storm a Colorado prison and free her.
Peters is distancing herself from the jailbreak scheme and violent actions after allies and her attorney talked about using force or violence to free her and punish those keeping her in prison.

I asked the Pentagon about Pete Hegseth's mentor. Then the threats started.

Climate denialism, empowered by nihilists and know-nothings, undermining science & destroying the evidence that they previously just rejected. Meanwhile, out here in WA, roads are sliding into rivers (an unprecedented weather event) b/c it’s too damn warm to be raining this hard for this long.
