It would be a very handy way to make this shameful episode of our history go away and void everything he did in his second term, but ... because of that, I think it the least likely option.

I find this very fascinating. Like... okay, so... is this an insult to his supporters, many of whom spent time in prison for him? Will they think they were true but were led by bad actors? But many of them know each other by now, you'd think.

Things are unraveling: Truth, his neurons, democracy...

Her sister Glynnis lived near where I grew up, and we'd visit her sometimes. She had an exuberant miniature poodle named "Sir Paw."

She once told me a story about her and her siblings climbing pine trees near where she grew up in Gilmer. She fell and landed in the sandy dirt floor up to her neck.

I miss that woman so fucking much.

She made amazing plum jelly from the plum tree next to her house on the lake in Grapevine. And when we visited, she'd always give me silver dollars.

I had an Auntie Faye whose husband fought under Patton in North Africa and Italy. Is that who they're talking about?

Okay but fuck Linda specifically. She and I have previous.

At least the Sun King commissioned art and music for his court. What the fuck are these clowns doing beyond paving the rose garden and building a ballroom he can adorn with gold spray painted tack ons from Home Depot?

Noem thinks habeas corpus is the president’s constitutional right to remove people from the country.

Trump?

Thinks Habeas is a person.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 13h

Q: Have you given any more thought to possibly suspending habeas corpus?

TRUMP: Suspending who?

Q: Habeas corpus

TRUMP: I don't know. I'd rather leave that to Kristi.

Compared with every little thing Biden did being scrutinized under a high powered microscope… it makes me want to scream.

The Secretary of Homeland Security suspending habeas corpus would be another escalation and illegal act, but also just another Wednesday.

Can we call them Nazis now?

Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.
