We live in unusually interesting times.

But you need to laugh a bit. Go stream some Monty Python. 😉

At first I thought he had a Mitch McConnell moment. Ironic to say the least.

But then I saw great fear in his eyes. It was an iconic event no matter how the right spins it. I don't know who was screaming into his ear but it was effective enough to shut him down completely.

This is going to hurt the US. I suspect the intl courts will take a look at this and use the point that the contract was made with a democratic country, not a fascist one. The ripple effect would be large.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

This is also what happens when we all sit on our butts in our cozy homes, munching on our snacks, voicing our grievances to each other. We all must rise against this fascist regime in peaceful protest on Oct 18, ‘No King’s Day’. Get your signs ready and get ready to march!

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

Trump abruptly fired its leaders, dismissed board members, criticized past programming as too woke. NPR's Elizabeth Blair wanted to find out where the fans are going.
