"A key takeaway from these recordings and the Detroit News’s reporting is that Trump was deeply involved in the minutia of how to stop the electoral certification process, even down to the votes of a county board of canvassing. …

There is almost nothing better than the words of the defendant himself to help a jury understand things like motive and intent."

Not sure what the number of people with JN.1 is in Southern California, but in the UK it's 1-in-24 #covid19 https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/dec/21/covid-infections-rising-again-in-england-and-scotland-data-shows

Joe Rogan says people regret voting for #Biden and labels him mentally incompetent for talking about “airports during the revolutionary war” — then fact-checks himself… and slowly realizes #TRUMP SAID IT. Whoopsy!🤦🏻‍♂️

Joe Manchin is going on a “listening tour”. Well, I’d ask him everywhere he goes if he thinks driving up the cost of epinephrine autoinjectors (Epipens) by 600% is a good thing. See what he says. Fuck Joe Manchin, and fuck his daughter whose actions killed kids.

Elise Stefanik, who performatively acted quite concerned about anti-semitism on campus a couple of weeks ago, meets and poses with the increasingly racist-sounding Trump who again paraphrased some of Hitler’s most sinister words this weekend.

Hate speech is never free as it is always at the expense of those it is directed at.

This could end up being the biggest infectious wave of the entire pandemic as we simply don't know yet how fast the new variant JN.1 and its offspring will reinfect and/or bypass vaccination

Meanwhile everyone is feeding the beast in unmasked denial

Another vaporware dream created by Elon Musk finally dies. Hyperloop One, formerly Virgin Hyperloop, is selling off its assets, laying off its remaining workers, and preparing to shut down by the end of the year.

The hyperloop was a concept Elon Musk championed to distract the public from California’s efforts to build a high speed rail network.

High speed rail ran against the idea that fixing the problem with cars required EVs and self driving. So he derailed it.

Religion is an insult to human dignity. With or without it you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion. - S. Weinberg

Jennifer, from North East Somerset, has numerous health conditions, including a blood-clotting disease, and says she is living a "ridiculously restricted, unpleasant, depressing life".

❌ Here’s a radical idea for ya.

We ALL know what Trump looks like, right? I mean, there’s just no mistaking his image for, say, Brad Pitt or Jamie Raskin or Giuilani?

Why don’t we all STOP POSTING HIS PHOTO with every damn post about him?

Come ON!
It’s enough that his name & latest abomination are reported 666,666 times a day. Do we need that FACE to accompany & emphasize every post?

(Answer: NOPE, NOPE, NOPE!)

Alternatively, use this one. It doesn’t suck quite as much.

OH SNAP!

George Conway, of Kellyanne infamy, is a GOP constitutional lawyer in his own right and just EXCORIATED the dissent in Anderson vs. Griswold:

❝ The three dissents were what convinced me the majority was right.

The dissents were gobsmacking—for their weakness. They did not want for legal craftsmanship, but they did lack any semblance of a convincing argument.❞

JUST IN: Judge HOWELL has ordered immediate enforcement of Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss’ judgment against #RudyGiuliani, contending they have ample reason to doubt he will make good on it. #legal

Via @Brandi_Buchman:

"Giuliani feebly counters concerns about him hiding assets, stating there is no evidence in record of any attempt by [him] to dissipate assets. This statement simply ignores the ample record in this case of Giuliani’s efforts to conceal or hide his assets..."

I am sure many of us are just amazed that there was ever any debate, that a traitor, an insurrectionist, should be able to run for anything except off the end of a plank.
