"In a rare interview, Bostelmann wept at one point. For the most part, though, she was defiant, insisting the 2020 election was not stolen by #JoeBiden.

'I’m a #Republican who stands up for the truth and not for a lie,' Bostelmann said."

@vjack Evangical: but, but Beelzebub, an angel of another flavor will protect me and honor my religious views. I only have to let him borrow my soul for a while to smite evil abortionists. Yes, he swore he’d do that and give me front of the line privileges to the good place! Seems equitable to me. 🫢🙄

Whatever else you read today, don't miss the opinion piece by Margaret McMullan in today's WaPo.
"How I ‘bribed’ a justice to take a no-expenses-paid trip to Mississippi" tells you all you need to know about the differences among SCOTUS judges. #SCOTUS #justice

lots of people talking about Zoom training AI on audio/video/messages without opt-in — bear in mind that legallly this is a definite no-no because of the way the European Electronic Communications Code (#EECC) modified the #ePrivacy Directive in 2020 to apply confidentiality duties to over-the-top services like #Zoom.

Vivek Ramaswamy: “Cancel Juneteenth or one of the other useless ones we made up”

Also Vivek Ramaswamy (~two months ago):

@AlliFlowers I live in Texas and have MAGA coworkers. I still got trained and licensed. I want to make sure that my headshots are accurate. :-)

I think it would really help more Americans understand the gravity of what has been going on if media stopped using phrases like “reverse the results of the election” which is not a thing, or “overturn the election”, (also not a thing), and started using the language the rest of the world uses: attempted coup.

It’s not “reversing” or “overturning” an election; it’s ignoring the results of an election and installing a dictator through fraud, threats, and violence, ending democracy.

LOUDER:

Conservatives can't accept any help to average American people if it means the Biden administration chalks up a success.

Saturday the fraudster Alabama senator Tuberville of Arkansas by way of FL gets trump to come to Alabama, trump praises the racist on their redistricting, trump says he gonna make our 4 lane HWy 65 to 6 lanes. They clap. When all they had to do was tell our 100 year old Gov Kay Ivey to take that 1billions dollars of Covid money she spending to build ONE prison and give it to ALDOT-Alabama’s transportation and have them build the 6 lane Hwy. but nope her instead she gives kick backs to friends.
