Turns out, you can't really screw with Amazon after all, can ya, Donnie?

He strains at relevance, integrity and intelligence in the same way that a horse strains at a dry, firmly stuck turd. The difference being that, for the horse at least, relief is somewhere on the horizon.

Uh, do we really want National Guard commanders deciding for themselves it is time to call out the troops?

I believe the Guard in Maryland (under a Repub, Larry Hogan) quickly got dispatched, as did the Guard in DC.

Let's not blame the command, let's put all the blame on where it belongs, on the political appointees at Defense and their boss in the White House.

But I don't think I'd let the Capitol Police brass off about their naivete regarding the thuggery of Trump supporters.

I commented at the time -- I figured that at least some might try, and I was confident that the DC Guard had more than enough firepower.

Well, since the titular C-in-C was busy watching on TV and cheering on his Proud Boys, I think we can countenance this minor irregularity.

I remember watching as this unfolded on January 6 and boy did I have me a chuckle. I just watched and watched these mischievous scamps as they roamed the halls of the Capitol. I tut tutted a bit at them breaking the windows but then I realized all that patriotism was making them a bit rowdy as it is wont to do. The gallows and calling to hang Pence was just a knee slapper. I can't believe that people want to hold these fine upstanding patriots accountable for their hijinks! /S

These people and the twisting of themselves in knots to justify any of this are just disgusting.

I think it showed remarkable restraint that D'Souza never used the phrase, "Boys will be boys". Of course no one was raped, so maybe not that much restraint on his part. Oh, maybe he noticed that a lot of the insurrectionists were women!

Perfectly said, Stephen.

Not disagreeing, but I liked both moves. Naturally I would have liked to keep Mook, but he would have cost nine hundred bazillion dollars. And I like the look of the guys we got back. I guess we'll see!

We have to keep repeating this because Republicans would prefer we forget.

They are trying their darndest to revise this recent bit of history.

Kinda like making the civil war being over "states rights" rather than the true motive, slavery.
