The Committee is a sham wrapped in a booby prize inside a bad joke encased by effluvia. Their plan is to announce they have all the testimony they need and issue a milquetoast report. For some reason they think they gotta protect the institution against bad publicity, but not against physical assault.
In my opinion, which is that of a rather poor mathematician, the traditional evolutionary pressures (competition for territory, food, mates, etc) no longer exist except for the primitives, who are in the vast minority and losing ground rapidly. I think we achieved this general somatic form somewhere around 50,000 years ago, which, as you say is a blink of the eye in evolutionary terms. There are food availability issues in much of the developed world, and it's about to get worse, but we're not all chasing down the same gazelle.
This is not to say that there have been no changes in our genome. About 10,000 years ago a freak mutation induced blue eyes in Northern Europeans, which has turned out to be a trait sufficiently desirable that it has been highly selected for. We don't know when the gene for color-blindness in Northern European males was introduced, but it was first identified in the late 1700s, so it must have been relatively recently.
The color-blindness gene produces a significant disadvantage for a hunter-gatherer. For modern man, it's an annoyance. I have it in a mild form.
In response, cultural evolution has ratcheted up significantly. We no longer need to adapt physically, we have machines for that. Now we adapt intellectually and socially.
One thing I say can be done, just charge a new crime every couple a months. No reason to only take one swing at the piñata. Also there’s no question about Bannon testifying, as there’s nothing in criminal contempt that compels testimony.
Because he won't act against anyone but peons, when the MAGATs succeed in overthrowing the government and are lynching Garland for having been part of the Biden administration..
“And I don’t think that can be ignored by the Justice Department.”
Adam, darling, pay attention. Of course it can. A full year and a quarter after the insurrection, Garland's DOJ hasn't done squat about it.
Today Garland announced that DOJ is charging against Russian oligarch Konstantin Malofeyev for violating sanctions against Russia which were instituted, uh, considerably less than a year and a quarter ago. I.e., Garland can move quickly when he wants to, even on the murky world of international finance. But on the treasonous insurrection we all witnessed on television? The crickets are almost deafening.
Are you just one of those people who wants to complain about the problem without solving it even when you’ve been given the information you need to solve it and that information has been given to you multiple times?
Do you just want to *look* like you’re trying to solve the problem without actually *taking any action to solve it*?
Because we’ve got plenty of that kind of attitude in White Democratic leadership already, but it takes a real irony-free kind of person to complain about the lack of action those people are taking and at the same time not even be willing to discuss what is necessary to solve the problem while being directly handed the information necessary to solve it.
It's pretty much impossible that he didn't know, even the Seattle Times op-ed page knew. I'm of the opinion that Garland was put in place to **prevent** accountability.
If Princess Goya did throw her bloated father in front of the bus, wouldn't it just disappear up his ample ass?
If Trump were a ham sandwich, would Garland indict him? What about bologna? PB&J? Chopped liver? BLT? Sorry. It's lunch time here in California.
The RNC is picking up all his legal bills so he will get paid. His lawyers not so much.
But really, how much of that empire is left? Seems like she'd be lucky at this point to end up with a studio apartment in a Fresno suburb.

Mueller, Fitzgerald. For many people, it's absolutely vital that our systems and institutions be shown to be working.
It takes 2/3 of the Senate to remove Biden, which is never going to happen.

Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote an opinion about the evidence that pointed to that conclusion long before that.
Just because she's receiving racist abuse from Republicans, let's not forget what she's ALREADY done (that moves the WHOLE of democracy forward).

Maybe get a new mirror?

Merrick Garland tests positive for Covid-19.
Quick get a replacement for him. One with a spine.
