I really, really hope Hunter's holding up ok. He's got an entire political machine trying to push him back into active addiction. I just remember how good a motivator spite can be.

Get Trump on the gun crime. Rule of law and all that.

Is there one shred of evidence that the Trump campaign statement contains even a smidgen of truth?

"Never again will a Biden sell government access for personal profit"

>note they're not saying "the president", they're saying "a Biden". Everybody knows if Trump wins, all sorts of Trumps will be selling government access for personal profit. It just won't be the Bidens doing it.

It would have made no difference to the MAGA sense of shame or logical consequence to have said "the president." Their arguments about the deployment of SEAL Team 6 show that.

Trump's most amazing power is the fine people who will debase themselves on the regular. I'd love to say where does he find these dime store Baghdad bobs and Barbara's? But I won't, cuz I know that among America's millions are hundreds of thousands of the daffy, dumb, desperate, evil, etc. And I know from my reading of the history of the 20th century, that there are plenty of people for a whole host of reasons, who are more than happy to March their neighbors into the gas Chambers. But still, still is amazing how there are seemingly endless supply of people in Trump's orbit, who will say sure I'll grab that mic and speak absolute shit about Trump and his awful children, and I'll smile at the same time cuz I love it.

John Adams said, “Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” "Religious" in this 18th-century context means "diligent."

We need better people.

Coffins, voting machines, and sausage casings?

Ivanka’s got herself a diversified (and a little creepy) line of goods there.

"coffins, voting machines and sausage casings. " Brought to mind the scene from Doctor strange Love where the bomber Crew reviews the contents of survival kits. "A guy could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff. "

Trump's mother -- who wisely said (paraphrasing) "This asshole of a kid of mine better never get into politics" -- was born in Tong, on the Scottish isle of Lewis (on a clear day you can see Uig!). I bring this up because when considering banishment Trump often refers to "Elbow" and the "Boner part" when it would Be Best to send him home to Tong.

He's not actually allowed in Scotland right now though, on account of the whole "rhymes with shmelon" thing.

Of course, the Outer Hebrides is the kind of place that people from Orkney look down on as a "real backwater." I'm sure they don't need Trump turning up there to stink the place up even worse.

Being a felon unlawfully in possession of a firearm would revoke anyone else's probation and you'd go straight to jail.

A Kansas pastor checked out a library's LGBTQ books so no one could read them

A Kansas pastor’s plan to disrupt a library’s celebration of Pride month by having his congregation check out all the LGBTQ-themed books has, predictably, backfired. But in his first interview since this story made the news, he told me he stood by his actions.

Earlier this month, Pastor Kyle Lammott of Wichita’s Exodus Church revealed his plan on his (now private) Instagram, showing a collection of LGBTQ books checked out from the Andover Public Library. Given the limit of books one person can check out, this appeared to be the work of at least a few people from his congregation.

It’s Pride Month, a good time to recalibrate what it means to love your neighbor. One way you can love your neighbors and your community is to gather together some of the men in your church and go empty the local library of all their LGBTQ+ books. Start with the kids’ books and work your way up. This really is a great way to love your neighbors and serve your community.

OT: The very first moment I heard Eugene Daniels, some years back, I thought - Oh, ffs, MSNBC has hired their own Gloria Borger, who is CNN’s love child of Rona Barrett & Hedda Hopper (Google it, youngsters). With the few remaining true investigative reporters left out there (Fahrenthold, Farrow, Johnston, Craig, Wheeler & the whole staff of ProPublica, e.g.), what MSM doesn’t need is another ‘journalist’ who dishes the latest hot scoop he just heard from his Uber driver…and now he’s the head of the WH Press Corps, an org recently known for choosing the least among them to lead the pack. (Remember when their past Pres hosted a farewell party for Sarah Huckabilly?)

We need more Rachel Maddow & less Entertainment Tonight these days, imho.

Seriously, let's get investigations into Runn'n Josh Hawley, Marjorie Traitor Greene, Gym Jordan, etc., all no doubt gun owners and all doing some kind of snorty, smoky stuff. Josh can testify to his colleagues who were snorting off of keys. Since the ALL support the 2nd Amendment, this would be like shooting fish in a wading pool. #VoteBlue

Get paid $13/hour and someone waves a few $K$ in front of you?

The scheduling manager wants you to leave a door unlatched in exchange for implying that they won't drop a dime with INS?

Sure thing, boss.
