As I am a cynical old bat, I invite y'all to review the story of Jack Henry Abbott, darling of Norman Mailer.

With Bill Barr in the office of USAG, who’s supposed to be in charge of enforcement? Unfortunately, you’re absolutely right. You’re talking about the guy who’s also the reason why federal “law enforcement” the Wisconsin governor is telling network news he DIDN’T ASK FOR is being sent there after the WI government closed down the highways – to do their best to incite violence from the inside, which is itself a crime.He’s also the reason Donald and Jared, career and family legacy criminals, have been able to lean on the head of the CDC to the point where a sitting governor

But as I said to someone else – I have no plans to give in to that despair. I plan to fight it instead because I consider it a citizens’ responsibility to myself and others, and unless someone is struggling in the moment they blurt something like that out in the middle of a panic attack I’m probably going to question their motives for repeatedly screaming about the problem but offering no solution … given what I know about Russian bots and authoritarian wanna-bes’ tendencies to try to spread despair propaganda amongst a population they want to suppress and control, because people are much easier to suppress and control when they’re in that state.

I empathize, I have sympathy, and my heart breaks for you!

We are all so unfortunate to be forced to deal with this INSANITY on a daily basis. Actually on an hourly basis, as new insanity rears it's ugly head many, many times a day.

Hang in there and know that there are millions and millions of us who are really struggling with all this. You are certainly not alone.

I am outside the Beltway and I care because it is illegal. Precisely because these people repeatedly break the law and those who could actually do something - Republican Senators - have one thumb in their mouth and one up their ass and switching thumbs.

It is true. It's good to hear him say it but I am unaware of any contrition expressed by him.

It is very obvious now that the Constitution has some serious holes in it but by the time tRump is ousted we will know every one of them.

The "no one cares" line from supposed journalists is a self fulfilling prophecy, and lazy bullshit if you ask me. After all, no one gave a shit about Hillary's email server until ten million front page stories on the NYT convinced them that they should.
