Now that the roomie is at work, and it's just me and the dogs.

Take a fuckin' wild guess as to what the dogs are doing right now.

Let do this like Republicans and just FEEL that AT&T is financing fascism.

Ok, who had "Democracy gets murdered by ratings war between shitty TV networks" on their bingo card?

They may be distancing themselves. And/but it will do more damage by being online, where it can be more easily shared and promoted by all the trolls and bots.

I think the hearing has wrapped up. The Judge says she will rule expeditiously. She seemed unimpressed by Trump's arguments. The documents will be given to the January 6 Committee on November 12 unless there is a stay issued.

Your post reminds me of a small breakthrough that I had with my Trumpy neighbor.

I consistently tell her, "I want the damn TRUTH, whether it's to my liking or not."

Whenever she has brought up how Trump really won the election. I tell her, "If he's going to allege that, he has to provide PROOF."

I have been (gently) hammering this idea for months. Just yesterday, we were discussing something questionable, and she said, "Well, I'd have to see some proof before I'd believe that."

Perhaps a small victory for critical thinking.

Think about if Bat Boy, Elvis , Satanic Panic and Big Foot had enjoyed the backing of a $150 million Russian troll operation aided and abetted by social media companies . . .

After Comcast/Xfinity dropped my Internet connection 7 times in one day (average was 2-3) while I was working from home I changed to T-Mobile for our Internet as well. They sent me a unit the size and shape of a coffee can that sits in the window and talks to the closest 5G tower. I think I've lost connectivity perhaps 3 times, none of them for more than 15 minutes. Now if only we could bury the power lines we wouldn't have any more wires between the utility pole and our house left.
