Well, the Times and the Post are playing this as if the Republicans were serious people asking serious questions, so there's that. The Beltway attack on Biden continues to escalate. Still no word from the Beltway press about the Eastman memo, the Koch Laws, or the impact of the Roberts Republican Court's assault on the Voting Rights Act, but by gum, they're gonna make Joe Biden pay for leaving Afghanistan without even giving it another 20 years just in case it might have worked.

I look at the headlines anymore, and I just can't. It's Joe's DOOM WEEK. Etc. They get worse every day. The story about the woman who started the fire out WEst by boiling bear urine looked more readable, although I did pass on that one, too.

The GOP closes with Tuber rambling nonsense about "we gotta go back in, we can't just give up an airbase." He's a less intelligent Boomhauer from King of the Hill.

Sally Buzbee's Washington Post, jumping to the salient detail as always, headlines excitedly that "Milley acknowledges speaking to authors of three recent books about Trump."

I almost expect one of those old Drudge "breaking" thingies with the sirens.

"These Republicans seem to think that if the president disagrees with the military people, the military people MUST RESIGN. It's just ridiculous."

They think the military should control civilian government. There is a word for when that happens.

Capt. 506th of the 101st Airborne. Think Band of Brothers. I'm a history buff so I was curious.
