Look like 2 Republicans have taken sick

Clarence has a case of the Jeni's and Manafort has a case of Fargo... "he's fleeing the interview."

Lock em up. Cheating mother fuckers.

A must see 9:01 "Buran go home. It is better to be a deserter then fertilizer."

One Russian soldier to another Russian soldier as one tells the other he is out of
food, water, and gas in some kind of military column west of Kyiv.

The videos and radio intercepts are chilling.

Not even a fair fight. Judge Brown Jackson v Sen. Blackburn

From Wiki:

After high school, Jackson studied government at Harvard University. She performed improv comedy and took classes in drama, and led protests against a student who displayed a Confederate flag from his dorm window. Jackson graduated in 1992 with an A.B. magna cum laude, having written a senior thesis entitled "The Hand of Oppression: Plea Bargaining Processes and the Coercion of Criminal Defendants".

Jackson worked as a staff reporter and researcher for Time magazine from 1992 to 1993, then attended Harvard Law School, where she was a supervising editor of the Harvard Law Review. She graduated in 1996 with a Juris Doctor cum laude.

Marsha Wedgeworth Blackburn was born in Laurel, Mississippi, to Mary Jo (Morgan) and Hilman Wedgeworth, who worked in sales and management. She was a beauty pageant winner in high school.

Blackburn attended Mississippi State University on a 4-H scholarship, earning a Bachelor of Science degree in home
economics (fashion) in 1974. She was a member of the Chi Omega sorority.


******
But who hasn't been reporter for Time magazine after finishing their degree from Harvard before getting their J.D. from
Harvard and while being at or close to the top of their class? (see supervising editor of the Harvard Law Review)

Off-duty Virginia officer who stormed US Capitol pleads guilty, is cooperating with DOJ

(CNN)An off-duty police officer from Virginia who stormed the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, pleaded guilty Friday to one count of conspiracy, after striking a plea deal with the Justice Department and agreeing to cooperate against a police colleague who was also charged.

Jacob Fracker, a former officer for the Rocky Mount Police Department, faces a maximum sentence of five years behind bars for the felony, though it's unlikely he will receive the statutory maximum. He and his colleague -- and co-defendant -- Thomas Robertson were both fired from the police department after their involvement in the riot became public.

Robertson is scheduled to go to trial later this year. He has pleaded not guilty to the four counts against him, including obstruction of an official proceeding, a felony.

The development of Fracker's cooperation against his onetime colleague and friend is a big victory for prosecutors, who have previously described Robertson as a dangerous criminal who is interested in fomenting political violence.



Officers Jacob & Thomas breaking the law on 1/6/21. Officer Jacob has now rolled on Officer Thomas.

ATTN The following GOP Senators should not be allowed to say jack about Biden, Putin, or Ukraine.

to Vlad Putin. Only Romney voted to hold Trump accountable.

Trans news. 4 days ago I ate at a local little place that has a good lunch deal. $12.00 for a ...

.... a really good chopped salad and a small wood fired pizza and sitting next to me
was a table of 4 women one of whom I am pretty sure was a trans person and do
you know what happened? NOTHING.

But be aware that trans people are going to be one of the GOP's issues this fall. A friend of mine
for many years has gotten sucked down into the right wing disinformation sites and he sent me a
link* to a story that liberal doctors, nurses, and mental health workers are talking young people into
sex change operations they really don't need as part of their "woke culture" or "cancel culture." I
forget which one it was.


* This "study" was from Hillsdale College in Michigan.
