Is anyone surprised that Lindsey Halligan is the same woman incharge of the James Comey debacle?

She sounds wildly unqualified every time she speaks.

Oh they don’t like the whistles? Hey everyone, they don’t like the whistles. If you use them it makes the armed goons sad.
Kristi Noem is mad that protesters are blowing whistles at ICE agents.

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

a big runoff last night, in New Orleans:

Calvin Duncan was exonerated after spending *28 years* in prison; he tried to get his own case records from the New Orleans city clerk—but the office dragged its feet.

So Duncan ran to become city clerk himself, and yesterday ousted the incumbent.

Duncan, a political newcomer and former prisoner, defeated incumbent Darren Lombard by a wide margin in Saturday's runoff.

Two ingredient sugared cranberries aka cranberry crack. If sweet/sour is your thing, you won’t be able to stop eating these. You can add flavor to the simple syrup (like orange) if you’re feeling fancy

Collect all the bits of cheese, get some garlic and some wine (or a little bullion/broth/cider) and chuck it all in the food processor. Once it looks spreadable & homogeneous, you can pack it into ramekins or a crock and serve with crackers and other savory bits. food52.com/story/18513-...
