Trump pardoning his election thugs WHILE Bondi already controls the Justice Department is so staggeringly pointless, empty performance in a ruined hall.
Because the hall with people in it is full of those who can charge with state crimes. And those who are watching to see those.

This takes a common ‘not knowing with whom you speak’ social media failure to a truly splendid level. This has become very amusing.
this was the most hilariously bad defense of Elon I saw in her responses

There are analysts I'm waiting to hear from on Senate Dems (including extension timeline, ending Jan 31) BUT it feels that if Schumer was sincere in voting no he lost too much of his caucus to stay Leader. And if he quietly shaped this with retiring or safe-for-years Dems, he's betraying Dem voters.

I suspect most sane people feel or are at least aware of this conflict. But, downthread, the point about waiting to at least see what the courts do with SNAP, then assessing, is basic political sense. Which Senate Dems seem to have lost like their phones and car keys.

Oh, look, the NYT gets it right! I need more coffee.
Breaking News: President Trump pardoned Rudy Giuliani and others who tried to overturn the 2020 election. The move doesn’t shield them from state charges.
Trump Pardons Giuliani and Others Involved in Effort to Overturn 2020 Election
The pardons of former Trump aides, which would only apply in federal court, are largely symbolic and cannot shield them from ongoing state-level prosecutions.

In the wake of the two baseball gambling indictments just announced, the ubiquity of sports betting ads on tv today seems even more odious than usual.

Thread. There are so many such stories, but each one carries ripples of damage and sorrow. Remembrance Day is Tuesday. 11th hour of 11th day of 11th month.
This is my grandfather, Brigadier G. B. Vaughan-Hughes MC in 1919, aged 22/23, ‘somewhere in France,’ on Joey, his army mount. He bought Joey off the army and let him live a long and happy life in Wales. ‘Tommy,’ as grandpa was called, had entered the war early in 1915 as an 18-year-old 2nd Lt …1/

Its not good enough to delete our existences at home. Our existence has to be deleted overseas too.
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

A heads-up, as it were. There seems to be white stuff falling from the sky in Toronto.

Are you more inclined to say ‘The new George Clooney film’ or ‘The new Coen Brothers film’? (Just examples, not specific to them.)
ie do you think about who directed (and sometimes wrote) the film/show, or who stars in it?
(Came up in discussing the new Vince Gilligan — for me! — series.)

These are the tragedies that put sport in context.
Dodgers reliever Alex Vesia and his wife Kayla announced that their newborn daughter, Sterling Sol, died on October 26th.
Please continue to keep this family in your thoughts. 💔

If Trump doesn’t hear anything, and Johnson doesn’t hear anything, and any elected GOP in DC interviewed on air didn’t hear anything, does the tree still fall in the forest?
Trump gets confronted by the FACT that the Walmart dinner he keeps citing to prove prices are down is only because his comparison contained FEWER items, of less quantity, & more inexpensive brands. He calls the reporter “fake news” and refuses to call on her again. bsky.app/profile/acyn...
Reporter: On the Walmart thanksgiving meal, it is cheaper but it also contains less
Trump: I haven’t heard that. Who are you with?
Reporter: NBC

Listen, we can ENJOY the infighting and/or good things a terrible person says.
But that bitch said, with her whole damn chest, that JEWISH SPACE LASERS caused the fires in California.
So, no, we do not give her a pass or welcome her. We just eat our popcorn for now.

Has been my first birthday song in the morning for decades now. Dylan's own, with The Band backing him up. (Though Rhiannon Gidden/Iron & Wine do a lovely version.)
A tradition, what can I say?
