I always tell Europeans that the U.S. is the best at everything. We are the best at being awesome.

On the bright side, we can bring unemployment down to zero by staffing it.

New rule for interviewees: You can say the name of your interviewer a maximum of three times.
SEN. KELLY : “They informed me of this in a tweet because this is not about the law. This is about the media cycle, and intimidation… We basically repeated the uniform code of military justice, and they're saying that's in violation of it. It's absurd. Comical.”

So, my workout videos this week were the 2012 Amazing Spiderman movies with Andrew Garfield which I'd never seen and Spiderman was my favorite superhero as a kid and minutes ago I finished the second movie in which his girlfriend, Gwen (Emma Stone), DIES and I'm going to need a moment.

Seems to me if the House can vote 427-1 and the Senate can vote 99-0 on the release of the Epstein files when Shit For Brains threatened them not to, then they can also impeach *and convict* him, and bring this stage of our national nightmare to an abrupt end.
When a President calls for the death of lawmakers protecting the oath military members take to the Constitution (NOT the President), you are watching a full-blown Constitutional Crisis. This is the ultimate test of our democracy. We cannot look away.

He's threatening death to Dem lawmakers now.
The massive protest in D.C. on Saturday needs to call for impeachment & conviction. Before this week, I would have said not to waste your time calling for this. But the response by Congress to massive public pressure makes me wonder.
All hands on deck!

As our attention is on the (underage) victims of rape & sex trafficking, my mind is also on the victims and survivors of decades of identical horrors (including murder) in *government and church* run boarding and residential schools.
Never forget them.

Had a great time at Rain Taxi, the great Minnesota Book Fair! What a wonderful collection of creative, thoughtful, and fun people. If you haven't gone to a book fair, I highly recommend it - especially with Christmas around the corner!

Now get the goon who assaulted two protesters with pepper spray.
An ICE employee was among 16 men arrested after trying to solicit a minor for sex in Bloomington, Minnesota, police say
"When he was arrested, he said, 'I'm ICE, boys,'" Bloomington Police Chief Booker Hodges said during a press conference. "Well, unfortunately for him, we locked him up."

The Winnipeg Police Chief shared words of healing at Louis Riel's ceremony. I thanked him afterwards, mentioned I was a 1st-Responder. He gave me a Promise Coin, often given 2 military/service groups as marks of distinction, honor & team spirit.
It will join other objects of importance on my desk.
