There were records, of course.
No man eludes them entirely.
But his name was so common and his face so average. He was Everyman. He was no one. And for ten minutes, the man fired 3k bullets on the faux daylight of the Vegas night.
RIP Maryanne Trump, who famously said of her brother: “All he wants to do is appeal to his base. He has no principles. None. None. .. His goddamned tweet and lying, oh my God. I’m talking too freely, but you know. The change of stories. The lack of preparation. The lying. Holy

is a good day to reflect on Donald's 4 year record re people south of the border, and to ask what is up with the stockpile of Sudafed in the open drawer behind him in this picture?

Can you do something about that?
Dems are getting ready to introduce a budget resolution next week, the first step in passing a massive Covid relief bill with only Dem votes — angering the GOP lawmakers who’ve been meeting with Dems and W.H. officials to hammer out a bipartisan deal
Scientists in Sweden have created a liquid that can absorb solar energy and store it as a thermal fuel for as long as 18 years. The fluid works like a rechargeable battery, but instead of electricity, sunlight goes in and heat comes out when it's needed.

One of the more grotesque legacies left by "the last guy" in the White House is that this man, who publicly demonstrated his absence of judicial temperament, is on the nation's Supreme Court. For life.

BREAKING: Two huge stories today related to the pandemic.
First, as I wrote in my book, contrary to anti-vaxxer scaremongering about mRNA, the platform is a medical landmark. Now it appears it is likely to be used to cure some cancers in the next decade.
Hauling Michael Cohen back to a covid infested prison to keep him from publishing a book about Donald is the most Soviet/ Chinese/ tinpot-dictator thing Donald's enablers done yet. The details are chilling.
Know the networks ... Catholic extremism is real and powerful.

The Big Lie 3 musketeers so far: Sydney Powell pleads guilty, Rudy broke and suspended from law, Jenna Ellis turning on "malignant narcissist" Donald.
Looking forward to Powell's apology letter, but even more to her truthful testimony at trial.
Powell will get 6 years probation, a $6,000 fine, $2,700 restitution to the state of Georgia, writing an apology letter to the citizens of Georgia and to testify truthfully at trial
Here in rural America, we are seeing pickup trucks with American flags and motorcycles roaring around in formation with Trump signs and confederate flags.

For those who lost their job through no fault of their own
For food, rent, utilities
For small businesses
For the vaccine

Enabled by FOX advertisers, a caricature of frat-boy privilege in khakis and navy blazer, adept at twisting his baby face into shared outrage, almost never called to account for anything, Tucker evolved from DKE in a bowtie to MC of Freakshow Politics.
One of the things I came to understand while writing my book is how we belong to the most vaccine-spoiled generations in human history, and that's maybe one reason so many of us think we don't need them.
I wrote about this for the
@nytimes
today.
Foreign entities paid Trump more than $7 million while he was in office. And that's only what they found before House GOP shut down the investigation to focus on Hunter Biden.
Second, huge document dump of Congressional interviews with CDC officials confirms the worst about how Trump administration officials politicized the federal Covid response.
My Rush Limbaugh story: He once read out of context sentences from an essay I wrote on my ambivalence about our son's school reciting the pledge daily during the Iraq war. His fans swarmed me by email, threatened to burn my house and adopt out my son.
This trial is about a foundational pillar of Trump’s life, the transactional relationship. What can you do for me? is arguably the only form of human connection he has ever engaged in. And: What’s your price?
He has no other means of interacting with human beings.
All Trump's relationships with women are transactional. He counted on their silence in exchange for access to power, money, modeling contracts, attention, fame. Today is such a gut punch. Here's the statement of
#felonycounts
facts.
They lie about him every hour to millions of Americans. Do the Democrats have a plan for Biden's other opponent?

The Great Forgetting Part 2. Who will investigate and bring to account the crony profiteering and cynical political calculations that led to hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths?
The day before Trump howled that immigrants are “poisoning the blood of our country," Melania was deployed to the National Archives to speak at a ceremony welcoming new citizens. Cognitive dissonance is one of the hallmarks of the post-modern autocracy. Plus: Epstein news.
The more I think about Ken Paxton, roaming free with a years old fraud indictment, still ordering women and doctors around, the more I understand that it's really the country's legal system that's broken.
That came before the broken politics.
Even after Kate Cox's doctor was authorized by a court to perform her abortion, the Texas attorney general Ken Paxton is publicly warning that doctor could still face major civil and criminal penalties. We'll speak with Kate Cox's attorney tonight at 9:00.
And Megan Powers, listed on the permit for the Jan 6 insurrection rally as an operations manager was listed as a Trump campaign operations manager in January 2021. Here she is as a NASA press secretary in 2018.
Christian nationalists are caricatured as hayseeds who frolic in Biblical theme parks where dinosaurs co-exist with humans. But the intellectual underpinning to the enterprise, the one that guides hierophant Alito, is Catholic integralism.

Wednesday night reminder: Five of the 9 sitting Supreme Court Justices were shepherded to their posts by a Knight of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta whose power has been amplified orders of magnitude thanks to dark money billionaires.
The way Koch--ites have used clown prince Trump to advance their pro-corporate agenda and crush the little guy is one of the greatest con jobs in the history American politics.
And destroying the CDC during a pandemic is the greatest scandal.

This post is an example of why timestamps matter on the videos, this one is being used to say "police excorted them in" This is 3:00 PM 2 hours after the riot started. The man leading this group in hallway fought his way in at 2:39:52 PM after spraying officers with a chemical
Maryanne Trump was one of a few women in Trump's inner circle who spoke the truth about her brother, for more on her, read my book The Trump Women: Part of the Deal - a provocative and “comprehensive exposé” (Kirkus) of Trump's relationships with the women closest to him.
Since being outed, they all locked down their social media and deleted their rally tweets. They should move their resumes to Linked-in Baku immediately
Today is the birthday of the 19th Amendment, the culmination of a half century struggle by American women to get the right to vote.
Freaks and weirdos like Vance, Peter Thiel and this "Christian" would like to see it repealed.
The reason why Christian nationalist pastor Joel Webbon has "grown to despise democracy" is because it allows women to vote: "I think the 19th Amendment should be repealed. I think that because, first and foremost, I'm a Christian. That is the Christian position."

People are asking me why I wrote this book about something that JUST happened. Isn't it enough that we got on the other side of it?
My answer in a thread:
Peggy Noonan, Reagan speechwriter who hatched the groundwork for the vulture capitalist takeover of America that gave us the despair that spawned Trump -- now excoriates his deplorable base, all without using the word racist.
If you don't trust Trump with purloined classified documents, would you trust his PAC scanning and putting them on thumb drive? Incredible that this is just a footnote to the case.
MORE: A witness connected to Trump’s Save America PAC scanned and stored documents from the box containing those materials on a laptop provided by the PAC, per Howell’s opinion.
A Russian government-controlled bank deposited at least half a billion dollars into the American subsidiary of Deutsche Bank around the time that the bank lent Trump his most scrutinized loans, according to exclusively obtained confidential bank records.

Fascinating but not surprising that FBI would be interested. As I wrote in my book, Ivana is the most overlooked character in the Trump-Russia theory: collectivist educated, spoke fluent Russian and habited Don to the Slavic world.
