Today is going to be a series of absolute WTF moments writ large.

Keep your heads up.
There are locally owned stores on tight margins that might not survive if holiday sales don't happen.

By all means, use your dollar to shout, but let's try and keep the local, businesses alive. Big box stores and giant franchises have deep pockets. Your local bookstore might not.
I wonder if it's because they're not beholden to the same figures the party leaders have sold out to?

The party at large can't decide because the money hasn't told them what to think yet.

I'm cynical as hell.
More like stumbling through. We'll need to majorly reinforce those barriers.

New developments in my 3 year Epstein investigation, this time regarding JP Morgan Chase and its CEO, Jamie Dimon. This is a long thread, but worth sticking around for.
No kidding. Even the paltry "go find the PAO" training we got as lower enlisted seems better than whatever Halligan was trying to do. Sweet Jesus.

Feels like we could get rid of it with the right cleaner and some elbow grease.
Halligan came to a battle of wits unarmed.
EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

Proving all the protesters correct the day after we told him we don't need a king is a choice.

We're probably at "madness of King George" level now. I hope we don't get to "Caligula".
I think you're right.

7 million people told him we don't want a king and this is the thing he does the next day. Everything is provocation.
If Donald Trump shows this level of casual disregard for one of the most central and enduring objects of American history and identity, he absolutely does not give the slightest fuck about anything at all.

Frogs in slowly heating water is a popular allegory for being unaware that you are being destroyed in an incrementally worsening situation.

But I'm drawing hope from the past week that we frogs may be a bit more aware of our situation than those allegorical frogs. #Hop

Judge Graber went hard and I cannot stress enough that Judge Graber *does not go hard*
Divided Ninth Circuit panel stays injunction against President Trump’s federalization of National Guard troops in Portland:

Judge Graber, who is no firebrand, wrote quite a dissent—encouraging en banc review and some patience on the part of the public:

They can try but everyone will know that they're lying because it's obvious that I'm the actual Antichrist.
The first thing that popped into my head was to have a bunch of folks declare that they're Thiel's Anti-Christ, Spartacus-style.

Do ancient commercial jingles count?

I've randomly had the 80's jingle for Wrigley's Big Red gum bouncing around for the greater part of 40 years now.
Name a Song you can Sing from Memory.
When a bully is denied the fight they want, the provocations get larger.
Every act of Trump is a provocation, and they are getting larger. He's a bully who has been denied a confrontation for too long.
America will have a visual reminder every day of what he's done. A scar to teach us. Hopefully we learn from it.

We need Zombie Lincoln right now more than ever.
This is the kind of thing that should trigger an old curse where the statues around DC come to life and smack the shit out of all these bozos.
