Sarah Josepha Hale’s “best-selling anti-slavery novel” advocated moving all Black Americans to Africa. She was anti-women’s suffrage because she thought women should leave politics to men. Her version of happy nationalism over turkey is a tradwife tale for whites only. Do your research NYTimes.

🎵Workin’ noon to five
what a way to make a livin’!
And I bleed us dry
just by takin’ and not givin’
I can lose my mind
but I’ll always take the credit
till I screw things up
and then the next day I forget it🎵

This applies to all the Senators who voted for this Cabinet of Clowns. Many are lawyers who knew damned well who they approved to run the former Department of Justice.
But hoo-whee, "Dr." Bill Cassidy looks like the biggest fool of them all going along with RFK's pinky promises.

And now another biggie where Freelance U.S. Attorney says he was instructed by the White House to STFU in court about whether a memo urging Comey's prosecution existed.

The Charles River in Boston was icky for decades till a cleanup, led by a 1996 protection bill that Gov. Bill Weld signed and then celebrated by diving fully clothed into the river. It was great.
(OK OK, Weld fell ill right after that, but still. . .)
