How dumb are these people?

Truly.

This coming on the heels of the magistrate judge in Comey’s case skewering Halligan & the FBI for illegal and improper handling of the investigation and indictment.
BREAKING: Prosecutors in the Comey case just told the judge that they’re under orders from the Deputy Attorney Generals’s office not to disclose whether career prosecutors wrote a memo recommending *against* indicting Comey prior to Halligan going to the grand jury.

This is Roche Ronde in Jasper Park. I climbed up the side of Hwy 16 by the old Fitzhugh Lime mine in the evening. The Aspen trees were too dense for a sweeping landscape shot across the river but I managed this on the way down.

Down to the North Saskatchewan River on an October morning looking for fog. Instead the sunshine highlighted the Birch and Aspen trees in the valley.

Today is Veterans Day, a day that Trump and Republicans pretend to care about those who served their country.

Unless it's a PR opportunity, troops, veterans, and those who made the ultimate sacrifice, never cross their mind.

Help keep Bluesky nice. Block MAGA trolls, like this one here. They don't like it, because it keeps them from spreading their hatred.
