A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

The republican caucus is already covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

Take your GOP plan out of the witness protection program.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

You cannot shame the shameless.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

    Oh dawg.  It’s a specialized military term, now to be applied to the ammosexuals, keyboard/whiteboard commandos, and budding insurrectionists who slobber over this stuff.

    If I were West Point, I would demand that Pompeo return the diploma.  First in his class, and he is among the worst of them.

    pipe hitter (noun) a term used in the US military community to describe special operations personnel in the US military, such as the Delta Force, SEALS, the 75th Ranger Regiment, and Special Forces. Pipe hitters are units of some of the most highly respected, well-trained, and qualified operators.

    This mainly reminds me that we all have a lot of work to do, ferreting out the far right wingers burrowed into the military and law enforcement.  I say “we”, because we need to keep on the pressure to make it happen.

    I suspect there’s already a lot of interest in that subject, among those investigating January 6th.  (Incidentally, Dana Rohrabacher just admitted he was there protesting too.)

    Germany is probably ahead of us in reviewing its military and police structures.  Since they took the Nazi era seriously, whereas we have a lot of conservadumbs who don’t even want to teach honestly about slavery, the Civil War, Reconstruction, etc. They’re having a public fit about it.

    From June 10th NY Times:
    Elite German Police Unit Disbanded Over Far-Right Group Chat

    The move against the unit in Frankfurt is the latest by German authorities to clamp down on a rise in far-right networks in several state security units and in the military.

    BERLIN — The German authorities disbanded an elite state police unit and suspended 18 of its active members after they were found to have been involved in a chat group that exchanged racist messages and glorified the Nazis, the interior minister of Hesse said on Thursday.

    The move against the unit — roughly analogous to a S.W.A.T. team in the United States — in Frankfurt is the latest by German authorities to clamp down on a rise in far-right networks in several state security units and in the military. Police officers in several states have been fired or reprimanded for their participation in such chat groups, where content like swastikas, Hitler images and anti-foreigner postings are shared over social media.

    In the central state of Hesse alone, the latest revelations bring the number of police officers who have been or are under investigation for far-right sympathies to nearly 100. Günter Rudolph, a Social Democratic state lawmaker, described the Frankfurt case as offering “staggering evidence of a profound problem in Hesse’s police force.”

    … In the most significant development of the country’s efforts to stamp out extremism in law enforcement and the military, the defense ministry was forced last year to disband a full fighting company of the country’s most elite special forces unit, known by its German initials, K.S.K., because of right-wing infiltration.

    The authorities took the dramatic move after the authorities conducted a wide-ranging investigation into far-right structures within the unit and just six weeks after authorities dug up an illegal weapons cache in the backyard of one of the company’s soldiers.

    The chat room was most active in 2016 and 2017, according to officials, and it was found by coincidence when the mobile devices of a member of the unit were analyzed for child pornography in an unconnected case.

    No, except in a casual and inaccurate sense. I expect the family connection is that Judge Jackson’s BIL (her husband’s twin) is married to Ryan’s sister.

    “Oh, yes. We are not what you call first cousins,” she explained as Richard came back. “The sister of my father’s father married his mother’s father.”

    SAD!: DONALD TRUMP MIGHT HAVE TO SELF-PUBLISH HIS PRESIDENTIAL MEMOIR

    The former president claims he’s turning down publishers for his new book left and right. But sources at all Big Five houses say they wouldn’t touch the project with a 117-foot pole. 

    Donald Trump is writing a book. And, as with all things Donald Trump does, he is already marketing it with a combination of hyperbole and outright lies. Although the former president has boasted that rights to a memoir about his political career—the “book of all books”—are being fought over by major publishers, and that he has already turned down “very substantial offers” from “two of the biggest and most prestigious publishing houses,” reporters have uncovered zero evidence to substantiate his claims. According to Politico, none of the editors and publishers contacted at the Big Five publishing houses—Penguin Random House, Hachette Book Group, HarperCollins, Macmillan Publishers, and Simon & Schuster—said they were aware of any such offer. One source was openly “skeptical” of his claims. “He’s screwed over so many publishers that before he ran for president, none of the big 5 would work with [him] anymore,” the source told Politico.

    Among other issues, publishing houses are concerned their staff might protest, or walk out the door.  Also, fact-checking would be a nightmare.

    Love how Vanity Fair continued with the digs:

    Other ex-administration members are also reportedly cashing in with major publishing deals, including former attorney general William Barr, former first son-in-law Jared Kushner, and former press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders. But 45 himself may simply be too radioactive. The former president’s predicament is unusual to say the least, given there was a bidding war over books by his predecessors, Barack and Michelle Obama, shortly after they left office—a package deal that reportedly went for a record $65 million. The fate of Trump’s memoir aside, there will be no shortage of accounts about his unprecedented tenure; the coming deluge includes titles from the New York Timesreporters Maggie Haberman and Jeremy Peters, the Wall Street Journal’s Michael Bender, and Washington Post journalists Philip Rucker and Carol Leonnig, all of whom were said to have Trump interviews lined up.

    Meanwhile, in New Hampshire, a kind of trifecta has been awarded:

    A man who was charged after bragging that he had guzzled wine during the Capitol riot is now running for office — but appears to have accidentally joined the wrong race.

    Jason Riddle of New Hampshire was arrested in February after he told NBC10 Boston that he joined rioters on January 6 as they stormed the Capitol. He is accused of illegally entering a restricted building, theft of government property, and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds, according to a criminal complaint.

    He has now decided to enter politics and run for state representative, he said Sunday, with the intention of unseating the Democrat Ann Kuster in the 2022 midterms, the channel reported.

    Kuster, however, is not a state representative but rather a member of the US Congress.

    “I thought Ann was a state representative?” he said, when the reporter Katherine Underwood corrected him.
    “No,” Underwood said. “So, a state representative is in the State House in Concord.”
    “Yeah, that’s what Ann is,” Riddle said.

    When Underwood informed him that Kuster actually worked out of Washington, DC, Riddle said: “Well, I guess I’ve got to run against that then.”

    But Riddle is barred from entering Washington while his case is pending, the network reported.

    He also talked to the network about what running a political campaign was like while going through the court case.

    He said he thought the notoriety from the court proceedings could only help him politically, saying: “In the long run, if you’re running for office, I guess attention is good — attention I think will help me.”
