A lot of things happened. Here are some of the things.
John Hamercheck, the GOP president of the Lake County Board of Commissioners in Ohio, on Tuesday denied knowing anything about an attempt to breach the local election board’s computer system in May.
Oklahoma Republican Party chair John Bennett wrote a 1,100-word screed on Tuesday demanding that Republican National Committee chair Ronna McDaniel resign for greenlighting a “RNC Pride Coalition” with Log Cabin Republicans, aka LGBTQ+ conservatives.
- The clerk’s GOP political opponent admitted to law enforcement that he had listened in on the call but denied that Smith had threatened to kill the clerk’s dog.
Roll tape?
So the off-Broadway actor who stormed the Capital on 1/6 was playing Judas.
You can’t make this stuff up.
the US Department of Justice:
A Florida man, an affiliate of the Oath Keepers, was arrested today on charges related to the breach of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, which disrupted a joint session of the U.S. Congress that was in the process of ascertaining and counting the electoral votes related to the presidential election.
James Beeks, 49, of Orlando, is charged with obstruction of Congress, a felony, and a misdemeanor charge of unlawfully entering a restricted building or grounds. He was arrested this afternoon in Milwaukee and made his initial appearance in the Eastern District of Wisconsin. He was released pending further court proceedings.
According to court documents, Beeks joined with others to forcibly enter the Capitol on Jan. 6 and obstruct the Congressional proceeding occurring that day.
At about 2:30 p.m., a group of Oath Keeper members and affiliates marched in “stack” formation into the Capitol grounds and then up the east steps of the Capitol to the area outside of the Rotunda doors.
Beeks was part of a mob of people, including some who attacked law enforcement. At 2:38 pm., the doors were breached, and the group stormed into the Capitol. Once inside the Capitol, the group split up.
Half of them, including Beeks, tried to push their way through a line of law enforcement officers guarding a hallway that led to the Senate chamber. Law enforcement forcibly repelled their advance. Beeks and others with him regrouped in the Rotunda and then left the building at approximately 3:04 p.m.
Prior to the confrontation, Beeks joined with a group of Oath Keepers while walking from the Ellipse to the Capitol.
Unlike the camouflage-combat attire of many individuals in the group, he was wearing a Michael Jackson “BAD” world tour jacket and a black helmet, and he was carrying what appeared to be a homemade black shield.
Are you saying Beeks is an “Alfalfa Male”?
So, it’s the day before Thanksgiving and the leaders of a major political party are still lying, demented, rejects of humanity?
Kylie and Amy Kremer, the conservative activists who organized the pre-insurrection Trump rally on the White House Ellipse on Jan. 6, used burner phones to communicate with the then-president’s top goons
Someone besides @mattinpa also loved watching The Wire.
Wishful thinking. The sentences that have already been handed down say something entirely different.
Mein Pillow Guy’s tentacles reached further than I thought.
He just needs to tighten up that mustache a little bit and he would bear a passing resemblance.
Poor Eric has the law sniffing after him.
Poor, poor Eric.
Note: We won’t have a Morning Memo tomorrow or on Friday.
A lot of things happened. Here are some of the things.
I am thanking the heavens that not much will happen while they’re gone?
Folks @TPM have families, too. And needs for well-deserved holidays.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING, TPM! I, for one, am thankful you’re here on all of the other days. 
Oh NO! 
“What do you do for a living?”
“I work at My Pillow, in the IT department.”
Somewhere that conversation actually occurs. Imagine you’re the person answering the question.
Jan. 6, The Musical.
Somebody had to say it…
Same to you and all the others here!
Well, that image just put damper on my Thanksgiving Eve morning.
And above it, Melania and Little Rocket Man too.
