Better a senator dealing with depression than a quack doctor who doubts the efficacy of vaccines and pushes quack remedies.
Senator Eagleton from Missouri served honorably for several terms after having to deal with depression. When he was selected for the VP ticket in 72 he was unfortunately tossed off the the ticket for being treated for it including electroshock therapy. In that era people were not as giving about these issues plus the treatments weren’t as advanced. The Nixon folks, MAGA of that era Stone, Rove etc. mocked him as “jumper cables”.

I imagine they were also getting heat from the Admin, etc, to turn the propaganda up to 11 or else they’d be moving their business elsewhere.

The NYT article mentions a Thursday defense filing, but doesn’t link to the document:
In its defense, which was also filed with the court on Thursday, Fox argued that by covering Mr. Trump’s fraud claims, the network was doing what any media organization would: reporting and commenting on a matter of undeniable newsworthiness. And it noted that many of its programs did not endorse the claim that the election was stolen. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/16/business/media/fox-dominion-lawsuit.html

Come on. Consider the altitude, the speed, the precision of the equipment, the intangible nature of the object.

I’m not sure that talking with Matt Gaetz counts as “firsthand experience.” Second-hand, most definitely.

I thought it was pyramids for storing food. Maybe she watched an old Ben Carson rerun.

Had the same thought. He seems a bit obsessed with human trafficking.

I’m flying back to WI tomorrow afternoon - I may concentrate on looking out my window to see if I can spot any balloons.
There just seem to suddenly be a whole bunch of them of indeterminate origin.

Re Fetterman: I didn’t see it, but my wife told me this morning that Ted Cruz tweeted out support to him. Cruz, of course, remains a despicable human being, but I was glad to hear this.

Could probably take out the balloon just by flying overhead and ejecting flares. Cheaper than a missile, too.

It now occurs to me that maybe this claim is a nod in the direction of the “Pizzagate” folks (out of which QAnon grew), his way of saying, “I see you.”

One of my jobs in high school was working at an army surplus store. One night, just after i closed, i went into the back storage room and filled a 6’ weather balloon with water, and just left it there. Too bad for me the guy who was supposed to open the next day called in sick, meaning that the owner of the place ended up opening the store. Of course, he had no idea the weather balloon would be there, so he came in, fumbled through the back room in the dark to turn on the lights, and tripped on the balloon, breaking it, and gushing water all over the place. When i came in after school, he talked to me about it, and let it be known that he was not happy, but oddly enough, he didn’t fire me. I did catch him chuckle to himself, though as he left the store.
