A lot of things happened. Here are some of the things. This is TPM’s Morning Memo.
Peggy Nienaber, an executive director at evangelical organization Liberty Counsel, was caught on a hot mic claiming that some justices “will pray with us, those that like us to pray with them,” and that “we’re the only people who do that.”
If we can’t beat these, we deserve to lose

U.S. Congresswoman Debbie Lesko (R-AZ) in a speech denouncing a House bill on gun safety, appears to inadvertently have declared that to protect her five grandchildren, she would “do anything,” even shoot them.
“I rise in opposition to H.R. 2377,” Congresswoman Lesko says in the video. “I have five grandchildren. I would do anything, anything to protect my five grandchildren, including as a last resort shooting them if I had to, to protect the lives of my grandchildren.”
NCRM has verified the video is accurate. Congresswoman Lesko made the remarks on June 9, according to C-SPAN, while she was opposing a red flag law.

She would like America to know she loves her grandchildren so much she would shoot them if necessary. 😳

Dang. Second.
BoJo is to Maggie Thatcher as TFG is to Ronald Reagan.
Or how conservative politics can lead you on a straight line to hell.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;
Enough said.

The master was a fat, healthy man; but he turned very pale. He gazed in stupified astonishment on the small rebel for some seconds, and then clung for support to the copper. The assistants were paralysed with wonder; the boys with fear.
‘What!’ said the master at length, in a faint voice.
‘Please, sir,’ replied Oliver, ‘I want some more.’
The master aimed a blow at Oliver’s head with the ladle; pinioned him in his arm; and shrieked aloud for the beadle.
The board were sitting in solemn conclave, when Mr Bumble rushed into the room in great excitement, and addressing the gentleman in the high chair, said,
‘Mr Limbkins, I beg your pardon, sir! Oliver Twist has asked for more!’
There was a general start. Horror was depicted on every countenance.
‘For MORE!’ said Mr Limbkins. ‘Compose yourself, Bumble, and answer me distinctly. Do I understand that he asked for more, after he had eaten the supper allotted by the dietary?’
‘He did, sir,’ replied Bumble.
‘That boy will be hung,’ said the gentleman in the white waistcoat. ‘I know that boy will be hung.’

I’d be amazed if they hadn’t.
I was watching the BBC America last night and Boris so defiantly proclaimed that he would not go, because, because he had a mandate from 2019. Isn’t 2 years plus an eon ago in the modern political landscape?
But I’m sure he’s contrite about all that stuff he did that he shouldn’t do from March 2020 to March 2022. Or that Brexit is going swimmingly, with all the broken promised lining the beaches.

McConnell: Gosh ‘These Troubled Young Men’ Are Getting Guns | Crooks and Liars
Yup, the Senate Minority Leader and chief obstructionist in the entire US government, Mitch McConnell, wishes someone would figure out a way to keep ‘these troubled young men’ from getting guns.
Very difficult to process this as it most certainly violates long standing sensibilities- one might be inclined to be accepting of justices engaging in thoughtful meditation and prayer for wisdom, insight, consideration and objectivity
but there is little chance that that was the case …more likely it was open advocacy, pre-battle pep-talking, a zealotry booster shot.

Well, once they run out of money it’ll be Cake or Death.
Imagine you decided it was necessary to ban hammers. Lots of people were getting killed with hammers. Sure, go ahead and do it. Um, but there are already 500 million hammers in the possession of the populace. And people will freely buy, sell and trade them if approached for one, since you can’t get them in a store anymore.
That’s where we are with assault weapons. There are tens of millions of them in private hands. Sure, go ahead and ban them. The ones already out there will wear out in oh, a few hundred years. People will argue otherwise, but it’s too late. We’re effed regarding guns.
You mean something like this?
