Someone wake me when we finally hear the inside scoop from DoD.

That’s gonna be much more troublesome to people than some lawyer writing a letter.

Yeah, if they refused to have the cavalry saddle up and charge in while the Capitol was overrun I’m pretty sure that would be more damning in the Great Public Mind than some gummint dweeb we never even heard of trying to overthrow the republic.

But seriously folks, this Clark guy. Now he’s doing his bit to prevent vaccine mandates. Boll weevils look at him and say, “Dude. Do something constructive now and then, sheesh.”

You hold your hand up like that, and I’ll arrange for @tiowally to loan us part of his TrebutineTM (just the trebuchet piece), and I’ll launch a moose your way.

No doubt there will be filings with the appropriate state bar groups to take away Clark’s law license.

What he was doing exceeds even a low bar for ethical standards.

Apparently TPM has decided not to post news stories as they happen over the weekend?

“If”? Seriously?

There was never an “if”, not from the moment that Esper was fired and trump loyalists installed at the very top.

Not how I meant “if”. The public doesn’t know jack about any of that.

Yes, TPM rarely posts on weekends unless it’s yuge or there’s an editorial or something.

They used to post news on the weekends. Not a flood maybe, but some of it.

That was back in the days that Trump might launch a few nukes at blue states just for funsies.

With Sleepy Joe napping away the weekends, not worth paying the overtime and weekend differential.

TPM typically turns out the lights at 5pm on Friday and might turn them back on dimly sometime Monday morning. Five-day news week.

. Essentially a travel ban. Covid cases per 100,000, Louisiana +99. Florida +90. United Kingdom, only +40. Still really high but not nearly as high as Florida or Louisiana. Greece +25. These places, Louisiana and Florida and there are some other states in there as well, they are worse than places in which travelers are mostly bad."

Seriously they unionized a while back and there may have been an agreement not to work weekends unless there’s some blockbuster story.

Some Newsmax clown asked Jen why Joe goes to Delaware so often on the weekends. “Because that’s his home,” she said. “You like going home, don’t you? So does he.”

Remember when Newsmax was all over the story of why Trump went to his golf courses every weekend, and most weekdays?

Me neither.

A Key COVID-19 Vaccine Milestone

As of today,

there are more Americans fully vaccinated than there are Americans who are not…

There are a lot of anecdotal stories in the media about people dead or dying, expressing regret to loved ones and others they were so publicly anti-vaxx, and should have got the shot(s).

They seemed nice.
