A lot of things happened. Here are some of the things.
The Missouri Supreme Court disciplined lawyers Mark and Patricia McCloskey, the married couple who waved their guns at Black Lives Matter protesters in 2020, on Tuesday by suspending their law licenses indefinitely.
More Americans Now Say Jan. 6 Wasnât Trumpâs Fault
Itâs hard to blame them when you think that someone who so blatantly incited an insurrection is still not in jail. What these folks donât understand, that it is due to the fact that Trump is a Republican, if he were a Democrat he would have been impeached and found guilty on Jan 7, 2021.
Or at least by nowâŚ
The GOP: The Party of Felons, Grifters, and Broken Things(r).
The percentage finding tfg bears a lot of responsibility for the insurrection should climb after the televised hearings. If not itâll just be another damning indictment of our culture not really caring about its governance.
Thereâs a new excuse for the âlegitimate political discourseâ phrase being used. âSomeoneâ added it at the last minute and nobody noticed it.
But it took 5 days to come up with that whopper.
Interesting. We may have have finally found a way to shame the otherwise shameless. Letâs get right on that, and stay on it. November is heading towards us at something like 67,000 mph.
Give it a couple more months of Trump and MAGA news messaging and 73% will want Pelosi hanged.
I doubt weâre a functioning nation any longer. Weâre just a big ball of knotted grievances and hate. Itâs no longer if, but when, it all spirals out of anyoneâs ability to rein it in and control it.
All thatâs left for them now is to scream âFake Newsâ at the top of their lungs.
Although that defense would be directed strictly at their base and their base actually agrees that J6 was legitimate political discourse (and restrained discourse at that).
I can hardly wait to see their campaign rallies this fall featuring buffalo-headed patriots screaming for the heads of Pence, McConnell, Cheney, and oh yeah, all those commie libs. Maybe not a good look for the fascist cult, but accurate.
And in other news:
The old crow has a sense of humor (whoâdâve thunk it???):
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is shrugging off Donald Trumpâs campaign to oust him as the top Senate Republican, chuckling that he views âOld Crow,â the former presidentâs derisive nickname for him, as a compliment.
âItâs my favorite bourbon,â McConnell said
This should lead to a boost in ratings for the Kitten and Puppy Bowls:

Wondering if this is going to cost Liz her seat in Wyoming:
Letâs start with heâs a Democrat and beat their Golden Boy senseless:
According to that Pew poll, 67% of Americans believe Trump had some or a lot of responsibility for 1/6. It had previously been about 75%. Iâm shocked it was ever that high. Thereâs always 30-35% who believe the Easter Bunny is a communist plot to rob children of their teeth.
Rumors that it was scribbled in the margin in sharpie have not been confirmed.
So whose fault was it, or did nobody think to ask that question?
I donât think Americans are stupid. However, in the last 2 decades I have reluctantly come to the conclusion that a large portion of the population is âpolitically ignorantâ. They donât know the parties, the key players or their backgrounds, and they think that politics is just a kind of game played by professional pols that doesnât affect them directly. They donât have the knowledge or experience necessary to realize the potential effects of political decisions, and donât pay attention to politics until they are directly adversely affected.
Thus, when bad things happen, many people either simply blame whoever is in power at that time, or retreat to their tribal corners. Also, Americans are famous for their lack of historical knowledge and perspective. I think many people simply have no idea how autocracies evolve and really believe that it âcould never happen hereâŚâ.
Tell that to my brainwashed relatives who insist that it was Antifa and BLM who attacked the Capitol. Oh and they didnât wave any Trump or confederate flags either 'cause that what their Pulpit Pimp Preachers are saying!
I hope the terms of McCloskeyâs probation mean that he wonât be appearing in campaign ads fondling his AR-15 or mailing out Christmas cards of his family with its arsenal.
Not having access to those Republican stand-bys will cripple his electoral chances in the primary.

The other halfâs insane.â
