Thanks, David. I wish you received more recognition, but suspect it will come. If you can’t do this any earlier, that’s fine with me! I will take your no-sweat high quality at the time of your choosing.

Attorney General Merrick Garland is scheduled to testify today in front of Rep. Jim Jordan’s Judiciary Committee.
He should just sit there and say nothing. Show Gym the same respect he gave.
ETA: Thanks for the early edition.

What an asshole!
Trump told reporters he tried a mask on but did not wear it after consulting the company chief executive. Hutchinson writes that in fact Trump “decided on a white mask”, then asked staffers what they thought.
“I slowly shook my head,” she writes. “The president pulled the mask off and asked why I thought he should not wear it.
“I pointed at the straps of the N95 I was holding. When he looked at the straps of his mask, he saw they were covered in bronzer.”
Trump’s reliance on heavy makeup is well documented.
“‘Why did no one else tell me that,” he snapped. “I’m not wearing this thing.”
“The press would criticise him for not wearing a mask,” Hutchinson writes, “not knowing that the depth of his vanity had caused him to reject masks – and then millions of his fans followed suit.”

While I agree on some level, he’s not going to stoop so low. Rather, he will calmly and carefully run circles around Jordan.

Not surprising though. Another example of him, as president, being more concerned about himself than the people of this country. He failed in every way.

Donald Trump to employee Molly Michael: “You don’t know anything about the boxes.”
Molly Michael to Jack Smith: “It’s unclear exactly what he meant by that.”
O Molly! Let’s ask the jury.

Democrat Triumphs in Republican Stronghold in Warning Sign to Trump (msn.com)
emocrats flipped a key swing seat in New Hampshire on Tuesday, taking them within a whisker of denying Republicans control over the state’s House of Representatives.
Hal Rafter defeated GOP candidate Jim Guzofski to seize Rockingham County’s 1st District by 56 percent of the vote to 44 percent, despite the constituency having narrowly voted for Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election. The seat, which includes the towns of Northwood and Nottingham, had become vacant after its sitting Republican, Brian Bartlett, resigned on medical grounds.
