i know plenty of people who i once considered to be smart and good persons who have been brainwashed by the right wing media machine - and i don't use that term tongue in cheek, i mean it literally. brain washed.
it's created a lot of pain - when you can't even be cordial with lifelong friends and even family members - because the rational thinking person you once knew has been taken in by grievance politics.
so - yea.
good luck to jack in his locker room, tho.
fucking washington redskommander football team can't get out of their own way.

...there's a drive into deep left field by Castellanos and that'll be a home run. And so that'll make it a 4-0 ballgame.

“… condemning violence in communities across the country.”
Yes, January 6 was no worse than a summer weekend in Chicago.
A quick scan of Jack Del Rio's Twitter liked and, uh, yeaaaaaaa it's not exactly a shock that he said something like this.

Remember - it isn't the person shooting a sign with an assault rifle in a campaign ad debuting shortly after a rash of mass shootings who is the radical one.
It's the Democrats. Mostly because of AOC and her Chicago Green New Soros Deal.

Hearings starting tonight. I'm so glad it's not up against the NBA Finals, one has to have priorities 
It's so damn depressing that a large percentage of people in this country don't give a damn about Jan 6th and think these hearings are a sham. They would root for it to happen again too.

I'm watching. I think it's pretty powerful stuff so far. The opening remarks from Thompson and Cheney earlier were very well done and very blunt. I love that they're calling out those who continue to defend, justify, and excuse this insanity.
The footage from that day will never not be chilling. Bunch of losers so desperate to overcompensate for their own stupidity and shortcomings. Trump can burn in hell, and so can everyone who helped enable him and his overblown hissy fit.
Obviously we know Trump's supporters are a lost cause at this point, but if these hearings help shift opinion, in any way, in the right direction among the rest of the population, then good. I really, really hope that happens.

The info on the private meeting with Trump, Pence, Powell, Giuliani taking place an hour before Trump's "gonna be wild" tweet needs to be replayed over and over and over again.
Fox ran Fucker Carlson's show without commercials to keep people from switching to the hearing

The "proud" boys having that filmed just proves how delusional they are. They thought what they were doing was completely rational, legal, and justified. And don't forget, Trump had shouted them out and told them to stand by. And they boasted about that.
So many people would say they just let the guy film it because they're stupid. No, that's a big mistake to make. I presume their egos and narcissism did play a part though.
The video of the violence made me feel ill, and very angry.

i think they were okay with it because they were expecting the insurrection to be successful and trump to remain in office.
because they felt he would have their back.
likely because he told them he would.

Can Dems at least show they care enough to impeach Thomas ? He won’t be removed but do the work. Show the country you’re against corruption

you can't impeach someone for the actions of their spouse unless you have direct proof that they were also involved.

Sorry, launch an investigation to see if impeachment is warranted
His refusal to recluse himself from cases involving his wife and the coup is grounds for dismissal

Donnie just threw Ivanka under the bus too. He doesn't even care about his own kids in my humble opinion. They're just pawns in his narcissistic game. Cross him one time and you will pay. His adult children are afraid of him.

This is now about a security failure of incredible magnitude and they don't even seem to want to talk about it. The one person that looks good is Donald Trump," he said.

It is. I have eyes on a few potential 2024 replacements not named Harris.
Winning is the only thing that matters.
My hope is that Trump is cooked. But DeSantis is much smarter, and every bit as vindictive and fascist-sympathetic. Although I can’t see him inspiring the same level of blind devotion that Trump somehow does.
Anyway, there are D’s out there.

Russia likely to seize all of Luhansk in coming weeks, U.S. official says
https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/06/11/ukraine-war-russia-luhansk/
Such a move would leave Russia short of its war aims of capturing all of Luhansk and Donetsk, which together make up the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine. But it would still amount to a win for Russian forces and create a new de facto front line that could last for some time.
The Ukrainian cities of Severodonetsk and Lysychansk, in Luhansk, are increasingly under duress and could fall to Russian forces within a week, the official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue.
....Zelensky said Saturday that it was “too late” to persuade Russia to end its invasion, calling on the world to avoid compromise with Moscow and take stronger action against Russia.
Zelensky’s comments, delivered via video at the Shangri-La Dialogue, an annual security summit in Singapore, came a week after French President Emmanuel Macron sparked the ire of Ukraine and Eastern European allies when he said it was crucial not to “humiliate” Russia, to preserve the option of a diplomatic resolution to the conflict.
Paris appeared to be doing damage control Friday, with a presidential official telling reporters that France wants a Ukrainian victory and was unwilling to make concessions to Russia, Reuters reported.

We’ll see more and more of this shit.
Also, Idaho looks scary as hell to live haha. I know a lot of CA are moving there for cheap living etc, which Idaho folk despise (one of my coworkers lives in Boise).
I suppose one good thing about these terrorist groups explaining what they’re going to do in public meant law enforcement had a good chance at stopping them.
Don’t believe the group had any guns, but they definitely were geared up for a fight

There's a bipartisan gun deal. It's not remotely close to enough. And it better fucking pass.
Get it done, check some boxes, and then you can start working on more. But please for fucks sake don't do nothing, and don't kill the bill Democrats because it's not everything you want.

They're bringing maple syrup. They're bringing poutine. They're hosers, and some, I assume, are good people.
