I’ll grant Donald Trump grace for making misstatements, or even for just mangling the language, the very same day he and his rabid followers do the same. Which means likely never.

Power was out from 1pm to 6pm yesterday, but guess that wasn’t enough so went out at midnight for (so far) another 6 hours. Life with an electric coop & while it did rain, Jemez Mountain has been extremely unsteady lately.

Write it on the blackboard a thousand times: they will have to demolish the ballroom, the arch and so forth. They will have to make a show of it. You will get the usual sons of bitches saying we don’t do that in this country. We do now. That is not emotion, it’s politics. To do less is dereliction.

As a veteran, this answer annoys me. Not just the main part either. Her “I support the military” is the same fakery, the same kind of shield that “I believe in Jesus” is for bogus Christians. It means don’t question me, can’t judge me.

We have 2 guineas left from the small group we started 9 years ago, Mr & Mrs Guinea. They have a small coop but free range all day. Mrs Guinea got grabbed by a hawk on Saturday, and Mr Guinea is lost w/o her. Just a bird but I feel bad for him.

If you find yourself dooming, it's worth recalling that Trump has neither the legal nor (more importantly) the practical ability to effectively federalize & rig the midterms. But if you find yourself complacent, it's important to note he can cause a whole lot of chaos by illegally trying & failing.

Just remember this WHCA night after Trump is gone, and all the big names of so-called political journalism all have chapters in their self-congratulatory books about how they stood up to him. How they “saved” journalism. How brave, brave, brave they were. Every one of them a liar.

The New York Times downplayed and normalized the actions of criminal Donald Trump for years. The Times’ reward: Federal agents showing up on reporters’ doorsteps. Which proves once again that you can’t play nice with fascists. My Stop the Presses newsletter.

I learned something terrible early this morning - I share a birthday with Lindsey Graham. I also share it with OJ Simpson, Jesse Watters, Marc Andreessen, Kevin O’Leary, and Donald Rumsfeld. But also with Tom Hanks, Brian Dennehy, Bon Scott, Courtney Love, and well, John Tesh.

This is the back of the little alcohol wipes I use. Components are pad and alcohol. Wasn’t expecting the plot twist at the end.
The back of a small alcohol wipe packet. The surprise is the last line. It says:

Discard after single use.
Flammable, keep away from fire or flame.

Wonder if it’s occurred to others that there might be more than one person named “Mitch McConnell”. Says a David Nelson that’s neither the son of Ozzie & Harriet nor a former WR from Florida.
