Heads up: As of Sunday, the United States has withdrawn all 12 B-1 Air Force bombers from an air base in southern England after new threats were made to commanding officers concerning an Iran-backed plot against the installation. This is a SUPER rare and strange move. substack.com/profile/2357...

Honestly, the USPS has NOTHING, 100% NOTHING to do with elections. The USPS has one and only one job. Mailing mail. They are not arbiters of who gets a ballot. If a state sends a box of ballots to the USPS, they are required by law to deliver the phucking mail. The stupidity is mindnumbing.

The man who appointed his daughter and son-in-law to important government positions, even though they had no relevant experience, wants to appoint someone with no experience to vote in the Senate just because she's someone's sister. Nepotism is the *opposite* of meritocracy.

This protection for Trump and his family was unprecedented in its scope and form, to say the least. It even extended to “affiliates” of the Trumps and was potentially worth tens of millions of dollars. One estimate put it at $100 million. We must not become numb to this corruption.

A stand-up's apex is finite, like that of a soap bubble. Once burst, it seems impossible to build back up. There's a threshold that gets breached when personal indiscretions allow peeks behind the curtain. That could leave a lasting impression. The only stand-up who rose from the ashes was Pryor.
