Huh. A day earlier, The Milwaukee Journal was reporting that the same Derrick Van Orden "appears to volunteer for Fort Hood firing squad execution." So there's a line, is there?

"[I]t is difficult to reckon with the idea that a President might be not merely shambolic and incompetent but something far darker, even evil." Yeah, I've come to terms with using the word "evil." www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...
But if we are uncomfortable using a word like "evil," how else are we to describe the spectacle of the President unleashing Elon Musk ... to slash the budget of the USAID? ... The agency's support -- focussed on fighting malaria, polio, malnutrition, tuberculosis, and H.I.V. -- saved at least ninety million lives in the previous two decades. Researchers estimate that the cruelty-by-budget-cut has been responsible for the loss of as many as seven hundred thousand lives.

“America should not be throwing a lifeline to Putin’s war machine…Putin doesn’t want peace. Putin wants Ukraine.” — Mike Pence I briefed him as Vice President. He’s right. Lifting sanctions doesn’t buy peace. It funds the war. Slava Ukraini.

“I mean, it’s true we didn’t stop him, right? And not because we couldn’t, but because we just wanted to have a nice life. We didn’t want to sacrifice our comfort.” “And look what bloodshed it led to, this desire for comfort.” Close to the bone, no?

“If they don’t attack us—kill our children, we won’t attack their diesel.” - Volodymr Zelenskyy The leader of a democratic nation shouldn’t have to beg America to not fund the war killing its children. The time is long past to choose good over evil. We should be ashamed of our leaders.

Here’s the predicate for Cookiegate… the baker’s FB post that started Sen. Marshall’s latest fiasco: “For nearly a year, I made repeated attempts to collect payment, reaching out by phone and email. I never received a return phone call, and the invoice was never paid.”

Do you know why I will never vote for Roger Marshall?
Because six years ago, when I was a brand-new small business owner, his campaign ordered cookies and treats from my bakery for his primary election watch party.
And I never got paid.
For nearly a year, 1 made repeated attempts to collect payment, reaching out by phone and email. I never received a return phone call, and the invoice was never paid.

Must read👆 And remember too ... Zelensky's refusal to smear Joe Biden in exchange for getting the congressionally approved military aid Ukraine so desperately needed -- ---that's what led to Trump's first impeachment and his visceral hatred for a leader who embodies every virtue he lacks.
