In this Washington State diner, Hawk still means Sheriff Truman's deputy. But they do know this: If Jack Smith had attended an Atlanta-Golden State NBA game in February 2024, it would have proved that he was in town to cover up the Fani Willis/Nathan Wade romance, thus absolving Donald Trump.

My three-year-old was watching the Jack Smith hearings yesterday when she turned to me gravely and asked "Daddy, why does the Senator think the nice bearded man was in Atlanta?" And when I told her "Because our Senate is filled with fucking idiots," she started crying.

Odd, that Republicans in Congress cruelly require work quotas from the poor, sick, and disabled to get federal money, while Republicans in Congress could never qualify for these quotas because of all the days they take off work, but still get FULL benefits from the federal government. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Any sweeping systemic change you want to make in the United States has to begin with adding seats to the Supreme Court in 2029. No major reform bill will survive the current court. No civil rights law, no anti-corruption law, no wealth tax, nothing.
