Good news: Indicted county clerk and wack job Tina Peters lost her bid for GOP Secretary of State candidate. Bad News: Wack job Lauren Boebert won her primary. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2022/06/28/us/elections/results-colorado.html

NPR: Turkey has dropped its objections to Finland and Sweden joining NATO

Halfway through todays episode. So now I've learned we had a tantrum-throwing toddler in the WH, throwing his lunch against the wall, and on the floor. SMH

I'm seeing some wild reactions on Twitter today. I have not watched it yet, but will shortly. I always download the video after the hearing so I can stop/start it as desired, w/o streaming issues. Official site here: https://www.youtube.com/c/January6thCmte/videos

I agree with her more often than not. We need more like her.

Midday today, the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the U.S. Capitol announced a hearing “to present recently obtained evidence and receive witness testimony.” This is a surprise, and it was not until late tonight that reporters confirmed with their sources that the witness will be Cassidy Hutchinson, an aide to former president Trump’s chief of staff Mark Meadows. Hutchinson was the person who revealed that congress members had asked for pardons. https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/june-27-2022 Not sure why this is a surprise when we have already seen video of her deposition previously. Also from the same article: Meanwhile in Colorado, Tina Peters, an election official from Mesa County who has been charged with crimes for her role in trying to overturn the results of the election, on Friday told Nick Corasaniti and Alexandra Berzon of the New York Times that Lauren Boebert (R-CO) encouraged her “to go forward” with stealing and sharing voter information. That information, allegedly obtained through identity theft and illegal breach of computers, later turned up on a right-wing website and at a symposium organized by Mike Lindell, the owner of the MyPillow Company and a leading Trump supporter, alleging voter fraud. A press secretary for Boebert calls the claims false.

Also an argument for why every state should absorb all of its LEOs into the state police, so every LEO gets the same training and operates under the same policies.

I don't think they intended this to be humor, but it is so over-the-top that I found it hysterical. One thing they don't explain it why they never retract the landing gear, even though it is obvioulsy retractable:

Someone thinking the same thing I was thinking:

Hey guys; John Eastman needs to borrow a phone: Federal Agents Seized Phone of John Eastman, Key Figure in Jan. 6 Plan

Video of the "attack" on Rudy Giuliani at a supermarket today:

MAGA lackey says the quiet part out loud:

Contraception??? The blithering idiot must be suffering dementia, causing him to believe he is the pope.

Being a baby boomer, I participated in the sexual revolution. Does that count?

Ukraine needs arms, not prosecutors. If Garland doesn't want to do his job here, then he needs to be replaced by someone who is willing to do the job.

Why the hell is he wasting time in Ukraine instead of prosecuting the Trump crime mob?

And many people wonder why a country that claims to be "civilized", still has the death penalty.

Ooh! I like that idea!

I could make an argument that ignorant voters have always been with us, but what is different today is Rupert Murdoch's proganda machine and its Trumpist toadies spreading lies. January 6 could not have happened without the mass brainwashing. Fox "News" is just as culpable as Trump's Whitehouse crime mob.

I've thought the same thing.

Resigned in 2018 as governor over sexual assault charges, so that makes him fully qualifed as a GOP candidate.

Oh, for chrissake! YouTube Deletes Jan. 6 Committee Video for Including Trump’s False Election Claims
