Had a number of errands this afternoon (though we turn off news after morning coffee and breakfast) and while expecting it, it was good to come home and hear the gag order in the Loon's New York case is back on.
It is a good thing. Sounds like the Loon was getting ready yesterday for quite a wind-up on honing his skills at veiled threats and help from those crazies who are only too happy to help him out. He was calling out the family/wife of the Judge Engeron. It is still a limited gag order, but I think things may quiet until the Loon and his idiot lawyers figure a possible work-around.
I think of Trump and the words slithering evil just pop in my head. He is forever pushing and testing. It works for him when it won't for others. The others are not so deeply psychotic and so the ability to elicit a like response that the orange one gets just doesn't happen.
Still such a sad event for sane, reasonable people to have to endure. Reps. party just have not evolved in any way but rather seem to have dissolved. Almost unrecognizable now.

Nor sure if I've hears this explanation of this Beatles song before:
Are you familiar with the song “Blackbird” by The Beatles? Most of us are, but few know the REAL meaning behind it…
Paul McCartney was visiting America. He was sitting, resting, when he heard a woman screaming. He looked up to see a Black woman being surrounded by the police. The police had her handcuffed, and were beating her.
He thought the woman had committed a terrible crime, only to find out that "the crime" she committed was to sit in a section reserved for whites.
Paul was shocked. There was no segregation in England. But, here in America, the land of freedom, this is how Blacks were being treated.
McCartney and the Beatles went back home to England, but he would remember what he saw, how he felt, the unfairness of it all.
He also remembered watching television and following the news in America, the race riots and what was happening in Little Rock, Arkansas, what was going on in the Civil Rights movement.
He saw the picture of 15-year-old Elizabeth Eckford attempt to attend classes at Little Rock Central High School as an angry mob followed her, yelling, "Drag her over this tree! Let's take care of that n**ger!'" and “Lynch her! Lynch her!” “No n**ger b*tch is going to get in our school!”
McCartney couldn't believe this was happening in America.
He thought of these women being mistreated, simply because of the color of her skin. He sat down and started writing.
Last year at a concert, he would meet two of the women who inspired him to write one of his most memorable songs, Thelma Mothershed Wair and Elizabeth Eckford, members of the Little Rock Nine (pictured here).
McCartney would tell the audience he was inspired by the courage of these women: "Way back in the Sixties, there was a lot of trouble going on over civil rights, particularly in Little Rock. We would notice this on the news back in England, so it's a really important place for us, because to me, this is where civil rights started. We would see what was going on and sympathize with the people going through those troubles, and it made me want to write a song that, if it ever got back to the people going through those troubles, it might just help them a little bit, and that's this next one."
He explained that when he started writing the song, he had in mind a Black woman, but in England, "girls" were referred to as "birds." And, so the song started:
"Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting
for this moment to arise."
McCartney added that he and the Beatles cared passionately about the Civil Rights movement, "so this was really a song from me to a Black woman, experiencing these problems in the States: ‘Let me encourage you to keep trying, to keep your faith, there is hope.’
"Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting
for this moment to be free.

GREAT Shame on the media for that.

I think this is lousy, but I don't have all the facts about why these people got off rather lightly for stealing government property during an insurrection.

Hmmm, a truthful logo.

" You can't make this shit up" and I've never believed a phrase so much in my life. Leave it to Reps.

Just saw on the news that Santos has at last been ousted. Well, can't say they didn't wait till the last minute. Now Gaetz can start thinking about who or what can run interference for him. I think Santos was keeping the heat turned down a lot while he was around making noise and saying stupid things.
The Reps. are mainly crazy so who knows if they will rid themselves of the worst riffraff or not.

Been that way forever. A bunch of users and losers and they have become over-ripe, and the stench is at painful and debilitating level now.

For the time being, there is one less criminal in the Republican Party.George Santos is out.0 -
Backing off now — says he will only object to "woke" officers. This should have happened some time back. Only due to Ernst and a couple of others willing to go on the floor and object. Way over-due.

BREAKING: A federal appeals court slaps Donald Trump with a massive legal loss as it rules that it rules that Trump CAN be held legally accountable and liable in ALL civil lawsuits stemming from his deadly January 6 insurrection.
But it gets even WORSE for Donald Trump…
CNN reports that this is a “long-awaited and consequential decision” that will “have significant implications for several cases against Trump in the Washington, DC, federal court related to the 2020 election.”
Adding insult to injury for Trump, CNN also reports that “this appeals court decision arises out of lawsuits brought by Capitol Police officers” against Donald Trump personally, which means that Trump will have to use his own personal money for his legal defense — as well as for any financial penalties awarded to the Capitol Officers, which could be “substantial” and cause Trump even more financial problems.2 -
Something else for the media to ignore.

I would say 91 and counting — yet the Reps. have no one else to run. How sad, but then their greed and avarice has blinded them.
