Karma, did you fall asleep at the WHCD? How come Douchey isn’t sick?
Off Topic
A favorite memory is of my mom’s excitement at going to the WHCD one year. She had cancer then and her hair was gone, but she had a lovely wig and a beautiful, sparkly, bugle-beaded ensemble and she didn’t care. She glowed. And she laughed and laughed….

With zero evidence, Newsmax host says Ketanji Brown Jackson "would be my first suspect when it comes to the leak"

You have a pretty good idea of just how stupid their hosts are and how gullible their viewers are from just this.

Listened for an hour or so of one of the *serious* newscasts. Betsy Devils DeVos on teaching kid gender organs forgiving student loans. Not sure who thought that was a good idea. Ukraine hardly got a mention, and crickets on the Oathkeepers bombshell. I did hear Leticia James get a mention, but about the settlement with Turbo Tax.

When I was in fourth grade, all the kids were selling their organs. You could buy a lot of Milk Duds with the money you got for selling your liver, a lung, or your brain. And some of those kids didn't have much use for their brains anyway, y'know.
Fun times!

Newsmax host has the caucasity to accuse Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson of leaking Alito opinion
Instead of addressing that the U.S. Supreme Court is contemplating a reversal on Roe v. Wade, despite the fact that 69% of Americans are in favor of it, Newsmax host Grant Stinchfield went on a farcical rant Tuesday about who he believes is behind the leaked draft opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito.
No big surprise here, but Stinchfield called Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson his “ first suspect.”
The reality is that leaks aren’t common, but they aren’t unheard of.
According to reporting by Vice News, Time Magazine published the original Roe v. Wade opinion ahead of its official announcement, and Jonathan Peters, a media professor at the University of Georgia’s Grady College, extensively outlined the history of the court’s leaks.
“Supreme Court leaks are rare and remarkable, but they are not unprecedented,” Peters tweeted. Click on the tweet below for the full thread.

Dropping this here because it is the purveyors of fake news' fault. They won't believe facts anymore, just what they are told.

I have a friend, whose husband is a retired Marine special forces guy. He spent better part of a year at the siege of Khe Sanh. After he retired, he was a police officer (SWAT) and medical first responder. He's vaguely
conservative on some things, but not nuts. 1/n
In his retirement, he still teaches police, SWAT teams, and first responders about dealing with ugly mass casualty events, including Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and High Yield Explosives. He's still part of the state volunteer emergency services. 2/n
► Show Spoiler
This past week, he got asked to do a day of training for emergency medical services providers in a different county. Think even redder and more Trumpy than his already fairly conservative home town in a red state. 3/n
Part of his training (the briefing with PowerPoint) was discussing where mass casualty attacks come from, who does them, their tactics technics and procedures, and what sorts of injuries their mass casualty events produce. Basically, here's what to expect. 4/n
For anyone who's military, this should sound pretty boring and normal: it's the intel briefing that everyone gets when discussing CONOPS.
Except, this crowd of "students" was having none of it.
Why? 5/n
Because this decorated combat vet who's pro-police in in most cases had the temerity to show them the FBI statistics on the sources of domestic terrorism and mass casualty events: which is roughly 75% right wing, 18% religious, 4% left wing, and the rest other or N/A. 6/n
Under right wing he included things like neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and the like.
The audience refused to believe.
"No! It's Antifa!"
He pulled up the spreadsheets and stats on the FBI website.
They still wouldn't believe him, even with FBI data collected un Trump. 7/n
The audience seemed disinclined to believe anything he told them after that, despite being by far the most experienced person they're ever going to meet.
He's vowed to never go back: they're unteachable.
But it says something about the future of law enforcement. 8/n
When future administrations and Fox News decide to blame someone for anything, law enforcement is going to be even worse than they are now. Remember the special treatment RIttenhouse got? I'm even more firm in my assessment that these militias are the next Sturmabteilung. 9/n
Trans people are responsible for mass killings? Sure! They'll all believe it. All the problems we see with police today are only going to get worse as the few remaining (remotely) sane officers retire or are forced out because they refuse to believe things that are patently false
Follow up. Spoke with his wife last night. The first responders also didn't believe that police were attacked on January 6th. Or if they were, it was Antifa.
These are the people that will be propping up our post-democracy government.
