NEW: Biden has nominated Stephanie Dawkins Davis to the 6th Circuit.

She'd be the first Black woman from Michigan and only the second Black woman ever to serve on the appeals court.

Wordle ??
I can so believe that.

We've discussed how the Q-cult is essentially an addictive online game with a main character of Cigarette-Smoking Man.

Supposedly the easiest way to overcome a habit/addiction is to try to replace the habit with another one.

Addictive word game sounds perfect!

Y'know, my first thought was that I would dearly love to throw a black sack full of explosive onto that fire and then slide swiftly back out of the way.

It's gonna get worse. The absolute insanity from the right is going to escalate as they try to top each other as the 'mostest conservative-ist Trumpiest' candidate for the midterms. So far DiSantis is leading the pack, but the others aren't far behind.

WASHINGTON — The Republican Party on Friday officially declared the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol and events that led to it “legitimate political discourse,” formally rebuking two lawmakers in the party who have been most outspoken in condemning the deadly riot and the role of Donald J. Trump in spreading the election lies that fueled it.

It is certainly a crowded field.

Hmm

Trump was wrong to seek to overturn Biden win, says Mike Pence

What I thought I heard him saying in that speech was that Trump was wrong to think it was possible for him to overturn Biden's win, which isn't quite the same thing as saying Trump was wrong to seek it. Not so damning about Trump: making a mistake isn't as bad as wishing to commit treason, and as I heard it the implication was that he was incorrect rather than wicked. "Wrong" can mean either, so it was a clever word to use.

He never lets us down, does he: utterly predictable bullshit every time.

Can't just shuffle off the stage can he?

If he were to stop having a huge and troublesome mob of supporters he would almost certainly go to prison, so no, he won't feel that he can.

'Presidential records including “love letters” from Kim Jong-un had to be retrieved from Mar-a-Lago after Donald Trump improperly removed them from the White House, the Washington Post reported on Monday.'

Good grief. One can see why Trump was taken in.

Pence.

'(CNN)Mike Pence just crashed his political career into Donald Trump -- and the former President's ongoing claims that the 2020 election was fraudulent and should have been overturned on January 6.'
