However...
Bannon indicted by a federal grand jury!

Big Bird may be innocent but who can vouch for Elmo?

Former White House adviser Stephen K. Bannon was charged Friday with contempt of Congress after refusing to comply with a subpoena from the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on Congress.
He was indicted by a grand jury in Washington.

Attorney General Merrick Garland said the charges reflect the Justice Department’s commitment to “show the American people by word and deed that the department adheres to the rule of law, follows the facts and the law and pursues equal justice under the law.”

(CNN)-- 'A January 6 defendant pleaded guilty on Friday to bringing Molotov cocktails and an unlicensed gun to Capitol Hill on the day of the insurrection.

Vietnam veteran and Alabama resident Lonnie Leroy Coffman's actions that day remain some of the most unsettling to come out of the investigations into the Capitol riot.'

At least there is this to distract from the absolute travesty of the other trial.

Rittenhouse trial goes to the jury today. I'm not holding out much hope for anything other than a 'slightly possible but not holding my breath' hung jury.

On a better note: Beto O'Rourke plans to challenge Tx asshole Gov Abbott. DH and I plan to contribute to his campaign even though we don't live in Tx.

I saw about Beto O'Rourke Across. That man can sure give a good speech, that is good news!

On the Rittenhouse trial, I dread to think what the verdict is going to be....

I've been so tempted to turn off my news notifications for the day, Roussette , because I'm afraid if I see something flash when I'm out in public I may not be able to stop myself shouting out "Motherrr Fuckerrrr!!!".

Yes, I agree. The sobbing sure was a masterclass of first day in Theatre School...

His face & demeanor was more suited to a thwarted toddler than someone wracked with fear and trauma. And not one tear. Just those squinched up eyes like a child does to try to force out tears.

Yes, or a bad bout of consipation 😂
