Traitor to who? Before falling keester first into the VP job Pence's political base could be measured in dozens of Hoosiers, not enough to re-elect him governor. The orange oaf recognized him as a dead-ender with no other prospects who would do as told and would fawn over his boss. At the end Mikey did a solid for the country, probably thinking it would keep him alive and out of jail, and nothing more. Pence has no political viability so I'm surprised he was even invited to speak at the event. The hecklers were probably paid to act up...

In Okiehomie "high paying jobs" that don't involve working in an oilfield pay $14 per hour and don't require reading', writing' or cipherin' skills...

Someone somewhere has photos and/or video of some blockhead Congress person meeting with criminal insurrectionists in the Capitol, maybe showing them around, offering encouragement for the insurrection itself. When those pix or action videos come forth, someone will be quite embarrassed, yet nothing will happen to them, because their constituents want a criminal bent on the destruction of the US Government representing them...

Hmmm. This presents a quandary for the orange oaf, in the offering of his 'endorsement. Does he pick the lady in the red dress, or the big-talker who wants to kill his political opponent. This is a toughie...

How they gonna enforce this thing? Let's have a trial...
--The ghost of Clarence Darrow

These people named will be among the first to jump between a camera and a group of police officers. As for honoring and protecting those officers, well...not so much...

Starr was targeted because she is on TV quite a lot, has the experience needed to get to the most important sources, carries the respect of many in her profession and with those on whom she reports, so was seen by the Trump Criminal Enterprise as a threat, of...something, for reasons that dull-witted folk cannot articulate. There was and continues to be a significant military aspect to the Trump/Russia crime spree, and as one who could learn more and report openly about it, Starr became a target.

The ineptitude of the Trump cabal is the 'good' part of this matter. The crimes committed are the bad part. The worst part is the on-going obstruction of justice being planned and committed by Trump's acolytes...

I'll wager that about 45 seconds before shots were fired this cracker had a head full of thoughts about freedom, personal rights, nobody telling him how to live, blah blah blah. For the next umnpteen years Jughead will not have any freedom or personal rights but will have plenty of people named 'Boss', 'Sir' or 'Yes Ma'am' telling him how to live...

Marching for freedom, eh? March him off to Corcoran...

Proud Boys: a biker gang where they don't wear leather (it chafes me!) and ride bicycles. Their 'biker mamas' are married to their dads, their club house doubles as a tree fort (no girls allowed) and their street marches include crossing guards. As they say out here, these guys are all hat and no cattle...

The fraudit talk here in Okiehomie is almost non-existent. Good--Okies think this process would involve counting backward, and they don't have that skill. I think Dems should ask for audits of Red states. Riddle me this, Batman: How can so many GOP candidates win, unless the elections are rigged?

Send it someplace where it is needed and will be used. Help rebuild our country's standing in the world by giving away--free--an effective, American-made vaccine to the world's needy. At this point just about every American who wants a shot has gotten one or more...

Cancel this guy's passport. Tell him to not leave town, not to make any vacation plans, and to get his best suit pressed. He is wanted for a conversation...

From the web site of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum:

"On July 14, 1933, the German government instituted the "Law for the Prevention of Progeny with Hereditary Diseases." This law called for the sterilization of all persons who suffered from diseases considered hereditary, including mental illness, learning disabilities, physical deformity, epilepsy, blindness, deafness, and severe alcoholism. With the law's passage the Third Reich also stepped up its propaganda against the disabled, regularly labeling them "life unworthy of life" or "useless eaters" and highlighting their burden upon society.

The term "euthanasia" (literally, "good death") usually refers to the inducement of a painless death for a chronically or terminally ill individual. In Nazi usage, however, "euthanasia" referred to the systematic killing of the institutionalized mentally and physically disabled."

Disabled folks in the US may think that election laws which now make it more difficult for them to vote were created by mistake, and that there were just a bunch of errors made, state after state. Maybe. Maybe not. Those persons and their supporters had better fight as if their lives now depend on the repeal of these laws, which (in this political climate) may be the case...

Were the oaf still in charge here, restrictions would have been lifted and the trail of death would have followed two weeks after...

Dems in Congress have to force this issue.

Meadows et alia will clam up and claim 'executive privilege', expecting congressional Dems to reply 'OK then, shoot. I thought we were getting somewhere on this, but I guess we have to let it go. Dang...'. There are limits to that privilege, and in cases of fomenting insurrection, conspiring to commit election fraud and other such charges the severity of the situation will certainly out-weigh the privilege claims.

While in Congress Meadows was a well-known jerk. Watching him duck, dive and dodge a subpoena and then try to dance around questions while under oath will be must-see TV. Someone among the cast of characters in this matter will blab. I'll wager the lawyers will, given their reactions to some of the 'requests' sent their way after the election. We're going to have some who cannot recall anything from before Diamond Joe's inauguration, and a hero or two who will burn down all others who they encountered in this mess. Let's hope it's more of the latter and less of the former...

As I write this some guys showed up on the I-35 bridge over the Red River, with 50,000 feet of extension cord to tap into Okiehomie wind power to cool the BBQ stand just south of the state line...

Lots of openings at Fedex. Good Company.
Lots of jobs at Dollar General. Bad company.

No sign of whether the Jack Daniels Distillery is hiring tasters...

The paranoia and back-stabbing in the last guy's administration must have made the Nixon White House seem like middle school...

Garland's pronouncement is easy to say, harder to execute. For now, he should release ALL details of the Trump Crime Family and Administration's actions against the press, apologize for the actions of his predecessors, and commence legal action where possible, in the names of the aggrieved...

Meanwhile just off the 13th green at some third-rate publinx track with $7 hot dogs and $80 cart fees, an orange oaf is tweeting about how often he went to church, but the 'enemy of the people' press didn't cover that fact...

All those anti-vaxxers who, like MTG, don't believe in evolution are about to get a science lesson dropped on them. They are about to be naturally selected into the cemetery of their survivors choice...

Hmmm. When this knob gets got he will be 55, unemployed and with a parole officer asking about him. I hope he likes his new life as an itinerant farm laborer...

I suspect it will be a while before Bibi gets into the US again. Diamond Joe remembers the insult this thug delivered to his former boss, and by extension much of the populace. He can stand on the south side of the oaf's border fence and shout his message...

A note to Kookie: welcome to the Oklahoma County Jail, which has one of the highest death rates among prisoners of any jail in the country. Sucks to be you, partner...
