It's all true!

What is it about this picture that's upsetting all the Rightzis?

Could it be the very tall man who clearly does not buy off-the-rack, who has covered up his tattoos and left his hoodie in the car?  

Could it be his diminutive wife who came here undocumented as a seven-year-old from Brazil, supports every cause they hate and wore a $12 thrift shop dress to visit the Capitol?  Let's go with that.

Sorry Hillary, Nancy, Kamala, Alexandria, Maxine, there's a new lightning rod for hate in town.  So much joy in Murdoch Mudville.

Hey Barack Obama!  Nice work appointing Mark E. Walker chief judge for the Northern District of Florida back in 2012.  Because today he handed Governissimo DeSantis his own ass on a platter, throwing out key (i.e. totalitarian) provisions of the ridiculously named "Stop Wrongs Against Our Kids and Employees Act -- WOKE, get it, sort of?  I love a decision that opens by quoting the first line of 1984 and then fillets the way a law "muzzles professors in the name of 'freedom.'"  Since instructors at state universities are considered employees of the state, the state reserved the right to censor them, until Judge Walker came along brandishing the First Amendment.  See, Liz Harrington, this is how it works.

Shade-throwing 101:  On the floor of the House, after declaring she will relinquish the Democratic leadership next year, Speaker Pelosi said, "I have enjoyed working with three presidents."  That would be Bush, Obama and Biden.

Republican op Jesse Benton has (again) been convicted of funneling campaign funds from Roman Vasilenko to a pro-Trump superpac in 2016.  Also known in certain circles as "the Russia hoax."

Anheuser-Busch spent millions to sponsor the World Cup and now Qatar has announced no alcohol can be sold in the stadiums.  Also, part of the spectator housing looks like this...

...with kickoff two days away.  Even Sepp Blatter now admits giving Qatar the opportunity to burnish its horrible image was probably "a mistake," though not, of course, his fault.

Once again Alabama failed to lethally inject a prisoner condemned to death for a 1988 murder.  Maybe it's time to resume lynching.  They were very successful with that.

A draft of public school standards in Virginia is drawing attention.  Among other provisions, children must describe the Code of Hammurabi but must not be told about Martin Luther King until sixth grade.  The young ones will be curious about that random holiday in January.

Merrick Garland has named Jack Smith special prosecutor of Trump's theft of top secret documents.  Smith has a varied CV which includes investigating international war crimes in The Hague.  Interesting.

House Republicans have an actual Second Amendment Caucus, so who better to stop by for a celebratory drink this week than Killer Kyle Rittenhouse?  They asked Dylann Roof but this is his week in the prison library.

Despite the best efforts of the Opus Dei court to arm New Yorkers with guns, a man dropped in at the New York Times building yesterday equipped only with an axe and a sword.  No one was attacked.

Russia says it would like arms smuggler Victor Bout returned in a swap for Brittney Griner.  What if we sweeten the deal?  Throw in a couple of tanks and a really annoying Florida man?
