Is it over?

 A football game of surpassing importance and a historic level of security was played yesterday and someone won.  Good for them.  But life goes on.

Marco Goeke has been suspended as director of the Hanover State Opera ballet company and is under police investigation.  He didn't care for Wiebke Huster's review of his In the Dutch Mountain with a company in The Hague, so he abused her verbally and then rubbed dog shit on her face.  Allegedly.  The shit was said to be freshly produced by Gustav, his dachshund, who accompanies him everywhere.  

Trump and his running dog Ronny "Candy Man" Jackson are still spitting nails because Rihanna went down so well at the Big Game Half Time Show.  Shouldn't they be celebrating the fact that a woman is working through her pregnancy?  Of course they were pre-outraged when the NFL invited Sheryl Lee Ralph to sing "Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing" after Chris Stapleton's "Star-Spangled Banner."  "Do football, not wokeness," screeched Lauren Boebert, horrified that some BLM terrorists had evaded the guards and painted "END RACISM" in the Eagles endzone.  Fortunately the Kansas City fans are still performing the "tomahawk chop" for the team that refuses to find a less racist name.

Elon Musk, who spent the game snuggling with Rupert Murdoch because no one else wants to be seen with him, plans to end Ukraine's use of Starlink satellite internet service.  Former astronaut Scott Kelly protested and Musk responded by essentially blaming Ukraine for trying to start World War III with its continued resistance to Russian aggression.  At the Paris Olympics he'll be sitting with Putin.

Wanted:  A new Architect of the Capitol.  Both parties agree with Joe Biden's decision to fire J. Brett Blanton after the inspector general reported "ethical and administrative violations."  Blanton evidently used government vehicles for private trips and pretended to be a law enforcement officer, pretty small beer for a Trump appointee.  More to the point, what did he know about the coup and when did he know it?  

Speaking of corruption, the Washington Post has a long article about how Trump and Jared Kushner have benefited from Saudi investment in their companies since helping Prince Mohammed bin Salman gain control of the Saudi Arabian government.  How is soliciting bribes from foreign governments not a crime?  George Stephanopoulos was curious, too.  James "Laptop" Comer had no good answer.

Another day, yet another "TOP SECRET" folder found under the pillow at Mar a Lago, and you're going to love the explanation from yet another Trump lawyer, Timothy Parlatore:  "He has one of those landline telephones next to his bed and it has a blue light on it and it keeps him up at night.  So he took the manila folder and put it over so it would keep the light down so he could sleep at night."  Clear?
