GOP Congressman Says “I Serve With Some Real Scumbags,” Slams Matt Gaetz
“I served 20 years in the military. It’s an honor to be in Congress,” Gonzalez said, “but I serve with some real scumbags. Look, Matt Gaetz, he paid minors to have sex with him at drug parties.”

Is the U.S. Government Ready for Another January 6?
Trump is normalizing violent rhetoric. The Biden administration should be preparing for the worst.

I feel like this should be … Breaking News!
Jack Smith Files "Motion for Reconsideration and Stay' - regarding Cannon's ruling(s) about classified evidence (not actually law)
In between end-of-week, ongoing noise pollution by grating voices, lies across the media, and tribalism gone amok…
This seems to have been gotten lost in the mix - maybe part of the whole ‘counter-programming’ of screens and minds?
This here. IMM, is one of the most important (as in meaningful) events since #Jan6, with quietly-waiting Angel of #Justice, Jack Smith -mostly silent. But he's been working to stop Judge Cannon from obstructing AND/or violating or misunderstanding law.
Not sure what will pop up ‘here’ if I share a link - will be happy if the Post post displays…
**This is Jack Smith's filing (.pdf)
Thin-slice: Jack Smith’s ready to go and is tired of Cannon’s obstruction and disregard for (actual) law!

Trump’s Red Flags: Polls Say a Conviction Would Doom His Campaign
Many voters say they don’t want a convicted felon in the White House. But do they mean it? And can prosecutors get to trial before the vote?
THE questions! Tick tick tick ... ⏳
As several efforts are underway to delay/quash ALL the criminal cases, from GA's RICO case which gets at all the #Jan6 crime from the #TrumpVirus cult/Crime Family, to Smith's case (people disparaging, but waiting on "immunity" ruling which seems to many ominously slow in coming), to the 'disgorgement' of the terrific Drumpf Crime Family holdings in New York...
The doors are opening and shutting, with Sir StableGenius plugging all the links in his dam of damned cases...
And as the sub-headline here frames it, the clock is ticking, all eyes on the "DO SOMETHING NOW!" vs. 'running out the clock'.

A bit of psychoanalytic reverie re: the parallels between #TrumpVirus and the psychotic delusions of Hans Schreber...
I woke up with this in mind, after hearing a deranged DJT praise "hostages" of #justice on #Jan6 -
and speaking of water sinking magnets. So reminded me of the magical/delusional/self-referential 'thinking' of another madman.
Inside the Mind of Daniel Schreber: A look at Sigmund Freud's interpretation of Daniel Schreber's fantasies detailed in Memoirs of My Nervous Illness
Not having heard/thought of this in decades, it is almost synchronicity that out of the blue a few others have recalled this now-ancient bit of Freud's focus at one time. What I recall (not highlighted in the few articles I could find online) is this context. The son of a famous person, and famed judge in his own right, Schreber wound up in an asylum (twice, at least, including his last stop).
What I recall in my training was a look at his dreams, as described in a biography he wrote in his last days. He was tortured by dreams or waking delusions of little demonic spots covering his eyes. Thin-sliced, it turns out the judge's famous father had bound him with objects to constrain his hands while sleeping (don't want to do anything evil while sleeping!) and - importantly - would dab junior's eyelids with cold drops of water. It was striking how vividly that seemed to match the hallucinations around 'seeing spots'.
Now I'm looking at a few articles to see what I can find more specific to that, but meanwhile...
That's what came out of hiding in my own 'subconscious' upon hearing Lord StableGenius talk about sinking magnets with water.
Reminded in terms of the #psychosis and how personal experience & thinking shape #delusions & #hallucinations & #WordSalad
Sorry about the aspects of Freud's Victorian-era treatment of 'homosexuality' which I know turned many off, and away from Freud (aside from generalized views of how 'anatomy is destiny', and narcissism, and a few other things not addressed publicly before him.)

Three years ago today the US Capitol was attacked by rioters incited by Donald #Trump to overthrow the government. Hours later 68% of House republicans voted to finish the job and make trump a dictator. Here are their names.
Just this.... Happy New Year! New actual news - about the 'rigged' #GQP SCOTUS, vs. #Justice, #democracy, & We The People
The live report I just saw isn't live yet online, but my the short description below fleshes it out a bit, and here's the headline:
House Democrats urge Clarence Thomas to recuse himself from Trump Colorado ballot case
The former president has asked the Supreme Court to overturn a ruling in Colorado that he is ineligible to appear on the state primary ballot because of his efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
But but...
A group of House Democrats, led by Rep. Hank Johnson, of Georgia, the ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee’s courts subcommittee, demanded that Thomas recuse himself from the case in a letter dated Thursday.
“This time, we must urge you to recuse yourself from any involvement in the case of Anderson v. Griswold, because your impartiality is reasonably questioned by substantial numbers of fair-minded members of the public, who believe you wife Virginia ('Ginni') Thomas’s substantial involvement in the events leading up to the January 6 insurrection, and the financial incentive it presents for your household if President Trump is re-elected, are disqualifying,” the lawmakers wrote.
Former lead impeachment lawyer, now Congressman, Dan Goldman... has, with colleagues sent a concise and profoundly clear letter from Congress - stating the obvious: Ginni Thomas not only participated in, but promoted and fund-raised for the #Jan6 insurrection, "insurrection" as clearly defined in both dictionary and history, as well as two recent court decisions.
Thin-sliced: Having a justice in effect ruling on his wife's behavior and what that was, and meant, would be, to be precise, unthinkable. If we live in a sane world and democracy. So, please Clarence, come in off the yacht and look at yourself, if you can.
That last point was just made by Dan Goldman (live, moments ago) on MSNBC, Last Word w/LO'D... If you can see it live/DVR'd on cable or streaming, it's on now/later. It's not up as a snippet online, though I hope it is soon. So clear. So obvious. So difficult to imagine a respectable and rational reply.
This was real. And an inconvenient #truth for the hubby of a #seditionist and tool of #TrumpVirus
