Just another quick report & smile (Ari Melber, < 3m)

Bradley P. Moss:

"I came for a quick insight into @AriMelber’s view of the indictment..."

"...I left laughing at the inclusion of 'dayenu'"

i guess this would qualify as BREAKING NEWS!

Former President Donald Trump has been indicted in the special counsel's classified documents probe, sources familiar with the matter tell CNN

Way to go CNN... I remember when the first N stood for "News'.
And now, as we've all watched the daily build-up with Grand Juries and target statements and venue stories, etc....

Let the smoke lift (pardon the allusion to the many smoky skies and also the smokescreens so beloved by #TrumpVirus & Co.)

"BREAKING!"

(News & norms, not patterns)

Re #TrumpVirus vs. E. Jean Carrol

The jury awarded her $5 million in damages for her battery and defamation claims.

... but not liable for her alleged rape.

Or as Trump will declare: "No rape! Not guilty! I won! Nasty woman".

The Crippled Fox and the Generous Lion

On a certain day, a man was seized by a spiritual thirst. In those days, when you were spiritually thirsty, you went to the forest.
So this man went deep into a nearby forest and found a tree, under which he sat cross-legged and began intoning the sacred syllable aum.

Now, you can do aum for only so long. After that, the stomach has its own aum, which asserts itself periodically! Each time his stomach growled, the man would go to town for a meal. He would then come back and resume his austerities.

One day, he returned after his meal and sat down on a rock. He was about to resume his chanting when he noticed a fox. It had lost both its forelegs but was still well-fed and healthy. This struck the man as distinctly odd. in a jungle, governed by the law of the survival of the fittest, it was strange to find a disabled but healthy animal. How had this fox managed to survive?

The man looked at it with some surprise. After a while, he resumed his practices.
That evening, while meditating, he heard the growl of a lion. He promptly forgot his aum and clambered up a tree.
A lion came by with a large chunk of meat in its mouth. To the man's amazement, the lion walked up to the crippled fox, dropped it in front of him, and walked away. the fox began tucking into his dinner.

The man looked on in disbelief. The same practice went on day after day. The man could not believe his eyes. A crippled fox being fed by a generous lion! this was a miracle.

"This has to be a message from God," he thought. "What is God trying to tell me?" He struggled with that question for a while, and then it dawned on him. When even a crippled fox was being fed in the jungle by a generous lion, why should he keep running to town in search of food? Surely God wanted him to trust he would be provided for and wanted him to focus on what really counted--his spiritual practice.

So the man changed his strategy. For the next three days, he kept up his [i]aum]/i] practice without stirring from his spot. By the fourth day, he was considerably weakened; by the fifth day, he could barely stay conscious; by the seventh day, he was gasping for life, caught in the throes of death.

A yogi happened to be passing this way. Hearing these noises, he found the man and asked; "What happened to you? Why are you in this condition?"
"Because a divine message came to me. I obeyed it, and see my plight!" Groaned the man.
"What divine message?"

And so the man related to the yogi the entire story of the crippled fox and the generous lion. "So tell me, yogi," gasped the man, "was this a divine message or not?"
The yogi said, "Yes, of course this was a divine message. But why did you choose to imitate a crippled fox rather than a generous lion?"

Ka-boom! Breaking alternative facts from #GQP / #Fox via #Muskville

So here's the first Mucker Carlson creative effort at a new narrative. The "official" anti-#truth version of #Jan6 per #Fox / #GQP

Count on Twitter to Amplify the Big Lie's biggest new lie/narrative

So, not to sound as idiotic as him, hopefully... OK, let's say the Q shaman was in fact "chaperoned"? (Or maybe carefully followed as things grew tense and reinforcements nil...) Was this what they planned? Were they ordered to deliver him to the Chamber, to defile it? As the Capitol had now been breached and people were chanting to hang Mike Pence and capture Pelosi... were these police officers complicit, part of say, Proud Boys or Oath Keepers, known to have some fans in some police ranks?

Who are these uniformed officers? What were they actually doing? Any reality-based context at all? What if they really did escort him safely & directly, and they were part of the conspiracy? Shouldn't they be arrested & charged with the others in the #sedition of #Jan6?

Maybe Carlson and the #disinformation network he fronts for, might see some #karma here, with some unintended consequences.

And the winner of worst possible disrespect of Martin Luther King, and rationality too ... naturally, from Lord #TrumpVirus.
Surprise, surprise...

Trump Posts Very Dark, Disturbing and Threatening Message on Truth Social and People are Disgusted

Right. Because even though the company is there, #MuskVirus feels his negative publicity would hurt a fair trial.

Fair enough. Except how is he somehow improving the public attitude towards him, writ large or in #Twitter ville / #Muskville ?
During our lifetimes? His lifetime? And why Texas?! Hah, the land of anti-wokism (read, anti #truth & #education) PLUS a place banning books which might offer, er, facts....science ... history... Anyhow:

Musk says he can't get fair trial in California, wants Texas 🤠

Elon Musk has urged a federal judge to shift a trial in a shareholder lawsuit out of San Francisco because he says negative local media coverage has biased potential jurors against him.
