Today is National Toilet Paper Day
No shit?
And now, a favorite quote from the opinion sanctioning the scumbucket "Kraken" lawyers who filed and pursued that frivolous election contest lawsuit in a Michigan-based federal court:
The shitbags in question get to pay all the attorney fees incurred by Detroit and the state of Michigan. The judge also order them to take remedial CLE and announced that she'll be reporting said shitbags to attorney disciplinary authorities in the jurisdictions where the shitbags are authorized to practice.
They'll all be hiding in Mike Lindell's hotel room with Tina before this is over.
" . . . The Aristocrats!!"
#MarksMusings from Kit Carson County (pop. 7,447) seems to be very selective in the summary of his historical account of how we got here. His schtick plays well with a minority of Coloradans but it's almost like he's forgotten about the 600,000 dead Americans from a botched response to a global pandemic. You don't have to imagine, Mark.
PS: more Americans will die in the next three days from COVID than died on 9/11.
Afghanistan debacle will haunt U.S.
News from Yahoo: two suicide bombings in Kabul kill American marines, Afghan civilians, and Taliban guards. ISIS considered to be the culprit.
I read that earlier this morning. It’s reportedly ISIS-K (the Afghan chapter of ISIS) who don’t think the Taliban are rigid enough on enforcing Sharia law. How are we going to stop a bad guy with a suicide vest who thinks there are 70-some virgins awaiting him in heaven?
The most recent number is 12 US dead, 120 Afghans.
I read somewhere years ago about a British tactic when they were confronted with a terrorist uprising during the Palestine Mandate between the two world wars. They put out a notice that any terrorist killed would be buried in a shroud made of pig skin, meaning they don’t go to paradise to meet Allah and all those human virgin females. That largely ended the attacks.
On a happier note, in addition to still being in Haiti feeding the people wiped out by the hurricane, World Central Kitchen has set up and is feeding refugees at Dulles as they wait to discover where they will start their new lives.https://wck.org/news
An interesting take on the current state of the Republicans, found in The Atlantic article by Peter Wehner:
I wonder if Boebert wants to be showing up Trump as "ordinary."
Reps. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) and "Gym" Jordan (R-OH) are also in that group.
