Who here remembers the fuss over an ex-president possibly discussing an investigation into his wife with the AG because they talked before getting into a plane?

I bet REDSTATEWARD does. Cause he is so concerned with “principles.”

I must be too old - don't remember the Splits.  Looks like they first aired when I was around 12.  I feel like there's some parallel to the Monkees.  Y'know, bananas --> monkeys.

”At the individual voter level, fraud is so rare that it effectively does not exist.

What appears to have happened in North Carolina is a different problem: an organized and willful effort to tamper with ballots. Not voter fraud, but election fraud.This scheme tested North Carolina’s election integrity system, including chain of custody protections and other checks and balances — and that system succeeded. After all, the discrepancy was discovered through the due diligence of election officials.”

We’re about the same age but I remember that era of Saturday morning shows because my brother is eight years younger.

Hell, I thought the story was gonna say some septuagenarian actors we’re going down for murder.

We know the “who.” It’s the rea­son the story gath­ered na­tional at­ten­tion in the first place. . . . But we may not have much in­ter­est in the “why,” be­cause there can­not pos­si­bly be a jus­ti­fi­able rea­son to fab­ri­cate a story about be­ing as­saulted with a noose by al­leged racists.
At this point, the only ques­tion of im­por­tance is “what?” As in what will the LGBTQ com­mu­nity do with Jussie Smol­lett if his ac­count of be­ing at­tacked by big­ots in Jan­uary is not true.
I continue to hold a sliver of hope that the dots that continue to feel so far apart will eventually connect and the picture before us will show he was telling the truth all along.

CHICAGO -- "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett has been charged with one count of felony disorderly conduct for filing a false police report, the Cook County State's Attorney's Office said Wednesday evening.

Awaiting responses from Harris, Booker, et al.

Not staying up.


It’s a good day for the rule of law.
