So where are all the other Republicans in Congress? Do they see the J6 incarcerated as toxically radioactive that they can't even stand up for their rights as Americans? 

No need to answer. It's clear.

I really can do without breakfast food photos today, as my stomach is growling... I skipped breakfast, on purpose, because my works minions and I are having our holiday lunch today, at a restaurant that's famous for filling one up with lots of food.

In related news, I've proposed to them that next year, we should take advantage of the same occasion to have an "ugly holiday sweater/sweatshirt contest";  and they seem amenable to the idea.

What they don't realize is: I've already won.

I worked for a company that did that. The CEO might have been the instigator. I never participated.

Who needs state control of the media when the MSM is willingly slanting their stories?

    According to CNN’s media newsletter, the Biden administration is meeting with journalists “behind the scenes” to change the way they are covering the supply chain crisis and other economic issues that have been hurting Biden’s approval ratings.

    “The White House, not happy with the news media’s coverage of the supply chain and economy, has been working behind the scenes trying to reshape coverage in its favor,” reports Oliver Darcy at CNN. “Senior White House and admin officials — including NEC Deputy Directors David Kamin and Bharat Ramamurti, along with Ports Envoy John Porcari — have been briefing major newsrooms over the past week, a source tells me.”

    “The officials have been discussing with newsrooms trends pertaining to job creation, economic growth, supply chains, and more,” Darcy continued. “The basic argument that has been made: That the country’s economy is in much better shape than it was last year. I’m told the conversations have been productive, with anchors and reporters and producers getting to talk with the officials…”

It's too bad "American" doesn't scan as a substitute for "British" in the following old and well-worn verse.  Maybe "...the U.S. journalist..."?

You cannot hope to bribe or twist---

Thank God!---the British journalist.  

But, seeing what the man will do

Unbribed, there's no occasion to.

Yes, it's never about fixing the actual problems, because that's hard. It's always easier to change the reporting. And we just can't go back and do what Trump did, because he was mean and nasty.

Nice.

We're having a pot luck tomorrow, along with hot chocolate, decorating paper stocking, and a grab bag gift exchange. I have to make deviled eggs tonight,  but I basically get tomorrow off.

Seriously, have fun and enjoy it.

Teen allegedly rapes elderly woman at Waukesha Public Library

Sorry to ruin everyone's Holiday festivities but what the hell in going on in Wisconsin?  Please, please, please let Illinois take ownership of Milwaukee.  Heck, you can have pretty much from Fond du lac on down.

"One of our sources claimed some in the system are worried about “BLM outrage” if the boy, who is black, is charged as an adult. However, we’ve also learned that Waukesha police want him charged as an adult. That decision will ultimately be made by Waukesha County District Attorney Sue Opper’s office." from wisconsinrightnow.com

Gee, I wonder how she'll decide to charge him.

Isn't it racist to call a black man "boy"?/

BLM can fuck right off. I don't see them doing a damn thing about black crime except encouraging more of it.
