Yet another mass murder, this time at a country & western bar that catered to college students. Something tells me that the shooter wasn’t a music critic. Nope, a Marine vet with symptoms of PTSD, including apparently a suicidal incident in his past. He was a Marine, though, so of course he should keep his weapons of mass destruction.
Trump’s Acting AG is a political hack put into the position specifically to kill the Mueller investigation. Just check out how blatantly unqualified this guy is. He’s a propagandist. Will Congress finally move to protect the investigation? Do pigs fly?
Even if Stacey Abrams doesn’t win against the election-rigger, her campaign has had yet another positive result. R Karen Handel concedes this morning.
I call bullshit on this piece from the Atlantic. A wholly-owned criminal conspiracy choosing the law over Trump? In what alternative reality?
What do you want to talk about today?
Dog Bites Man: Whitaker has no intention to recuse himself. Of course not. That’s why Trump appointed him:

Here’s a strong argument that the appointment of Whitaker is unconstitutional:

Like all Trump’s apparatchiks and cronies, Whitaker is a crook and a scammer.

As critical as I am of the News-Journal, I am absolutely THRILLED to see this living history from 95-year-old Arden resident June Kleban. She talks about helping to keep America fed as a ‘farmette’ during World War II in this article:

Everyone who knows June Kleban loves her. She is treasured by our community. Up until just a few years ago, she presided as the Witch at the annual Arden Halloween Party. One of a kind.
“California Bloodlines” = John Stewart album?
Yep. Here’s the song. Dave Alvin did a great version of it as well:

Sorry in advance for the stoopid that you are going to hear in the coming legislative sessions. Sussex Rs are set to be the minority leaders.
