This would be something:
I just blanked on this today. I’m sure some shit happened whilst we slumbered. Be a flowering and help me fill this shit in.

Did someone try to assassinate Brett Kavanaugh and I missed it? Tom Cotton is on tv talking about some left wing assassination attempt. Did it make the news?
Perhaps you forgot about it. It was four months ago.

There is a connection: Both these guys were suffering what I think the professionals call a “psychotic break with reality.”
I think these cases differ from Jan. 6 or the Michigan militia attempted kidnapping of the governor, which were involved conspiracies.
The guy called 911 on himself.
A man was arrested near Kavanaugh’s home. He was armed. Assassination attempt? Maybe
Not a goddam chance.

A protest at a Justice’s home and a violent kidnapping attempt are the same thing now I think.
False equivalency du jour
Happy NOvember and today’s reason to DELETE Pete! Pete has over $134,000 on hand, He decided this month to part with less than 1% of his war chest on his fellow democrats. He did make good choices $600 to Kerri and Russ. But his largess was miniscule. Who do you think he most egregiously skipped?
I’ll go with Frank Burns.
Pete needs to take his cash and begone!
Windfall tax is an empty threat. Maybe a half-hearted attempt at GOTV among those who favor windfall tax? Somewhere Joe Manchin is snickering.
He should have made a big deal about it in April and given the Dems in close races something to run on. Oh Well.
With seconds left on the clock, Chief Justice Roberts kneels down on the play to end the game:

That’s fucked up. Totally predicable. But fucked up
But… But…. Wegmans!
Let me tell all my nice fellow progressives about Wegmans. In ’74hen I was a pretty green International Rep for the UFCW I was involved in a union election campaign on Wegmans in their hometown of Rochester. They used every blatant unfair labor practice and union busting tactic available and cleaned our clock. they have never slowed down on their anti-union over the past 50 years. But enjoy the sushi, and your lunches and the well-stocked gourmet meat, cheese and seafood. They will keep screwing their workers. Love it or hate it Acme is a union shop!
Look on the brightside, when republicans are fully in charge and have arrested all democrats for treason we wont have to deal with political ads on the tv every 2 years and all the signs up all over the place. thank god, i am tired of all this political theatre.
I honestly had no idea that was episode was what Cotton was talking about.
It is amazing, really. Whatever criminal mischief or malfeasance a MAGAT gets caught perpetrating, the GOP noise machine can find an equivalent instance of some liberal criminal mischief or malfeasance within 2 hours.
“Equivalent” is debatable but they can dilute all criminal activity and the media plays along very merrily. Trump could kill someone on 5th Ave and the media will run with, “Yeah, but remember when Obama killed that guy?”
