kpete's Journal-- Bill Clinton. on CNN, on the death of Ken Starr.
“Well, I read the obituary, and I realized that his family loved him, and I think that’s something to be grateful for, and when your life is over that’s all there is to say. But I was taught not to talk about people that I — you know. I have nothing to say. Except I’m glad he died with the love of his family.”https://twitter.com/atrupar/status/1571512709707071488?s=20&t=nUsHbxlb8gfdhcYNCB9fdQ
This picture from Reuters really captures the maga cult.

"Blacks for Trump." ???
This is a photo of a group called “Blacks for Trump.” Posing next to them are members of the White Nationalist group called the “Proud Boys.” Some are holding up ‘White Power’ signs. People are entitled to vote against their own interests — but this is quite the juxtaposition.

1 of Trump's lawyers chosen to review classified info - registered as foreign agent to Maduro regime
One of Trump’s lawyers (the supposedly respectable one) registered as a foreign agent to represent the Maduro regime. The idea of turning classified documents over to him…
So Trump’s lawyer is representing the dictatorship in Venezuela from which those asylum-seekers were fleeing for their lives when they were kidnapped in Texas by the governor of Florida and dumped in Massachusetts? Got it …
Chris Kise, the attorney who turned over key documents in the ethics case against former Tallahassee Andrew Gillum, is now representing a member of the Nicolás Maduro government according to documents reviewed by Florida Politics.
Kise is listed on a Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) form to work on behalf of Venezuelan Attorney General Reinaldo Muñoz Pedroza. Muñoz Pedroza was appointed Attorney General by Maduro, though the United States no longer recognizes Maduro’s government as legitimate.
FARA requires individuals or firms doing work on behalf of a foreign principal to register with the U.S. government. Foley & Lardner, the law firm Kise works for, is listed as the registrant on the form received by the U.S. Department of Justice on Friday.

If Trump declassified docs in his mind, how do we know Biden hasn't reclassified them in *his*?

I feel like this part of DeSantis' migrant stunt has been under-explored. How did Fox News get first dibbs on video of the migrants disembarking in Martha's Vineyard? It sure looks like it came from DeSantis' staff.

When Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed voting restrictions last year, he gave exclusive access to this glorious spectacle to Fox News. It was a twofer for the national right-wing audience, flaunting his relish of voter suppression while sticking it to mainstream Fake News outlets in the process.
Now DeSantis has produced another made-for-Fox moment: He is taking credit for delivering two planeloads of migrants to Martha’s Vineyard, where locals are scrambling to meet their needs. DeSantis’s staff apparently supplied exclusive video of these heroics to Fox: It shows the migrants, some children, disembarking from planes, and then walking along a street, all in quiet, orderly fashion.
All this illustrates the methodical nature of DeSantis’s appeals to the national GOP primary electorate. And it illuminates the maneuverings behind his efforts to co-opt the MAGA movement, perhaps inevitably conflicting with MAGA overlord Donald Trump himself.

Who would have ever guessed they were horrible people at their core?
They didn’t send their best.
The U.S. Capitol attack was a crime unlike any in American history. But for some of the defendants accused of crimes related to the riot, it's only been the beginning of their legal troubles.
A CBS News review of U.S. Justice Department court filings shows a growing number of Jan. 6 defendants have been arrested again, for subsequent crimes involving guns, drugs and domestic abuse. The new charges complicate their ability to secure lenient sentences in their cases related to the rioting on Jan. 6, 2021, and they potentially jeopardize attempts by other Capitol riot defendants to secure pretrial releases in their cases.

The cruelty is the point. It's always been the point.
Imagine making a huge show of protecting kids from drag brunches and Harriet Tubman posters in classrooms, and then bragging/laughing about trafficking actual children to a random state with no plan as to how to feed or house them or give them medical carehttps://twitter.com/LEBassett/status/1570431340935516163?s=20&t=C0M5RkoXXHhGsq45GNFDAg
