Abbott actually did that in Texas. It didn't get him very far.

Ron Klain: "What makes America different than China is we are a free country, and people like Nancy Pelosi have the freedom to travel to Taiwan. That's what we are standing for around the world -- the choice between freedom and autocracy." pic.twitter.com/Sl92kH7L8K

No comment. Just liked it.

Biden: "I don't want any Kentuckian telling me 'you don't have to do this for me.' Oh yeah we do. You're an American citizen. We never give up ... alright, now, we're all gonna run laps." pic.twitter.com/mQ1VgbEtUi

I don't think a comparison to Trump at a disaster is even necessary, is it?

Biden lost Kentucky by 26 points. He works for Kentuckians all the same, as any solid president should. https://t.co/zTejbKGNhU

Alright, let's just rub it in.

It's so weird that you think common courtesy is a character flaw. https://t.co/e2M8HASByb

RNC Research is running out of material.

Hopefully we learn more about that. I can think of several things they were looking for, starting with classified documents and objects removed from the White House against federal laws.

Hey, everybody, maybe hang on and wait for some confirmation on that big FBI search warrant story before you start having seizures of delight, okay?

Yeah, there's that, too.

You can see I'm doing this as I go along. I do like the line that no POTUS has ever been searched by FBI before. Maybe an ex-POTUS has, though. Does he think this is a legal defense? Or is he just that delusional? After that it's just the usual "American carnage" and "poor, poor, pitiful me." Moving on.

They're ALL in on it. https://t.co/r6fX3O2uPu

The internet is all about money changing hands: for legitimate purchases; and grift. You decide which is which.

The center of the GOP coalition believes Jewish lizard people are going to make us all trans antifa socialist vegans or some such nonsense. https://t.co/34hPPWA3BK

The danger to democracy is finally identified!

Like millions of girls, I became obsessed w/ @olivianj when she starred in Grease, a movie I watched at least 40x's year. As a TCU Tri Delt, Grease was our rush theme. And, a fan of her album Xanadu from the ripe age of 4.
A cancer surivor + icon who used her voice for good. RIP https://t.co/p79B1vtV0h

Included just to make me feel old. I remember Olivia Neutron Bomb when she was singing country (where she started, ya punks!) She was the poor boy's Linda Ronstadt, sliding in her slipstream, as it were. Hell, she did the music video for "Physical" long before she did "Grease." Still, sorry to hear she's passed, especially since she wasn't that much older than me. Memento mori, and all that.
