Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders said a fast response by first responders might have saved lives during the mass shooting in Fordyce.”

@GottaLaff It seems that every day the U.S. resets the "it's too soon after the shooting to discuss gun control" clock.

😫Judge in Case Rejected Suggestions to Step Aside

Two federal judges in South privately urged Aileen M. to decline the case when it was assigned to her last year, according to two people briefed on the matter. She chose to keep it.

@GottaLaff From the NYT article: "her critics have suggested that she could be in over her head, in the tank for Mr. Trump — or both."

I can't believe I even have to say this, but it is not normal that the Supreme Court is taking its sweet time to decide if a former president is immune from prosecution for inciting an insurrection to overturn an election. This should have been decided already. The answer is no!

@rbreich Three of the U.S. Supreme Court Justices were appointed by Trump. Two of the others are Alito and Thomas. A delay helps Trump.

<Sarcasm font>I’m shocked, SHOCKED, that they’re helping Trump.</sarcasm font>

Another day, another apology from me for staying offline a lot and not replying to you.

I'm still sloooowwwly improving, but weak and still feeling that anxiety thing.

It'll all pass, but in the meantime, hi and bye.

Tons to do to settle in here, and no energy.

Hugs to all.

@GottaLaff The web will still be here when you get back. Taking care of yourself is more important.

@GottaLaff That's a good policy. I notice from your bio that you have at least a partial Canadian background. It's a little known fact that we (I'm Canadian) can have our passport revoked if we're not polite.

@GottaLaff And yet again the clock gets reset in the United States on "It's too soon after the tragedy to talk about gun control."

Add to the list…

👉🏼👉🏼“ Justice took 3 undisclosed trips aboard private jet provided by Republican megadonor Harlan Crow between 2017 & 2021, according to docs obtained by the Senate Judiciary Committee and released Thursday.

The records, which Crow turned over to the committee, show that Thomas traveled aboard Crow's private jet in May 2017 on a flight from St. Louis, Missouri, to Kalispell, Montana, with a return flight to Dallas two days later”

@GottaLaff Oh, c’mon. He probably just forgot about those trips. You can’t expect Clarence Thomas to be able to remember ALL of his corruption. No one’s memory is good enough to hold THAT much in it.

Via Kyle Griffin:

Donald is in breach of a British High Court order to pay £300,000 in legal costs to Christopher Steele, the former MI6 agent who compiled the Steele document.

Steele tells Sky News that Trump has been in breach of the judge's order "for two months now." https://news.sky.com/story/donald-trump-in-breach-of-300-000-legal-costs-ruling-after-losing-uk-dossier-case-against-former-mi6-spy-13148972

@GottaLaff f Convicted Felon Donald , who was cited for contempt of court 10 times during his trial, didn't pay court adjudicated costs. Now, there's a shocker.

Trump's not running for office so much as running from the law.

@rbreich Trump sees the prize of the election as a "get out of jail free" card.

34 felony convictions
54 pending criminal charges
2 impeachments
2 popular vote losses
$88M owed to E Jean Carroll
$450M owed for civil fraud
$8T added to nat'l debt
2.9M net loss of jobs

Is this what Trump meant when he promised "numbers like we've never seen"?

@rbreich And yet, the MAGA cult still won't turn against Trump because, to them, Dear Leader can do no wrong.
