Continuing this flippant series of hilarious eBooks exploiting the apparent inability of the writers & editors of today's "Tricky Headlines" to compose clear, unambiguous copy--Puzzlement, amazement, outrage, and the humor of their folly, silliness, ambiguity, injustice, intent to deceive, along with all the rest of it. Intended for an adult audience (think of these items as comics without the graphics). Every collection suitable to be the ideal reading companion for any seated occasion.

You can a rate & review of the Tricky Headlines at Amazon.com, but note the two reviews already there: One verified purchaser of an ebook wrote a four star review saying he/she found it a "funny take on news" although cautioning it is not "very politically correct." While a reviewer named "Clara" (who doesn't appear to have bought the book) writes ungrammatically that "she" found its writing: "So. Horribly. Written. So poorly written. The world is dumber with this book’s publication” as if Tricky Headlines were Tolstoy and not standup--beside leaving one wondering how "Clara" could review a book "she" could never have read, of course. [Reads a bit like Trump, doesn't it.] But don't be a clairvoyant like "Clara." Buy a book and THEN review it.

Anderson Cooper: Donald Trump’s Latest Coronavirus Ploy Is 1 Of His Most Offensive Yet
When Trump begins claiming that there is no proof whatsoever anyone in the United States, NO ONE, has EVER died of Covid-19 (as Trump is surely bound to start doing sooner or later)... I wonder just how many people outside his 'base' will think that Trump has finally spoken the truth for the first time ever in his entire life? It will be a VERY interesting thing to watch. [I'm sure Trump's base will believe him, of course, as they usually do--even the family members of those who die. But let's see how many others do.]

Moderna vaccine shows promising early results
However, if Moderna's 'vaccine' were somehow to be in cahoots via Moncef Slaoui with the Trump administration wouldn't it make sense to believe that this so-called 'magical' vaccine is really only a hoax designed solely to make those who take it believe they can now go out & hob-nob with all the mobs in the world without fear of getting sick... just like Trump is demanding Americans do no matter how many lives it cost them...?

‘Art Of The Deal’ Co-Author Spells Out Why Coronavirus Deaths ‘Don’t Matter’ To Trump -- Donald Trump’s former ghostwriter declared Friday that the president really doesn’t care about the deaths resulting from the coronavirus pandemic because he has “no conscience” and is solely motivated by the need to dominate. “The deaths, I know this is extreme, the deaths don’t matter to him,” Schwartz concluded, in reference to the nationwide 88,000 death toll from the pandemic. “If it’s this decision between saving himself and saving others, it is no contest.”

Trump Fires State Department Inspector General in Latest Broadside Against Watchdogs
Ya don't blame a dog for barking. This is foremost the fault of Congress for giving Trump the right to fire the cops investigating his crimes: What Congress should have done & should do NOW is to frame the Inspectors General laws so that they work for the Courts [or the Congress] and not for the president so a criminal like Trump can't fire them for trying to keep them honest.

****************************************************
Trump’s continually strange comments on possibly ‘overrated’ coronavirus testing - Two days later, President Trump offered a very different view of testing, repeatedly suggesting that it’s “overrated” and that doing too much testing can needlessly drive up the infection numbers. “When you test, you have a case,” Trump said: “When you test, you find something is wrong with people. If we didn’t do any testing, we would have very few cases.”
ALSO: "If we were to simply stop treating people made sick by it we'd find nobody was ever made sick by this virus. And if we just stopped counting those who die from this virus nobody would ever die of it!" [Ah! At last I'm beginning to understand the 'magic cure' being touted by the Trump Family Mafia! Aren't we lucky to have them in complete charge of our fate at this moment! Thank you, Senate Republicans.]
Eric Trump claims coronavirus is Democratic hoax, will ‘magically’ vanish after 2020 election
By early this month, Trump said during an event with Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds (R) that doing so much testing “makes us look bad.” -- “So the media likes to say we have the most cases, but we do, by far, the most testing,” Trump said. “If we did very little testing, we wouldn’t have the most cases. So, in a way, by doing all of this testing, we make ourselves look bad.”
Sure. Let the suckers out there take their chances. It's what suckers were born to do in Trump's World, after all. [Trump and his Mafia pals are all tested & re-tested daily themselves every one though--most especially of all Trump and all those closest to the big bleeding heart.]

****************************************************
Biden says he would revoke permit for Keystone pipeline -- President Trump authorized the project after it was blocked by President Obama. If completed, the pipeline would help carry some 830,000 barrels of crude oil a day from Canada to Texas.
Well, we all know if there's one thing Texas needs is more oil crude. It's not as if the pipeline is risking the lives & health of millions of Americans along its route just so a few billionaires can throw a few extra unneeded billions atop their already sky-high piles of cash! [Right?]

Experts: Trump's Threats to WHO Could Undercut Global Health
But isn't Trump constantly saying that the coronavirus hasn't killed enough people? [Yes: Every time somebody claims it's killed too many it's like a slap in his face.] So it makes sense then that Trump would want the WHO's fight against the virus shut down.
Trump’s rage at a Fox News anchor contains a key tell
Could there be a 'reasonable' explanation for Trump's callous disregard for the lives of Americans during his pandemic? ["Damn Americans dying by the tens of thousands just to make poor Trump look bad. Damn them! Damn them all to Hell!"] Oh... there might be.
The WHO has been more effective at fighting the coronavirus than Trump has. No wonder he hates it.

White House Press Secretary Goofs Up, Broadcasts Trump’s Banking Details -- Trump vowed during his campaign that he would donate his salary each year. Critics have accused him of collecting far more from customers of his private businesses who spend large amounts to curry favor with Trump and to win favorable federal treatment or contracts. U.S. taxpayers have also been stuck with the price tag for Trump’s frequent trips to his private golf resorts that serve to publicize those operations. As of February, Trump’s golf trips cost the public $133.8 million, the equivalent of 334 years of his salary, according to an analysis by HuffPost.
Actually collecting $133.8 million from the suckers while convincing them you're giving them peanuts is what separates a flim-flam man from a stickup robber. [from the best-selling The Art of The Steal by U. Nohoo]

Trump is like a toddler who can't help reveal to everyone he lies to that he is lying. How a guy with no brains like Trump got to be president of the United States is something straight out of the Peter Sellers film Being There (and shows us the very scary perils of great wealth).

Trump’s purge of inspectors general is alarming.

Buffalo Mayor Says Police Union Is ‘On The Wrong Side Of History’
Those 57 policemen need to make up their minds whether they are loyal to each other or dedicated to enforcing the laws designed to protect the citizens of Buffalo. If they're just going to be loyal to each other perhaps they might be better off quitting the police department and organizing themselves into a criminal gang so they can then go around robbing and killing people until they're finally brought to justice by true officers of the law. Certainly the citizens of Buffalo would be better off with policemen who are actually committed to observing & enforcing the laws designed to protect them.
Buffalo Police Arraigned for Felony Assault, Elderly Protestor Still Critical -- More than 100 police officers, firefighters and other supporters crowded outside the courthouse in Buffalo to protest the assault charges filed against the officers.
If I were a citizen of Buffalo I think I might feel better if those officers sought employment elsewhere... some place that doesn't mind them placing a higher value on their own camaraderie than on their sworn sacred duty to the citizens who pay them to keep them safe.
The persons responsible for that self-evident lie were engaging in an egregious cover-up by those whom we trust most to establish the facts. And at the least they should all be immediately removed from the police department to make sure that in the future the public can have trust in those who are charged with protecting them.
The men and women who make the conscious deliberate choice to join the police are from the git-go choosing to hold themselves to a higher standard and ought to therefore always be called to & held to those higher standards--most especially of all when they fail to live up to them.
Trump draws rebukes for suggesting 75-year-old protester pushed to the ground in Buffalo was part of a ‘set up’ -- “We’re at a loss to understand why the president of the United States would make such a dark, dangerous and untrue accusation against him,” the protester’s lawyer said.
Well, I'm certainly not: If Trump came out with 'Mother Teresa was a ho' the only thing I would be at a loss to explain is why he hadn't smeared the sainted nun before. [If you don't know the guy you don't know the guy.]

The movie also depicts stereotypes which are (and should be) insulting to a modern audience--and which any & all public shows should warn against (and probably discuss in an adequate preamble). But, all in all, however insulting it may be to so many people black & white, it is still a masterpiece of art and must be preserved and displayed even if perhaps only in a museum... like all those other naked depictions in said museums (which also outrage lots of folks).

And he also knew his name & had his car. The cops could have gone to his house at any time & picked him up there once he sobered up after having run away. But instead that cop just shot him to death. In the back. Knowing the guy wasn't thinking straight. I have no idea what could have possibly been going through this cop's head, but it's a human failing which I don't think rules & disciplines & police academy instruction can cure. I believe what will eventually ameliorate all these failings by so many members of our police is just better department vetting of who becomes a cop: Most certainly with much more intensive and professional use of competent psychiatrists & other mental health experts than is used today... in police departments where far too many times if you just know somebody you're in.

Thomas Jefferson Descendant Calls For Removal Of His Famous Ancestor’s Statues
This raises an interesting question: To whom should we raise or maybe never raise statues in the first place?
What resulted from Columbus's great discovery is us. Everything you see here in the Americas good and bad--The greatness and the places where our dark souls live here even to this day. It is far more useful to look to our human failings in all our selves than in just only a few of us. Would democracy be what we think of it today if the United States had never existed? Would we have never known slavery? The world has always had slavery as far back as you wish to trace the sorry steps of man: Even Africa had a long established tribal social system of slavery before Columbus which made it preferable to acquire slaves from Africa than to enslave native Americans who, not having such a social system, only understood slavery as mere spiteful torture by the European conquerors and died almost to a man refusing to remain enslaved.
Should we condemn Martin Luther King for his human failings or still celebrate him for the great things he did? We will never know whether had George Washington been a much younger man he might have chosen to become king instead of president, as many of his troops demanded.
And would we have been better off without Jefferson?
I am one of those who believes that: No. We would not have been better off without Jefferson and Columbus. Therefore I do not believe we should be toppling their statues: In spite of the griefs they brought to a lot of us the magnitude of the good they brought to the world of men far outshines those griefs. If necessary, add the essential comments to their memorials to complete their truths. But memorialize them we still must because it is our duty to the truth.
In every case it is always our duty to uphold the truth no matter whom it may hurt or embarrass. But it is also our duty not to leave our truths only half-told.
Would we have been better of without Stonewall Jackson? Yes. Would we have been better off without Ulysses S. Grant? No. And now you know whose statue should go up somewhere and whose statue ought never to go up anywhere men memorialize their forebears.

They even work diligently to recycle our garbage; and spread diseases with almost as much zeal as we do ourselves! Truthfully: Why there has never been a team named after them I'll never know.

Facebook, in a possible reversal, considers banning political ads near the U.S. election -- The company continues to grapple with a large advertising boycott, employee unrest and other issues related to its policies on hate speech and misinformation, according to a person familiar with the company’s thinking.
One of the best outcomes of the current upheavals.
The Facebook boycott is illiberal. Who has the courage to oppose it? -- John Stuart Mill wrote that “If all mankind minus one were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind.”
I believe we have grown slightly more subtle than Mill's sweeping generalization: I have never been nor am I likely to ever be against speech that offends, but speech that misleads is an entirely different thing:
Speech that misleads is self-evidently designed to harm others without any positive outcome to anyone whatsoever (except on occasions, for the entirely selfish benefit of those who perversely craft it). And speech that misleads 'for the good' is usually even more diabolical.
It is one thing for Trump to say he doesn't like the measures that are being taken to save lives in this pandemic, but it is quite another thing when he says that testing doesn't save lives (or even implies it). To dispute reality is not free speech, it is lying. And lying should always carry at least a disclaimer.
If someone tells but half the story (implying it's the whole of it) then it's the duty of anyone who can to finish telling that story to the fullest. Although, yes, censoring people who only tell half the story cuts off any possibility that the storyteller has only begun to tell his story. That's why most forms of censorship (except those designed to save us from real harm) are undesirable. Mankind should always give everyone the benefit of the doubt, but giving the benefit of the doubt to a self-evident lie is unimaginably perilous.

Having somebody tell you to break the law does not excuse your guilt: There are specific military rules against following an illegal command.

The federal officers who broke the law in Portland, Oregon [for whatever reason] should be identified and brought to a court of law to answer for their acts of criminal wrongdoing. [Violating someone's civil rights is an extremely serious crime in this country.] That's what our courts are for. The extent of their punishment should rest solely on the seriousness of the crimes they committed, and not on which celebrity might have told them to commit them. [Always, ALWAYS, before breaking the law or even thinking about doing so: consult a lawyer.]
And remember that by the time your case gets to court Trump might not be there to pardon you.

This will have to go to the courts, and if it lands with a GOP Dred Scott'er judge then tough luck for those 'persons who are not human beings.'

Trump Seeks To Go It Alone After Coronavirus Stimulus Talks Break Down
Now it seems as if it's the Democrats who are pushing ways & means to make things better in the country while the Republicans are trying everything they can to make things even worse just before the election: Maybe they're not sold on the idea of Donald Trump being reelected after all. Perhaps Trump should consider becoming a Democrat and giving Joe Biden a run for his money that way.
Some people familiar with Trump’s thinking said the president is preternaturally averse to difficult challenges that don’t produce immediate results. -- “He’s just not oriented towards things that even in the short term look like they’re involving something that’s hard or negative or that involves sacrifice or pain,” a former senior administration official explained. “He is always anxious to get to a place of touting achievements and being the messenger for good news.”

Trump has repeatedly damaged the nation's most important line of defense against all her enemies foreign & domestic: the American intelligence community.
Trump has degraded the State Department and insulted & humiliated our diplomats abroad.
Trump has politicized the Department of Justice and sought to make it complicit in his criminality.
Trump has destroyed the confidence of our greatest allies in America and emboldened & even promoted the most anti-democratic dictators in the world.
Trump has taken every opportunity to abuse his employment in the service of the American people to disgracefully line his own pockets.
Trump has tried to demonize entire segments of the American society in order to promote himself by raising the racial fears of other segments of the population.
Trump has viciously sought to destroy Americans' trust in the free press.
Trump has thought nothing of causing (promoting) the gruesome deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans in order to create as much chaos as possible by November just to remain in power.
Please don't tell me that this is just another average run-of-the-mill corrupt politician--Donald Trump is very probably the most egregious criminal in American history. Is it really any wonder that he cheats on his wife (and has an obnoxiously toxic opinion of women)? That he's a notorious tax cheat? That he cheats & lies shamefully to the American people? That he cheats everybody unfortunate enough to do business with him or to work for him, discarding & disposing of them without a care for their humanity or how much he might hurt or damage them, while stabbing any of them in the back?
This is a man who when he suffers the worst defeat in the history of presidential elections will still try to tell you that he really won--Will there still be anyone out there self-loathing or gullible enough to believe such a man?
You can't expect Donald Trump to punish himself (although he probably does plenty of that in ways that he himself doesn't even suspect). This is a criminal who has mocked & for years has frustrated the laws we live by. And, for the sake of the soul of this country, he must have a reckoning.
Joe Biden and the Democrats must find it in themselves to understand that if we let Donald Trump get away with his countless crimes they no less than Trump have undermined the rule of law and the American way of life we have enjoyed up to the advent of Donald Trump.
Joe Biden, his administration, as well as the American people must all seek in themselves the intestinal fortitude to pursue justice against every last participant in Donald Trump's string of startling crimes against us: Trump is a vicously unique criminal on the American scene and if we want him to be a once-in-a-lifetime (or, preferably, a one-time only) aberration in the history of this nation we must mercilessly seek to institute any number of very strict new laws specifically designed to patch-up the many cracks in the system Trump, his henchmen, and his enablers have taken advantage of to take advantage of the rest of us.
Donald Trump had attacked everything that is good about America and defended her most dangerous enemies as well as our worst social ills. There has to be a good reason for that, and Joe Biden and the Democrats must get to the bottom of it or it will happen to us again and again.

Why Trump so often says the quiet part out loud
But this means that all his lieutenants and enablers, all the henchmen and associates who have ever worked for him or conspired with him know every last detail of every one of Trump's crimes. This makes it incumbent upon law enforcement to sooner or later persuade as many of those who are or who have ever been complicit in Donald Trump's crimes to turn state's evidence and testify against him so that he is punished to the fullest extent of the law.
Miles Taylor’s very serious allegations against Trump, explained
True, no punishment can never make up for the devastation Donald Trump has inflicted on this nation, but prosecuting him for a few of them will at the least ensure that future would-be dictators & Trump-like malefactors understand the risks of undertaking their crimes.

Congress should pass a law that specifies treason against the United States as a crime which a president can not pardon.

The crimes against the United States of America which Donald Trump stands suspected of are monstrous and must face a reckoning in a court of law.

Trump showed no respect for time limits, human decency or the truth
I especially loved the confidence with which Trump just kept inventing stuff right out of his head to make himself look good regardless of what planet (or universe) he happened to be on: He saved football, he paid 'millions' in taxes, he has 'relatively little debt' (like we don't already HAVE his tax records), he's better for African-Americans, his 'poll-watchers' were thrown out of Philadelphia voting places, Obama was spying on him, and, of course, the Sheriff of Portland has endorsed him:

I don't quite view it that way: Every now & again we ought to stumble over the unpredictable roadblocks of life just in order to locate them and thereby perhaps to finally remove them once & for all. Democracy is something no one should take for granted and Trump has been a kind of challenge to democracy--a warning that because democracy will never be a smooth going we must at all times keep our eyes on the road: Trump has been a most stark reminder that democracy should never be taken for granted and that every generation must work very hard to keep democracy for itself or it will be lost to them even here in the United States of America.

The Swamp That Trump Built -- More than 70 advocacy groups, businesses and foreign governments threw events at the president’s properties that were previously held elsewhere, or created new events that drove dollars into Mr. Trump’s business. -- Mr. Trump attended 34 fund-raisers held at his hotels and resorts, events that brought his properties another $3 million in revenue. Sometimes, he lined up his donors to ask what they needed from the government. -- Chances were good he’d be around. The president has visited his resorts and hotels on nearly 400 days since his inauguration, according to a tally kept by The Times. -- At Mar-a-Lago, he told longtime members that he ought to raise prices on the new crowd angling to join. Then he did — at least twice — bringing the initiation fee to a quarter-million dollars, according to a membership application. -- Just belonging to one of Mr. Trump’s clubs could give members an inside track on administration policy. Mr. Trump consulted them on U.S.-Chinese relations and veterans’ health care. He offered five members ambassadorships and appointed others to advisory roles in his administration. -- In addition to AAR Corp., the Times analysis showed that more than 100 other companies that wanted something from the federal government also patronized Trump properties.

Campbell noted that
one of the most penetrating comments on Trump’s character in 2016 came from none other than Ted Cruz, who described him as a sociopath, who wholeheartedly believed whatever he happened to be saying at the time.
It’s quite likely, Campbell continued,
that Trump is not deliberately “lying” in his recent statements, that he genuinely believes that evil forces are conspiring to steal an election that he actually won.
On that note, Ted Cruz’s remarks about Trump in May 2016, which appear in sharp contrast to his sycophancy now, capture the essence of our president — and why the combination of this man and this historic moment, is so worrying:
This man is a pathological liar. He doesn’t know the difference between truth and lies. He lies practically every word that comes out of his mouth. And in a pattern that I think is straight out of a psychology textbook, his response is to accuse everybody else of lying.
He accuses everybody on that debate stage of lying. And it’s simply a mindless yell. Whatever he does, he accuses everyone else of doing. The man cannot tell the truth, but he combines it with being a narcissist. A narcissist at a level I don’t think this country has ever seen.
Everything in Donald’s world is about Donald. And he combines being a pathological liar, and I say pathological because I actually think Donald, if you hooked him up to a lie-detector test, he could say one thing in the morning, one thing at noon and one thing in the evening, all contradictory and he’ll pass the lie detector test each time. Whatever lie he’s telling, at that minute he believes it.
Cruz added:
Bullies don’t come from strength, bullies come from weakness. Bullies come from a deep, yawning cavern of insecurity.
The fact that Trump does not care about the scope of the mayhem he creates — that he revels in anarchic conflagration — creates exceptional danger.

Trump’s Final Days of Rage and Denial
Trump’s ‘Stupid’ Gov. Kemp Call ‘Bordered On Criminality’: Former Senate Leader Harry Reid
Trump is performing his misery [his miserable Last Act] exactly as everyone who was interested in revenge would have loved he would.
I may be naive, but I don't think it would really have occurred to Nixon to become a dictator. Trump, on the other hand, was not only actively trying to become America's dictator but not a benevolent dictator. Had Trump not been such an incompetent moron and become our master he would have unleashed such a bloodbath on the American People the thought of it makes me shudder!
I actually felt pity for Nixon. But, Trump is such an out-and-out unabashed unrepentant criminal that I don't feel the least guilt admitting I am quite enjoying Trump's anguished cries of pain.
The best outcome for this nation is that Trump finally is brought to a proper court of law and is convicted as a rapist and for all his other crimes then sent to prison for the rest of his life. That's probably the only thing that will finally erase his luster in the eyes of his most sick and craven followers.
Donald Trump is hands down the most prolific mass murderer in America's history. He did not simply 'just let it happen' like some unpreventable inevitability out of sheer ignorance or neglect (because he was maybe too busy out playing golf). No. He intentionally directed that it happen for perceived personal gain. And that is the perfect definition of first degree murder--This monstrosity Trump has confessed to not only to Bob Woodward but in countless public statements because Donald Trump is simply too dense to grasp the simple fact that while he cannot be prosecuted for his crimes while in office he can certainly be prosecuted for them after he leaves office. Either that or he was planning to remain in office permanently.
Trump: Millions Of Americans Getting COVID-19 Is ‘Terrific’ And A ‘Powerful Vaccine’
But, in any case, I don't hear any clamor out there for bringing Donald Trump to justice. And if the families of those he murdered are happy to live with it, who am I to raise a ruckus over it? I've got ears to clean & toe nails to clip.
I wonder whether Kemp said he would not do it even if he had the power to? Well, in any case...
Trump is facing financial ruin and perhaps even prison, so it's quite understandable that he should be running around like a trapped rat trying every possible door, window, or painting hanging of the wall... for an exit. More power to him.

Lawmakers Who Backed Texas Lawsuit Should Be Barred From House: NJ Congressman
Twitter Critics Shred GOP Lawmakers Who Shot Themselves In The Foot For Trump
"Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-N.J.) has called on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to bar 126 GOP representatives from the House, arguing that their support for the failed, baseless Texas lawsuit seeking to hijack the presidential election violated the Constitution by seeking to nullify Americans’ votes and instead choose a “dictator.” He cited Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, enacted after the Civil War and designed to keep traitors out of government. The section prohibits anyone who had gone to war against the union or given aid and comfort to the nation’s enemies from running for federal or state office."
Republicans had a duty not only to follow faithfully the letter of the law but also the spirit of the law--and that one fateful duty all these Republicans refused to do when they placed failed hotelier Donald Trump above their oaths of allegiance to the Constitution. This slew of Republicans can never again be trusted to faithfully serve in the Congress of The United States of America.
Section 3 of the 14th Amendment says: "No person who has engaged in or supported insurrection or rebellion against the United States may hold public office."
The remedy to this treasonous Republican madness is for the House to put into action Section 3 of the 14th Amendment of the Constitution and refuse to seat members who did not accept the election and "actively" worked to overthrow it. Then governors of their respective states can appoint someone to serve their terms until a special election is held--in which elections none of these current members may participate.
This will not happen. Why? [And "why did so many Republicans jump on board with what Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro aptly described as 'this seditious abuse of the judicial process' (17 of 26 Republican state attorneys general, nearly two-thirds of House Republicans, 106 on Thursday, 20 more on Friday, including the minority leader, Kevin McCarthy (Calif.)?)...?"]
Why not? Because while the Republicans would gladly kill them all where they stand, the Democrats will always be more than glad to forgive the Republicans--And the Republicans know it.
But if it continues like this, my friends, one of the two must eventually end up being killed--And the Republicans know it.
If the Democrats don't play Republican hard-ball now they will just be encouraging the Republicans to come at them even harder still the next time.
GOP Congressman: We Need The Senate To Investigate Hunter Biden
Republicans were once the anti-radicals. They’re now battering American democracy. -- "But a party that elevated Donald Trump from Manhattan’s class clown to the U.S. presidency no longer has any use for the likes of Kirk, Edmund Burke or William F. Buckley. -- For four years, Republicans averted their eyes as Trump broke the law, defied constitutional norms, trashed governing traditions, dehumanized political opponents and further radicalized a party that had long ago become unmoored from conservative tradition — and yet that proved to be but a preview of worse things to come. Now, Republican leaders are either actively engaged in sedition against the United States or offering their silent support to a president furiously working to overturn an election."
Now we know that if a viciously competent GOP leader were to stage a genuinely serious coup against the people of America these Republican partisans would no doubt be the members of our government giving aid and comfort to the death of the American Nation. We need patriots to be at the ready in our government, not traitors in waiting like these Republicans!

Dominion voting machine firm sues Giuliani for more than $1.3 billion
Free speech is the ability to freely express your opinion no matter whom it may offend. Therefore it should be hard to prove that someone has been harmed just because he took offence at somebody else's opinion.
Libel is the willful hurting of someone. Therefore it should be easy to prove that someone has been harmed by a libel.
Giuliani wasn’t just a Trump partisan but a shrewd marketer of vitamins, gold, lawsuit says
Free speech is not the same as lying: When lying in public always try to be as certain (or, at least as certain as you can) that your lies cannot be easily proven (to be lies). Trump, Sidney Powell, Giuliani, L. Lin Wood, and the rest of the very stupid GOP liars simply disregarded this important rule. So now they have to pay the consequences of libeling a lot of people. And of having done so in rather easily Court-provable libels.

Let them then, on a case by case basis, be re-admitted provided they swear fealty to the Constitution above fealty to Trump.
I think the Democrats should spew out more bombastic loud crazy rhetoric to match the Republicans': This crap works for the GOP and it will work for the Democrats just as effectively. And whenever the Republicans lie about the Democrats, I say let the Democrats lie as much about the Republicans.
And do this until even the Republicans start calling for truth from politicians, and practicing it themselves.

So somebody told her that democrats were eating babies and she was like, "Really? Wow! Everybody knows this?" [Anybody ask Greene who was it controlled what she could/could not believe? I wonder.]

Donald Trump is going to be acquitted not because he's guilty or innocent but because the Republican jurors know they will be paid off [by being reelected if they acquit him]. And this is the important point that Americans must be shown by this trial.

It is a mystifying sight indeed to watch them go out into the noonday Sun to cash their government paychecks naked in their hairy guilt so shamelessly!
If Republicans won’t convict, bring on the handcuffs.
Trump acquitted on impeachment charge of inciting deadly attack on the Capitol
The Senate got smoking-gun evidence of Trump’s guilt. Most Republicans didn’t care.
Trump left them to die. 43 Senate Republicans still licked his boots.

GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger’s Family Really Doesn’t Like His Criticism Of Donald Trump
Welcome to the club: I too have dear beloved relatives who have been brainwashed by Evangelists for years now. I dare not bring up anything controvertial in our conversations because, frankly, I would hate to find out that some of them are convinced the earth is flat. Something which is not entirely out of the question in cases like theirs, believe me.

McConnell Criticizes Trump in Blistering Speech After Voting to Acquit
Head waiter at the post-Trump acquittal Kool-Aid party Mitch McConnell ripped his shirt and beat his breast--he was not trying for raw naked bluster but simply trying to get his heart going again after quaffing down the Kool-Aid to the greater glory of Donald Trump. [Some onlookers did die laughing, though.]

Impeachment is over. But other efforts to reckon with Trump’s post-election chaos have just begun. -- "A lawyer for Kaardal had argued this month ... that Kaardal had acted in good faith and that disciplinary action would have a “chilling effect” on future litigants who assert similarly good-faith arguments in challenging existing law."
Great. So now Kaardal and all these other Trump lawyers will finally be able to bring to court all the proofs that they were acting in good faith (all their indisputable evidence that the election was indeed corrupt and stolen by Joe Biden). Then the judge(s) will undoubtedly say, "Ah! I see now how you'all were indeed acting in good faith! Case(s) dismissed!" And after that all the Trump lawyers will be able to go skipping home to Valhalla singing Wagnerian operas with laurels & sundry other fruits & vegetables.

I have nothing against Giuliani or Lindell, but they're pushing this lie when they know perfectly well that it's a total and complete fabrication of Trump's putrid brain--I actually hope both of these guys like me because I have some money down sez once they get to the end of the line and the courts laugh at their so-called 'evidence' they're each probably gonna put a bullet through their heads sooner or later: I've seen this before, people who actually believe their own lies and can't bring themselves to acknowledging they've lied & humbly ask for forgiveness--So the only way they see not having to face up to their being totally & completely proven %100 wrong is putting a bullet through their heads--Right now my money is on Lindell and Giuliani, but there may be some others, especially lawyers and public servants. Trump hasn't finished killing people yet (least of all his own people).
You wanna save their lives? Lock'em up now & place them under suicide watch--All except Trump, of course, who is a shameless & remorseless criminal. If Giuliani blows his brains out I don't doubt Trump's reaction will be to laugh and comment outloud: "What a nut!" [I also have a couple of bucks down on this.]
Mike Lindell made his bed with Trump’s bogus conspiracies. Now, he gets to lie in it.

men and women of the armed forces,” McCaffrey added.

DISCLAIMER: Note that my quips are almost exclusively all about the headline and the news articles themselves are in most cases irrelevant: Only because of the electronic nature of eBooks have I been able to include a [most convenient] search link to the actual news article... exclusively for the sake of those of you with a morbid curiosity (or a slow wit). But though I myself have read them, it is not really all that necessary that you put yourself through that too--unless, of course, you wish to find out whether my outrageous make of them might perhaps also be accurate (or just plain nuts).
