Now, this is getting interesting --

Most of the other people being threatened had no real assets. I wonder how quickly the My Pillow dude will drop.

I was giving this guy the benefit of the doubt assuming if he’s running a successful company he couldn’t possibly be that stupid.

But when the facts change...

Lindell told Axios, "I want Dominion to put up their lawsuit because we have 100% evidence that China and other countries used their machines to steal the election."
In his email to NBC News, Lindell said:

"All the evidence against Dominion is before the Supreme Court. ... China and others used the machines to corrupt our election! Here is one page of the proof." The email did not include an attachment.

I wonder who else might have gotten that letter...

The insurrection was MUCH uglier than it looked. We are learning more about:

-Plans for grabbing Electoral College votes
-Participants with Police/Military background
-Taliban style videotape confessions / executions of Congress members

Not a bloodless Coup - its treason
The more we learn about this insurrection, the more it looks like a genuine attempted coup

Previously unreported:

The FBI and the New York Police Department passed information to the Capitol Police about the possibility of violence during the Jan. 6 protests against the ratification of the presidential election

Postmaster General Louis DeJoy tried to screw up the election, he managed to screw up Christmas instead.

"Competing crises are slamming the USPS just days before Christmas, imperiling delivery of millions of packages, as the agency contends with spiking coronavirus cases in its workforce, unprecedented volumes of e-commerce orders + continuing fallout from cost-cutting program"
As a reminder, the entire USPS is the creation of Congress:

PINK SLIME: I'm fascinated by the idea that upcoming civil lawsuits by 2 private companies might rein in the most extreme tendencies of OANN & Fox News.

How? Legal liability that peddling "False, reckless & irresponsible" slander has created.

"Last week, his lawyer sent scathing letters to the Fox News Channel, Newsmax and OAN demanding that they immediately, forcefully clear his company’s name — and that they retain documents for a planned defamation lawsuit. He has, legal experts say, an unusually strong case."

The occupant of the Office of the President is exempt from slander laws, but not the rest of the crew.

We just finished the full series of all 92 episodes of Mad Men.

It was critically acclaimed for its writing, acting, directing, visual style,+ historical authenticity

Having never seen a single episode when it was on TV. I have a few thoughts

amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS…

1/
Mad Men runs 7 seasons of 13 shows per, plus the series finale covering. It runs late 1950s to early 1970s. It won the Emmy for Outstanding Drama Series 4 consecutive years, 2008-11

The Sopranos with same executive producer won the same award twice, in 2004 and 2007.

2/
I found the show highly entertaining.

Writer and executive producer Matthew Weiner, who was an executive producer on The Sopranos as well, did a great job.

Pharmacist tells us that people are actually coming in for a Covid test due to possible exposure and still refusing to wear a mask.
I live in Nassau County, with which voted for Hillary in 2016 but went for Trump in 2020

You could guess about which way the causation runs
Ugh, I am wrong about Nassau County.
I was relying on older data.
