RIP, "Hammerin" Hank Aaron, you amazing man.

"My motto was always to keep swinging. Whether I was in a slump or feeling badly or having trouble off the field, the only thing to do was keep swinging."
Before Hank went to the Braves and was still a segregated player for the Indianapolis Clowns in the Negro League: "I feel this youngster is another Ted Williams in the hitting department."
Just one part of the unrelenting wave of racist screeds and death threats aimed at Hank in 1973, more than a year before he would break Babe Ruth's home run record.

"Donald John Trump engaged in high Crimes and Misdemeanors by inciting violence against the Government of the United States...President Trump gravely endangered the security of the United States and its institutions of Government."
cicilline.house.gov/sites/cicillin…
"He threatened the integrity of the democratic system, interfered with the peaceful transition of power, and imperiled a coequal branch of Government. He thereby betrayed his trust as President, to the manifest injury of the people of the United States."
"Donald John Trump, by such conduct, has demonstrated that he will remain a threat to national security, democracy, and the Constitution if allowed to remain in office, and has acted in a manner grossly incompatible with self-governance and the rule of law."

"Those familiar with American history know that the Capitol riot was hardly the first effort to overturn extralegally the results of a democratic election. The Reconstruction era and the years that followed witnessed many such events." - Eric Foner thenation.com/article/politi…
"As recently as 2013,the Supreme Court eviscerated key provisions of the Voting Rights Act,opening the door to widespread efforts in Republican-controlled states to suppress the ability to vote. Let’s not assume that until the Capitol riot the US was a well-functioning democracy"
January 6 may be the first time the Confederate flag was openly displayed in the Capitol building—a shocking sight that, I hope, will never be repeated. But...Trump has consciously identified his presidency with the Confederacy and the white nationalism at its core."

Edited version: Trump, whose original business partners in Atlantic City were mobsters and who has spent his career working directly with career criminals, calls the Bidens “an organized crime family.”
Felix Sater, Kenny Shapiro, Dan Sullivan are/were people who are/were *actually mobbed up* and Trump embraced them as business partners bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
And Trump — along with Ivanka, Don Jr. and Eric — were permanently barred from serving in any NY-based philanthropy after looting their own “charitable” foundation. bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

Conley, at a Walter Reed presser, says Trump has "continued to improve." He says Trump has had "two transient drops in his oxygen saturation."
The oxygen drops made him "concerned about rapid progression" of Trump's illness.
He says the president is now on dexamethasone. Dexamethasone "is used in the treatment of many conditions, including rheumatic problems, a number of skin diseases, severe allergies, asthma, chronic obstructive lung disease..." and other maladies. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dexametha…
