1/ Still missing our dog Riley today, but I thought a couple more pictures of the old boy might amuse you. He loved the water and swimming in the pool.
2/ He was fearless. Witness this epic battle with a crayfish.
3/ Riley was hella photogenic.
4/ He was such a food hound he would steal wheels of brie, any grilled or uncooked meats, and anything else he could find at or above counter height.

So much so he became a family and friends meme.
5/ He loved Fanny, one of our Jack Russell Terriers. He would steal her bed.
6/ Any couch, any time, anywhere was better than any dog bed.
7/ Absurd yawn.
8/ His granddaughter Jilly rivals him in being a food thief, and is amazing in her own right.
9/ Damn, he loved a good run in the field.
10/ Also, agile.
11/ Thanks for all your kind words for the bestest boy.

1/ QAnon belief should be a disqualifier for any government position. Its believers should be hunted down and dismissed from government service at every level.

Posting or sharing Q content even on private social media accounts should be an immediate cause for dismissal.
2/ Like antivaxxers, they should be preemptively considered a risk to the community, and local livestock.
3/ Stern measures, ending in the mandatory micro chipping of Q believers, are necessary.

1/ Today was a moment about America. About our future. About recapturing hope from hate. About a better, brighter path.

It's not exaggeration to say this was the most consequential election since the Civil War.

So many people fought so hard for so long to defeat Trump.
2/ My timeline is filled with people thanking me for standing up and for the work of @ProjectLincoln.

I cannot sufficiently express my profound, eternal gratitude for your kind words and support. The hard fights are the fights to be in, and you all deserve the credit for this.
3/ The work of a grassroots volunteer making calls and (virtually) knocking doors was just as important and deserves just as much credit and praise. It took a national movement to reach this day.

1/ The most destructive, vile, corrupt man ever to darken America’s presidency has left the White House for the last time.

He has disgraced himself, the office, his oath, and the nation in ways more profound and lasting than we can account.
2/ His incompetence, malfeasance, and evil shouldn’t be laughed off as narcissism or ignorance. He was surrounded by corrupt, wicked, cruel counselors and reveled in it.

Emerson once said of Lincoln’s presidency “an institution is the lengthened shadow of a man.”

He was right.
3/ Trump’s cruelty, division, insurrection, treason and corruption are unrivaled in history. He is the nadir of presidential leadership.

He was enabled by the weak, the venal, the desperate, and the compromised. It was empowered by voices normalizing and rationalizing his evils.

1/ Trump cut off stimulus talks. It's almost as if he has a political death wish and will take down Republicans with him.

His campaign people are staring mutely at the screens of their phones, stunned and depressed.

Stepien was just on with the pollsters. Ooops. Blindsided.
2/ The desperation is growing in the campaign. They've watched the tracker. They see how badly they've bled out since the debate and his manic behavior since diagnosed.

The stunts aren't moving the numbers. Even the base is fading. Seniors fading. Noncollege whites fading.
3/ What happens next? Well, a lot of places are about to end rent and mortgage forebearance. The COVID bounce is coming.

There is no vaccine. There is no scalable therapy. (What Trump got at Walter Reed was bespoke and expensive.)

More pain is coming because he has failed.

1/ A former friend who has joined the Washington "just following orders" crowd is horrified that we're hitting Jason Miller.

I asked him which of Jason's admitted actions -- the prostitutes, the strippers, skipping child support, etc -- he'd like to defend in public.
2/ "Well, I can't. You know I have to work in this town. Besides, he has a family."

Me: "He has at least two families, one to whom he's refusing to pay child support."
3/ The broader conversation was telling. A guy in the business who bent the knee to Trump feels the campaign is out of control (and I have better visibility into their ops and it's even worse than he thinks) and losing.

1/ It begins:

A guy who went *full* Trump for lobbying business purposes -- and I mean, slavishly, insanely so -- is in Phase III of Good German syndrome.

Phase I - "Hey man, things have been crazy! How are you?"

Phase II - "Yeah, you know I had a mortgage and the company..."
2/ Phase III - "You know I never liked Trump. I was a Jeb guy! We just had so much business that needed the WH. But you and I are friends, man. We need to keep in touch. Do you know any Biden people? I want to have our clients give."

Me: "That's nice."
3/Phase IV will be when their firm leaks a client memo outlining how they were a firm that led their clients away from the damage of Trump.

Lobbyists smell danger like herd animals on the African plain., and they're scared now, their nostrils wide to the scent of predators.
