Bob Ney: Sen. Leahy announced his retirement. I remember when Strom Thurmond was there; he was there for a long time. At one point we referred to Congress as a nursing home because some members were there so long.

Bob Ney: The press was saying today the infrastructure bill wasn't transformative, that it wasn't what the President wanted. True, it wasn't as large as Biden had hoped for, but it's still necessary & unprecedented. I'm hoping the 2nd bill passes.
@bobney

Bob Ney: Pres. Biden's polling numbers are low, & the VP's are even lower. People say the economy is good but when that transfers to a poll, it doesn't show up in the numbers.

Bob Ney: As a matter of principle, the Justice Dept has the right to intervene but hasn't in the past. Going after Steve Bannon may dissuade people from participating in any future insurrections.

Rick: The Proud Boy who's in jail is asking for early dismissal or house arrest b/c of poor conditions.
Bob Ney: Good luck with that.
@bobney

Bob Ney: Bannon will milk this for a while, if he can. He may have to testify eventually but he'll hold off as long as possible. He loves becoming a martyr. There will come a time, though, when he gets indicted. He'll get free legal help.

Bob Ney: In WI, use of a dangerous weapon by a minor is decided by the length of the barrel. The current law has to do w/ size of barrel, & that wasn't met, so that charge was dropped. I doubt he'll be convicted of intentional homicide.

Bob Ney: Didn't Rittenhouse's mother drive him to WI?
Rick: I don't think she drove him but she supported him & his decision to go.
