I'm sorry that I presumed you and Curious were Democrats and liberal.   I stand corrected in your case.

I certainly can appreciate not being labeled and just taking a stance on what you believe is right and just issue by issue.

 I still disagree that he's a Republican plant or traitor.  

I appreciate what you're saying about voting rights and can agree.

*hugs*

Follow-up re Rep Swalwell lawsuit against Trump rally speakers for insuiting Capital Jan 6th, insurrection--Brooks wife served with Mo's subpoena.  Timer now starts on his response to lawsuit.

Corrected link

Rep. Mo Brooks served with lawsuit related to his role in Capitol insurrection

 

CNN 6/6/21

Quote

..."Well, Swalwell FINALLY did his job, served complaint (on my WIFE). HORRIBLE Swalwell's team committed a CRIME by unlawfully sneaking INTO MY HOUSE & accosting my wife!" Brooks wrote on Twitter....

...The Swalwell legal team has not formally notified the court that Brooks has been served, but that likely will be coming soon. The process server will have to provide a sworn affidavit to the court, as is typical in this procedural phase of a lawsuit. Serving the papers is important because it starts a clock in court for Brooks, the defendant, to respond to Swalwell's accusations, which seek to hold him, ex-President Donald Trump and others liable for the January 6 attack on Congress....

"No one entered or even attempted to enter the Brooks' house. That allegation is completely untrue. A process server lawfully served the papers on Mo Brooks' wife, as the federal rules allow," he told CNN. "This was after her initial efforts to avoid service. Mo Brooks has no one but himself to blame for the fact that it came to this. We asked him to waive service, we offered to meet him at a place of his choosing. Instead of working things out like a civilized person, he engaged in a juvenile game of Twitter trolling over the past few days and continued to evade service. He demanded that we serve him. We did just that. ...

I guess MTG represents the cognitive capacity of the House conservative caucus.  They certainly seem comfortable with her ignorance. 

When Biden doesn't respond on 6/31/21 what do you think will happen? Will MTG make a big deal about Biden disregarding her fantasy deadline?

The headline today is about Harris and the border crisis and how Biden is to blame, but yesterday it was anti-Fauci again on Fox News.  There certainly is an anti-Fauci agenda in the conservative press and political leaders (who can only be mocked for not knowing there is no June 31st).  

They want to really dig into what he was saying at the time, which was the same thing as the World Health Organization and can't get beyond that even though he has testified in front of congress repeatedly.   I think what they really want is to prove that Fauci knew about the origins of covid, was somehow responsible for it and then lied about it.   Doubtful this will happen but it's a nice distraction for them.

I hate to say it because there are few people I loathe and despise but she's getting close to the top of the list.  But given how this country is going, she'll probably be President soon.

But God forbid we investigate the Capitol attack.

So um, I saw this on Twitter this morning and I don't know if I want to laugh because whew chile, or if I want to feel sorry for him because I really believe there are mental forces at play here. Yes, he's a solid narcissist, but I also believe he has dementia kicking in at a rapid pace. I've been thinking he had dementia for a while now, even when he was in office, and I think it's getting worse. I believe his narcissism won't allow his ego to admit there's a problem and he's surrounded by yes men/women so no one is giving him the hard facts and he won't take the proper medication he needs. There may be drugs at play but I don't believe they're hard drugs like Jr., more in the realm of Adderall or ADD drugs he shouldn't be taking. Either way, the nurse in me won't let me fully laugh because I know better deep down.

The memes and jokes are hilarious but his mental health is very much a serious matter. Let me also add, the minions who follow him need therapy as well. No one with a clear mind and consciousness can see that presentation yesterday and not know something is clearly wrong.

Philadelphia Inquirer 6/7/21

U.S. has recovered ransom payment made after pipeline hack

Quote

 

The Justice Department has recovered the majority of a multimillion-dollar ransom payment to hackers after a cyberattack that caused the operator of the nation’s largest fuel pipeline to halt its operations last month.

The operation to recover the cryptocurrency from the Russia-based hacker group is the first undertaken by a specialized ransomware task force created by the Biden administration Justice Department, and reflects what U.S. officials say is an increasingly aggressive approach to deal with a ransomware threat that in the last month has targeted critical industries around the world....

...The 63.7 bitcoin ransom — a favored currency of hackers because of the perception that it is more difficult to trace — is currently valued at $2.3 million....

CNN obtained copy of Giuliani's pressure call to Ukraine official Andriy Yermak, --hear the entire conversation which occurred THREE DAYS before Trumps infamous call.

New audio of 2019 phone call reveals how Giuliani pressured Ukraine to investigate baseless Biden conspiracies
 

Quote

 

Never-before-heard audio, obtained exclusively by CNN, shows how former President Donald Trump's longtime adviser Rudy Giuliani relentlessly pressured and coaxed the Ukrainian government in 2019 to investigate baseless conspiracies about then-candidate Joe Biden.

The audio is of a July 2019 phone call between Giuliani, US diplomat Kurt Volker, and Andriy Yermak, a senior adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The call was a precursor to Trump's infamous call with Zelensky, and both conversations later became a central part of Trump's first impeachment, where he was accused of soliciting Ukrainian help for his campaign.

During the roughly 40-minute call, Giuliani repeatedly told Yermak that Zelensky should publicly announce investigations into possible corruption by Biden in Ukraine, and into claims that Ukraine meddled in the 2016 election to hurt Trump. (These separate claims are both untrue.)......

...Trump connected with Zelensky three days later, on July 25, 2019. According to a rough transcript released by the White House, Trump raised with Zelensky some of the same baseless theories that Giuliani mentioned to Yermak. Trump said, "I would like you to do us a favor" and investigate the allegation
