A New Hope and an Older Hope

Whoa.

And that is, perhaps, the only comparison we'll make between Mark Hamill and Alec Guinness.

"FBI's #KashPatel to sue The Atlantic for #defamation over report on heavy #drinking"

That embarrassing moment when you don't want to seem like a snowflake, but the performative bullying culture you operate in insists you bluster and sue, even as your lawyers try to tell you about defamation law (and the Streisand effect) and all you want to do is go out and do shots with your buddy Pete.

Ready to take a gander at "Come From Away" at the #ArvadaCenter. #theater #stage

Donald's first impulse is *always* to shoot the messenger of bad tidings. Suggest that the Dear Leader has no clothes? That he's made a mistake? That he's not the most popular kid in the room? Then you're a liar. A phony. A failure. Ugly. Stupid. Unpopular. Radical. Criminal. Traitorous.

And if it's a woman doing it, he quickly leans extra-hard on that "ugly" part.

I won't comment about the outside. But #Trump sure is ugly on the *inside*.

Makes me feel a bit of pride, being an #Episcopalian (part of the Anglican Communion). Thanks, Archbishop Sarah.

"To Protect and Serve and Incite and Arrest"

An #Arizona #cop is on administrative leave (with pay) after showing up at a peaceful student #protest, with a visible gun and multiple magazines, a face covering and Trump shirt, and with the intent (as he conveyed to other #police officers) of inciting an assault on himself so that the other cops could arrest everyone.

"Justice Department moves to dismiss Proud Boys and Oath Keepers’ seditious conspiracy convictions"

Words cannot express my anger and disgust at the brazen, shameless disdain of these assholes for
law, order, democracy, history, truth, the Constitution, and justice.

I just can't even.

J D #Vance is trying to draw a weird line between "public policy" and "matters of #morality," claiming that the #Pope should stick to his lane in only commenting about the latter.

Given that the Right has insisted that *all* public policy should be driven by their morality for as long as I can remember, and that #Trump and his minions have constantly painted the #Iran war as blessed by God, Vance's suggestion doesn't even pass the laugh test.

"Donald Trump launches extraordinary attack on #PopeLeo calling him ‘weak’ and ‘terrible’"

Far be it from me to deem the Pope infallible, but I'd listen to what Leo has to say with a lot more respect than anything #Donald spews.

He's just jealous that Leo has classier digs and a snazzier outfit than he does. Oh, and that people genuflect to Leo more than they do to him.

"Halting $400m White House ballroom project is national security risk, Trump officials say"

Remarkable that after so many administrations, including one of Trump's, suddenly the whole nation's security depends on completing all the underground construction of top secret things, and then, topping it off with a massive, gaudy, showy, Trumpy ball room... which heretofore has been what Trump was interested in.

The trumped-up "urgency" here doesn't pass the sniff test.

The views expressed by me on this weblog are mine alone and do not necessarily reflect the views of my employer, my church, my party, my candidate, my community, my wife, my friends, or, on occasion, myself.

Views expressed by others are, well, theirs. I reserve the right to delete them, but it’s usually better to let the marketplace of ideas hold sway, even if some packages are long past their expiry date.

Stuff I link to? Sometimes it’s because I agree with it. Sometimes because I disagree with it, but want to point (mockingly, in some cases) to my sources regardless; I have a liberal arts background; I believe in citations. And linking to stuff is what the Internet is about.
