  • In Letters from an American, Heather Cox Richardson tells us that some fellow named Stephen K. Bannon is refusing to testify or produce documents in response to a subpoena from the committee investigating the Jan 6 lynch mob insurrection. He invokes executive privilege as claimed by Donald Trump. She explains the legal issues, beginning with: This is a weird argument.
     
  • Okay, so Steve Bannon is relying on an obviously bogus claim of Executive Privilege.
    1. Donald Trump is not President, so he cannot claim the privilege.
    2. If he could claim the privilege it could not apply to criminal acts, like what looks to have happened in connection with the Jan 6 insurrection lynch mob.
    3. Even if, by some cosmic sleight of hand, the lynch insurgency was not criminal, Bannon was not employed by the Trump administration in January. So… executive what?
       

    The investigating committee will meet Tuesday to vote on holding Bannon in contempt. Some very smart people ask an obvious question.
     
    Since the obstruction is sooooo obvious, why in the whole wide warming world will they wait until Tuesday?
     
    The Palmer Report examines that question and explains why Tuesday is the absolute perfect time.
     

  • Every once in a while, we’ll hear of a special American flag connected with some battle or other historical event. Flags are flown for short periods of time over the Capitol Building in Washington, DC. When we are told we will be saying the Pledge of Allegiance to such a flag, it is intended to give us an additional connection with something special, something national.
     
    Vixen Strangely at Strangely Blogged, watches a new tradition, saying the Pledge to a flag carried by the Jan 6 insurrection lynch mob.
     
    Connection with a special bit of American history, I suppose. Makes you kind of proud, doesn’t it?
     
  • Wisconsin conservative James Wigderson becomes impatient with a fellow conservative who suggests the main Jan 6 lynch mob transgression was that the mob entered a government building:
     

  • In MadMikesAmerica, Joe Hagstrom compares Donald Trump to Jesus of Nazareth. Guess who wins!
     
  • Hackwhackers unexpectedly finds common ground, complete agreement with Donald Trump.
     
  • Andy Borowitz reports that, for the sake of efficiency, Donald Trump will avoid putting the nation through the trauma of a costly election. He will skip the 2024 campaign and go straight to claiming he won.

    Scottie’s Toy Box is actually a dot net site not a dot com site. I thought you’d like to know. If you click on your link, you get the site doesn’t exist error message, but if you change the com to net, you get to his site.

    The continued support for vaccine resistance continues to amaze me. People will watch a perfectly preventable disease kill themselves, their children, their wives, husbands, aunts, uncles, friends, and relations near and far and still decry the vaccine. The capacity for human beings to rationalize their beliefs is as astonishingly powerful as it is resilient to appeals to change.

    I was so struck by this that I went out and looked for historical parallels and found that the Medieval European witch hysteria fit pretty well. It was sobering to realize that there were Swiss villages that killed nearly 80% of the women there, meaning the menfolk were burning their wives, mothers, and daughters. And, that it went on for 200 hundred years.

    I concluded that we have a whole lot of crazy to get through before we reach the witch hunt level of hysteria.

    Sobering thoughts indeed.

    Huzzah!
