It is Tuesday! Three in a row for convict Donald Trump, one of many for the inculpable David Waldman and Joan McCarter.

Donald Trump isn't messing around. If you aren’t with him, you're against him. Even if you are with him, if you weren’t with him, you’re against him. Because, Donald’s a lunatic megalomaniac, and those are just the rules. Republicans are just toys for Trump’s amusement, therefore Gops will eat their own if it keeps them safe from Trump another day... although there are a couple left who hope that God might still be more powerful. They’ll learn.

Mike Johnson has learned, and has placed Trump stooges Scott Perry and Ronny Jackson as moles onto the key Intelligence Committee. Florida Gop Anna Paulina Luna must have skimmed some old Daily Kos issues and discovered “inherent contempt”, which Democrats were afraid to try because it might work, and Republicans want to try because it probably won’t. Meanwhile, Elizabeth Warren leads the Democratic charge against the Republican extension of Trump tax cuts.

There’s brawling in the Supreme Court too. Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Amy Coney Barrett are getting sick of Clarence Thomas’ originalist textualist malarky… And, can you believe it? The gun lobby and manipulated data seem to figure into many 2nd Amendment decisions!
