Thanks for the reminder about Appomattox Day. My ancestors fought for the Union, new to America but believing in its promise. I am heartbroken that on this day, the courts chose to free the man who paraded the Confederate flag in the Capitol as part of an insurrection. The court didn't need to let him out of prison. They just wanted to. After all, SCOTUS might rule in his favor, and it's looking more and more likely that they will. So early release for Seefried and his friends. All the violence I watched with my own eyes that day is apparently imaginary. I should consult a psychologist about these visions of domestic violence I keep seeing, as I must be the only one seeing them.

If you're wondering if there's any accountability left for Republicans, you'll be glad to know that Allan Weisselberg was sentenced yesterday for lying to the government repeatedly, running the Trump Corporation with cooked books, and making a mockery of justice. Five whole months - stealing a few million hardly seems worth it now, huh? /s

This isn't justice. This is a fixed game.

And Mr. Linker, I've been waiting for an apology from the Iraq War / trickle down economics scammers for years now. You're not getting one either. Biden apologizing for 30 years of Republican malfeasance isn't going to cut it for me. I want an apology from the scammers.
