Random Tuesday Morning Thoughts




Ten years ago I wondered if the Wise County's Sheriff's employee who was wanted for murder would ever be caught.  I think he's still out there. 


  • In an afront to rule of law, decency and all things good and holy, Trump followed though on his campaign promise to pardon the January 6th Insurrectionists yesterday.  This is now who we are. This is now America. And make no mistake, another insurrection will occur. If you don't like an election's results, you've been given permission to overthrow the government in the future because there will be no consequences. Political violence has been given the green light. 




    • Everyone was pardoned with the exception of 14 "commutations" - those who had there sentences terminated but not pardoned. But Trump left open the possibility of a full pardon for them. 


    • And a little noticed aspect of the executive order is that Trump "directed" his acting Attorney General to dismiss all pending cases for those who have not yet been convicted.  So he is already telling an "independent" AG who to prosecute. 

    • The Proud Boys were back in D.C. yesterday.   Trump now has his Stormtroopers. They no longer have to "Stand back and stand by."  And with the pardons for their leaders, the group is now unconstrained to commit violence 

       

  • And moments after swearing to protect and defend the constitution, Trump signed an executive order deleting a portion of the 14th Amendment.  And for all those saying, "He can't do that", just watch. No one will stop him this time around. 

  • Deep breath. Scenes from yesterday:
    Trump's rare kiss of his wife was blocked by her hat.
    Bezo's girlfriend forgot her top
    Elon went all Nazi with a salute. Video,

    The Mavs owner had a front row seat

    Barron is a strange bird

  • Weather news distraction: It's snowing in Houston right now and on the beach in Galveston.

  • It's about to get much worse. And I'm not talking about the weather . . .
