[Well, the congressional Repubs can really futch up President Trump and the country if they don't settle quickly on selecting a Speaker. Operational competency of our political parties is in the toilet. The Dems have historically led the way, but the Repubs are doing their best to now take the title. gjr]

On a lighter side, with the proper cryptographic transformation of the letters of her name, it becomes an anagram for “incompetent”. She was relieved of her MAGA hat though. You know, Make Alethea Great Again. That hat.

That’s it? roflmao. That guy is either an FBI agent or has been in a federal cell for four years. If that’s ‘beating the crap out of’ you were never a boxer.
I’d pardon the whole bunch of them, this is getting ridiculous.
Time to go after the embedded agents who were driving on the crowds, Ms. Cheney and anybody else who withheld evidence, Adam Schiff on general principles. It’s a lot harder to truly erase records than it used to be, too many copies, and there’s plenty o’dirt to be dug up.

on an unrelated matter, I had to laugh at a description of H5N1. Somebody just died of it and it came up on my news feed.
Desiring to be up on this, I looked up the symptoms.
mostly: some combination of cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, muscle or body aches, headaches, fever, and tiredness,
of course –
common cold: some combination of cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, muscle or body aches, headaches, fever, and tiredness
flu: some combination of cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, muscle or body aches, headaches, fever, and tiredness
COVID: some combination of cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, muscle or body aches, headaches, fever, and tiredness
Whooping cough: some combination of cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, muscle or body aches, headaches, fever, and tiredness, and then awful
whooping cough, at least, is followed by weeks of awfulness after the part that’s indistinguishable.
It’s funny how little forward motion there is in easy identification or treatment of any of this. Super hard problem I suppose. At least the viral ones.
