It certainly looks like Putin, with the help of Manifort and Trump, stole the 2016 election from Hillary Clinton but, more importantly, from the 65.8 million people who voted against the Thief in Chief, Donald Trump, who, btw, won just 62.9 million votes despite Putin’s efforts. https://t.co/Af1PnVJhQO

Do we get a peek?

Dispatches from the front lines
One of my friends lives in the unholy state of Florida, and sends me many good articles about what DeSantis is doing to destroy the place. (However, I just can’t afford subscriptions to all these Florida newspapers that are doing such good work, or I would be sharing them with you.)
I swore 15, 16 years ago that I wouldn’t return to Florida until they turned out the Republicans running the joint. I haven’t been back since.
It’s a shame, because it’s a cheap, short hop from Philly, and I like it there. I just don’t want to make DeSantis look like a competent governor by spending my money.
But we can at least make fun of Rhonda Santis’s hairpiece. It looks like one of those plastic wigs that came with Halloween costumes. Watch this video:

1/2 : So here’s Clegg on Trump and Facebook: “In the event that Mr. Trump posts further violating content, the content will be removed and he will be suspended for between one month and two years, depending on the severity of the violation.” https://t.co/hRE2YE4Ai6

2/2: And here’s the rub: Trump was already posting what Facebook would presumably define as unacceptable content shortly before he was reinstated. So how long do they expect this arrangement to last? And how rigorously are they going to monitor it?

Don’t be evil
In case you were wondering, the reason so many blogs disappeared has to do with Google’s advertising policies:
JUST IN: AG Merrick Garland announced the Justice Department, along with 8 states, filed a civil antitrust lawsuit against Google.
