Here’s another ‘genius’ political stunt by the Republicans, who decided that playing a little tit-for-tat with the Dems who moved the Impeachment process along yesterday to the chagrin of the R’s. Getting a visual ‘gag’ to be talked about in the news, ie sending moving boxes to the Dems because R’s feel they are going to be out of Congress shortly, became a Capitol police nightmare. Any suspicious box has to be reviewed.
What have we come to with this idiocy?
An unfortunate part of work on Capitol Hill is learning to be cautious about suspicious packages. This has been true for a while, but congressional aides were reminded of the threat around this time last year when a deranged Donald Trump supporter targeted lawmakers and prominent journalists with pipe bombs.
With this in mind, Roll Call reported yesterday on an unfortunate and ill-considered Republican stunt.
Several House Democrats in battleground districts complained Thursday that a political stunt by Republicans intended to warn them they would not be in office long because of impeachment instead ended up wasting the time of Capitol Police after aides complained of receiving suspicious packages.
The National Republican Congressional Committee sent packing boxes to the Capitol Hill offices of the Democrats, most of whom flipped Republican districts in 2018 and are expected to have competitive campaigns to keep them next year.
The suspicious packages were supposed to represent “moving boxes,” which the NRCC found amusing. Others were far less entertained: Aaron Fritschner, who works for Rep. Don Beyer (D-Va.), explained that he heard members of the U.S. Capitol Police, whose time Republicans wasted, tell staffers, “Do not touch a package like that, call us first.”

The sunshine state is in for a dark makeover.
Well, darker.
It’s Florida.
Palm Beach will never be the same.
#FLORIDAMAN BEGINS.
My wife: “They’re gonna have to rename it to Facepalm Beach now.”
All joking aside, Trump’s been making moves toward this for a while. For instance, there’s this article from May:

Want a moment of utter hilarity?
The notorious, and incompetent, right-wing “pranksters” from Project Veritas are pushing the #EpsteinCoverup hashtag and want to jumpstart an investigation.
I wonder how Trump and Barr would feel about that.

ABC News Anchor Caught on Mic Saying Network Quashed Jeffrey Epstein Story
This story is getting weird. Project Veritas is pushing it hard; they are far from good actors and I think mostly in it hoping to take down liberals who may be connected to Epstein, ignoring that it could be as bad, or worse, for their own. I don’t really care whose ‘side’ those involved with him were on; every one deserves to be rooted out and punished for what was done to those children.
The headline is clickbait; the anchor says later in the article that she was frustrated they couldn’t get enough corroborating evidence to run with the story fully, but notes they’ve kept following it. Hard to know what’s what with this one.

A bizarre beginning to the Roger Stone trial…Stone needs to leave jury selection time due to food poisoning…
Jury selection in the trial of Roger Stone, the longtime confidant and adviser to President Donald Trump, got off to a bizarre start on Tuesday as Stone left the proceedings due to what he said was food poisoning shortly after an observer was taken out of the courtroom on a stretcher after appearing to have a seizure.
The selection of the jury continued without Stone present, but because of the earlier delay stemming from the separate medical emergency, it is unlikely jury selection will be completed Tuesday. More than 80 prospective jurors arrived at federal district court in Washington, D.C., to potentially take part in the trial.

Millions of poor lose access to cellphone service under Trump administration reforms
8.6M Americans get access to a phone or data plan thanks to Lifeline, a government program vital to many poor Americans.
That number used to be over 11M. The Trump regime claims it is purging those abusing the network, but all indications are it instead seeks to kill it.
Lifeline is intended to keep low income households in touch with healthcare, jobs, emergency services, and family.
The gradual destruction of his program can be highly detrimental, even dangerous, to the lives of millions of Americans.
