Can't he just have a stroke already?  I don't want to wish anyone harm but nothing else will get him off our TV screens.

Not sure if any of you follow the weekly show/podcast This American Life, but they had a great episode this week that included a section on the election deniers in the US and what one guy in a Texas district is doing to push back against them. It's a fascinating look into the minds of the deniers and also a great look at how effective Texas elections administrator Heider Garcia is a dealing with people that try to disrupt the elections process. It's 25 minutes and well worth the listen.

Looking forward to it. After decades of episodes can't say I've heard one yet that wasn't illuminating and a fun listen.

Been going through them sequentially lately, trying to catch up on anything I've missed.

Just listened to the one on gerrymandering. Goddamn madness!    https://www.thisamericanlife.org/784/mapmaker

I haven't listened to it in a while.  3 hours in the car today too.  I need to add it back into my podcast rotation.

Justice may be blind, but damn can she smell money. How can an organization can commit fraud for a decade and get a slap on the wrist and no charges for the executive? It is bullshit. Does anyone else here own a company and think they would skate by pleading ignorance? Even Weisselberg is only getting 6 months and a fat bonus from the Trumps.

Well they exist only as an NFT so you can’t even wipe your ass with one.
