Wow. This is nice.

I spent most of yesterday working, not checking the news, and when I finally get onto DU this morning, there are some stories, some fun stuff, some tweets, but you know what there's not?

A SCANDAL OF THE DAY.

I'm realizing just how exhausting and stressful four years of TFG was.

Not that we don't have problems, but at least now we have the attention to try to deal with them instead of every moment being the news equivalent of "Squirrel!" popping up on our screens.

1. Well, the scandals of the day--

are now mostly the revelations of the many horrible things Trump did.

Like demanding NINE times in less than an hour that the AG "overturn the election."

and soon we'll have more info about what senators and reps were at the Jan 5 Trump Hotel meeting planning the insurrection. That Aly Alexander is going to turn on Trump, just you wait.

But otherwise... some good news-- Covid is finally maybe retreating (again).

2. True.

I just think it's kind of nice to have the attention to deal with some the old shit rather than chase new "Squirrel!" stories around all the time.

3. Sorry - couldn't help it

[momta]

4. Ha!

5. Angry Squirrel. I have one of those that visits the maple tree

just off my deck. He takes offense at my presence and barks at me regularly.
