News reports that Jeffrey Clark, the Trumpian mole in the Justice Dept who conspirted with the Great Deceiver and others to undo the results of the last election, has got himself a new lawyer. I surely hope that he needs one, for this thoroughly corrupt man tried to destroy our democracy and should be put on trial, and that very soon.

Viewed footage of AG Garland testifying before Senate committee about the memo he had issued urging that attention be given to the attacks and threats made against school board members, teachers, etc., by ignorant parents. The Trumpublicans made a big fuss about it. Sen. Marsha Blackburn embarrassed herself thoroughly as she tried to misrepresent the memo and Ted Cruz spoke up in defense of giving the Nazi salute at a school board meeting.

The same footage contained images of people menacing and threatening school board members with warnings like “We know where you live!” The people doing the menacing and threatening did not impress me as responsible parent types or concerned citizens, but as pitiable people duped through their ignorance and driven by their animal passions. 

TRASH! No one will say it, many won’t admit thinking it, but I’m afraid that “trash” is the appropriate epithet for these and a large part of the Trump base.
