In other news, Meadows may have opened himself up to perjury charges today. He was testifying in a hearing where he's requesting his Georgia charges be removed to the Feds, and for reasons I don't understand, took the stand himself. And then he said - repeatedly and in a number of ways - that he had no idea that the Trump Campaign (for which the Hatch Act forbids him from working with) was contesting the Georgia election results.
I mean, perhaps he was smart enough never to write it down or otherwise indicate to anyone that he was aware of it, but...
He was on the call...
I think he's trying to weasel out of his Hatch Act violation admission by trying to thread the needle that he couldn't have been acting 'politically' because he didn't know that the 'campaign' was working to change the election result. He was on the call, yes, but that was with the president and his other advisors, "acting in his official government capacity". It couldn't have been political, cause that's the 'campaign'. and he never knew they were also working to overturn the election.
But that ain't gonna fly, because just last week, he said he wasn't guilty, because he was just doing 'politics'. And then he said he was immune from prosecution because he was acting as part of his official government duties. But as an official of government, he's legally barred from doing 'politics'.
So, if he wants to be immune from the charges, or get tried in federal court, he has to have been performing official duties. But he's already said everything he was doing was political. So he's screwed himself, and he's trying to wiggle his way out of it.
I have Chuckie on ignore but based on the comments from the other that don't, all I can say is that if he actually believes 5% of what he posts I find it amazing his brain functions well enough to remind his lungs to breathe and his heart to beat, and that I truly feel sorry if there are people in his life who are still tethered to reality and have to put up with him.
Yeah, I know what you mean, Chuck. Wth all those numerous examples of other ex-presidents being indicted with dozens of crimes and getting off scot-free, it makes sense. There's just nothing new and different about Trump's situation at all.

Hey man. The world needs first assistants to the chief fry cooks
He tries so hard.
Don’t forget that these people are now home schooling their kids.
Nothing limits a child's potential like homeschooling. I'm also not entirely convinced that homeschooling isn't actually a worse predictor for success than limited or even no schooling.
I strongly dislike Trump but did see a nice picture on twitter of him handing out food and water to folks in Florida. Our country needs more of that and good on him for doing it.
