The narrative I hear from the right about the markets and the increased vaccination rate is that Biden is just using “Trump’s plan”, which is a bit like when your wife opens a jar you couldn’t open and you claim to have “loosened it for her” not speaking from personal experience here. ---

I am not a lawyer, but it’s my understanding that the very best thing to do when you’re under investigation by the FBI is to go on national television and talk about the case. Rudy’s just showing his legal smarts by going on Tucker’s show. ---

So I have to assume those same people are now in full support of Biden. 🤨 ---

The city of San Antonio had elections yesterday &, if I’m reading this right, there is only 1 Trumpy asshole remaining in the city council, & the Trumpy asshole running for Mayor got trounced. Four years ago the same Trumpy asshole forced a runoff (and thinking of the impact of having a Trumpy asshole government during COVID makes the 2017 election one of the three most consequential mayoral races in our cities 300 year history), but this time it wasn’t even close. So feeling pretty good about my city right now. ---

> [@Steve\_MB](#): > > pay Mr. Giuliani for his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election on Mr. Trump’s behalf… Isn’t that sort of like if a hit man is on trial for murder, and he asks the mob boss to please pay him for the guys he whacked? I mean, you’re asking to be paid for the criminal act for which you’re on trial. That can’t be a winning proposition for the mob boss.
