Some one told me about this yesterday. I really thought they were just messing with me, and even after seeing the video I wasn't convinced I wasn't being punked. Then today they told me that a lot of the Q faithful went to the rolling stones concert in Dallas expecting Keith Richards to announce that he was really JFK Jr... Which is patently absurd - Everyone knows JFK was a studio rhythm guitarist at best. #postoinionreality
David Frum, the former George W. Bush speechwriter and current never-Trump conservative, recently wrote,âThe post-Trump right has a style as distinctive as its authoritarian substance: trolling, ironic, evasive.â But that ainât so. On the right, trolling has been part of the story from the beginning. (...)
Interesting read. I still believe that David Frum is fundamentally correct. Please note how weird and uncomfortable I feel for agreeing with David Frum....

A tiny step in a long process and I expect that congress will lose interest and ultimately cave.
i think i agree we've got real issues that real leadership would attend to however, the masses want their pound of flesh even if it is show trial/kabuki theater it's great suction for media tho
hyman roth would probably say he's "small potatoes"
The American government is intact against an attempted overthrow of the Congress. It must punish those who planned, encouraged, and abetted the seditionists no matter how self-righteous they are.
Now, some people were encouraged to ignore lawful subpoenas. To be clear: in order to protect himself and those around him the former President is publicly encouraging his associates to defy Congressional subpoenas. This is lieu of them appearing and making a cogent, thoughtful argument as to their actions. Why? Because they are reprehensible and unsupportable - and they're aware of that.
If you're an American that believes in the power of Congress, then it's an easy call: lock him up.

The name derives from the 1913 novel Pollyanna by Eleanor H. Porter describing a girl who plays the "glad game"âtrying to find something to be glad about in every situation. The novel has been adapted to film several times, most famously in 1920 and 1960. An early use of the name "Pollyanna" in psychological literature was in 1969 by Boucher and Osgood who described a Pollyanna hypothesis as a universal human tendency to use positive words more frequently and diversely than negative words in communicating.<3> Empirical evidence for this tendency has been provided by computational analyses of large corpora of text.<4><5>The story of Pollyanna is about an orphaned little girl, who is sent to live with her Aunt Polly, who is known for being stiff, strict, and proper. When thrown into this environment, Pollyanna seeks to keep and spread her optimism to others. This beloved literary characterâs story shares the message that despite how hard things may seem, a sunny disposition can turn anyone and anything around.
Positivity bias is the part of the Pollyanna principle that attributes reasons to why people may choose positivity over negative or realistic mindsets. In positive psychology, it is broken down into three ideas: positive illusions, self deception, and optimism.<9> Having a positive bias increases with age, as it is more prevalent in adults approaching older adulthood than younger children or adolescents.<10> Older adults tend to pay attention to positive information, and this could be due to a specific focus in cognitive processing. In studies compiled by Andrew Reed and Laura Carstensen, they found that older adults (in comparison to younger adults) purposefully directed their attention away from negative material.
