That drive is cornfields resisting you.

Nancy Pelosi had a specific reason for emphasizing, on her calls from her secure location Jan. 6, that T**** was responsible for the attack. I would surmise that she wanted officials to act without getting authorization from the POTUS, even though the letter of the law would require that authorization.

OK, two things: I fucking adore Nancy Pelosi and she was speaking for so many of us when she said that she hoped that Fergus did come to the Capitol so she could punch him out. "I'll go to jail, but I'll be happy."
And on the "Fergus should go to jail forever" subject, I'd like to point out a post Susie Madrak did on her blog explaining the unrecognized work being done by DOJ attorneys to make that happen.

Some things have to be done right and according to the book to be made happen at all, and these folks are laboring under the constraints that they know must be conformed to while pouring their lives into the task, all while being shat upon in the media for not having it done quickly enough for the tastes of people who don't understand the process. If he ever sees any accountability ever, they will be the ones who serve it to him.
And as a stroke survivor, I think John Fetterman is doing just dandy. One of the hardest things about stroke recovery, at least according to my doctors and therapists, is understanding your limitations well enough to compensate for them. Again and again they would praise me for having a realistic enough view of my capabilities to know I needed to come up with coping strategies, when it just seemed self evident to me. Apparently it doesn't seem that way to a lot of patients, and they were very concerned about it. That was fourteen years ago, and now days I'm mobile enough to walk up to the mill pond each day, even when nobody else is around. While I was in rehab for the stroke I wasn't all that confident that I would ever walk again.
Thank you again for the podcast. Briana is down in the Bay Area for a Puscifer concert for her sixtieth birthday, and it's just me and the cat holding down the fort.
