    The other thing that’s shocking is that the documents case was pretty easy to follow to the crime. It was so shockingly stupid and straightforward. I have no clue how the judge can throw it out. He took documents that weren’t his, the archivist asked for them back, he pretended like he didn’t have them, the archivist went to the “police”, the police asked nicely, Trump said no, and the police went in and took them with a court ordered document. Like Trump was given multiple off-ramps from committing a crime.

      The actual (translated) quote is "Only the stupidest calves choose their own butcher." And of course the British version is "like turkeys voting for Christmas".
      Adenauer is generally considered to have been a pretty good politician, and he's held in fairly high regard by Germans today. As far as I'm aware he never expressed any opinion on the cosmological constant whatsoever. The similarities between Wiemar and the modern US might be up for debate, but that quote has a fairly obvious and pretty uncontroversial meaning - don't vote for the Leopards Eating People's Faces Party if you're a person with a face.

      I'm ten years ahead of you, and watch it in the morning here in France. But I know what you mean; I finish my day with videos from Australian megabat rescuers. Sometimes sad, sometimes funny, always caring.

      Seth & John Oliver have it figured out. I trust the facts from JO more than any msm. They’re vetted to the hilt. And while there’s plenty of comedy, I haven’t seen a distruth yet.
      Seth is pretty damn awesome too!

    Many good points in your opener. What’s tragic is that so many “we musts” continue to be undone by “they dids”……..
