Seth takes a closer look at the January 6 committee revealing a series of depositions from former aides to Trump and the Secret Service mysteriously deleting text messages from the day of the coup attempt despite requests from Congress to preserve records.
Last I checked, Colbert’s people didn’t seek to interrupt and delay a serious proceeding, try to hunt the VP or Senators in order to hang, kidnap and assault them, nor did they beat on or injure any police officers. Other than that, perfect analogy. pic.twitter.com/fYJBKTJJsU

They were granted access by Congressional staffers.
No one died. If was even attacked.
And oh wait, were there to record a comedy sketch.
They shoulda had a guide at all times.
This turned into zomg “trespassing” because some of them ended up unaccompanied.
Looks like the weirdly dressed convention down at the harbor is getting a full on mini-concert:
The #SDCC panel for ‘THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RINGS OF POWER’ begins with composer Bear McCreary conducting an orchestra.

What inspired it is, to me, somewhat obvious.
Someone put their goldfish in the baptismal font to baptize it, or at the very least, to bless it in sacramental holy water for good luck.
It sounds like something a little kid would do, to be honest, and maybe it was. I don’t think a memorandum is necessary (or a papal bull, for that matter).
Since the business of America is business, figures the world’s largest retailer would get the local specialty ice shop to make them some custom flavors for the day:

Things go kind of weird downtown when the weirdly dressed ones show up, but rose hip ganache on ice cream sounds pretty tempting now that the sun is high.
With all the crazy shit that went down around January 6th, the Secret Service deleting all their text messages from one of the most important days in US history — despite being told not to! — has to be one of the most outrageous. Corruption on a MASSIVE scale.

Salma Hayek on a talk show couldn’t remember the name of the event she was telling a story about, so she called it “you know, that place where everyone’s dressed like Halloween but it’s not Halloween”…
The corruption is everywhere.

I keep thinking about the right wing lunatic who told me in about 2010 that, “The Libs are trying to wipe us out! In 10 or 15 years, Republicans will be hunted like wild animals!”
Naturally, I thought he was nuts. I did not anticipate that the GOP would degenerate into a sadistic, brutal cult, which is what has happened. Maybe the fool was right after all. It is what happens when you behave like a wild animal. They will have to be put down, one way or the other. It gives me no pleasure to say so but it is the truth.

Sounds like projection and “If we don’t do it first, they will.”
It all happened right out in the open, in full view of the whole world, but these stories are written as if we’re just finding out.

This is the GOP.
Christian white nationalist fascists, and dumbasses like Shapiro have been scoping out spots thinking that no one would notice that Shapiro is Jewish. The Christian fascists reveal their true colors, and Shapiro is left… well… fuck Shapiro. This is who he laid down with. He wanted to be part of the Christian white nationalist fascist cult, but they wont let him be part without ending the Jewish part of him.

I have no doubt it will be good and the story of the fall of Numenor and the crafting of the rings is a good choice.
Yet, I’m a bad boy and I’m even more looking forward to the funny and fun of Chris Pine being a thief tricked into releasing the Evil in a Can and having to stop it in the D&D movie.
He should be detained pending appeal. Let him run free and he’ll use his conviction to make money and build his podcast audience.
Well, there it is…
The only reason Bannon is even in this position now is because Trump pardoned Bannon on the last felony conviction when Bannon and his coconspirators scammed MAGA idiots out of millions on a bogus build a wall scam.
Bannon should have been in prison already, but here we are and here he is - this convicted felon is again convicted of felonies. He doesn’t have Trump pardoning him before he does the time either.
Fuck that guy.
I don’t suspect Bannon has an extra pardon in his pocket from the former guy for future contempt of congress charges.

An old story I heard on the early Internet:
A young college student gets a summer job in Florida. He worked for the state department of natural resources.
One day, he’s in a boat somewhere in the swamps. He and his supervisor come across an enormous wild pig blocking the channel.
The pig is VERY dead.
The supervisor asks our summer worker to get the pig out of the way, with their pitchfork. After several tries, the student gets the pig moved. Unfortunately, the pig got punctured in the process, spraying the student with the products of its decomposition.
It was a miserable rest of the shift for supervisor and student.
That pig is Bannon.
