The look of satisfaction on her face while being arrested by the "brown shirts", aka Tennessee State Troopers for peacefully protesting is priceless! She knows she's doing "getting into good trouble" right.

MAGA Coworkers Conversations: Appearances Can Be Deceiving I've written about Anthony before, back a few weeks ago when he thought he was going to get a $5,000 check from FOTUS and I had to bust his bubble.

My latest MAGA coworkers conversation is live on Substack, and free to read. It's a bit of a shocker, but in a good way!

โ€œThe Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.โ€

Due to the Republican party's denials of the existence of war plans in the Signal chat, this quote from 1984 by George Orwell seems absolutely prescient today, doesn't it?

"Last month, Wells Fargo released a memo outlining political pathways to achieve postal privatization and the various opportunities for profit. Their plan is clear: sell off the most profitable parts, raise prices, and decimate the unionized workforce."

Hey, Politico --

I consider myself to have "long-term standing in the private legal community" and I have been willing to speak out almost every single day. And, I'm not alone.

Yes, there is widespread cowardice among law firms, but don't ignore those refusing to bow down.

Defiantly,

Marc Elias

Maga Family Conversation: Grizz Dumps Trump Tonight's story is about a conversation I had earlier today with an old friend of my deceased maga daddy, so you know he was maga too.

Here's my latest conversation with a maga from yesterday, with my daddy's best friend of 45 years, Grizz. We haven't talked much since daddy died of covid, because we'd bumped heads on some of our political posts on Facebook in Mango Mussolini's first term.
