Glenn Kirschner: Trump's Making New Threats. Graham Loses Again. Newt is the Wart that Won't Go Away

Also, the January 6th Committee's investigation of Newt Gingrich and Ginni Thomas involvement in the insurrection. - Political Voices Network.

Will make of this bizarre aberration in our long line of presidents, some great, some not so good, but absolutely nothing like this unqualified grifting blowhard who not only refused to do the job, but alienated our long time allies and embraced our most dangerous adversaries - and this was even before his two well deserved impeachments and he attempted to overthrow the government he wanted to lead. How to explain this to future generations?? It's been like a bad movie... 
And we've weathered them, managed to unite again - at least the majority of us. But then we've never had such a divisive administration before - and we never completely got over some major issues of the past. We never did address the issues of the Civil War, with the death of Lincoln succeeded by Andrew Johnson who abandoned the plans for Reconstruction, assimilating Freedman as equal citizens. That led to continuing abuses and the Civil Rights struggle a century later - which we're still dealing with now. And having a bigoted POTUS has brought out these issues all over again. He actually chose an Attorney General who was refused a federal judgeship because of his known views on segregation - and the Justice Department was formed in 1870 to deal with post-Civil War issues and its Civil Rights division was ignored during his tenure.
TFG has left us with myriad problems and that's just one of them. President Biden has done an admirable job reestablishing relations with our allies - but our issues with our global adversaries are at a real low point, especially Russia. We do have hope now, but there's also the sharp divisions in Congress, also thanks to TFG. And we've never had an ex-POTUS who attempted to cling to power like this. He's our biggest problem right now - still - and we desperately need for him to just go away. 
To get to Ginni Thomas. Why the hold up? She was among the worst of the instigators! Why has she not been called in by the committee?
Great post! Thanks, have not seen you lately! Everything all right? I was wondering about you because you always bring out the best.
I've been seeing an ENT, but it hasn't seemed to help. And my cat is under the weather, too - he hasn't been eating and has had trouble getting around, so we've been hand feeding him and he saw a veterinary neurologist last week. It never rains, but it pours...
So sorry to hear about your family. Good for them that they got all their shots, that likely made the difference. We've been lucky here, though I had the flu back in April instead, affected me for a month. And I've been arguing with my brother about getting his vaccines - he keeps asking me "How many more??" I've had all mine, but couldn't talk him into his second booster. Now it looks like I have to start working on him for the latest shot. 
And yes, it has been like a bad movie, this nation has become so divided. And here we thought that things would change once we got rid of the divider-in-chief, but he's still out there, still inciting his "followers." We've had centuries of ex-presidents, but never anything like him before. Something has to happen to shut him up for good. As long as he's inexplicably still regarded as the head of what was once the Republican party, Congress is still going to be divided like never before. How many laws (not to mention norms) does he have to break before he faces consequences??
Good to see you, my friend! Try and stay healthy and hang in there! 
My Son started with sinus, but had been to the doctor with lower back and leg pain. Cortisone shot but he thinks that started it. They are better now, then the Grandson got it. He just graduated from Ohio U, so is in the process of going on his own.
So many families are getting the mild version.
Hope your kitty is much better and your sinus, too. We are finally getting rain.. that is helping the allergies. Get well soon.
And college has to have been a tougher experience than our generation had. I know a couple with a son and daughter away at college and, due to Covid, they both keep being sent home. And my friend got her Masters, worked so hard for it and I planned to attend her graduation, but it was canceled due to Covid, they just sent her diploma in the mail.
Plus, I live in a tourist area. Summer before last everything closed down. But now they're back the same as ever, when I drive up north (Lake George) the streets and sidewalks are packed, license plates from all over the country. At least by tomorrow, they'll all be headed home.
And we've also had a stormy summer, I do feel bad for the campers. I'm near the woods and the mountains and there are times driving home that the roads are like an obstacle course. 
Thanks for the get well wishes, at least I got food and meds into my kitty tonight.
