<\/p>\nYesterday, I went to my doctor’s office to get the form filled out that the DMV gave me Mondey (of course after calling to see whether they could fit me in. Frankly I think they went out of their way for me. I do try not to be a Karen.) I took the form to the DMV and it worked like a charm. In fact, they offered, because my driver’s license was supposed to renew within 6 months anyway, to renew it for another five years. Of course I was thrilled. (I do try not to be a Karen.) Now all I have to do is make an appontment to visit Virgil – the earliest Sunday he is available is April 10th (and, frankly, I feel safest driving on Sunday) I know that because the visitation staff has gone out of their way to let me know what days he (his “pod”) is scheduled for. (I do try not to be a Karen.) So back to what passes for normal starting today. Yay!<\/p>\n

\nQuote – The first-term conservative said he received invitations along the lines of: \u201c\u2018Well, hey, we\u2019re going to have kind of a sexual get-together at one of our homes, you should come’.\u201d The 26-year-old described his response on the podcast \u201cWarrior Poet Society”: “I\u2019m like, ‘What did you just ask me to come to?’ And then you realize they are asking you to come to an orgy.\u201d Cawthorn also claimed to have seen other people who are “leading” efforts to eradicate drug addiction using cocaine in front of him.
\nClick through for story.<\/a> I wouldn’t doubt the orgies, but I definitely doubt that anyone would invite Maddy. Unless they wanted to make him the goat (no, not the GOAT, just the goat, as in scape.)<\/p>\n
\nQuote – That immediately begs the question, what happened between the hours of 11:17 a.m. to 6:54 p.m. on January 6 and how was Trump communicating with people? He has already stated through a spokesman Monday night, \u201cI have no idea what a burner phone is, to the best of my knowledge I have never even heard the term.\u201d Right. What\u2019s being covered up? Seven hours is one whole lot of a longer time than the infamous 18-minutes of Watergate.
\nClick through for details.<\/a> I thought “Shades of Nixon” – but at 7:37 Trump makes Nixon’s 0:18 and a half look like Amateur Hour.<\/p>\n
\nQuote – Within the United States, Sophie Magdalena Scholl is not the best-known resistance fighter, but her story is a powerful one. She was a key member of the Wei\u00dfe Rose (White Rose)\u2014a resistance group run by students at the University of Munich who distributed leaflets and used graffiti to decry Nazi crimes and the political system, while calling for resistance to the Nazi state and the war. On February 22, 1943, she was beheaded for treason at just 21 years old.
\nClick through for full details.<\/a> If you hear someone allude to the “White Rose” (or the “White Rose Society”), this is what they are talking about. Beau does occasionally (he also has a Tshirt with a white rose, so he can allude to it without saying it.)<\/p>\n
\nThe video this quote is from will be on the Video Thread tomorrow. But this is so succinct I just wanted to meme it.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.7thstep.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Beau2.jpg\")
