"The Constitution was written not just for times like this, it was written in times like this. The Federalists and Jeffersonians were actually trying to kill each other. Yet, here we remain. We are no more united than we were. Indeed, the only essential thing we have in common is the Constitution itself. It is a covenant of a common faith that unites us and protect us . . . despite our best efforts to the contrary."

A DNC-linked lawyer -- partners with Clinton lawyer Marc Elias -- fabricated a Trump/Russia link, fed it to DNC operatives masquerading as journalists, had Hillary trumpet it, then lied to FBI about who he worked for.

Joy Reid again defends her belief that it was necessary to be anti-vaxxer when Trump was in office:

"I was hesitant. When Donald Trump was out there controlling the CDC & controlling the FDA & manipulating them & making them put out falsehoods, anybody rational was hesitant."

Althouse: The vaccine is such a useful foothold in the censorship effort.

The vaccine is such a useful foothold in the censorship effort. You can point to statements that are clearly  wrong and get a lot of leverage for arguing that vast harm is occurring. These earnest assertions and stray musings are killing people! 

I'll just earnestly muse that the idea is to soften up the general population to censorship. How hard will it be to get ordinary Americans to see the microinfluencers and nanoinfluencers as vermin mucking up the purity of the information supply we've all got to consume?

Bob Woodward: Milley agreed with Pelosi that Trump was crazy. "I agree with you on all counts."

"Liberals swooned emotionally all day yesterday for George W. Bush because they crave his War on Terror, but just want it unleashed domestically at their political opponents. Hearing Bush link 9/11 with 1/6, and compare his War on Terror with their new one, was ecstasy for them."
