    Winslow: Portrayed as terminally stupid, as usual.

    Carmen: Portrayed as totally honest, for a change?

    Hammerin’ Hank got lots of death threats from the same white supremacists that now make up the Republican* party.

    He was not only one of the greatest, he was also a lifelong advocate for racial justice.

    The greatest player of all time AND a tremendous human being. He was awarded the Presidential Citizen’s Medal for his work in civil rights.

    Mike Pence’s narrow escape thanks to Capitol officer Eugene Goodman revealed in new video (independent.co.uk) -

    Also saved Mitt by mere seconds.

    Eugene Goodman got promoted to acting Deputy Sergeant at Arms of the United States Senate for his bravery.

    He’s also an Army veteran who was in combat in the Iraq war.

    After these events at the capitol, Goodman’s former unit, the XVIII Airborne Corps, issued a statement commending his valor and saying that he “was a hero long before last Wednesday.”

    The Senate has voted to give the Congressional Gold Medal to Eugene Goodman.

    BENGHAZI:

    1) Radicalized mob attacks U.S Government Facility

    2) Help arrives with several hours delay

    3) Mob overruns defenses

    4) 4 American lives lost and dozens injured

    5) Repugs insist on Special Select Committee and 6 separate other committee investigations

    6) $7 million spent on 33 hearings

    7) Hillary testifies for over 11 hrs. never once pleading the 5th or not answering a question.

    U.S CAPITAL:

    1) Radicalized mob attacks U.S Government Facility

    2) Help arrives with several hours delay

    3) Mob overruns defenses

    4) 5 American lives lost and hundreds injured

    5) Repugs want to “just move on”

    It was the repugs who cut the funding for embassy security – that was why the embassy was so weakly defended.

    And in the second case – it was the repug President* that incited that mob to attack the Congress, specifically to prevent Biden from becoming President so tRump could stay in office indefinitely – AKA: ‘President for life’.

    HANK AARON wore the uniform number 5 for the Indianapolis Clowns, and made his Major League debut for the Milwaukee Braves in 1954. He later changed to 44, which he wore the rest of his MLB career with the Mil Braves, The Atlanta Braves and finally The Milwaukee Brewers, which is the only time I got to see him live.

    Aaron is also part of a sports trivia question from ‘Married with Children’.

    What do Aaron, Ruth, and Mays have in common — besides being all time greats and HOFers?

    ===

    They all started and ended their careers in the same city and on different teams.

    Moscow Mitch ensures that Republicans* remain the Party Of Trump!

    The Disciples celebrate like it’s 2016 — only with hundreds of thousands of Americans dead of covid and another half dozen Americans dead of insurrection.
