     I’m looking forward to laughing at comics instead of seeing the irony and political wit. We’re just laughing at a badly behaved clown at the moment which is more of a nervous laugh than a happy one! Hopefully, we can look back on the last few years of political satire and see it for what it had to be.

   President Trump is aware his fight to overturn the election is winding down, according to people familiar with the matter, but he isn’t ready to end the effort as he fundraises off the furor https://t.co/fQeinIif61

   Congress asked the IRS to report on why it audits the poor more than the affluent. Its response is that it doesn’t have enough money and people to audit the wealthy properly. So it’s not going to.https://t.co/tZW6tkvEXU

   “Sequestered in the White House and brooding out of public view after his election defeat, rageful and at times delirious in a torrent of private conversations, Trump was…like “Mad King George, muttering, ‘I won. I won. I won.’ ” https://t.co/sAdHBj4eQZ

   I really believe this, despite the opposing arguments made for reaching out to the other side.
   If Biden is acting more hands off of the DOJ in any future investigations, I understand why he might do this. I just hope we’re not expected to swallow sweeping it all under the rug.

     The only argument the forget-it side seems to have is that we can’t start prosecuting political rivals like some trumpery republic.

     I don’t know what part of NOT TRUMPED UP CHARGES the forget-it crowd doesn’t understand.

     He’s using his office, the goddamn Presidency, to sell the country down the river for personal gain.

     If Biden and his admin let the Dump get away with that, while a woman is in jail for five years for trying to vote under a misunderstanding, you may as well just burn the Constitution and every law book in the country.

   It’s a Beaver Moon!

   Full Beaver Moon is at 3:30 AM CST. There is also a Penumbral Lunar Eclipse. The Moon will pass through the outer shadow of Earth. The only problem is that we may have too much cloudiness to see. Fingers Crossed! @wdsu #nola #lawx #fullmoon pic.twitter.com/7lHZkf77sJ

   I really appreciate the cartoons and visuals, especially at a time when every day is a new brain scramble!
