WITF is making an inference on whether members were in the loop rather than following the herd. It is an important distinction that the Ethics Committee needs to investigate. The same is true with continuing the Big Lie. If the GOP keeps going with this, there won't be a GOP. Even in Utah. Mitt's main fault is cander, although sometimes he needs to explain a bit better. He is definitely in the Bush wing of the Party, which is the best long-term place to be.

Trump long ago went from being in the mob to being in the Russian mafia. He is now a Russian asset. The Big Lie originates in Moscow, not in the sick mind of Trump. Rudy is his handler. When this becomes the narrative, will his minions still follow him or will they forget him? The best play for Romney and Trump is to start that conversation going.

I suspect that Latinas do not agree with the GOP on funs. That they follow the Republican Party line on abortion is the reason Biden needs to be bold in explaining why it is a lie. If he does not ignore that bit of demography, Texas will remain a Red State. He needs to join Mitt and George W. in calling the Big Lie a Moscow Meme.

Many people have had the virus and gotten well, have family that has or have been vaccinated. For them, the pandemic is no longer a big deal. Until their children start getting sick, they will continue down that road.

Iowa, oddly enough, has the best pizza (or at least the best chain). Happy Joe's! Basso Nova is the best background music to work to, followed by Miles Davis. These are matters of aesthetics, which are very personal (or very tribal). The line between aesthetics and ethics is clear in the classroom. It is not so clear in our brains or our culture (or the culture of the clergy).
