#ChatTuesday #TuesdayThoughts: All I can stomach for today.
It’s a rainy one today. On and off, right now it’s off.
I wouldn’t mind if it were on.
Thank you, Gail, for the coffee, it’s one of those draggy, tired days, and all extra boosts are greatly appreciated! It’s so lovely to have you as one the regulars here in our virtual shop. I wish the rest of the world always felt as cozy. Thanks you so much!
And on to the Tuesday of it all.
A judge apparently denied Illinois’ request for a restraining order to prevent the deployment of the National Guard in Chicago, including the use of Texas’ troops against the orders of the Illinois governor.
I’m only seeing this reported right now by our local ABC station, which is a very reliable source, so I suspect they had someone in the courtroom, though I don’t know for sure. Nonetheless, it’s a bit of a surprise, and a horrible disappointment.
The link also suggests donald threatened to use the Insurrection Act, but there is nothing in the article about it. Protesting is not insurrection.
We all know what insurrection looks like.
But here we are.
I have to say I assumed the judge, like the judge reviewing Portland, would block the deployment. Maybe it was the house of a judge who ruled against donald completely engulfed in flames that swayed this judge. We’ll never know for sure, will we.
But in that case, authorities are saying there’s no evidence the fire was deliberately set.
Mmm-hmm.
We are, my friends, officially off the rails. We are so far off the rails we couldn’t even find the rails with google maps and a searchlight. It’s everything we warned about, right here, already.
And in this case, that last line, the judiciary, seems to be gone.
Anyway, that’s all I can stomach for today, have the best Tuesday you’re able.
