@SandySkipper1 @globalvoices Oh, no!

@BeschlossDC Delusional and full of lies.

Apparently, the gunman, an ex-law enforcement officer, sought out his wife to shoot. So, even worse, you become part of someone’s deadly domestic assault. 3/

There was a Maas shooting at a “biker bar” in southern CA last night. Four people lost their lives. ⁦@TODAYshow⁩ interviewed a man who had been there w/his 7-month old baby. My Q: Who takes a child to a bar? This article mentions the sign there:1/ https://t.co/7HeKTxku21

[S Payne @sbpayne325]

“Children are welcome.” Why would anyone take a child to a bar? Some college students apparently spend a lot of time socializing in bars where often assaults result. What good ever comes out of going to places where the prospect of people losing control looms?

The ‘brains’ behind fake Trump electors was once a liberal Democrat. (SP) >The plot thickens. Atty Kenneth Cheseboro was once “mentored” by renowned Harvard Law professor Lawrence Tribe. He went over to the “dark side.” What happened? ⁦@tribelaw⁩ https://t.co/qEjWlYKfud

“Forget the Trump trials. He might already be ineligible for 2024.” (SP) > So, the 14th Amendment really rules out the FOOTWH from running for President. But, SCOTUS has a role to play? Hmm… https://t.co/149stJP8qf

and Austin (1st time there/loved it), 4. Sort through and donate books/mags, and 5. Do some armchair travel through a special friend’s overseas trip. It’s been a really nice summer. Brazil 🇧🇷 in the spring for a wedding. Maybe, a trip to a favorite city overseas in the fall?

Summer’s end: You can feel it in the air. Schools don’t reopen until Mon, 28 August. But, it just feels like change is about to happen. Had some goals this summer: 1.walk more, 2. spend time reading/enjoying the outdoors at a sidewalk café 2-3 x wk, 3. USA travel > St. Louis…1/

Update (SP): @NBCNews w/ Lester Holt this evening. The 6-year old’s mother appeared in court on State if Virginia charges. The boy is living w/his great grandfather and is “making progress.” A very long road, I think.
