There you go man, keep as cool as you can. Face piles and piles of trials with smiles. It riles them to believe that you perceive the web they weave. And keep on thinking free. (Moody Blues)

Completely different plane of existence...........

Woman charged in Capitol riot asks judge to let her take vacation in Mexico

(CNN)A Texas woman charged in connection with the Capitol insurrection has asked a federal judge to let her travel to Mexico for a "work-related bonding retreat," according to court records.

Jenny Cudd, a flower shop owner and unsuccessful mayoral candidate from Midland, wrote to a federal judge on Monday asking for permission to visit Riviera Maya, Mexico, for a four-day retreat this month. The court docket for her case doesn't yet show a response from the judge.

She was charged with two misdemeanors -- knowingly entering a restricted building and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds -- and was released shortly after her arrest in January. The Justice Department didn't try to keep her jail before trial, an aggressive move they've reserved for the handful of riot-related defendants accused of violent crimes and conspiracies.

A lawyer representing Cudd previously told CNN she plans to plead not guilty. Her lawyers have also said in court filings that she is complying with all the court-ordered conditions of release.

Cudd's lawyers did not response to emails and calls on Wednesday seeking comment about her trip to Mexico. They said in court filings that even before the Capitol attack, she was planning to visit Riviera Maya, a tourist hotspot near Cancun that has stayed busy during the pandemic.

In court filings, the Justice Department has described Cudd as unrepentant for her role in the insurrection, citing her comments in Facebook posts and interviews shortly after the riot.

"F--- yes, I am proud of my actions, I f---ing charged the Capitol today with patriots today. Hell, yes, I am proud of my actions," Cudd said in the Facebook video, according to court records.

Well, maybe this is a thing with Trump MAGA domestic terrorists. Instead of going to Disneyland, they go to Mexico..... and party with the people they can't stand......

And the level of lameness continues to inspire awe.......

The single most ridiculous dodge by a Republican senator on Marjorie Taylor Greene

(CNN)Even as President Joe Biden works to shore up Democratic support for his $1.9 trillion Covid-19 stimulus plan and the country remains in a pitched fight against the virus, all the political world is talking about these days is Marjorie Taylor Greene.

The Georgia Republican congresswoman's series of extreme and intolerant comments and social media posts have forced House Republicans to consider whether she should be stripped of her committee assignments -- and prompted a debate over whether Greene's decidedly Trump-y version of conservatism has a place in the GOP tent.

It's a massive story -- and one that affects the future of every single Republican elected official in the country.
So, what does Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville make of all of the MTG mishigas?

"I haven't looked at what all she's done," the freshman senator told CNN's Ted Barrett on Tuesday. "I'd have to hold back a statement on that...[I've] been traveling. This weather's been a little rough. [Didn't] look at any news or whatever."

Uh, WHAT?

The weather didn't allow a United States senator to know about the Marjorie Taylor Greene story?
I mean, yes, there was snow in DC this week. And surely, that likely complicated Tuberville's travel plans. But here's what it didn't do: Make it so that cable TV, the internet and phones stopped working.

Canada labels Proud Boys a terrorist group

Canada labeled the Proud Boys a terrorist group Wednesday, increasing international pressure on the self-proclaimed “Western chauvinist” organization.

The far-right group has gained a broader platform in recent years with its vocal backing of former President Trump, engagement in street fights and Trump telling the group to “stand back and stand by” when he was asked to condemn white supremacy, a remark the group interpreted as a sign of support.

The group's notoriety skyrocketed following the alleged involvement of some of its members in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol. Federal prosecutors last week announced the first conspiracy charges against members of the Proud Boys over their role in the deadly attack.

Canadian Public Safety Minister Bill Blair said in the aftermath of the Jan. 6 attack that he was collecting evidence of groups that played a role in the insurrection. A terror designation would allocate more investigative tools to law enforcement and allow the freezing of the group’s assets or members' property. It is a crime to knowingly provide assistance to a designated group, though being a member of the organization is not in itself against the law.

“They are all hateful, intolerant and we have seen they can be dangerous,” Blair said Wednesday in announcing the designation. “We have seen the type of tragic results that this kind of extremism can bring to Canada.”

Uh-oh............

Scottish lawmakers want to investigate Trump purchase of golf courses

Scottish lawmakers are urging the government to start an investigation into former President Trump and the Trump Organization in order to determine where he got the funds to buy two golf courses in their country.

The Washington Post reports that the effort is being led by Green Party lawmakers who want First Minister of Scotland Nicola Sturgeon to ask for an “unexplained wealth order” from the Scottish courts.

An “unexplained wealth order” would prompt an accounting investigation, not criminal in nature. The Post reports that if the Trump Organization is unable to prove the money it used to make its purchases is clean, then the Scottish government could confiscate the properties.
