The word of the year is here!

I don't know about you but this week has been quite a year. While it's not official yes, the word of the year is Fafo. You mostly see it used in caps: FAFO.
Let me show you one example. Heather Cox Richardson writes: And then there is this, a big FAFO to the Hispanic/Latin Community. it's still better than what it said originally: Go Home. I could go on, but Bob covered much of it yesterday. Speaking of Bob, we are now in a same-sex marriage.
Sadly, FAFO is going to affect all of us. That said, don't give up. Never give up.

Let me show you one example. Heather Cox Richardson writes:
The country’s largest police union, the Fraternal Order of Police, has spoken out against the pardons, as has the International Association of Chiefs of Police. The Wall Street Journal editorial board wrote: “Law and order? Back the blue? What happened to that [Republican Party]?” “What happened [on January 6, 2021] is a stain on Mr. Trump’s legacy,” it wrote. “By setting free the cop beaters, the President adds another.”
Mark Jacob of Stop the Presses commented: “Republicans—the Jailbreak Party.” (snip)
As Josh Funk reported in the Associated Press, Trump also fired the head of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), responsible for keeping the nation’s transportation systems safe. He also fired all the members of the Aviation Security Advisory Committee, mandated by Congress after the 1988 bombing of PanAm flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, to review safety in airports and airlines.
Sadly, FAFO is going to affect all of us. That said, don't give up. Never give up.

I wonder how many of those J6 criminals getting pardons understand that accepting those pardons is an admission of guilt, and they'll not be able to appeal those convictions.

I don't think they will care until they don't get a job because of it.

JFC.
The aide intervened last June, citing concerns that a subpoena could expose the texts, according to the correspondence and the person, who requested anonymity to speak candidly about private conversations. Johnson revived the investigation this week as part of an effort by President Donald Trump and his allies to seek retribution against perceived political enemies, including those who investigated his role in the Capitol attack.
In a meeting following the June conversation, Johnson (R-Louisiana.) and senior aides also conveyed to Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-Georgia) and members of his staff that issuing a subpoena to Hutchinson and asking her to testify under oath would serve as another opportunity for her to retell her story and potentially embarrass the Trump White House, according to two people present for the meeting.
