Wingnut Wrapup

It's been a while, but it's a little hard to get worked up about what some doofus in St. Louis thinks, when we have a raving lunatic in the White House.  anyway, here we go: Matt Vespa, Town Hall:  "Sorry Liberals, Ellison and DWS Remained Seated During Roughy Two-Minute Standing Ovation Honoring Fallen Navy SEAL's Widow" This is more important than two hundred Republicans in Congress conspiring to cover up treason.  And by the way, it's not true, not that that matters to Republicans.

The Mayor caved. On March 5th, the Royals were informed that they would not be permitted to take the field as an integrated group. Rickey was concerned for Robinson’s life...
