The pieces have been there (well mostly) but the deliberate effort to obfuscate has made the puzzle one that Alan Turing would have had trouble with. Thanks to those who keep trying, despite the “Weaponization of the government” by republican evil. It has been and is deliberate and calculated, the goal, power at any cost…

Remember, this last election was supposed to give the House 25 GOP members. It didn't. Because of the work.

Also remember, Lauren Boebert only won by 554 votes last time. We can get out 555 voters with postcards and networking!

Many of us news nerds are aware of the pieces, and you are correct, propaganda media frames them in obfuscation as we attempt to keep the pieces connecting properly

Having a skilled journalist highlight the puzzle in context is critical; lis like being able to view the completed puzzle picture on the box ahead of time instead of having fit pieces together without reference

We WILL complete the puzzle eventually and then be on to the next

Yep! I’m right there with you as a retired Quality Nurse...love the process of a Root Cause Analysis and those pesky 5 why’s.

Please, what are the pesky 5 why's?

Its a problem solving tool that suggests by the time you ask “why did happen?” 5 times, you find the root cause of a problem

Thank you! My training is that "Why" is sometimes not a helpful question, in that it can stir up a defensive answer, "Why did you do that?" But perhaps this is different, asking Why did it happen? I'm going to try!

Every time I ever submitted a 5 Why (ugh), the reviewer didn’t agree with my Whys. They’d change them arbitrarily and I’d just say “ok, will you sign off on it now?”

Thanks for your reference to Alan Turing. For many reasons, I consider him both a hero and a martyr.

You hit it on the head Jeri, "Deliberate effort to obfuscate" is the bottom line. As much as these wannabe actors, who have no interest in legislating, try to muddy the waters, their intention is simplistic. These mostly white people know that they can't keep winning elections based on the up and up because their numbers are dwindling. The answer? Close the borders, keep Blacks away from the polls at all cost, and guard our youth from history and the truth. As their web begins to fray they will only continue their ridiculousness to foment on steroids.For all of his stupid behaviors, Bill Barr somehow knew that they might land his ass in jail and turned course. Why? Because of groups and individuals who put truth and justice over their careers: The 1/6 Select Committee, Fani Willis, Letitia James, Jack Smith, etc. There IS hope. I'm betting all my currency on our youth. Their intelligence is being insulted and they are taking action. It is because of them, against all odds, that we did well enough in the midterms. High school students are suing DeSantis over proposing cancelling African American studies because the course "significantly lacks educational value." I predict that Kevin McCarthy and his antics will blurr away in history as did the old McCarthyism....

I found most interesting the spinning that Billy Bob did. Drinks with the special counsel...that's rich. Btw, I read Snyder yesterday and posted it on to my Facebook page.
