And back to early comments in thread re Airbus, wasn’t some Rethuglican “leader” busily projecting today about the Dems turning America into France?

Any Mississippians hereabouts to give us the flavah of the special election down there today?

But the court coverage (and the jurors’ comments) sure sounded like “Anna” was a classic “honey trap” entrapment.

A former juror in the case tells of a much different “cautionary tale.” One of the dangers of unchecked police powers and kangaroo courts.

So sad to see what my government has become. I can’t wait to discuss this on the “snitch” book salon this sunday.

Oh – and the Feds’ JTTF is looking for new informants to infiltrate vegan potlucks in Minneapolis before the RNC. I feel safer already – I’ll be able to enjoy my weekly grass-fed beef in peace, I guess.

Ain’t life in the Green Scare grand?
