Jon Stewart returned to the air and split sides with a rant about undeniable truth that both Biden and Trump are exceedingly old and therefore both men share the same burden of proving their competence to the electorate. “What the f@ck are we doing?” was the gist of it.

No spring chicken, Stewart ought to know that the consequences of the two options being so radically different, it’s wrong to put them on the same decrepit plane.

So, yeah, D-minus out of the gate.

Age, in other words, is now beside the point. The two (presumptive) nominees are pulling in utterly different directions toward completely different visions of the future, and any schtick that occludes that fact, has to be called out for what it is.

Dangerous nonsense.

I have been supporting Northern Lights Wildlife Society shelter in Smithers, B.C. for some time now - ever since I saw their programs on Knowledge Network. They are not streaming right now but I expect they will be back in due course.

Listening to a webinar and Phyllis Bennis, a board member at Jewish Voice for Peace, shared this resource for anyone wanting to learn more about tax dollars and where they could go instead of to endless wars:

63/ Wait... 9 am??? That's 6 am my time.

Sorry, I can't live post at that hour. No way.

You're on your own.

62/ Trumpy/Rudy/Schmucky lawyers are done.

Cross will start her questioning at 9am ET tomorrow. She's off the stand til then.

But more is going on. Cross will call about 3-4 witnesses.

So they're just doing housekeeping now. And I don't care.

I'm exhausted.

61/ Bower:

Willis says that maybe the dinners they had together amounted to more than $100. But she says she's probably never had more than $100 worth of food in her life.

Now Gillen is up for David Shafer. He asks about the trip she took Wade on to Belize for his birthday.

59/ Bower:

MacDougald asks Willis about financial disclosure form she filled out as DA. She didn't disclose any gifts received over $100.

MacDougald: You didn't receive more than $100 in gifts from Nathan Wade?

Willis: I never considered that I took anything from him...

58/ MacDouggall just told to "sit down now"... he was trying to say Fani took gifts. She didn't.

56/ Stephen Fowler:

o far, nearly an entire day in, there hasn't really been any connection/through line/discussion backing up the claims that Wade/Willis are personally profiting from carrying on this prosecution, part of the *legal* challenge.

54/ Here we go, via Bower:

No more questions from Sadow.

Allyn Stockton, on behalf of Rudy Giuliani, is up next.

Stockton: You've never been to Austrailia with Mr. Wade?

Willis: No. I didn't even know he went there in December.

53/ New lawyer asking Q but Hammy was barking and I couldn't hear. I'll try to find more.

52/ Recap via Bower:

Sadow: Did your relationship w/ Wade end before or after the indictment?

Willis: Well, he's a man, so he would probably say before. The physical relationship ended June or July 2023. But in my mind we didn't end until August because women need to have a conversation about it.

“I don't need anything from a man. A man is not a plan. A man is a companion...I don't need anybody to foot my bills. The only man who ever paid my bills completely is my daddy!" --Fani Willis
