Wednesday - In Manhattan it felt like 99 in the shade. Jim Jordan was channeling Joe McCarthy during the House Judiciary Committee hearing

Yes, it's summer, almost August, and Manhattan is supposed to be hot. But damn, day after day this heat just wears on. I like getting out for a walk but on days like today, I am tempted to stay in the AC.

In Washington, alleged pedophile enabler Jim Jordan, a Repulsive Representative from Ohio just dripped bile while going off topic - the topic was supposed to be competition in the digital marketplace - to attack the CEO of Alphabet for allegedly censoring Conservative voices. His face was full of anger but I didn't feel he was really angry, just putting on a show for the cameras. He claimed to be defending freedom of speech but the only freedom of speech he seemed to care about was that of the far right. I imagine if Sundar Pichai said, "oh no, we are going to do our best to make sure the President is reelected," Jordan would've shut up.

If I am not mistaken, in the US corporations have free speech protections, and McCarthy, I mean Jordan, doesn't give a hoot about that if they might say somethnig against his positions, which are somewhere to i the neighborhood of Franco. Everyone to his left is a socialist and there is almost nobody to his right.

Meanwhile sTrumpet, during an interview for Axios, admitted he said nothing to Putin about bounties paid to the Taliban for killing American soldiers. He hemmed and hawed, well we helped arm the opposition when the Soviets were fighting in Afghanistan, but that fell flat, so claimed the intelligence brief never reached his desk, then hemmed and hawed some more and said something about how people are always going on about Russia, but what about China? Well sorry to tell you Mr. Boogers for Brains, but we know you asked the Chinese for election help, and we have been going on about China gangbusters.

Unelect Trump - he has proven he is just not up to the job.

And Ohioans, do something and dump Jim Jordan, a demagogue already, and probably a criminal.

The photos tonight were taken this morning and during the middle of the day. Manhattan is still a bit of a ghost town, as you can see. But most people wear masks.
