Let’s cancel the guy whose response when told an Ohio State doctor molested his athletes was to say “I have nothing to do with this” and walk away.

Hey, remember the mystery illness that struck American diplomats?

Well, this might be the answer:

The mysterious neurological symptoms experienced by American diplomats in China and Cuba are consistent with the effects of directed microwave energy, according to a long-awaited report by the National Academies of Sciences that cites medical evidence to support the long-held conviction of American intelligence officials.

The report, obtained Friday by NBC News, does not conclude that the directed energy was delivered intentionally, by a weapon, as some U.S. officials have long believed. But it raises that disturbing possibility.

NBC News reported in 2018 that U.S. intelligence officials considered Russia a leading suspect in what some of them assess to have been deliberate attacks on diplomats and CIA officers overseas. But there was not — and is not now — conclusive intelligence pointing in that direction, multiple officials who have been briefed on the matter said.

A team of medical and scientific experts who studied the symptoms of as many as 40 State Department and other government employees concluded that nothing like them had previously been documented in medical literature, according to the National Academies of Sciences report. Many reported hearing a loud sound and feeling pressure in their heads, and then experienced dizziness, unsteady gait and visual disturbances. Many suffered longstanding, debilitating effects.
...

In the last year, as first reported by GQ Magazine, a number of new incidents have been reported by CIA officers in Europe and Asia, including one involving Marc Polymeropoulos, who retired last year after a long and decorated career as a case officer. He told NBC News he is still suffering the effects of what he believes was a brain injury he sustained on a trip to Moscow.

A source directly familiar with the matter told NBC News the CIA, using mobile phone location data, had determined that some Russian intelligence agents who had worked on microwave weapons programs were present in the same cities at the same time that CIA officers suffered mysterious symptoms. CIA officials consider that a promising lead but not conclusive evidence.

Gaetz is a prominent young Republican who just stood up to the aging out of touch GOP by telling young and impressionable Republicans that cannabis is an important part of the future of the country in terms of the economy, advances in medicine, righting social wrongs (disparate prison rates for blacks and browns) etc. Total douche, yes, but he's young and brash and got the hair and likely has a keen grasp on how to maintain Trump's base. He's laying a foundation for much bigger things in '24 and beyond. For president in '24? I don't know. Perhaps for VP considerations. But if anyone is going to carry the Trump Torch™ it's going to be Matt Gaetz. You can smell it a mile away.

Also, he wasn't just talking to young Republicans with that speech. Anyone who believes in transformative cannabis legislation (Dems, Libertarians) should have listened to that speech and thought, "Damn, Matt Gaetz just said that? I'm impressed."

Trumpers, when Gates Gaetz walks into the room:

EDIT: Damn you Siri and your autocorrect. Although the attempt to change it Gretzky the second time through was interesting, it was still wrong.

Meh. Gaetz is going to crash and burn. He's either going to kill someone while driving under the influence, or he's gay (not popular among GOP power brokers) or there's something weird about the s0-called Cuban son. Matt is propped up by Daddy's money and, eventually, there won't be enough to cover his sins.

I need to land this plane today, I won't be posting when Donald is on the ground in Georgia.

@maumann put this song in my head with his post about Georgia:

I knew Vicki was married the guy who wrote it. First husband, not Big Al, the second.

So I decide to Google the first husband and he wrote a few hits, including one made famous by a guy who seemed to be the co-host every other fucking week on the Mike Douglas show.

Guy could make a cricket noise. I liked the Mike Douglas show, but the cricket thing made me want to go all Elvis on the tv.

Anyway, enjoy:

Does anybody else confuse Bobby Goldsboro and Bobby Sherman?

I saw it, and while I could expect the use of the term "mellon" in describing the picture, it being used in reference to Gaetz is the surprising part.

Some of those “young” republicans don’t seem that young.
And there are probably going to be a lot of sick “young” republicans soon.
And Sarah palin?
