Show Trials “R” Us The preliminary hearing for Tyler Robinson, accused assassin of Charlie Kirk, is underway. It’s been action packed so far, with conservative apologists claiming that grainy video showing a figure alleged to be Robinson at Utah Valley University on the day of the shooting is explosive “evidence” that he was the lone, guilty party. As if this footage- which never shows the individual’s face clearly- wasn’t enough, witnesses reported that grieving widow Erika Kirk was seen frequently dabbing her eyes with a tissue. This is, of course, one of her signature moves, and a sure fire indication…

House Republicans are next set to push to attach numerous conservative amendments to the National Defense Authorization Act in a bid to solidify GOP support to pass the bill as soon as Wednesday. Most Democrats are expected to oppose the bill over its record price tag and President Donald Trump’s pursuit of the Iran war.
