In other political/Beatles crossover, I was reading the other day about “attorney John Eastman” who advised VP Mike Pence that he could reject the states’ certified electoral votes, and thought, oh what the heck? But it’s some other attorney John Eastman.

I like the Mad Day out meme. It really looks like Ringo is admiring those mittens!
