Bannon should be told to bring a toothbrush. If the hearing ends with a ruling that he should go to prison, there should be a prison bus waiting outside the courthouse. He should not be allowed several months to report to prison. Awfully presumptuous of you to assume that Bannon owns, or even knows...

Given how the Overton Window tends to move on this sort of thing, and with surprising swiftness, I am assuming that by 2028, either virtual roll calls will be normalized, *or* schedules of all states' ballot deadlines will be compared to schedules of nominating conventions so that this doesn't happe...

In the defendant's defense, the prosecutor, after COB before a holiday weekend, sent an email saying, "we're going to file this motion." With an offer to meet and confer on Monday, the prosecutor said, "Nah; we're filing tonight." I would not be surprised if this catches this ju...

Much hay is made of the impact that a draft has on a nation -- when you level out as much as possible the demography of who serves in a military, the potential losses are borne by everyone. I think what Chilidog notes above is part of the longer-term change. As we've moved to a volunteer force, wher...

NYT put this up as a brief postscript in their live updates feed on the Libertarian Convention thing (x-post to this and JFK Jr. thread): And he’s out: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was eliminated in the first round of voting for the Libertarian presidential nomination, with just 2.07 percent of the votes a...

In the hearing, that went over like a wet balloon.

Wrong.

Wet balloons still fly. Just shake 'em a little bit. That's not the saying.


Try a lead balloon, Frank.

Maybe he wanted to hint at "wet fart in church", which is how I think the saying goes?

Wonder what tonight's audience is going to look like, complexion-wise.. Also wonder if he's going to stick his foot in his mouth with some offhand racist comment.. Former President Donald Trump is set to hold a rally in deep-blue South Bronx, New York, on Thursday evening as he looks to court the H...

What screwed up Charlie Kirk's brain? Huffing glue...? Genetics...? Traumatic brain injury...? See, I was going to go all ironic-tragic about it and say that one time, as a child, he ate a whole fistful of little pink and white pills thinking they were candy, and he's hated those things ever since.

She wants to be VP soooo bad. Given his age and health. This was my running joke regarding the whole nightmare electoral tie scenario. Sure, the House chooses the Prez, but the Senate chooses the VP. Imagine the howls if he gets the House to install him, but the Senate puts in Veep Harris, and then...

Having quickly done my Google Fu, I will at least give Piscopo credit for not being a Johnny (Dangerously) Come-Lately. He campaigned for TFG as far back as '16, and toyed with a gubernatorial race of his own after his experiences doing so. So I'll give him some credit back for being sincere and not...

We’ll, this seems like an appropriate clip for Piscopo. :lol: :lol: :kiss: Having made my own late joke about this -- damn time zones -- but too lazy to put in a video, I am actually rather sad about Piscopo having drunk the Kool-Aid. I was a fan. This isn't as bad as Steven Seagal being off in Rus...

Clearly, you guys, what he *really* meant is that he's going to be totes bipartisan and drag Robert Reich back into his Cabinet when he's elected. And it's fake news for us to think otherwise.

On Friday, two additional Democratic candidates filed to run for Washington governor under the name Bob Ferguson. Right wing activist Glen Morgan posted on Facebook around 5 p.m. Friday saying he was the "volunteer campaign manager for two of the Bob Fergusons running for governor. They are bo...

Trump says he will ‘never advocate’ for contraception restrictions after earlier saying he’s ‘looking at’ them :snippity: The "We are looking at that" is his escape clause when he does not want to commit to anything in an interview. Here of course he steps right into the puddle :violin: O...

What it all comes down to, of course, is "Speculation by Counsel"; i.e., "at one point, one of my attorneys threw out some bullshit that we thought may work after the fact to make it legal, so I'm relying on that as my defense."

We’ll, this seems like an appropriate clip for Piscopo. :lol: :lol: :kiss: https://youtu.be/fZ_f29tQf0I?si=LOp3SIh6WmKZ_FUr Having made my own late joke about this -- damn time zones -- but too lazy to put in a video, I am actually rather sad about Piscopo having drunk the Kool-Aid.

When you've got Johnny Dangerously's Danny Vermin on your side, how can you be in the wrong?

TFG is always on the lookout for the reincarnation of Roy Freakin' Cohn.

He's gonna major in Ethics?

The UK has said it hopes to have the “world’s most effective border” by 2025 , but the watchdog said the strategy lacked “a clear timetable and an integrated cross-government delivery plan”, with individual departments responsible for implementing different aspects. True masters of aspirational gov...

The Dallas Police Department was busy kissing Trump’s ass. It always infuriates me seeing law enforcement shake this guys hand when they should be putting him in handcuffs. Proof that a lot of cops are cool with criminals, as long as they’re white collar extremists. By Trump's own standards of what...

I guess the landscaping business is working out okay. Maybe Rudy should have bought in as a partnership?

They should be banned.

Are you saying that air and water traverse national borders without permission?

Because this would be about the time some Greg Abbott encourages Texans to take over with a solution like *shooting* the air or the water.

In preparation for a new posting? Or a vacation to Singapore?

The latter but in reverse. Singapore is one of the easier vacation spots on this side of the world, so I've been alternating between it and Kuala Lumpur for my weekend getaways.
