Cat friends: you may have seen my posts about our new baby tuxies Tux and Juniper, both one year and several months old. In other words, kittens, and so, so cute. Of course they are both fixed, from the rescue org we adopted them from. However Tux, our male kitty, keeps trying to mount little Junipe...

Already tried.

Appeals court lets Trump off the hook: bond lowered to $175 million. (MSNBC)

When will they be listed on the stock exchange?

“Does anyone know who Al Capone is? He’d take a guy like JD and slap him around. Who the hell are you, senator?” I hesitate to ask, but why is he going after Vance (who isn't even on this year's ballot)? (Brown is the Ohio senator standing for election this year.) I get that Vance beat Dolan in the...

There is, Tek, but none of the MAGA hordes care. They think the richest people in the world SHOULD bail out their Orange Emperor.

Tom Fitten, head of Judicial Watch, gave Trump that idea. Fitten is not a lawyer.

I didn't intend to--but I am getting excited to watch the Oscars because of Fashion. Have only seen two of the nominees--American Fiction and Nyad.

Trump announces plans to fact-check the address via Truth Social. As if he would recognize a fact even if it bit him on his flabby orange ass.

In my view we are where we are as a result of the cowardice, incompetence and sloth of one man. Merrick Garland. He prosecuted the privates and let the officers get away. He finally moved after the January 6 Committee did most of his work for him. And then he appointed a Special Counsel. Why didn't...

Happy birthday!

When is Judge McAfee up for re-election? Anyone know? Fulton County is 45% black so that's a lot of voters he will piss off if he rules in favor of the openly racist defense lawyers.

Excellent column by Jay Kuo on the sordid hit job against Willis

I do not think that the SC will decide in favor of Trump on his claim of immunity. And I think that could be a positive result. If the SC rejects immunity before the election, the ruling will receive widespread publicity across the country and the takeaway will be that Trump is not immune for crime...

"I honestly hope that at some point soon, Dark Brandon holds a presser and reminds folks that if SCOTUS says a president has full immunity for anything and everything he does while in office, quote, “I’m canceling the election and throwing trump in jail. Bite me.”" Stolen from Jeffro on Ba...

Cannon's decision: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.flsd.648653/gov.uscourts.flsd.648653.346.0_2.pdf I don't know enough about the CIPA issues to critique the decision, but someone who does posted that she wrongly rejected the Special Prosecutor's statutory analysis and said tha...

I ask again, as a voice screaming in the wilderness, whytf do the cell phone records matter to anything? This whole shitshow is nothing but a salacious, racist, misogynoir attack on a black female prosecutor. It would never happen to a white male and especially not a white male Republican. Look at M...

Don Jr. will try to pick up the fallen flag. He will fail abysmally and be laughed at for generations.

On Rachel Maddow tonight they are raising the issue of how Trump will pay these penalties. Saudi Arabia is the leading candidate.

I just think calling out racism and sexism in righteous anger after years of attacks is a good thing.

Hard not to see righteous anger in Fani's situation.

Really excellent commentary by Lucian K. Truscott IV. He aligns with Portia's (and my) views. For those unfamiliar, he is a descendant of Thomas Jefferson.

He's declared bankruptcy multiple times.

But not since running for/becoming President.
