@mpolymer1.bsky.social hey man. Long time no see. Would like to catch up some time, but not sure this is the place. Others from our group know how to contact me in a possibly less public way. Until then, take care. Jon

I've never had more respect for lawyers than I do now. It's lawyers who are leading the resistance. It's taking some time, but they're winning more than they are losing. The way Congress sits on their hands, it will be lawyers who save US democracy.

Expressing concern over the anti-government protests in Iran, Trump is considering "strong" military action there. Given the tenor of anti-government protests here in the US, just which side would he fire on?

Trump's comments on immigration will no doubt have a huge negative impact on foreign attendance to and participation in "Trump's" World Cup and Olympic games in the US. I feel bad for the US host cities, but I'm OK with people staying home.

Margorie Taylor Greene's resignation is either a very principled move*, a cry-baby "why-can't-you-be-nice-to-me" move, or the result of someone offering a lot of money to just go away. *ask Liz Cheney how that goes in MAGA world.

The CBS interview was a mess. Just because you get the interview doesn't mean you have to run it if it turns out to be shit. As it was, Trump rolled over Norah with his lies in the parts they did air, leaving one of the more telling parts on the cutting room floor.

So does he have the money to build the ballroom or no? And if no, if he leaves will he be leaving an unfinished hole in the White House? (And if he does already have the money just where are these donations going?)

"Gold trim and Ballroom do not convey." Wanna bet *if* Trump leaves, he'll take the gold decorations with him? He'll probably also want to claim "his" ballroom and lease it back to the USG.

Hell, the next step is to just ignore congress altogether and just spend w/o a budget deal. I've heard the Dems claim this aspect is too much "inside baseball" which the general public would not understand, but I think it should be mentioned at least as loudly as the healthcare subsidies.
