But he knew exactly what he was doing, so we can't rehabilitate his image as a collaborator.

I must say, that is a long way to go only to discover that another place may want you to go a lot farther still, perhaps all the way, as it were.

Yeah, "may" is not the word I would use. I would say, "There will be no judicial nominees."

I like that we live in this fucked up age where a President admits to a federal crime but we already knew about it and the networks even gleefully participated

Yeah, JD, it's the illegal part that riles people. It's the part where I unwittingly gave a couple sense to the promotion of Nazi bullshit because you guys decided to use taxpayer money to promote Nazi bullshit.

Iran's lack of nuclear weapons does kind of hinder their ability to nuke cities. Still, as usual, a hopeful message

Right, Alexandre Yersin, who gave his name to the bacteria as he was one of the first to identify it, looked at it very strongly.

Unfortunately, it's also a conscience interpreted through an encyclopedic knowledge of Monty Python's Flying Circus, but I do try.

Normally, you'd be upset about them doing not much, but if they did take back the Senate, making sure judicial appointment go unfilled is - in this instance - a good "not much".

Yeah, except EOs do not reach beyond federal agencies, so that would help no one.

No. If there is to be any hope of a serviceable future, it must come with accountability, even if all they can manage to do is lay the foundation for it to come. This shit was overlooked once and we cannot overlook it again.

It never was an accident. All of them, if they know anything at all, know these images from the 1930s. I am sure Hegseth has seen "Triumph Of The Will" multiple times.

Russia ending its ability to wage war by an accidental plague release would be a very Russia way to go out.

I am sure that if Hinojosa beats Abbott, other races notwithstanding for a second, which I would think is a jump ball at best, the GOP would probably go apeshit in a way that they might not have even achieved with Romney.

I think it was Gerald Casale of DEVO who said, in their documentary, something to the effect that they did not want to be right, and certainly not in this way. I believe this to be a good example of "de-evolution" all the same.

You know, my biggest complaint about Florida isn't just its backwater outlook - that's always been the case really. It's such a contrived place on every level, whose only realizable asset is the absence of shitty winter weather when the odd Andrew or Camille isn't crossing nearby.

US resident here and in a border metro region - we don't get to have a cacophony of voices. There doesn't get to be, in my case, "Metro Detroit" and all of its mayors, councils and representatives and then up to Trump. The way it works is that one voice - very unfortunately - does the speaking.

(the strangest item that I ever saw in those drawers on a trip to her office then was the alternator from a Buick. I didn't ask. Whoever had the time to do that surgery at lunch deserved grudging respect with the restitution suit.)

For a time, my mother was a vice principal, and the two drawers of just confiscated items, I recall, probably would have been a few thousand in early 80s dollars. Those are some very vivid descriptions and I actually found myself hearing my mother talk about what she would of her days sometimes.
