Which sort of explains the insane lawfare directed at Trump — no one ever considered him a boy scout, it’s not like Trump himself pretended to be anyone but who he was — so, to prop up the very unpopular Biden/Harris, the hunt to throw stuff at the wall to see what sticks took off in earnest with the decades old Stormy Daniels he said/she said tittle tattle.  It was not the court’s finest hour.

If I were a Democrat (my father would be so proud) I would have to ask why there are no other candidates lined up to pick up the Biden pieces as he appears to be  struggling to stay erect these days. O, silly me, I forgot about the first female president of color standing in the wings! Mr Unpopular and Mis Unpopular, side by side!  God help us all!

You don't have to be a Democrat to believe in the rule of law, just an American who believes in our country. Apparently too high a bar for many Republicans.

my “malaise” got  a name today: Covid.

Get the Paxlovid ASAP.  The last time I had it (November 23) was definitely the worst thus far. Regardless of what people say, it's not something to be taken lightly.  

In spite of our countless differences, I wish you a mild case and a speedy recovery.

Well ….this time around he got the popular vote.

Memorial Day

Humidity and mild temps (around 70⁰) today with perhaps another shower or two until this afternoon

A second line of heavier showers is forecast to come through the area this afternoon or evening. There is a slight chance of thunder with this afternoon's storms, and gusty winds are not out of the question. There is a very slight chance of hail and high winds.

I'm not going to waste time refuting this obviously ridiculous Kyiv Post article about why Russia can't win.  Let's see if drummerboy accuses you of not being in reality. Ha!

I charged you with a very specific falsehood - which you conveniently simply ignored.

I especially like the crimson clover

Bill Walton was an amazing basketball player, both at UCLA and as a young pro, leading Portland to four straight victories over my 76ers in the 1977 NBA Finals after losing the first two games. That hurt.

Walton was also by all accounts a great guy. A few years ago he graciously posed for a photo with my son and a friend before calling a Pac 12 game. (His garrulous enthusiasm at the mic was a taste I never acquired, but lots of viewers loved him.)

An all-time athlete and character. May he rest in peace and love.

Richard Sherman, beloved songwriter of Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious and many many other Disney film songs, has died aged 95 years.

Truly, flights of angels will sing to his memory for decades to come. 

We’re tired of trump and all his nonsense. He could still run for president from jail, he could still vote in November, the red donation site crashed after his supporters started donating money for him. I want to see him convicted in federal court before I start celebrating. This guy is a slippery, slimy creature, who’s also very dangerous. I’m glad he’s a convicted felon, and hopefully he’ll lose some of the votes he would’ve gotten if he was acquitted. I guess the only time we’ll stop hearing his name is when he’s dead and gone.

I think it's darker than that -- he understands perfectly well how trials work, and is purposely undermining trust in our justice system. You know that if he wins a second term, he'll be whining about how all the "criminals" he's having disappeared in the middle of the night have too many rights.

Yes, you are correct. His aim, and the aim of those who work for his candidacy, is to appeal to the ignorance of the voters he is targeting.
