Dayum... just breathtaking!

Any one of those photos would’ve been
perfect for some Audubon calendar. WUNNNNNderful photography! And the closer - of the little treasure in the nest - I thought - that’s not a chick in there is it? I had to zoom in to confirm. Amazing! What a “photo finish”!

Thanks so much for these, teamster633!

Yep, that's the life.

Like the seasoned investigators all agree:

Follow the money.

Go Avenatti! Go! All the way to the top!

I’m really liking this guy! He doesn’t lie or filibuster. So far he’s been thoroughly no-bullshit, no-nonsense, laser-focused, and highly credible. He’s really advanced the story and put a lot of meat on its bones. Seems to me his latest findings that close the circle connecting trump ‘n’ comp to the Russians prove what many of us believe: that there’s been BIGTIME collusion between trump and the Russians. His findings have connected many of the dots.

And yet he says he’s just getting started? Yikes! Must suck to be trump now AND on up the road.

Wasn't that one righteous rant he let fly about Pence?

Now THAT, for all you deplorables out there, is “tellin’ it like it is.” What YOU think is “tellin’ it like it is” - is actually an open confession to how shitty and racist the prevailing opinion on that side is. It says a mouthful about who too many of our fellow Americans actually think and feel. Their dirty little secret, of which they’re secretly so proud - now that trump has given them free license to speak and agree with this shot and embrace their inner shithead. He let them out of the closet and the attic and told them it was okay to feel and think like that. I think that’s why they’re so enthralled by him and stand by him so proudly and unapologetically.

They should be apologizing for those Neanderthal opinions. Instead, trump has validated them and urged them farther into along. It should be shameful and disgraceful to profess such things. Such behavior should be discouraged. Such behavior and attitudes should NOT be encouraged, rewarded, or reinforced. But trump IS doing all those things. And they’re lapping it up like a cat with a bowl of cream.

Would you raise your kids that way???

Lindsey Graham did release a statement.

Nothing earthshaking but supportive of McCain. Didn’t knock me off my feet but it was better than nothing - which is what we’ve heard from everybody and anybody else on that side of the aisle: a whole lotta nothing.

Works for me, MineralMan.

The label “Progressive” seems to be a turn-off. I don’t know why and I don’t think it should be. Maybe too many voters - a critical mass - aren’t comfortable with change that they perceive as too radical or too big a step or too extreme a step? Or they’re alienated by Bernie? Or they somehow wrongly embrace the misbegotten assumption that progressive = socialist = Communist?

I do not know.

Beat me to it!

That was my immediate reaction: I LIKE “the People’s Mueller”! Really like that, Mr. Ected!

Saved you from that mean ol' nasty leaf!

And hey, I just saw you eating some leaves, so I wanted to contribute!

That’s why they bring other catches like dead mice and rats and lizards in from the field.” Every one of the cats we allowed outdoors would bring a catch home and lay it down before us. We had one cat who caught not one but TWO moles! Remarkable considering moles are nearly blind and live underground. And this cat caught one and then later on, another one. We called it “kitty ice-fishing.”
