Atticus's JournalThis "OMG! A 'source' close to Secret Service says" gobbledygook is the equivalent of
"SQUIRREL!!!"
Trump has responded to the testimony he behaved childishly in the Oval Office dining room:
"I'm rubber; you're glue!
Bounces off me and sticks to you!
NEENER-NEENER!"
After nailing Meadows, Ms Hutchinson to Vice-Chairman Cheney:
"Leave the testimony---bring the cannoli."
Simply the awareness that millions of those who heard Ms Hutchinson's testimony today would
still gleefully vote for Trump again is enough to make one fearful for our nation.
We can't let that fear lessen our determination to reclaim our democracy. That reclamation begins with bringing Trump and many of his aiders and abettors to justice.
How does one submit a bid to construct the planned steeple atop the SCOTUS building?
How about stained glass? Will it be put in all windows, or just those in selected chambers?
Contractors need this info ASAP!
We must begin looking into the mirror as these midterms approach and asking ourselves the
question Officer Jim Malone asked Elliot Ness in "The Untouchables": "What are you prepared to do?"
And, then, answer that question---really.
I know this has been asked before, but if the Republican "originalists" on the SCOTUS insist
that the words in the Constitution can only mean what they meant when the framers scrawled them down on parchment, how in the world can the sacred Second Amendment authorize possession of any firearm that is not a muzzle-loading black powder single-shot weapon?
Do ya think maybe the Constitution is a "living document" only when the actual words are inconvenient?
I wonder---in this era of "alternative facts" and a POTUS who set an all-time record for lies--
---do schools still give "true/false" exams?
If so, are there any "wrong" answers?
In 2016, we were the civil adults in the room". Republicans killed the Garland SCOTUS
nomination with their unprecedented refusal to even consider it.
In 2017, we again played the "civil adults in the room" role. The Republicans gleefully put Gorsuch into what should have been Garland's seat on the SCOTUS.
In 2018, we "CAITR" clucked and wrung our hands as "I like beer" Kavanaugh, credibly accused of sexual assault, was rammed through the Senate after his massive personal debts somehow "disappeared."
In 2020, weeks before the presidential election, Amy Coney-Barrett, a woman who believes God has ordained that women be ruled by men, was installed on what had become "Trump's court". We adults in the room civilly wagged our fingers at naughty Mitch.
I would be more descriptive, but I am a civil adult, so I'll just say that it is obvious that the SCOTUS now does its business in what used to be known as the "red light district".
What could go wrong?
I have been around for over 20 years and I have never blocked anyone, but there ARE a few
that I try mightily to ignore.
They are in my "just not worth it" category.
