So last week I was watching one of those Luc Besson spy thrillers, and one of the characters had a briefcase full of classified documents. The cover pages were marked secret and top-secret, but the colored border, at least the red one that I noticed, extended all the way out to the edge of the paper.

It got me thinking that the pages the Trump had had a white border around the colored edges and I do recall that someone here mentioned that that happens with the copy machine, or that it can happen with a copy machine. If this is true, then the originals are already gone, possibly all of them . It may will be that the government does not want to state publicly that this is the case for a variety of reasons and it reminds me of the people who sat in chairs outside of Air Force bases, and watched the B2 bomber come and go, even though the government never acknowledged its existence until years later. .

I for one believe that he had prearranged the sale of documents, which he stole from the White House, and negotiated them immediately, because any delay would tend to devalue the information present in these classified documents. Again in the movies, the character always says “the latest intelligence states that…“. That’s the stuff you want… The latest intelligence.

Obviously, the powers that be know what’s going on here. I think they have deliberately uninformed us for many many reasons, most of them probably valid. Others, not so much.

But THE BIG STORY ON ACTION NEWS IS THAT BIDEN FELL leading to many questions about his age and inability to serve.

I’m not quoting but that was the open.

What a fucking idiot. Biden saves the world economy but “can he lead” because somebody left a sandbag in a pathway on a stage. Liberal media…my ass.

My guess is that there was more shit going on than we could ever imagine involving this debt ceiling business, and we make assumptions that there are simplistic machinations ongoing, but in fact, the complexities of this world are almost beyond imagination.

Here is an example of something which is of what I speak. I have listened to this for over 60 years and had no idea that the percussion had such complexity. I know some people hate it when one links to Facebook but I’m telling you this is worth it.

I was under the distinct impression that the FBI planted those documents. That’s what FOX told me during the first few days following the “raid” upon Merde a Loggo.

I would bet all my Trump-bucks that that happened.

In an article in Salon, the following sentence appears:

“Some members of the legal team have also questioned why relatively inexperienced 33-year-old lawyer Lindsey Halligan abruptly appeared in Trump's circle last year after defending him on Steve Bannon's podcast.”


Really…. They’re actually WONDERING??? Gee…lemme think for a moment….




Ah…could it be…?

The first thing I do every morning is to check the General Discussion page of DU to see if anything occurred while I was asleep, and the second thing I do is check my local Legacy.com in order to see who passed away. It is something I’ve done for decades and unfortunately, since death notices have apparently become fairly pricey, very few are “printed“ online and in the paper.

This morning, in a moment of whatever, I was looking at the new format of the website, and they have a button which will take you to celebrity deaths, starting with the most recent. I had no idea so many notable people have passed away in the last year and a half, which is where I stopped. As far as I know, a little or no mention, was made of many if not most of these passing in any milieu, which I saw, and was surprised, but certainly not shocked to see a lot of names which were a significant part of my youth and middle age.

Since I’m in my eighth decade, I have begun to reflect upon those whose lives were cut short, as well as those who lived extremely long and productive existences. I also think about my father, who was a four-year veteran of the Pacific theater in World War II, somehow survived, came back, a changed and forever affected man, and in a way he sacrificed not his life, but his sanity to some extent, and I pay tribute to him today, as well as all of those who sacrificed in the charnel house of War.

As an aside, as I was leaving my office on Thursday, which was my last day of work prior to the holiday, some of my coworkers wished me a “happy Memorial Day”and I thought that was both quite interesting and disheartening in many ways. And I wish everyone here, a tranquil day of reflection and enjoyment of life, for we never know how long we each have here on this Earth.

No…not that….

We are watching the HBO documentary which has all these Federal elected representatives and senators reading the Constitution. We are having a ball “poking fun” at the Republicans. For example, when Susan Collins came on, I yelled out: “You look CONCERNED!! Doesn’t she look concerned??” Having a late afternoon cocktail or two and screaming at the teevee machine is a real trip.

😁😁😁😁😁

In the tv series The Man In the High Tower, wherein the Germans and Japanese prevailed in WWII and divide the USA, all is going swimmingly….. until Hitler dies. Then it all begins to fall apart.

Just saying.

That was my takeaway from the series.

I believe that no truer concept has ever been written.

Just a meaningless OP. Doesn’t imply or mean a thing about anything. Really.

As most know here, I can’t stand that mealy-mouthed idjit. Talk about bothsiderism, every sentence he spews has both sides. Today’s bullshit had to do with DeSantis’s raising of money -eight million since the announcement which Lemire lectured us, is more than Trump raised in months

Yeah Jon, but you know what? Phil Gramm once intoned that he had a politician’s best friend: Ready money.

Well, President Gramm’s term I don’t recall too well, but it ain’t all about money, pal. I know you know this but you had best better bring some context to your discussions.

A lot of people would be very surprised

Old joke but true….

Here’s another: if my grandmother had wheels she’d be a locomotive.

These polls are meaningless. Just go to work and fight for democracy.
