Botany
Botany's JournalI am really home now from the hospital/nursing home stay starting in mid October to January 31st.
Why? My 110 lbs yellow Labrador is now with me in my little house. 🐶
She misses my son, his family (daughter in law, 2 daughters, and their dachshund) where
she was staying as I was medical prison but she seems to have adapted to being back
with me now. She slept by me when I was on the sofa and when I went to bed she hopped
up sometime when I was sleeping. We just had a nice walk and considering that I couldn’t
walk @ Xmas and New Years it was wonderful.
Btw my 6 year old grand daughter has been crying from even before Pepita left their home
to come be with me. I will have to schedule some visits soon. Pepita really loved her new
family. She used to go and sleep under the younger girl’s crib or sleep with my son and his
wife.
Judge Engoron didn't forget "the kids" aka Gummy and Cokie. 4 million each w/interest going back to '22
ORDERED that defendant Eric Trump is liable to plaintiff in the amount of $4,013,024, with
pre-judgment interest from May 11, 2022; and it is further ORDERED that defendant Donald Trump, Jr. is liable to plaintiff in the amount of $4,013,024.

No wonder Princess Sparkle Pony aka Ivanka got out of “the family business” not long after
Trump left the White House. Any doubt that she has given testimony about that business.

ABC: FBI informant charged with lying about Joe and Hunter Biden's ties to Ukrainian energy company
Edit DUer Qutzupalotl had already posted much of this yesterday
WASHINGTON -- An FBI informant has been charged with fabricating a multimillion-dollar bribery scheme involving President Joe Biden, his son Hunter and a Ukrainian energy company, a claim that is central to the Republican impeachment inquiry in Congress.
Alexander Smirnov falsely reported to the FBI in June 2020 that executives associated with the Ukrainian energy company Burisma paid Hunter and Joe Biden $5 million each in 2015 or 2016, prosecutors said in an indictment. Smirnov told his handler that an executive claimed to have hired Hunter Biden to “protect us, through his dad, from all kinds of problems,” according to court documents.
Prosecutors say Smirnov in fact had only routine business dealings with the company in 2017 and made the bribery allegations after he “expressed bias” against Joe Biden while he was a presidential candidate.

The informant’s claims have been central to the Republican effort in Congress to investigate the president and his family, and helped spark what is now a House impeachment inquiry into Biden. An attorney for Hunter Biden, who is expected to give a deposition later this month, said the charges show the probe is "based on dishonest, uncredible allegations and witnesses.”

So the informant that the MAGA Republicans in Congress were using to bring about
impeachment charges against President Biden is now in jail and charged with lying
to the FBI?

Washington Post
For several months, Comer in particular publicly pushed for the release of an FBI interview form documenting the allegation — an allegation provided to the bureau by an informant who claimed to have been told about the bribe by a Ukrainian businessman. Grassley slowly leaked out new details from the interview document, such as a claim that there might be telephone recordings of the parties involved in the alleged bribe, including President Biden and his son, Hunter Biden. Eventually, Grassley released the whole document.
As it turns out, the Justice Department was working on the verifiability of the allegation. On Thursday, it unsealed an indictment: The informant who alleged that he’d been told about the bribe had allegedly made the whole thing up.

I'm nuttier than a squirrel turd but Joe Biden as Vice President and as a member of the Senate Intelligence
….. committee was allowed to take top secret documents to his home to work on them. It
wasn’t until January of 2017 with the incoming Trump Administration which our intelligence
community had already identified as being corrupted by multiple contacts with agents and
organizations that were Russian in origin that such take home practices were suspended.
Mike Pence as Vice President violated that directive and Trump pissed on tons of laws and
protocols by stealing the documents he took with him as he was leaving the White House
in disgrace.
Biden did nothing wrong except for failing to return some documents and when he or his
people found them they turned them back in to the proper authorities.
"I don't want to hear about mental health"... (from energized lib's thread)
Because if it is “a mental health thing” then why are we letting crazy people
have guns (assault weapons )?
This is madness.
Its the guns
My heart is heavy. America can do so much better than this. As a father and a grandfather I
feel for the victims, the families, the friends, and the loss of joy today in K.C..
Children were shot too according to what I saw on MSNBC. I could only take 10 minutes or so.
Btw fuck the NRA and all those 2nd Amendment Gun Humpers
A thought for now ..... NY's 3rd district is an example of "the dog who finally caught the car."
Republicans and the SCOTUS just had to take away a woman’s right to health care and control
over their own bodies. And this will be a major factor across America in the 2024 elections.
Freedom of religion also means freedom from religion too.
Ron Johnson, "Putin will not lose. He's not gonna lose."
In the same interview, the GOP senator — the former chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee — criticized U.S. sanctions before concluding, “A lot of the points that Vladimir Putin made are accurate. They’re obvious.”
On Capitol Hill, Johnson pushed a similar line. Politico reported:
Ukraine opponents met late Monday evening and came out resolving to delay the bill as long as they can, even if it requires holding the Senate floor overnight. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) said they will use as “much time as we can” on the Senate floor. “We’re not helping Ukraine at this point in time. We’re fueling a bloody stalemate. It makes no sense,” Johnson said after the meeting.It’s a position rooted in the idea that the United States would go a long way toward “helping Ukraine” if we curtailed aid and made it easier for Russia to win faster.

Can Ron Johnson be anymore of a Putin ass kisser? Russia has been getting its ass kicked and
will continue to be beaten as long as the Putin Caucus aka the Free Dumb Caucus and pro Putin
Republicans in the senate don’t block America’s support of our alley the brave people of the Ukraine.
I am tired of all of it aka Trump, the trials, and how he is still in the media 24/7. I need him to go away.
When President Obama left office knowing that Russia had installed him he still had the
grace to stay out of the headlines but not Trump. For the love of God can’t he just die
and or be put into the Federal Super Max Prison in Colorado.
