You'll get the Nobel Prize

When they pry it from my cold, dead hands.

It would be amusing if it weren’t so sick.

As I sit here and watch this unfold I think that

if you substituted the clause “Trump, Miller, and Giuliani marched fifty individuals out onto the White House lawn and machine-gunned them with a mounted .50 caliber weapon” for the clause “phoned a foreign leader for a political quid pro quo” you’d hear the same verbiage “FROM BOTH SIDES”

Can’t effing stand it anymore....Rethugs defend anything he does or did, Dems speak in measured, logical tones. Where is the outrage? This is what gets through to people.

Sorry. Just venting.

Trump's contact, Ibin Yurkinoff left the US

bound for Moscow.

Says Trump: the left hand doesn’t know what the right hand is doing.

Now I'm REALLY upset...

The actor Peter Lupus of the Mission: Impossible TV series was a member of Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s volunteer posse in Arizona.
That was my favorite show as a kid and now THIS!

For this I really must give Trump full credit and appreciation:

I was sitting on the toilet trying to take a dump this morning and it was no go. Then I read some of the replies to some of the threads here about the Sharpie Maneuver and I started convulsing so hard that my reflexes took over and...SUCCESS!!

Thank you, Agolf Hitler for your inspiration: it made my day much easier here at work.

But he HAS shot someone in the middle of 5th Avenue...

By incarcerating adults and children needlessly he raised the index of morbidity AND MORTALITY significantly for these individuals. There will be “otherwise preventable” illnesses and deaths due to his bigotry and hatred of all things brown. This is tantamount to murder.

Suppose a dentist did not sterilize his or her equipment and instruments or use fresh disposable supplies. There is no question that disease would be propagated widely and certain early death would result at some places in the timeline until he or she was stopped from practice, should that occur. So if you lock up people en masse you’re going to have undiagnosed illnesses, injuries, nutritional issues and worse leading to premature demise of a certain percentage of the incarcerated population and quite possibly their intimates following release.

So yes, he can equivalently shoot someone on 5th Avenue and get away with it. He already did that and worse.

Ever read Verne's "The Mysterious Island"?

The book essentially begins with Northerners escaping Richmond, VA via a balloon in a violent storm of the Century (19th) which incredibly takes them across the US to the South Pacific. Verne’s description of the lashing of the city and being in the balloon which eventually leaves them on a deserted isle. Fascinating description prior to the science of meteorology as we now know it.

Great book. My favorite Verne novel and if you’ve read other Verne, the end will amaze you.
