I wonder---is demonstrated stupidity and/or extreme and transparent partisan bias

sufficient reason to impeach a federal judge?

Shouldn't we find out?

Though I have not always agreed with him, there are few people in public life more worthy

of respect---IMHO---than Bernie Sanders.

I was raised by parents who, when I asked why they were Democrats, explained that "Democrats are for the little guys; the poor, the sick, the different."

I can't think of another who has spent as many decades consistently fighting for those folks.

Mom and Dad would have loved Bernie.

So do I.

After Gohmert and Bachman and Palin, etc., etc., I know this is a big category, but

has there ever been a more profoundly stupid Republican candidate than Herschel Walker?

Geez, Louise! He couldn't poor piss out of a boot if the instructions were on the heel!

A few days ago, I expressed my concern that Judge Dearie might be just another

Trump "stooge". I added that I hoped my concern was proven wrong

"The jury is still out" on Judge Dearie, but I do feel more hopeful that I was wrong after his words today.

We shall see.

It would be helpful to many of us if someone with reliable information could explain what is

and what is not involved in the continued attention to the "Hunter Biden situation".

My understanding is that there is "no there there" and that there is no credible evidence of any wrongdoing by either President Biden or his son, but I have not followed the vague accusations closely.

Is this just more right-wing bs or not?

Thanks to any who can respond with the facts.

If you and I surreptitiously entered a business, rummaged through thei records and stole some

of their information and the entire several hour escapade was captured on video now available to law enforcement, do you think we might be arrested and charged with several crimes?

Folks, the above hypothetical describes almost exactly what Republican "fake electors" did in Coffee County, Georgia in an effort to overturn Biden's win of that state in the 2020 election. According to one of them, they "copied every freakin' ballot" cast in that county in the 2020 election.

All are identified Trump operatives.

To my knowledge, none are in custody, none have been arrested and none have been charged with a crime.

Have a wonderful day.

This is one of those days when it just seems like the bad guys are getting away with the

dismantling if our democracy and the good guys are continuing to be "the adults in the room" while it all happens.

Later.

To all the Tatas and Nanas who financially supported Trump and now don't know how they will

pay the rent or mortgage, meet the copay requirements for their prescriptions or put a little something under the tree this Christmas for those grandkids, DON'T FEEL BAD! At least he's putting your contributions to good use!

He just spent THREE MILLION DOLLARS to hire a hotshot attorney whose office you could not get into to TRY to keep his skanky ass out of prison even though he's a thief, a traitor, a liar and an insurrectionist!

Find a newspaper clipping about that and put a copy in each grandkid's stocking, OK?

They'll be proud of you, don't you think?
