I cannot help it. I consider this Judge Dearie nothing more than another Trump stooge. I will

be very happy to be proven totally wrong, but that's where I'm at.

When I hear people---many of them Democrats---saying that Dearie is a decent "straight down the middle" judge who was respected by lawyers of all stripes for years, I hear echoes; echoes of all the alarmingly similar assurances I heard about a guy named Barr.

We will soon know if Dearie is willing to "decide" whether documents stamped "CLASSIFIED" are classified and whether Judge Cannon's invention of "residual executive privilege" will survive.

Trump has "touched" Judge Dearie and I fear he will---well, you know what happens to such people.

Judge Cannon writes her decisions aided by MSU---

"Making Shit Up"

I have always disagreed with most things that most every Republican advocated, but there

was usually only a handful that I actively disliked---until the last decade or so.

There are now literally dozens of Republicans who richly deserve a spot on my "plain old-fashioned bad person" list. Some are more brazen and arrogant than others, but what they all have in common is their self-centeredness---their utter disregard for how their words and actions hurt others so long as they profit from them.

I will now begin naming some of those I have in mind, but the list will be very incomplete because I am sure I will hit my disgust limit long before I run out of names:

Trump, Pence, Meadows, Flynn, Barr, Clark, McConnel, McCarthy, Nunes, Jordan, Boebert, Greene, Cawthorn, Gaetz, Gohmert, Cruz, Cotton, Johnson, Graham, Scott, Rubio, Paul, Blackburn, Cornyn, Kavanaugh, Alito, Barrett, Thomas, Abbot, DeSantis,----------that's all I can take!

None of these people should ever hold any public office and treating them "civilly" should end with "not spitting on them".

"I don't know what a 'wonton killing' is."----- Rep. Boebert

Well, dumplin', first they fill you with minced pork and then they BOIL you in soup!

If you survive, purchase a handy book we call the "dick-shun-airy". (It has nothing to do with your husband.)

"Imagine (You're Convicted)"--- for tfg---with apologies to John

I imagine you're convicted
And prison's where you'll die
Bound for hell below us
Where forever you will fry

Imagine all the people
Dancing in the street
Ah---

Imagine no hair stylist
No orange putty for your face
No shield lifts to grow you
No rallies any place

Imagine all the people
Delirious with joy
Ah---

You may say I'm a snowflake
But I'm not the only one
We're all laughing "cause it's time to
Stick a fork in you: YOU'RE DONE!

Republicans should track down this person named "N. E. Wunnelse" because he or she is

who millions in their party prefer when asked if Trump should run in 2024.

If a candidate for public office insisted that condoms contained "baby seeds", cats were the advance

scouts of space aliens planning to invade earth and world sea levels were dropping, would you even consider voting for them?

Know this: there are dozens of current Republican candidates who will be on ballots this November who have made claims no less outrageously

stupid than those three.

SOME will be elected.

Strap in, folks.

Just a reminder--- each time you watch video of the thugs who savagely beat, impaled,

bear-sprayed, tased, crushed and otherwise attempted to kill the law enforcement officers guarding the Capitol on January 6th, THESE ARE THE CRIMINAL FOOLS TRUMP INTENDS TO GIVE A FULL PARDON AND AN APOLOGY!

"A Whiter Shade of Fail"----with apologies to Procol Harum

They skipped the Constitution
And befouled the marble floor
TV coverage made me sick
The crowd called out for more
The mob was pressing harder
The police were held at bay
When the Capitol cried out "Help us!"
The White House turned away

And so it was that later
Stephen Miller told his tale
And Trump's face, at first just pasty,
Turned a whiter shade of fail.

Will Trump's official portrait be a front and side head shot with a

line of numbers at the bottom of each view?

Asking for a lot of friends.
