IMHO, DOJ should go on the offensive and make a very public statement

that's hard to spin by the RW media. Something to the effect of, "We can't release the search warrant because of the investigation. We don't do that. However, tfg has a complete copy of it and it's within his rights to release it. Of course, that'll then bring up the question of whether his version was edited."

Something like that.

I've been having fantasies about a TV show.

Okay, maybe not fantasies as such, but we've been watching The Blacklist on Netflix and I've caught myself wishing "Raymond Reddington" was real and that his black list included some of the people in DC that we love to hate.

Teaching adults on the autism spectrum?

Not sure if this is the correct forum for this. If not I'd appreciate a redirection.

I'm looking for books and/or resources on teaching adults on the spectrum. There's a ton of material on teaching kids and adolescents, but I haven't been able to find anything specifically on teaching adults. I've even contacted a couple of associations, but they didn't offer anything specific.

This would be for a vocational program for adults on the spectrum. Any thoughts or ideas?

is it too early for schadenfreude?

He won't be sentenced until October, and he'll probably appeal anyway, but is it too early?

Is DeathSantis channeling a Middle Ages pope?

From what I've been reading, it seems to me that he's slowly but surely creating a medieval society in FL. No abortion (a religious doctrine), ban books, ban "gay" (another religious no-no), change the educational system, threats. Right down the line.

Back in the Middle Ages in Europe, the Church held vast power over people by threatening them with hell if they didn't do what they were told and support the Church. They wanted people to not read (not even the Bible): keep 'em dumb and they'll do what we tell them. The few universities that developed were run by the Church.

Maybe he wants to become Pope Ron the First.

Who's next down the stairs?

It'll be really interesting to see who or what happens just before the next deposition date.

Hey, Vlad, this guy isn't useful to you any more. How about doing yourself and us a favor?

"Professional Strength"

I get such a kick out of all these products marked "professional strength" at the supermarket. Like toilet bowl cleaner and similar stuff. I'm just waiting for toilet paper to be marked that way.

I've never seen anything marked "amateur strength." Have you?

On inconveniencing poor beerboy.

I know "we're better than this," but I wish there were a way to track where people like McConnell, Thomas, McCarthy, and others of their ilk go so groups can form quickly to go protest like they did with beerboy.

And yes I know that it might encourage repuke minions to start doing it to Democrats, but, considering what we're seen of them, I believe it would be short-lived. They're bullies, and bullies back off when they feel threatened.

There's an app named Flightradar24 that tracks air traffic and provides good information. I'd love to see something similar to track repukes. Maybe call it RepukeRadar247.
