Can anyone please reiterate what the legal basis is for

public disclosure of Trump's personal tax returns (in the absence of criminal charges). I'm not clear on that and is it not a rather unusual or unprecedented action?

Why is Trump not pronounced by the courts to be a

vexatious litigant?? There certainly seems to be ample reason what with the numerous frivolous lawsuits he files.

And, add the hack lawyers he hires.

Calling all Wordsmiths!

We have a crisis developing here in which the English language no longer has the terminology to properly describe what has just happened. Words like buffoonery, idiocy, bizarre and incomprehensible are simply not adequate.

Surely the OED has been defeated - will anyone be able to come up with a solution??

Paraphrasing the late great Leonard Cohen:

The holy books are open wide
They're working day and night
But they'll never ever find that cure for ... Trump
There ain't no drink no drug
(Ah tell them, angels)
There's nothing pure enough to be a cure for Trump.

Imitation Seafood "Never Imitated"

From a Walmart Canada online ordering site:

'Aquamar Classic Flake Style Surimi 340g

Aquamar Real Fish. Never Imitated.

Imitation Crab Flakes'

That aside, anyone ever tried it? Is it a decent substitute for crab meat?

Has Doonesbury been hacked?

Can't seem to find any web sites that don't return a not available notice.

Cannot now even read Twitter

Just noticed it.

DU web site error message:

I keep getting (for over a month now) the following error message when switching to another DU web page.

"This site can’t provide a secure connection

democraticunderground.com sent an invalid response.

Try running Windows Network Diagnostics.

ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR"

Reloading always works the first time. I sent a report to the Admins a couple of weeks ago but crickets...

Was wondering if anyone else is having the same problem?

I've been getting a lot of these lately:

'This site can’t provide a secure connection

democraticunderground.com sent an invalid response.

Try running Windows Network Diagnostics.

ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR'

Only one at a time - reload always works.

Meanwhile, back on the ranch....
