Trump's team know the trial can't be about the actual crime

So the proceeding must be flawed from a technical standpoint. OK, I get that.

I loved how the last lawyer was able to transition from claiming the the Constitution was written in plain language that any citizen could understand, then went with a long and technical explanation of what it said.

I think we should take both paths that Trump's team offered, impeachment then a criminal trial. Double your pleasure, double your fun....

I was randomly hearted!

Thank you! My wife says I needed one.

Proud Boy Hilarity.

Ok, I want you folks to imagine this scene:

A bunch of Hoover building and Langley boys, knocking down a few tall-boys at the local watering hole. BS abounds as alcohol consumption increases. The subject of the Proud Boys comes up. One of the guys offers a bet. He says, "The Proud Boy bunch are so damn dumb that I bet any takers that we can insert a Black/Hispanic informer into their ranks and have him rapidly advanced to a senior leadership position."

I suspect some agent is drinking free beer for some time to come.

We think that the Republicans may have learned something this year? Oh, Hell no.

I probably won't be communicating with you little people much longer....

I just got my Publisher's Clearing House, "final drawing" form to fill out. I am reasonably sure I will win. The odds, in small print, on the form say that my odds of winning are 1 in 6,200,000,000. (yep, 6.2 billion)

Basically, they are putting the names of nearly every person in the planet (give or take a billion) and drawing one name. My chances of winning a Powerball is 1 in 95,000,000! (if I bought a ticket)

I am ordering a dozen magazine subscriptions today to improve my chance. They say it doesn't improve your chance, but I know better. They won't give it to someone who doesn't buy......

I'm gonna be rich! $5.000 dollars a week forever!

More seditious behavior from Trump

Hopefully, with a couple of weeks extra to dig, facts from this story can be presented in the Senate trial. I certainly think that it could be argued at least as supporting evidence.

I hope that they could not afford to buy the ticket

For the billion dollar lottery winner. I could use an instant billion dollar windfall. I could pay off all of my bills and have pocket change left over.

What the hard right is willing to fight for

The hard-core right has the perverted notion that in a country of 328,000,000 people that every individual can set his own rules, regardless of the needs or desires of others. It is a matter of social greed. A case of it is my world, and you are here because I allow it.If you disagree with me then you have no value. Their vision of Democracy is chaos, in fact they openly state that Democracy is mob rule. They read the Constitution through a drinking straw, ignoring the phrase that came before or after their pet line. They believe that it is right, Constitutional and patriotic to tear down the Constitution while at the same time, declaring that their rights and duties to do so come from the same document.

Theirs is a world of I, me, mine writ large. It is not a matter of your rights end where my nose begins, it is that my sphere of influence is limitless. You can't tell me what to do, but it is my full right to control what you do. What they do not realize is that their path is circular, that if they were able to attain their immediate goals, of a hard right society, with an all powerful daddy figure in charge and all of the "Socialists" and other undesirables, contained or eliminated, the chaos would not end, for they would then begin to make war on each other for the exact same same reasons.

These people are doing everything within their power to institute chaos. They visualize the condition of a world with no rules where every man gains his power by his ability to dominate others. The see a bloody civil war as a positive; a chance, in a world where they feel ignored and emasculated, to become heroes. If they ever gain real power, there will be no limits to their cruelty.

These people are dangerous to civilized society, and they are self replicating. When they break the laws, they can not be allowed to get away with it, because it further emboldens them and supports recruitment. We must reign them in while we are still able. Their motto is "we have the guns" and they are right, they do. The only thing that they lack is a charismatic leader, and there are plenty of them vying for the job; some of them in high elected office.

The German people fell into the grasp of the Nazis because no one had the desire to stand up to them when they were weak. They tried to ignore the Fascists. We are not so special that we are immune from the same failing and the same final results. We must get a handle on the insurrectionist, we must make an example of the leaders that is so unpalatable that they will want to crawl back under the rocks that spawned them while there is still a chance to do so. The longer we delay, the harder the chore.

My wife and I got our Moderna shot today.

It was quick and it would have been painless had I not asked the nice young lady if I was getting the Microsoft Chip or the Apple Chip.
I also expressed a concern that the chip might hang up in my heart stent.....My wife said her shot was painless.....

The process was very efficient. From the time we arrived at the facility to the time we drove away was one hour, and half of that was the required waiting period to make sure we wouldn't have an adverse reaction. We never left our car. They tell us that they will notify us in three weeks for round II.

I am very happy to have gotten that first step behind me.

Florida state representative, Anthony Sabatini, wants to name a 500 mile highway for Trump

U.S. Highway 27 runs from Miami the length of the state. Sabatini declared that Trump must have some monument in Florida because he was Florida's first president. His first error is Trump may live in Florida, but he is a New Yorker.....I would support his efforts if we renamed U.S. 27 the Sedition Trail. I certainly hope the State gives it some time before they replace all of the highway signs. It would be just the thing these frumps would do only to have to re-do them after Trump is convicted of multiple felonies. Then again, perhaps Sabatini an DeSantis own a sign company.....

Don't these assholes realize he is gone, and the ass kissing can stop?
